HAIR of the dog.
Vets in Melbourne got a dog
drunk for 48 hours to save his life.
No, it’s not the excuse of
transgressing vet students, but is
in fact, a way to avoid ethylene
glycol poisoning, the Animal
Accident & Emergency clinic said.
In a blog, the clinic said the
chemical was usually found in
radiator and brake fluids and
when ingested, caused kidney
failure; apparently, the only
antidote in Australia was alcohol.
So Charlie the dog was given
successive doses of vodka for 48
hours and returned home safe
and sound, the clinic said.
“In fact for the whole weekend,
Charlie had a huge party with us
in the Pet ICU.”
UNTIL the police do us part.
If you’re thinking of getting
married soon, take note of the
couple whose matrimonial bliss
lasted up until their honeymoon
flight from Atlanta to Costa Rica,
when the groom got in a drunken
argument with his bride.
The aircraft was forced to make
an emergency landing on Grand
Cayman island, and the man was
escorted from the flight, Stuff.
co.nz reported.
His bride very sensibly stayed on
the plane and the man was fined
US$600 for the incident, Reuters
reported.
AH, young love.
An art project with a difference
has proved a hit on YouTube,
wracking up more than 17.5m
views.
‘First Kiss’ films 20 (somehow all
fairly good looking) strangers kiss
for the first time.
Amateur filmmaker Tatia
Pilieva films the couples in
black and white, and shows the
awkward, but really rather sweet,
interactions of the couples before
they kiss.
Comments on YouTube are
so far fairly appreciative, for a
