I can just imagine the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth that would have insued at my house if the same had happened.

As a big dog fan myself, I think I'd have to have some serious time away from even my own dog if it did anything so horrible! I'm glad to hear that at least the damage was minimal, and if it makes you feel any better, your Alcea is looking spectacular even with the chewing!<BR/><BR/>Your Sockret PalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15600438.post-1164412913788789452006-11-24T17:01:00.000-07:002006-11-24T17:01:00.000-07:00oh, my GOD!
