Strange & Weird Things

Learned this one at the vet yesterday
If your dog has eaten a box of staples or Christmas ornaments (you have a stupid dog) and you need to get the glass safely out of its system the secret you need is "The Cottonball Effect" Take cotton balls which must be real cotton not the synthetic puffs. Rip in half and Dip in cream or gravy, feed to dog. 2-4 for a small dog up to 5-7 for a large dog. Yes they will eat them, people says they seem to think they are special treats. (Mind you this is the same animal that ate glass so its not like they have taste) Anyway the cotton gathers up the glass in the intestines and delivers safely out the other end without the need for surgery. Sounds a little odd but does make sense and it was in the Vets newsletter so I am guessing it actually works.

DO you really like perfume? You may not after reading this.

civet or civet cat,any of a large group of mostly nocturnal mammals of the Old World family Viverridae (civet family), which also includes the mongoose. Civets are not true cats, but the civet family is related to the cat family (Felidae). Most civets have catlike bodies, long tails, and weasellike faces. Their fur may be gray or brown, and may be marked in various patterns.

All civets have scent-producing glands, located in a double pouch near the genitals. The fatty yellow secretion of these glands has a distinctive musky odor used for territorial marking. Commercially, this substance is known as civet and is used as a perfume fixative. Civet can be removed from captive animals every 14 to 20 days. And guess what they produce more when pissed off. Now isn't this the job you want to have and isn't what you really want to wear. Haven't worn any perfume other than natural oils for years and now I know why.

A second note on this:
SARS link: China culls civet cats
Civets are considered a delicacy in wild game restaurants in southern China.

The announcement Monday came after researchers at Hong Kong University said they found similarities between a virus found in the cats and in a suspected SARS patient in the southern Chinese province

I am feeling really sorry for the cats about now. Maybe SARS was payback for squeezing their genital glands and eating them while wearing them as perfume.

last and least disgusting
Did you know that when you sneeze your entire body shuts down? Heart, brain the works. But a sneeze is hardest on the eyes. You automatically close your eyes when you sneeze because a particularly hard sneeze could pop that eyeball right out.

Okay I am done with the educational stuff for today and I want to know more about this Shameful behavior of LYdias. Are there Pictures??????????????????????
