My thanks to the AN World email list for alerting me to the following story (a fuller version is here), which must surely be the greatest in acoustic neuroma history ever:



This story warms me to the very cockles of my heart. It's like a real-life episode of Lassie. I'll even overlook the incorrect use of the term "cancer" in the headline. Look, here's Steve giving Wrigley a well-deserved biscuit:



That's the age-old debate settled, then: dogs are much better than cats. Can your moggy detect life-threatening growths by sniffing your ear or, indeed, your urine? Can it 'eck.


As for me, I won't bother going for any more MRI scans in future. I'll just head down Battersea Dogs Home instead.

the moggy may not able to detect any possible cancer threat and suchlike, but mine knows when i had a bad day at work by putting on her best behaviour. or putting a paw on my lap with a querying look on her face, "mrrreow?"
come to think of it, a dog would probably do same. but the mouser does a great job keeping the flat free of cockroaches and geckos - which are common household pests over here.

You are probably advised to keep away from Battersea Dogs Home.

If my flat was crawling with geckos, the last thing I'd want to do would be get rid of them. It'd be ace. Want to swap, Breanagh?

why not Popzeus, and a year-round of tropical sunshine [i'm in Singapore, in case your wondering] thrown in for good measure but i must warn you that gecko poo could be quite rather hazardous to your health. they poo indiscriminately.
:D

Battersea dogs AND CATS home. Hurrah for mogs. they are better than dogs because when they want a shit they jump into next door's garden and then bury it. You can't even train kids to do that.
