And still on another note, when we had carpet in our house I was always
zapping our dog on her nose on those cold dry days, she'd kinda freak out.

I do that with my cat, except I don't need a carpet. Stroke her side a few
times, shock her nose and then she chomps on my finger. It's down to the
point now that it's a game we play and she keeps coming back for more. I end
up laughing my head off for about ten minutes.
