Did you see the story about the dog that was rescued by oil rig workers who were working 135 miles off the shore of Thailand?! They spotted him in the water, swimming toward the rig. They speculate that he must have fallen off a fishing boat. They took the dog to shore and left him with a rescue shelter. One of the workers who helped to save him said that if no one claims him, the worker will adopt the dog himself. The dog has aptly been named “Survivor.” I’d be staying off boats in the future if I were him.
Then I found another interesting piece of research. Turns out that men’s beards have more bacteria than dog fur!! Ewwwwww. Remind me never to lick any humans with beards. Said the dog who licks all KINDS of disgusting things... Anyway, I thought this research was a bit odd. I mean, seriously, who thought up the comparison. Turns out it was done as part of research looking at the use of MRI machines by dogs. In many places, dogs need to use human MRI machines in a hospital - because most vet clinics are not equipped with them. So they wanted to see if we canines were basically “clean” enough to use them. They decided we are not a safety hazard. But I don’t want to use one if a guy with a beard uses it before me.
Today is Good Friday. When I heard that, I started to panic as I thought it meant that everybody HAD to be good. That’s a tall order in this house. Instead, I found out it is a solemn holiday for Christians. Thank goodness. Although I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to be good for a day. I’ll try. But no promises.
Have a GOOD one. Peace and paws up
