Okay - here's a "random thought" - if garlic is bad for dogs, then why is it an ingredient in many brands of canned dog food?

It's onions, not garlic, that's bad for dogs, and that only in large quantities. The two are related, but not the same thing.

The garlic is actually in there, like other substances, to make it smell better to the humans who buy the stuff. But garlic in small quantities is fine for dogs, and even has some beneficial effects.

I was being facetious! And yes, garlic as well as onions, can be toxic to dogs in large doses. I used to put garlic powder in my dog's food when I had my Lhasas - a natural flea deterrent and a lot less expensive than commercial flea products.

Well, we won't have to worry about vampires for a whole week?

If you're not back I'll send Patch and the Edster to go find you, Lady's a little tied up with schmoozing the ladies at the moment.

Anyone heard from the barkeep? Did he make it out of the L+F? I see a frayed rope here... hmmm....

Well, in the meantime, I've set up the coffee - we'll skip the roasted garlic until lunch - OK?
