More Dog Stuff, cause that's how I am

So I had to take Zapp into the vet again last week to get her ears checked again. Good news-her ears were clear of infection and it only cost $28 to meet with the vet this time. Anyway, while I was there I asked the vet about the "grapes being toxic to dogs" controversy. He said, in fact, that yes it has been found that grapes can cause liver and other organ damage in dogs, but it's a finding that's popped up only in the last 8-12 months. He said a grape every now and then is fine, but don't let the dogs have access to a whole bunch because they'll think they're for them, eat them, and possibly die. So FYI.

Apparently Shooter loves flowers off all types, real or faux. A couple posts ago I mentioned that I sewed felt flowers on a tank top I have. Shooter first encountered this the other day and he kept smelling the flowers on my chest. The shirt is now draped across the arm of the rocking chair and he keeps coming up to it, gently pressing his nose to it to see if it smells. He exactly like Ferdinand the Bull, a character from a story that makes Ross feel emotion and he therefore cannot read.
