storage. when you buy them, very white all the way around. free from any sprouting whatsoever. when you bring them home, do not store them in the refrigerator. store them in a cool, dry place. now, the shelf life is not long as yellow onions. as a matter of fact, shelf life is short. they start to break down and sprout up on you so buy them and enjoy them within 10 days at the most. yellow onions last about two weeks. but not these. every day counts! as a matter of fact, buy them and enjoy them. but when you saute them, it doesn't take long for the sugar to come out. and i'm tony tantillo, your fresh grocer. nd always remember to eat fresh and stay healthy. still ahead, getting pets ready for halloween. what you can do to keep them safe for trick or treat. the mae gave her top executive managed aa huge pay raiseet, and a lavish car allowance, run up a deficit, then cut jos for local teenagers,

that to remind people that chocolate is very toxic to animals and can be lethal so be careful. also black cats if you have a black cat try to keep the black cat inside because we don't want them to accidentally be the victim of some unkind person. and, um, what was the other thing i wanted -- oh, when you're taking your dog out for a walk, make sure it's well lit so that reflective tape or lights or whatever and another thing is to keep them very close to you when you're crossing in a crosswalk because cars don't often see the little dogs. they will see but not the dog. so sometimes people will walk their dogs and the dog will be ahead or behind and that's how they can get hit by a car. >> we always hear about chocolate being dangerous but nuts are toxic, too. >> my rule of thumb no people food for dogs and cats. if you follow that rule, you will never have problems. >> costumes are okay? >> costumes are great. just remember that they should be reflective and people can see them so there's -- it's dark at night so we have

flashlights. they do not. >> dr. jill, i'm loving your halloween costume. >> thank you. >> and cody, too. >> if you have a question about your pet's health and well- being, we want to hear from you. just just email us at pets@kpix.com and we'll have our pet expert give you an answer every friday right here at noon. >> we'll be right back. iful , ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
