I have rescued, on several occasions, ducklings that have done that! They've all been just fine and mom waited around until all were free. Silly ducks.

As the famous professional hunter Peter Capstick said, "The only reason there aren't more reports of man-eating Siamese cats is, they're just not big enough."

I bred 'em for 15 years, and I know. My favorite boy probably would have eaten me LAST.

[AnAmericanMother]

A cat breeder friend had a big Blue Point neuter who taught himself to use the toilet for ALL his elimination needs . . . she thought her little 4 year old daughter was failing to flush and kept chewing her out, until she walked in one day on Kinkajou doing his business.

She figured if he was that smart, she could teach him to flush. She tied a rubber ball on a string to the flush handle.

Only problem was, all her cats enjoyed watching the water swirl down the drain so much her water bill tripled. So she had to take the ball and string off again.

My big Blue Point champion was Kinkajou's half-brother, they were practically twins. We would take my Mack to visit, and the two of them would fall on each other's necks and then patrol the house like a coupla goons and keep all the lady cats and kittens in line.

Since they both were "fixed," it was more like eunuchs patrolling a harem. But they didn't see it that way.

[Lady Jag]

Those boys must have looked beautiful together patrolling the house.

The toilet she uses has a hard to move handle. I'll see if I can make it easier to move before trying the ball & string. What a brilliant idea! Thanks!!

...ooh, whats THAT smell? Gotta dump, Gotta dump, gotta dump...what's that noise? ...get the picture?

Pretty much sums up a dog's philosophy on life:

If you can't eat it or pee on it...have sex with it.

Your story reminds me a bit of two of my dogs. I have a yellow lab and an 11 lb terrier mix.

When I give them treats the lab gulps hers' down while the terrier will run under our square shaped coffee table. The terrier will try his best to horde his treat and continually growl when either the lab or the cat walk by.

The lab finally figured out how to distract the terrier as she goes and gets one of the squeaky toys. She'll start playing with it, making it squeak and shaking it around. Needless to say this gets the terrier interested in playing so he runs out from under the table, the lab drops the toy as soon as he gets close and she takes off for the table. She then proceeds to contort herself enough to where she can reach the treat.

Thanks for the ping!

Beautiful story. That is a good illustration of why I am a vegetarian.

There are many deer wandering around our property and I have seen the does and fawns interacting a lot. They love their children, and care for them with great affection.

Why cause pain to a living creature when I can live just fine without killing animals? Of course, there is a little consciousness in the vegetable kingdom, but not much. And humans have to live, too.
