Speaking of glossy coats... When my mother had her two labs, Brutus and Blaize, (Blaize was euthanized when she was four due to bad, bad, bad sickness, and Brutus followed her ten years later) were puppies, they were absolute double trouble.

Once of the things they did was get into two pounds of butter, that was going to be made into desserts for parties. The dogs ate it, and their coats SHONE for weeks.
