Why?? Who would want to go diving while sitting in their car?! I know they made cars once that swim (forgot the name of them). That makes some sence, but dive?

Well, I guess you just never know when you might want to *drive* to Europe instead of flying !

Just saw that car on TV,too. They say it's going to be over 1 million dollars. Right now there is only one of those cars around and I guess at that price there wont be many more in the future either.....

A nice, relaxing soak

Published Saturday February 16th, 2008

A Laotian mahout bathes his elephant in a river yesterday near Paklay, Laos, following opening ceremonies for the country’s annual Elephant Festival. The event is held to draw attention to the plight of both domestic and wild elephants in Asia. Laos, once known as the land of a million elephants, has seen its numbers dwindle to less than 2,000 domestic and wild elephants combined.

Ouch! That dog that made the mistake of taking on a porcupine reminds me of the same kind of thing happening to my brother's dog decades ago. A little too close and....

I didn't see what it looked like because he was up in Vermont for the event. Same treatment - sedate dog and pull quills which do not come out easily.

The worst I had happen was having a very shaggy dog get skunked. Ugh. Tomato juice does wonders.

I remember watching an episode of The Partridge Family, with that very problem. Skunk versus dog. And tomato juice got rid of the problem. Always wondered if it really worked. I guess it is true.

The newborn lemur looks rather alarmed at finding itself in the world...lol.

Tomato juice helps with skunked dogs but the truth is that when they get wet they smell like skunk again...skunk just has to wear off in time and it takes a while.
Vinegar, white distilled, not cider, is helpful too.

So I guess the bottom line would be, dogs stay clear of skunk.

Oh, definitely dogs stay away from skunk.

The tomato juice made her livable but she had a slight skunk smell for a while after that and her breath smelled like skunk from licking her fur. This was not her finest hour... Was a great dog though.
