Hi Narda--oh you have Bostons (they are such handsome little dogs). My daughter went
to BU, so she's a "Terrier." We have Jack Russells. Anyway, the vet said it takes
very little Roundup to get on a paw, be licked, ingested, and then toxic. I guess I'd
just rather pull the weeds. I had real success just buying cheap paring knives and
slicing them through sidewalk cracks to get out dandelions and plaintain and quack
grass and so forth. Kris
