I don't want to rain on your parade, but keep the dog away from the kalanchoe, it is toxic to animals and the fatal dose in calves is something like seven grams of leaves and flowers.

oh i know. it's far far away from the dog and the cat. someone gave me a tiny houseplant. i think i might take ti to work.

Don't you just *almost* hate the budding time? It's like being a kid on Christmas Eve. Quick, quick - let's get to the good stuff.

i keep checking everything daily. it's like the plant foliage grows and grows every 5 mintues, but the minute it buds, it seems to stop in time.
