hiccups

I took my dog to the vet today to get a spot on her leg checked. By the end of the appointment, I'd managed to get the hiccups. As I was checking out, the vet tech that was helping me gave me the solution of letting a teaspoon of sugar dissolve on my tongue. To support her statement, she went and got sugar from their stash for their coffee. I figured it couldn't hurt to try it and by the time I got home they were gone. Woo hoo! So, I thought I'd share it here. When you get the hiccups, try the sugar.
