If you go down to the woods today… you’d better take someone slower than you

In countries that have bears (or other dangerous animals) and hunting (or in this case vets who shoot bears with tranquilisers) there’s a rule that is probably codified somewhere. Always make sure your hunting buddy runs slower than you. Here’s why (via 22 words).

YouTube Tuesday: Teenage Mutant Cyborg Turtle

Ninja Turtles have all the fun.

I’ve been tracking the story of Simone and her frisky dog. If you haven’t been – then you should. She took him to the vet the other day. The same day we sent our little Rosie to the vet for the first time. I’d never sent an animal to the vet before, but I think it was the most expensive five minutes of my life – and I wasn’t there. We sent her with my in-laws.

The vet told them that we’d already cured said turtle of her fungal infection by the power of betadine. Hooray for us. And then he charged us $50.

This little turtle had significantly greater problems… he lost his legs, so they replaced them with little plastic bits that slide along the floor.
