Thank you. Pups like it too! They think some of the flowers are delicacies. I think that’s all the rescue pup ate. He was very thin.

My daughter rescued a dog who was abandoned in the swamp. Ribs showing. Worms. Bad skin. No microchip. She brought him to me. Skye loves him. Seems I have two dogs now. He is a cutie pie.
