Kitten hanging from Xmas tree. Watch out for lights,kittens may hang themselves on them. Warning from Chloe Critchley
"Today was a sad day, after spending the morning out with a friend, I got home to find our little 15 week old kitten had died. Simba (being the mischievous little ginger nugget he was) had climbed the Christmas tree and managed to hang himself from the Christmas lights. I'm posting this on here for people to share and warn their friends and family NOT to leave their pets alone with the Christmas tree and decorations. We only put our tree up last night, and today we wanted to bring it back down again. It's a sight we will never be able to erase from our memories. PLEASE share, so this doesn't happen to anyone else. May you rest with all the wiggling toes, fluffy mice and lazers where ever you are, Simba"

Foxtail grasses can be lethal to dogs @ Dog Heirs
"Foxtails are grasses with seed awns that are extremely dangerous to dogs. Foxtail awns are barbed, razor-sharp needles, designed to burrow into the ground with the seed. However, they can also burrow through a dog's skin and enter soft tissue where they can cause serious injury, infection and death.

Not all foxtails have lethal awns, but grasses such as foxtail barley and foxtail grass have particularly nasty awns. Other kinds of grass, such as Ripgut brome and Canada wild rye, also have potentially dangerous awns.
Like a bullet, a foxtail's torpedo-shaped awns can penetrate any part of a dog's body. The awns most commonly lodge in a dog's nose, ears, underbelly, rear end and paws. Long-haired dogs are particularly susceptible, as the barbed foxtail stays attached to the dog's fur and are difficult to spot in long fur.
Foxtail Barley (hordeum murinum)Once the foxtail awn begins traveling through an animal, they do not break down. A foxtail in a dog's ear can perforate an ear drum. In a paw, it can lacerate the pad and move into the limb. In the nose and mouth, foxtails can eventually migrate towards the lungs.
Muscular movements (or air flow, in the case of nostrils) can cause the foxtails to continue to burrow through soft tissues and organs, causing abscesses and infection that can lead to physical disruption and death.

Cow's uterine prolapse
You see, when cows are repeatdly RAPED and forced to give birth numerous times it can cause a prolapsed uterus. Imagine your uterus coming out of your body;horrific, correct? Just another reason to stop supporting the dairy and meat industry. Shop local, or go vegan.
" Uterine prolapses are one of the few TRUE, emergency- drop- everything -and – come calls that we get in dairy practice. This condition usually occurs in older cows that have already had one or two calves. It can happen in first time mothers, but is not quite as common. Normally prolapses will occur within the first 24 hours after a cow has had a calf. If she has made it through the first 24 hours without any trouble, it is pretty rare that she will prolapse at that point.
For those that have never seen a uterine prolapse, it is when the entire uterus, which I remind you just had an 80+ pound calf inside it, completely inverts and falls outside of the vagina. It is the uterus, inside out, outside the cow. Sometimes the bladder will also come out with it, and in really bad cases, there may be some loops of intestines that also have prolapsed. "

How Dogs see..
"Dogs have binocular vision over about 80 degrees of their visual field, which is enough for good quality binocular vision. This does vary some by breed, with collies probably having a smaller area of binocular vision than a golden retriever due to the placement of the eyes and length of the nose. Dogs have dichromatic vision, meaning they see in only two colors, which might be confusing your colleague. I have a friend who is blind in one eye who can still catch Frisbees pretty well, so I'm not sure that binocular vision is essential for tasks like this but dogs do have binocular vision normally and should have good depth perception"
