Shotgun response - I haven't read the article yet, but I'm assuming there's some questionable parenting involved?
Grown into her feet - Please tell me there're pictures. I couldn't handel the disappointment of not seeing that.
Riding with the dog - Oh for- Look, pets aren't allowed! Get over it! Is she seriously contending that her PTSD is alleivated by her dog? I'd like to see the doctor's write-up: Patient suffers from severe post-traumatic stress disorder; prescription: dog.

Wow, those feet look... really... um. Wow. Just wow. I imagine they must have been quite aromatic.

I think the Monkey Meat is the best strange news off the Island since the Ninja Burglar, who was supposed to've dressed up in a Ninja uniform & mask and break into homes armed with Nunchucks:
