Thanks for the web site plug, Lara! No, nothing new for Penny, though she did dine on a palmetto bug this morning. I let the kids out onto the screened in patio this morning. We had a cold snap last night (plummeted into the 60's!) and they love the cooler weather. While out there Penny came across one of those and had it for breakfast. I don't particularly mind her eating those things, but I do worry that they could be carrying a parasite/bacteria/virus that might be harmful. Does anyone know if that's likely? Dr. K? I don't know what I could do about it since palmetto bugs are just a part of life down her in Miami, and Penny is not always right in front of me when she finds one.
