Thought I'd share their beautiful guilty faces with you guys!

I remember many years ago my parents used to have a piranha in one tank. Our cat would spend hours watching it swim back and forth. One day, when the lid had been carelessly left open, the cat decided it would hook a tasty little morsel out for itself.


The cat walked with a limp for several days after.....
Life is full of questions. Chocolate is the answer.

No pics either but our daughters rottie ate the clear soft plastic tubing on one of my pythons.
I thought he had only shredded it but in fact turned out he ate some of it, since come spring
I couldn't figure out where all this plastic had come from that was all over the lawn.

Our border collie begs for fish food too, silly girl ::).

I'm hoping there's a Dr. or Nurse in the house to correct me, but I believe that Methylene Blue is given to unsuspecting people at college parties to make them pee green ...

This thread is too funny! I am rolling here... hooo
SHARE YOUR PASSION FOR THE HOBBY!

Well I didn't go outside to check if my dogs' pee was green but methylene blue is not metabolised by the body (it goes right through) so it would make sense that your pee would be green...  However, I don't know the amount you would need to ingest for it to show up on the other end....  anyway, you have to be pretty messed up already not to notice that your drink is dark blue lol

This is killing me as well, I remember this when going to college, phew that makes
me feel ancient!
Being a Vet Tech we had loads of fun, that is safe fun ::).

The pics of your pups are so cute, funny that I just received an email joke
showing a pup that had eaten some red lipstick. It was hilarious.
What would we ever do without our furry and scaled friends to give us a chuckle?

Last week my Koda decided he would eat the bag of about a dozen Roma tomatoes I had left on the counter to make a past sauce that night.  I went out for 20 minutes to rent a dvd and he had got onto the counter and had a snack all that was left was the empty, ripped up bag.   >:(
