We boarded our dogs when they were young. We used a boarding place that had concrete floors and then switched to one with grass outside. Bad idea – because when they came home we spent the whole day pulling ticks off them they picked up while they were on the grass.
The theobromine in chocolate is harmful to most living beings, including humans. However, the human liver can process theobromine fast enough that it never builds up to dangerous levels unless you consume a huge amount of it in a very short period of time. (it’s something like hundreds of pounds in like 10 minutes). That’s why it’s also possible for dogs to eat a tiny amount of chocolate without being sick – as long as it doesn’t exceed a certain level they’ll be fine. The problem is even a small chocolate bar is often too much.
I don’t think Annie’s ears are docked. She’s just a dog with pointy ears (like on a husky) rather than floppy ears (like a lab). Of course, I’ve seen a mutt with half floppy ears so the base of them are pointy but the tips are floppy, so as he walks they clop open and closed in a cute way.
Arctic isn’t staying cold anymore though. I think even Alaska got into the 80 degrees in the spring this year. Permafrost is melting and so on. Certainly room for a followup now.
One of the worst is from the 80s in an ad. “Are you keeping up with the Commodore? Because the Commodore is keeping up with you”. That’s how computers were advertised back in those days…
