Oh thanks for the laugh/smile my friend @Honeybit, I really needed it!
Our Amy would have been great friends with TMFY, both a couple of laid back, incredibly well tempered, beautiful Lhasa's. And to be honest I don't know if she was graceful or not as she never did anything but walk . . . squirels and bunnies were more than safe in our yard . . . 
And all I can say for poor Sugar is that the pickins must be slim at her household that canned green beans are a treat . . . just kidding as green beans are not my favorite to begin with (unless they come straight from the field which happens virtually never around here. The one time I stumbled onto them I was stuffing them into my face like a lunatic) but I cannot imagine even trying canned green beans . . . 
TMFY knows his stuff!
Sorry for all the humidity my friend, hope your AC is still behaving itself in your car.

On a light note, you might be amused to hear that a friend told me her dog Sugar loved canned green beans as a treat, so I got some for TMFY to try. He promptly spat it out and gave me the look which said, "Well, I heard there were dog poisoners at work in the neighborhood, but I never dreamed one of them was YOU !" Apparently he isn't a fan of green beans.....
Honeybit,
Your dog/canned green bean story made me laugh. It reminded me of our cat's quirky culinary tastes.
When we first got married, we bought a house out in the county. We had a friend who lived in a nearby city who loved coming out for the weekend since he really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the country.
We had just finished eating dinner and were sitting in the family room watching television and visiting. I had made a chicken pot pie in a glass casserole dish for dinner and was letting it cool down a bit before putting it in the refrigerator. We had eaten about half of it.
All of a sudden we heard a weird noise from the hallway between the kitchen and the family room. DH and I jumped up to see what was happening. Our cat had thrown up a tremendous amount of what looked like chicken pot pie. (The carrots were the dead giveaway.) When I went into the kitchen, I saw that she had eaten quite a bit of the leftover chicken pot pie that had been cooling on top of the stove. I still don't know how she could eat as much as she did.
As of that point, she had never jumped up on the stove or the surrounding counters. I guess the aroma must really had an irresistible appeal to her. The pot pie had the usual assortment of veggies in it: carrots, green peas, onions, celery, and canned sliced mushrooms.
She was none the worse for wear due to her overindulgence, so we pretty much chalked it up to a one-time occurrence and forgot about it.
A year or two later, we had sold the house in the country and were living in an apartment before we moved to The Big House (sounds sort of like some sort of prison, doesn't it?). I was fixing dinner and the phone rang. (I had already opened a can of sliced mushrooms and was going to put them in something I was cooking.) I turned to answer the wall phone and had a brief conversation with a friend. When I got off the call and turned around, I saw that the cat had jumped up on the counter. I had never even heard her. (With her stealth, she would have made an excellent Cat Burglar--I know--groan.) In any event, she was chowing down with great gusto on those canned mushrooms.
Remembering the previous “Chicken Pot Pie Cat Caper,” I reached the conclusion that some animals really do like canned mushrooms. Perhaps your dog would prefer them to the canned green beans. Of course, check with your Veterinarian or other Canine, Feline, or Other Animal Health Professional before feeding your animal canned mushrooms.
A WORD OF WARNING: Your animal may develop a “problem” (Obsession? Addiction?) with canned mushrooms. If you see any of the telltale signs that we observed with our cat, you may want to find a support group or State-Licensed AHCP (Animal Health Care Professional) for animals struggling with Canned Mushroom Issues.
Does anybody else have any stories to tell about unusual things that their pets like to eat?

VaBelle,
Love the car. I have but one question: Do you have an coordinating scuba dress and accessories to go with that car?
Legend has it that the reason I bought my first black camry was because I bought a leather coat and I needed a car to match.
Do not be surprised if I end up with a red leather jacket ;o)
VaBelle,
I hate to be an enabler, but QVC has a great deal on a red leather jacket:
