EDIT: Googled it, and bamboo is not toxic to pets.
It is a grass, so generally safe. But the leaves are rough, I read somewhere they can cause irritation and minor bleeding. But otherwise it's not harmful.
Maggie came up the hallway to where I am sitting a few minutes ago. She had something hanging out of her rear end. I cleaned it off, and it looks like bamboo leaves. (We have a bamboo stand in the back yard.) Then I found them all down the hallway floor. Gross, but I guess it won't harm her, I hope.

Yeah, they can be a bit of an obligation. We decided some time ago that we didn't need any more kids or animals. Then we inherited a grandson who is still a work in progress.
But I love labs. A young couple, Barbara and Steve, moved next door to us about 27 years ago - no kids, but a black lab named Holly, a really sweet lady. About a year later, Barb called us late one night to tell us they were going to the hospital because the baby was on it's way. After they left, Holly started howling mournfully, feeling that something was wrong. The next day they brought home baby Thomas, who was immediately adopted as her own by Holly. I remember seeing Thomas toddling through their front yard and Holly getting between Thomas and the street and nudging him gently back toward the house.
Naw, I couldn't even afford a dog right now, let alone not really wanting one and my allergies to them. I also won't have any other pets barging in on Ceili's scene while she's this old.
I just like to enjoy other people's dogs.

She's a beautiful Cream (technically Light Yellow) Lab. My niece has one who is a real sweetheart. Now you're going to want one.

I couldn't decide whether to put this here or More Cuteness. My friends were puppysitting today for this sweet little girl...she looks a little uncertain. Maybe it's because she's barely gotten used to her new humans - and they leave her here with strangers and two other dogs that she's never met.
