In which a tree-hugging, liberal neo-hippy vegan mama writes about her life as a transplanted Gringa in Ticolandia, animal rights, human rights, and anything else that might strike her fancy. She swears a lot and she can be rather snarky. You've been warned.

Common Costa Rica plants poisonous to dogs
Hey, here's something I just read about in the ASPCA newsletter: the Brunfelsia plant is deadly poisonous to dogs. It's pretty common here (the purple flowers eventually turn to white), so I thought I'd get the word out. Here are a couple of pictures for reference; more information about the plant can be found at this Wiki article.

Another one I already knew about is Datura, called "Queen of the Night/Reina de la Noche" here. This one is poisonous to all pets and children.
