I had a dog once who’d I thought was having a heart attack, but it swallowed a piece of twig as it was gasping for air and doing these convulsions. I guessed at it and stuck my finger in his throat and out came the twig. He started wagging his tail in no time.

I have a story about dog heart attacks. Ahem.

My sister-in-law got married in Laie, Hawaii just before New Year's Day. Her in-laws [the Goos]are Chinese, as are many of their neighbors. So every New Year's Eve, the entire neighborhood strings up about a thousand or so 15' strings of firecrackers, and then set them off when the clock strikes midnight. It's like Armageddon, only everyone's cheering.

The Goo's next-door neighbor's dog had died of a heart attack just the year before, when his poor old heart couldn't take another 300,000 rounds of live ammunition. So now Helen gives their stinky, matted, tired old dog Homer a shot of Valium each December 31st so that he can drift through the holiday in a soft, peaceful, pillowy slumber.

My dog did finally die. I miss him.

My dog had a heart attack. He started shaking and then stopped breathing for a minute. I thought he died at that moment:(

I saw this tv show where they build robots that simulate animal bites, like a tiger bite with a lion bite, or Great white sharks etc. They get meat from a building that has lots of dead meat, then they look at the bit marks and shake their heads at how sweet the robots are. Then they take us to some sweet computer graphics doing the same thing. Simulation is what it's all about these days.

I would love to see a bunch of hip nerds take on this little scenario of Josh kicking the lion in the balls.

Simulation of the lion biting Josh, but then of course the simulation of a size 12 1/2 chuch Taylor kicking simulated Lion balls, and then oohing about how deadly it is, how they would hate to be on the other side of that attack as they examine the now injured animal balls. Then another simulation of Josh's jaws clamping down on a simulated robotic lion nose. Truly Josh is the grand victor of this face off, but the lion will come back with a new plan, as the sun sets on the great African Planes, the Lion is still king of this jungle (read like in the voice of Lourne Greene)>

Maybe they have some sort of connection on a purely emotional level. Truly a real life scenario of the Beauty and the Beast folktale. The dicotomy of the Kamodo dragon, gentle with the butterflies, yet hunts and kills a deer in the same hour.

I wonder if the Sharon Stone Husband attack was just an extension of the "...biting the nearest dimwit" komodo hunting strategy?

Slothdog, I am glad I didn't know about the Hogle zoo dragon two years ago. I would have moved. Though, I am curious who they are hiring as zoo keepers. A komodo dragon and parakeets in the butterfly house? I may have to send them a handy guide to identifying butterflies...though I would hate to be the one to break it to him, "Damn, these aren't butterflies either?! Curse you butterflies! I will catch you and put you in my zoo, mark my words!

Actually, the Hogle Zoo had a Komodo Dragon on exhibit in the “butterfly house” a couple years ago. Far more exciting than the parakeets they have in there now.
