Dennis, you should go on TV! That is a really funny story about the dog with the Norfolk pine...AND you are exactly right...it IS a Norfolk Pine. My bad! Thanks for the comment. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
I had one of those once (although we called it a Norfolk pine), but my dog ate it. Honest -- the tree was fully three feet high, and the dog was (note the "was") a springer spaniel. She ate anything she could get her paws on -- once caught her sweeping a paw across the kitchen counter to knock stuff on the floor so she could eat it. She also once got into a stack of small Godiva gift boxes I was wrapping for office gifts. Between the pine needles, chocolate, and other stuff she ate, it's a wonder she lived to be an old lady. She's lucky *I* didn't kill her. :)
