Oscar Remembered

Some of you remember the puppets we made about this time last year. Well, here was mine. Oscar Wilde realized via sock media was eaten about a day after construction ended. No other puppet was even looked at. He was eaten with the help of a little pug named Ringo.

Hip or Dangerous?

Neither! Unless we used to date. ZING! Oh boy oh boy oh boy I need to get out of the house.

Its Not Easy Being Green

Gone for 4 hours. Not too long in doggie years. This was the bandanna I got the little guy for New Years (he likes to look fancy). It was also around his neck before I left. No more.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Coprophagia literally means eating poop. Wait, wait, wait, wait! Before you say I've lost my mind: 1. You can't lose something you never had and 2. this is a blunt reality that we all need to face. Dogs eat cat poop. I don't know why and not many do. Little research has been done on this gruesome phenomenon. I can't believe there's no funding out there. Some dogs even eat... dare I say it?... they eat tampons. EWWWWW! Yes ewwwwwwww. Thus the title of this post. Its all like a dog version of Salò, maybe less disturbing. But did you know that dogs aren't the only animals that eat poop? Rodents, gorillas, various insects and Germans digest poop on a regular basis.

Herbivores such as rabbits and rodents do it cause their plant-only diet is hard to digest. Therefore they make two passes to absorb as much nutrition as possible. Kind of like chewing cud, but horrific.

Some Vets believe that Canids (coyotes, foxes and wolves included) do it because "it" contains necessary vitamins produced by intestinal bacteria thats otherwise inaccessible. So they eat poop. Dogs and some other animals also get protein this way. Dogs are particularly fond of cat poop because its high in protein and because they hate us so very much.

Now Weegee aint no fiend! Don't get me wrong, he grazes once in a while and that's what terrible even inspired this all. But believe me, I've known men who were much worse.*

Nothing today that I've noticed. But today was asked to retroactively mention the $165 dollar Ray Ban sunglasses that were eaten this past fall. That did not belong to me. That were a gift. That said person had for only a week. I will say though, in me and Weegee's defense, that aforementioned glasses were absentmindedly left in quite ripe dog eating range. Not so fair and square however. Sorry again and I love you!
