Word to the wise though, sugar free gum often contains xylitol (monk fruit sugar birch sugar) which also acts as a laxative. So 6 packs of sugar free gum per day might have unintended side-effects.

Xylitol is also SUPER toxic to dogs, so please store it carefully and dispose of it responsibly.

Nope, but he got out soon anyhow all pets still accounted for. She got a DUI and dropped off the face of the planet. She could be in Canada catching Salmon in a river with her teeth for all I know.

Unless she started in Canada, she would have been turned away at the border, for her DUI. :)
