I just read somewhere that they eat rats in China...If you could gather them all up, there has to be a market there?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I'll probably mix up some hot mash for my birds. I made about two dozen worth of scrambled eggs for them yesterday and mixed cracked corn with it to get them through the night. I'll probably do the same thing with their mash tonight. Luckily tomorrow night it's only going to be down into the 20's much easier to tolerate for everyone.

I've eaten rat. Not bad at all.

My husband's eaten guinea pig.....My most exotic dishes that I've consumed are eel and mountain oysters. Don't know if I could do rat but guinea pig, sure why not.

Have wondered this many times over 23 years with dogs.
Stepped on a sharp stick was my usual conclusion....or for older creaky dogs, 'over-did' it.

The biggest mystery with my current dog was a few years ago. He came in after an all-nighter outside with a big laceration in the space between his hind leg and torso. Vet couldn’t stitch it, so we just had to let it heal. He’s still touchy about that spot, but not like he used to be.

I'll bet he cut it on wire, Bobbi.

Our first Cattle Dog, Dingo, would chew his way through standard fence wire. He could cut through the wire like a pair of metal sheers with his incisors. One day he came in the house before we went to work and jumped on the bed were I began to notice blood on a pillow case. No injuries for us and since Ding was on the bed, I started checking him over. Couldn't find anything. I took his head in my hands and when I did, my left index finger fell into a hole in his cheek. He had tried to chew the fence and what we could tell, stuck his head through the how, catching his cheek on the wire and tearing a two inch long 1 inch deep laceration. The vet called us and was laughing his head off. He told us that we had one of the toughest dogs he had ever worked with. He said we wouldn't believe the amount of tranquilizer that they had to give him to relax enough to get stitched up. Then I reminded him that the same dog had chewed through heavy gauge field fencing.

Could your boy have tried to get through barbed wire and caught himself of one of the barbs?

I got some copper fit gloves today for $5.99!

Oooo I saw those on TV....let us know if they are for real......you have hand pain?

How often do you do this aart?

The Sav-a-chick? Once a week or so during extreme temps, both hot and cold.

Bet he ran past a sharp stick. Rascal cut his side open once....I walked his woods trail and that jagged 2" broken branch poked me pretty good.

I had a poodle/standard schnauzer mix who got pushed into a cattle panel while running with the other dogs and caught her leg on one of the sharp edges. Completely denuded her leg like an unraveled sock. The skin was hanging down around her ankle, exposing muscle and tendons. The vet got used to stitching our klutzy dogs up.
