Dogs are weird and can pick up some peculiar habits. We had a sheepdog - poodle mix that would eat anything. Literally anything. Tried our best to keep stuff off the floor and train it not to eat socks, sticks, rocks, etc., but it was sneaky.

Eventually it swallowed something that it couldn’t throw back up. Sadly it was also the most stoic dog and never showed signs of distress until it was too late to do anything. The vets tried, but he just didn’t survive long after surgery.

I hate knowing that he suffered any at all, but damn he was a dumb stubborn assed dog.

Also … FFS people are stupid, reading comprehension is a thing of the past and common sense ain’t so common.

I have answered someone’s question twice with a relatively simple “no” and they still don’t get that no means no and move the eff on. If I could only reach through the computer screen.

Our Weim had something similar happen...my wife is pretty sure he swallowed a lava rock...perhaps thinking it was food.

He was basically drooling and foaming at the mouth all night long...I was giving him peroxide to induce vomiting and stayed up with him all night, keeping him moving, etc.

Vet told us the next day that it probably saved him...but I really don't know. It was a harrowing night...one of a few he gave us during his too short life.
Some breeds really seem like they are prey to some really awful stuff.

Mixed breeds seem way more impervious in my experience.

I bet SwarthyGnome can relate. You may be talking about the same guy. There are a series of profile posts on Dan's profile from a guy who fits your description!

I don't drink a lot of beer, but this stuff is great. In keeping with the CPK theme: if you look carefully, you might be able to see the pre-production DEK1 on my hip...

I am assuming it was translation issue now. After ignoring his last email for more info on what I told him he didn’t need to worry about he finally emailed back and apologized saying he did understand. Gotta love international businesses.

Yeah, but probably not open handed. Thick heads require a less delicate touch. Ask me how I know and how thick my head is.

I have about 20 gallons of kerosene left over from the heating season. I remember thinking how ridiculous it was, $4 a gallon, but now that's cheaper than diesel. I wonder what happens if I put it in my truck?

Let me know what happens.

FDA approves 2nd C19 Boosters for people 50 and Over.

I'm getting mine on Friday, April Fools Day. LOL!

Update 04/01/2022:

I did actually get my 2nd C19 booster shot today. No problem.

I've heard it can do a really good job at removing any gum and varnish deposits, possibly along with piston rings, crankshaft bearings and any existing vehicle warranties

Call Alaska Airlines. You might be able to trade it against two tickets to Hawaii for you and Jo the Machinist In particular if you have a pilot license

I had a moment of weakness mixed with lust yesterday and jumped on this knife by Aaron Wilburn MS because the blade profile and sculpted koa handle were just too much to watch pass by! 8-3/8” blade of 52100 steel is the flavor here.

any Willburn knife is a knife worth having. That dude is awesome at what he does and is an awesome guy

I have a stag slipjoint from him as well which is really nice. I don’t have a use for a large bowie/chopper style knife (that needs to change) but I‘m happy as hell to be getting it!
