    Had never encountered one of these having always lived in northern areas.  Interesting lookup, some relationship to leprosy, rabies and various other diseases.  Worth a look.

     

    Yes.  The vet and vet tech checked her several times for bite marks but couldn't find any.  We are keeping a close eye on her just the same.

    Forgive this Northerner his ignorance, but I had no idea those critters could be dangerous.

    Hope your dog gets better soon and learns to give them a wider berth.

     

    The armadillo was in HER paddock.  She has every right to defend it, according to her.  When she saw it and barked, it stopped and hissed at her.  She chased it down and it went under the fence to get back out.  I think that's where the damage was incurred.  She tried to get under the fence to get at it and hurt herself.  I understand once it got to the other side of the fence, it turned and hissed at her.  That made her even angrier.  We have to keep a closer eye on creatures that decide to enter that area.

    $6 for a single snack cake ?  Plus shipping and Handling 

     

     think I will pass at that price

    That is for a package of cookies, not just one.  Also, that store is in many major metro areas here in the states.  Check and see if there is one near you.  We happen to have one near us so I snag a package when I'm there.

  4. With Ohtani being injured, it will be interesting to see how the strategy changes.  There is a whole lot of gamesmanship behind what details and how much are going to be divulged.  They may "Say" he's going to play, but will he really...........

    Many times I've been asked to justify why I don't drink.  It's none of their blasted business.  I have stopped going to company after hours functions because I keep getting asked about it.  Accept the answer and just move on.......

    Hard to tax payment for the work as well!!

     

    A little off topic: We are seeing more creative barter or exchanges on a quid pro quo here.

    It's driving the Canada Revenue Agency (The tax people) crazy, trying to figure out how to catch it and tax the exchange.

    I know of a travel agency that had brochures etc. printed.  No $$$$ exchanged, but the shop received two cruise tickets. 

    In other instances, stuff given in exchange, given out in lieu of commissions.

    We think it has to do with a subtle tax revolt. 

    Are you seeing anything similar?? 

     

     

    I have started doing that myself.  I have a friend that needed some patches sewn on their military uniform for a formal event.  Instead of payment, I told him to buy me lunch some day, or pay it forward.  I have a neighbor that bought a couple of new Gi's and asked me to sew on patches for him.  For payment, I asked for a spool of thread to replace the thread I used on his gi.  The tax man doesn't need any more of my hard earned money.
