#1 When I was about 14 I did a chest massage on (what seemed to be) a dead kitten. Worked, too. I didn't learn that in Vietnam, though. I think it was on Medical Center.

No mouths were involved.

#5 "...endorsement of the NAMHLA."

Mercy! That gets my vote for Funniest Line of the Day.

Whoever "groomed" those critters should be put in jail.
Some years ago, my wife took Ros in for his semi-annual trimming (we keep his hair as natural as possible).
The groomers inadvertantly gave him the full shaved poodle treatment, pink claws and all. I was horrified. He looked like a miniature drag queen. He did bag quite a few ground squirrels in that condition, though. Apparently the rodents just didn't take him seriously enough to flee.

#8 AC, poodles were 'groomed' in a similar fashion long ago, when they were hunting-dogs. Easier to find and treat wounds. The injuries healed better too.

Pink claws, well, that's just... metrosexual.

#9 Poodles were originally water retrievers (and more than one famous show line was known to bring in water fowl not all that long ago).

This trim cuts down drag in the water while protecting lungs, heart and kidneys against the cold.

#11 Ok, ok, Pappy and rkb; even I can learn something every day. Poodles that actually engage in waterfowl hunting can be exempt from the Atomic Empire's new anti-poodle-shaving ordinance. Pink claws are still out, purple and plain red too.

#12 Yeah. I mean, I have show dogs (not Poodles, two other breeds but even mine don't have colored nails. Neither do any of the Best in Show poodles who've been top winners in the last [insert number here] years.

Ick.

#13 Poodles, esp the unaltered full-size variety, are killer hunting dogs - the equal of any of the water dogs. The twits who worked so hard to wussify 'em, well, that's just a crime. Great dogs. I thought you'd get a kick out of the Serengeti / skeleton. No matter the outside appearance, they have hunter's hearts!

#14 Oh, almost forgot an on-topic (sorta) picture I located... BTW, AFAIK, it could be a guinea pig - I have no expertise on rodentia other than ferrets... which are a scream! It was long ago, but mine was named Critter and kept the house in a near-riot all the time, not to mention phreaking out both my cat (British Blue) and dog (Weimaraner) - he scared the hell out of both of them, heh.
