DailyDirt: Caring For Our Pets
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
People with pets sometimes go a bit overboard when it comes to spoiling their animals. There’s nothing really wrong with that, but non-pet people might question how the treatment of animals can trump the treatment of people. Here are just a few pet-related stories to ponder.
- An organization in New Zealand is teaching dogs how to drive cars. Imagine the traffic problems if someone shouts, “Squirrel!” [url]
- Cats and dogs are training their owners to respond to their wishes, just like human babies do. Can you resist a cat’s solicitation purr? [url]
- The technology for turning departed loved ones (humans) into diamonds has been around for several years, but pet diamondification is where the synthetic diamond memorialization market is heading. A diamond really isn’t forever, but nobody wants to hear about the actual thermodynamic stability of diamonds. [url]

Let me be the first to note that there are no squirrels in New Zealand.

Re: Uhm...
What do dogs in New Zealand chase, then?
Cats are the worst. I remember reading an article that said they’ll tune their “meow” to the same frequency of an infant’s crying (if you have one) so that you’ll pay attention to them.
other dogs, cats, people, sheep, cards, more sheep..
