We Finally Learned the Truth

... about Guinness's tongue gash at his pet hotel last August. The original story can be seen at http://dogsofourlives.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-else-can-happen.html.

What really happened is -- they were walking Guinness past the food cart, a two shelved cart with food for the dogs on the top shelf and trash on the lower shelf. As Guinness approached the cart, he smelled goodies on the lower shelf and tried to lick an opened and empty can, gashing his tongue. This is similar to what we expected had happened. You mean that other dogs can walk past a food cart without lurching to glean some treats?

Anyone familiar with labs would expect one to reach for either the trash or the food on top. Someone was not thinking that morning...
