Dogs and Yeast Rolls, Hilarious Tale
Comments (8)Cute story, and very typical. My daughter worked for a vet for years. Believe me, they've heard everything. My worst/best dog stories involved Snickers. A wooly Jack Russell mix I rescued from the dog pound. He was decently behaved food wise, but was into Christmas big time. Literally. Nobody imagined he'd want to open presents under the tree and one of them involved a cannister of bright blue chalk-line powder my daughter had bought for her step dad. Did I mention brand new gold carpeting? I had gotten the man a rather expensive watch, because it had just gone on super sale and he needed one. That present made it to his wrist, but he laid it on an end table Christmas night and the next morning it was gone. The kids and I found the remnants of the watch strewn on the floor of the bedroom behind the door. Nothing was left of it but the stem and part of the case. My son says "We have a REAL watchdog. He even has ticks. Bringing that dog home wasn't the most popular thing I ever did where my ex was concerned, and I am normally an honest and open person. But, I felt very sorry for the dog, so spent the entire next day calling around to stores looking for an exact duplicate. Well, I found out why it was on sale. It was a discontinued model. The fates smiled on me that day and I was able to locate one more and I beat it to the store on my way home from work and shelled out another hunk of my hard earned cash. I carefully placed the new watch under the same end table he remembered putting it on and then the ex "found" it that night. I chided him about being more careful with his belongings and nobody ever ratted on the dog or me. I looked in the mirror that night fully expecting my nose to have grown an inch or two....See MoreWhat animals or animal parts have you composted?
Comments (18)There is one other place I know of you are likely to read about composting animals. The humanure handbook website forum. It wasn't till I started humanure composting that I learned how to get a really good hot compost pile that would easily handle rotting carcass and control smell and other animals digging it up. So what have we composted. I really can't even count the bones and scraps of animals we have eaten since we always compost all food scraps that don't go to the chickens or worm bins. It is a firm rule here to avoid putting anything stinky in the trash can. So, animal bodies in our compost bin lately. 3 sick chickens we didn't want to make the rest of the flock sick. Any dead squirrels we find around the house. 12 rats we caugh And all fish parts that the chickens don't get, I've found that burying fish parts causes critters to dig up the yard or whatever plant I put over it so composting seems to be the best way for use to take care of it. I agree that this is an advanced composting thread. No one who is not confident of their ability to manage a hot compost pile should be putting dead bodies in it....See MoreButterflies on dead dog
Comments (8)Truthseeking, My brother is just finishing his PhD dissertation on Yellow Tiger Swallow tails. When he was working on the research portion of his project, I went with him to capture butterflies for DNA. He taught me that male butterflies, in preparation for mating, will "puddle". "Puddling" is a behavior just like you describe. The males need to find a combination of moisture and a high protein source, so you will often find swarms of them on the ground where a dead animal is or has been. In western Michigan, we often found them on the beaches feeding on dead fish washed up on the moist sand. Hopefully a more knowledgeable person will speak up, but that is my understanding of that behavior. Martha...See MoreShould dogs see their buddies dead?
Comments (20)During the past year I have had to put three of my elderly pets (Tara 18, Tuppie 17, Midge 14)to sleep. It has been a year of many tears but also one of deep remembrance. I believe in a multipet household it is better to allow your pets to view the body of his/her friend. Lets face it, there is a hierarchy within a home with additional pets and they need to know the other pet has passed. Sometimes this does cause a disturbance in the pecking order as another rises to be the alpha. But they need to know and understand that they have passed. All of my pets have been euthanized at home .. where they are comfortable and relaxed. I have held them and assisted in their passing. My husband .. a man of few emotions .. prefers to be at home where he also feels comfortable in displaying his emotions. There is nothing worse than steping out into a waitroom full of other clients in a time of such deep sorrow. We have still seen periods of minor depression in our one dog who has been taught to be low man on the totum pole as she is so big .. and alot of behavioural changes with our cats with the passing of each pet.
