    I guessed it was not your pic alright Greg. I just wanted to highlight the dangers of grapes (also onions..garlic..and human chocolate) to dogs. While most dog lovers/owners on here would know this already, I suppose it is no harm to highlight it anyway.

    At least ...(I assume)... he lets you put on his jacket. My fella puts up an almighty fight each time I attempt to put it on. I doubt he realises just how dry he is because of it, when we come back from a walk on a wet day.

    Another controversial Jeff Berlin video

    Totally agree. I admit that I was amused and surprised at the title of this thread. :D A "controversal" video ??? :thumbsdown: I think not. Just a musician giving his opinion. People can agree/disagree/discuss a topic posted by him, but, as with... "60Ibass"... I don't get all the...
