We woke up this morning to dense fog, not so good for taking photos of recently finished knits. So I will share a "Buster Brown Christmas Story".
First: his primary Christmas (actually his only) present was purchased by his dad at PetSmart.
Second, Buster so loved this "friend" that he carried him everywhere.
and he cuddled him as often as possible,
HOWEVER. . . (isn't there always a however?). Just one day after getting this stuffed animal, Buster began to cough and cough all day long. He began making noises like an old man with flem. He occasionally spit up, something he never does, and had another response best not discussed .
So after much discussion about possible causes for Buster's behavior, we took his friend away and put the innocent looking toy in a closet. Within a few hours Buster stopped coughing and spitting, as well as not doing the other thing.
Now I know this is not science --- but I think there is some evidence of a strong relationship. If "made in China" toys are potentially dangerous to our children, those items may be potentially dangerous to our pets. Just sayin', and so you know PetSmart had absolutely no response when we told them what happened. Got a shoulder shrug.
Buster is fine now.
**you have to do that double click thing on the photos to make them bigger. Sorry.
