Oh, wait! I *have* heard of fiddleheads now. I think it was on a Man vs. Wild or other survival-type show.
I guess none of us are without our flaws and shadows, but your mother had the right idea. I'm glad you got to see your Grampy as magical and not flawed. :)
I re-read my sentence up there... lol... the bear I saw was happily at a birdfeeder, munching on *seed*. I think I'd've been a bit more skeered if he was happily munching *on* the feeder. This was up in Northern Minnesota and we were staying at a cabin with friends. The freaky thing was that we'd been letting our smallish kids out to play nearby without worry. Good thing they didn't smell like berries or seeds!
*nods* I wouldn't doubt it. At least they have a non-toxic phase, unlike, say, buttercups.
Eee! Yeah, if those kids had been redolant of peanut butter and jam sandwiches, there might have been a problem!
As far as I know, the dog lived out his life happily part of the ursine family. They couldn't take him to the vet if there were health issues, of course, but there you go.

I take it the dog turned out okay? I hope!

No doubt! It was a bit of an eye opener. Really, we should have been aware of that possibility--especially as we were rusticating with the kiddies.
Sounds like that particular dog was perfectly happy, vet visits or no. :)
