Great comment. That pressure on your cheek was me.

He has this article, I directed him to your handle. Thank you.

Lucky you, chicken. It's in e-v-e-r-y-thing. Unspeakable things it does to her. Sucks. Every time we're out cuz she goes e-v-e-r-y-where with me, they wanna give her treats and I have to say no, please don't....

I was gonna mention something about garlic, I see you and wrest chatted about it. You obviously have a good grip on things, I'll make sure to lean on you if I get stumped.

My sister had a dog that was allergic to chicken, so I am familiar with the struggle. I made sure my dog's treats had no chicken in them when I went to visit her. It came in handy that my sister is so good at getting into peoples faces.

I kinda have the opposite problem when others want to give my Hazel treats. I can confidenly say "sure go right ahead" but I am not so confident she will eat them. She's been so spoiled in the treat department ("high value treats" as her trainer called it), she often won't eat the offered milkbones or whatever. She simply does not like low quality foods!

She does, however, love just about any other dog's kibble, which I give her very little of. Her most recent vet visit had the vet astonished by how good her dental health is. Do I brush her teeth you ask? Nah... never have, not even once. Maybe that's the little dish of homemade yogurt (made from raw milk) I give every morning when I have mine, another supposed no-no, cow dairy.

How's your knee? You made a mention of how you can get down now, I suppose that means it's much better? Or was it your foot? Can't remember, just remember you were very badly injured. I hope you've recovered!

Knee. Ahead of schedule. Real happy with it. I'm electric sliding and tango'ing and stop me if you've heard this. Thank you.

Dang, that one's on the list? Dairy? Oops. This one looooves yogurt. Her little eyes close and her ears go back like she's dreaming.

Retriever, by chance? Interestingly enough, the sick dog I wrote about is also Hazel. A retriever.

Huh! I recently met another dog named Hazel, and a goat! I thought I was being so clever with that name.

Mini Australian Shepherd. Best dog I ever had, and I've had quite a few. One thing she does not do well, is retrieve. Inside, all good. Outside, she's off into the woods. Hopefully not with a toy in her mouth, because I will never see that toy again.

I'm really glad to hear your knee is doing so well. I was pretty worried, it was very extreme at first.

That's right. Every time you tell me she's a mini Australian I'm like, that's right.

This one either. First GSD I've ever had or even known that won't retrieve. Will not. True story—she once swam the frisbee out to the middle of the lake, spit it out and swam back. That really happened.

You so love your dog like I do. Dog people are cool. Have any other animals?

Two cats, one quirky calico named Patches (I inherited her) and one once-upon-a-time feral cat, who chose me to tame him, named Freddy. When my kids were young, we had just about every other common pet a person can have. I could not keep aquatics alive, inside or out. But mammals do well with me.

haha I can see the frisbee out there floating on the lake.
