I'm glad Boots will be ok. That is a horrible thing to happen. Poison is such a harsh thing. My dog is quite picky about food, but I bet he would take a pill in a hot dog too, and he does like icecream. He will be a year old on Oct 1, at least that is the day we deemed as his birthday based on the baby teeth that were coming out when we found him and what the vet figured. Yep, our gardening season is almost over, got down to 40 again last night. The deer came along over the weekend and ate all the leaves off my new hostas here at work. Guess they will be down for the winter too. Better get some of those seed catalogs.
