Jig Saw Puzzle : Zsa Zsa

I have been playing around with my new re-vamped web site and lost a few of the puzzles I had . . . I should not be left unsupervised!

Talk about dramas; first I remove the puzzle code from the page, then I can not find my log in information to get the code again from Jig Zone, leads to lodging a Support Ticket with Jig Zone, decided to set up a new account (it's was quicker), upload the images to Jig Zone, get the code, paste into the page editor, save page, look at page on the web . . .

DID NOT work :o(

So I thought I'd try the same code here to see if it works.

And it does.

Enjoy the puzzle as they work on the problem with it on my web site.

Xylitol Danger

I received an e-mail from a group today alerting dog owners to be extremely careful with any food products (sugar free chewing gum) using Xylitol. I get lots of stuff like this from various groups and concerned dog owners but before I pass on such information I like to verify that is it true.

YES, this one is true.

Species Specific Feeding

Those who know me will know just how 'obsessed' I am about feeding dogs the type of food their digestive system was designed for and that is NOT commercial food, commercially prepared cooked food, home cooked food, grains or vegetable.

Dogs ARE carnivores.

A dog's digestive system is a highly specialized anatomical structure. To gain an understanding of how it operates and what it requires it helps if you understand how it compares to the other types of digestive systems in the animal kingdom.

Herbivores: (plant eaters) have the longest digestive tract in the mammalian kingdom. Some of them like, cows have multiple stomachs that are used to break down and ferment various plant materials. True herbivores have the ability to digest plant and vegetable cellulose and can rely on plants for complete nutrition. They have flat blunt teeth, which they use to grind cellulose and grain. Their jaws have the ability to move sideways and grind their food. Of course dogs don't fall in this category and their digestive organs were never designed to assimilate or catabolise plant based materials.

Omnivores: (plant and meat eaters) have one stomach and their intestines are shorter than the cow but longer than the dog. They have the ability to digest vegetation but they have enough enzymes and acid in their gut to digest animal protein as well. Their ability to break down cellulose is limited and they need both vegetation and animal protein for complete nutrition. Omnivores have a combination of sharp teeth used for tearing and ripping flesh and flat molars used for grinding grains and plants.

Carnivores: (meat eaters) like the dog has the shortest digestive system in the kingdom of mammals. Their jaws are hinged and contain sharp jagged blade like molars, which allows them to swallow large chunks of meat and gorge themselves. This ability enables dogs to consume a great deal of food and then rest until the next kill. Dogs are direct decedents of the wolf and they require meat protein to stay healthy and vibrant. Dogs do not have the ability to digest or assimilate cellulose and have no real need or craving for grain or vegetable based food.

The dog is a carnivore with a digestive system and process designed to break down and assimilate protein, bones, and fat. Their stomachs have a much higher level of hydrochloric acid to digest and assimilate meat protein.

Many commercial grade dog foods are produced on the premise that a dog's digestion is similar to humans. Because it's cheaper to make dog food with grains and plant materials many times the main ingredient in the dog food is corn, wheat, or some other type of plant-based carbohydrate.

Many veterinarians believe commercial grade dog food is garbage or even poison. Some of them have stated carbohydrates are not required at all for the nutritional need of dogs. It's not hard to understand if you consider a wolf will starve before it will eat corn or any other vegetable. Dogs require a vast array of amino acids that are only found in meat. To feed them vegetable products will only shorten their life and ruin their health.

Top 10 Peeves of a Dog

How funny . . .


'1'
Blaming your farts on me.....

'2'
Yelling at me for barking.
I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG

Taking me for a walk, then
not letting me check stuff out.
Exactly whose walk is this anyway?








'4'
Any trick that involves balancing
food on my nose. Stop it!








'5'
Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons.
Now you know why we chew your stuff

The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw.
You fooled a dog! Whoooo Hoooooooo what

'7'
Taking me to the vet for "the big snip",
then acting surprised when I freak
out every time we go back!






'8'
Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests.
Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.







'9'
Dog sweaters. Hello ???
Haven't you noticed the fur?



'10'
How you act disgusted when I lick myself.
Look, we both know the truth. You're just jealous.







Now lay off me on some of these things.

We both know who's boss here!

You don't see me picking up your poop do you?

The Meaty Bites Diet

I've got 2 dogs.

I bought a large bag of Meaty Bites at Big W and was standing in line at the check-out.

A woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

On impulse, I told  her that no, I was starting The Meaty Bites Diet  again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 25 kgs before I woke in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Meaty Bites and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry & that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.

I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her.

Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition because I had been poisoned by the food. I told her no, it was because I'd been sitting in the middle of the road licking my dick and a car hit me.

I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard as he staggered out the door.

What was she thinking . . . why else would I buy dog food. 

p.s. the above was the funniest e-mail I've received in a long time, just had to share it with you.
