[nagdu] Butterfly show.

[Margo and Arrow]

Well, I've had two dogs who would have eaten butterflies if given a chance.
For example, there's a butterfly conservatory close by in Canada and the
butterflies fly all around you and I do think two of my previous dogs would
have scarfed up butterflies.

I think Ben would be good in such a situation, unless perhaps I held the
nectar down near him, in which case, he might want it for himself.  I don't
think butterflies are afraid of dogs.
The only problem I've had, taking my dog to a show garden, is that naturally
the dog wants to zoom down the walk, and I want to stop and smell the
flowers.  But the dog adapts.
