GUTS!
That's what was all over my patio this morning, thanks to our resident
Hawk. Guts that smelled like month old garbage and I have no idea what they came from, although I suspect another bird of some sort, since I found feathers around the yard. Of course, first thing out this morning, Lucy thought this was part 2 of breakfast, Rudy went for the apples at the back of the yard instead and Franklin showed some interest but was more easily dissuaded than Lucy. I had to scrape the damn stuff off the patio - the hose just wouldn't do it. The incident happened last night, as Rudy came in with breath smelling like that. We didn't know what it was until this morning though (no lights right now, since they were mounted on the deck and we're currently deckless). Ick, ick and double ick. The circle of life can be pretty gross. -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

The dogs have unanimously voted that the circle of life is wonderful, and the problem here is that you didn't send them your address and directions. They are willing to offer their cleanup services to anyone within driving distance, that needs to have entrails removed from decks and patios. Also, there is some talk of having Rudy's dog-license removed. Suja |

OK then - I'll send it privately and they're more than welcome. Would they like the voles who have been "not swimming" in the pool? Also, there is some talk of having Rudy's dog-license removed. Hey - he indulged in some fashion last night! He *LOVES* his apples though. The tree is packed full this year, so he's a very happy boy. I have to limit them though, the sugar send his urine out of whack, and he already has problems with that. -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

Mmmmm.... bloated dead vole perfume. Also, are you SURE you have dogs? He *LOVES* his apples though. Can't remember where I read it, but aren't apple cores bad for them? Pan will eat many fruits (mostly in the melon family), but she won't eat apples. Suja |

Suja I read this a few places too, here's one. http://www.petalia.com.au/templates/...m?story_no=257 Other potential dangers Pear pips, the kernels of plums, peaches and apricots, apple core pips (contain cyanogenic glycosides resulting in cyanide posioning) |

Follow links to more cool chemistry stuff. Of course, you can't trust any of these sources of information. Or can you? Paul, Muttley, and Lucky (resting quietly due to chemicals) |

Actually, he's not allowed unchecked access to apples, but it's because of the farts. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |
