Puppy Versus/Vs. Shampoo Bottle

Dogs Playing Tetherball

spawnflagger says...

ahh, the good old days when dogs used to play outdoors...
now all they want to do is play video games and watch TV.

I hope the first lady's initiative against canine obesity really helps.
SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.

Pedigree Dogs Exposed [BBC Documentary]

Rising Folk Star Taylor Mitchell Killed By Coyotes!

xxovercastxx says...

It's unheard of for an adult to be killed in a coyote attack. Hell, it's practically unheard of for coyotes to attack an adult in the first place.

Coyotes are typically in the 30-40lbs range and hunt in pairs. These are fairly small animals we're talking about. They chase their prey down as a dog or wolf would, so you'll know an attack is coming. If you ever find yourself in this situation don't bother running; you're not fast enough. Face the attacker and line up the hardest kick to the ribs you can manage.

That goes for pretty much any canine. They're very protective of their undersides and nothing will make them reconsider their actions like a hard shot to the gut. They also have difficulty attacking stationary targets as they rely on tripping up larger prey in order to bring it down.

Zooming in on a tooth as close as possible

>> ^ReverendTed:
Automatic upvote because I'm a dentist, but there were a couple of things that stuck out.
Wisdom teeth are notorious for their extremely variable morphology, but my first impression was that this was not a human tooth - possibly a canine molar. (That is, a dog's molar, as opposed to an "eye tooth" molar.) I'm not saying it couldn't be human, but it wasn't my first guess.
I also take issue with the oversimplified description of tooth decay etiology. It's not that decay happens because too much bacteria gets "in the tooth", but bacteria metabolize sugar and produce acid, which dissolves the enamel. Specifically, the acid produced allows demineralization of the hydroxyapatite, leading to weakening and collapse of the crystal structure and cavitation. (Thus, a "cavity".)
You could have all the bacteria in the world in and around your teeth, but if you never gave them any "fermentable carbohydrates" (sugars), you'd never get a cavity. Periodontal disease, maybe.
Yes, my version above is a lot more wordy, but it's summarized as "bacteria use sugar to make acid, which dissolves the enamel."


The video should had showed cavitities zoomed in.

Bill O'Reilly Goes After 'David After Dentist' Video

>> ^rougy:
Incisive, yet canine.
And it lacked the impact of true wisdom.

O'Reilly's amalgam of malpositioned opinion and attempts to occlude the truth missed the cusp of the issue, and the father extracted his revenge by drilling Bill with biting commentary.

(I hope the State Board doesn't visit VideoSift. They might have my license for that.)

Those pooches were having the time of their lives.

I didn't start out wanting to stay with a theme, but I love a challenge and I fear if I stop now, I'll get harped on by the Sifters. They'll all gather around me chanting "llama llama llama" and my character will be brutally reamed in SiftTalk! Hehe, but really, I may stop if it starts to bore me, but for now I'm enjoying it.

I had that video bookmarked for a few weeks and it makes me sad to watch it and hear the llama's terrified death bleats.. I knew it would get a few downvotes, but I really wanted to post it if only as a warning to people who think dogs are cuddly and won't eat their llamas. Heh. That sounds funny. I'm trying not to be facetious about it, but hehe..

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
It was a little interesting, but the sound of the llama got to me, Llama. And as for the canines, well, no. Not a big fan.

You're bringing some real fun to the Sift, and I look forward to seeing how far you can push the camelid theme. They are fascinating family of critter. If you run out will you re-register as a goat or the like?

In reply to this comment by Llama:
I wouldn't expect an upvote from a cat for a video about dogs, anyway.

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
Still, not what I come to the Sift for, so I exercise my downvote privileges. Sorry Llama. I know there are more good llama videos out there.
