Dogs Can Be Gross
What they do is not necessarily appealing to us

She's cute, little, white and fluffy ... and for awhile was into eating her own feces. Fortunately she's pretty well grown out of it, but every once in awhile she still surprises me...

I have a poop eater right now. There is nothing I can do to stop him so I just try to pick up before he gets to it. Since I have two other dogs I have to be on high alert at all times but I do have a very clean yard!

I was playing fetch with my dog at the park. Instead of bringing her ball back to me, she proudly trotted back with a dead squirrel in her mouth. (PS- She did not kill it, just a lucky find on her part.)

As I sat at the computer desk a dog I baby-sat surprised me when she came up and dropped on the floor out of her mouth . . . her poop. She went in the other room, but decided to bring it to the office. How nice, thank you =)

My dalmatian can sometimes fart like there is no tomorrow. sometimes i lock her in a room while I study, and opening that door is NO KIND OF FUN. She also once caught a rat and pranced happily to the backyard with it. We also had a pooproller poodle, who thought it was very entertaining to find poop on a walk and roll on it (luckily he though the ones in our backyard not worthy of attention). Once he rolled on a long dead bird in the park, we actually drew lots to see who bathed him. (I did, btw, I've never had to bathe such a stinky dog).

Oh my goodness, where to begin? Well, my dad's dog is aptly nicknamed (of his many nicknames) "Poo-poo on patio dog." Why? Because not only does he do a poo-poo on the patio when my dad is out of town but because he enjoys "recycling" his poop when left in the backyard with it. Often times little bits of his recycled poop end up on the patio as well alerting us to his bad habit.

The one thing you learn in this house is...don't let the dog kiss you! My JRT Spudz poops and turns around and eats it and hovers around the other dogs to get at theirs too. I can't even get to him fast enough to clean it up.

My dog has a serious bathroom garbage issue.... I've had to take to keeping the garbage can on the back of the toilet. She will also occassionally steal underwear out of the laundry basket, and if I dont catch her, she will chew out the crotch. I've lost more underwear to the dog than socks to the washer ;)

I have horses, so my three dogs chow down on horse poop every day. They also like the parings of the horse hoof that the farrier leaves after trimming the feet. I don't even pay attention to these habits anymore except when every now and then, they are smacking their lips in pleasure. Ick.
My labbish dog Jeep has killed and eaten squirrels, doves, moles, voles, chipmunks, baby turkey, bunnies. He once killed a day-old fawn and proudly brought it to me. THAT was painful. But I do believe Jeep could survive in the woods by himself. (He also chased a bear! but that's another story.)
BTW, we live in deep woods, a mile from a paved road. He's a lucky dog, rarely leashed.
I have a dog that eats the cotton crotch out of my panties! When I do the wash, and start folding, there they are with holes or tears all in the crotch! GROSS!!!
This is really gross...
One time I was wiping, you know, after going. My dog ran in and snatched the toilet paper out of my hand and ran away. By the time I found her in another room, she had eaten it.
Like I said, really gross!

I teach riding lessons and have a springer spaniel who goes out to the barn with me. Saturday, I looked up during the middle of teaching a lesson to see my (otherwise wonderful) pup with a dead chipmunk hanging out of his mouth. Fortunately, he knows the command "drop it" and when I screeched it out in horror, he promptly did so. Poor chipmunk was removed from the scene using a pitchfork with my dog looking longingly after it!

I have a poop/anything-disgusting eater, but I think the winner is my friend's father's dog, Roxy. We have a picture we affectionately call "mouse mouth" because all you can see sticking out are two rear legs and a tail from a field mouse...

I also have a poop eater, possibly two poop eaters out of three dogs. I have been giving them pineapple chunks because it supposed to make the poop less appealing to the eater. Pumpkin puree works too.

Eats poop; chews on toe nails (leaving them throughout the house); tampon applicators; licks privates all the time -- what a lady she is!
After walking my Malamute three miles on a warm morning, I slipped off my socks to put my feet up. Before my sock could even hit the laundry basket, it was in his mouth. As I was reaching for my "trade" cookie - I watched the dog HOOVER an ankle sock in like two seconds as if it was a piece of spaghetti - sweat and all. It's sad when the vet techs know you by name because your dog has a pension for all things gross and bite-sized.

Why is it even a consideration that our fur babies would eat their own vomit. Screaming "NOO!!" while waving your arms around wildly trying to keep the other dogs away till you can get the paper towel and a bag is pointless. They are in such a rush to get it back down. Bllaaaa.

my dogs go to central park everyday. it is off leash before 9am, so they love to explore. they have played tug of war with a dead raccoon skull, one rolled inside a dead canadian goose carcass, but it gets worse. people poop in the woods, namely hobos and.joggers. I've seen and yelled at joggers dropping trou in the.woods. my dogs LOVE to roll in human poop. ugggggghh.
If my dog vomits, she quickly devours it before I can clean it up. Sometimes I only am aware she did it because I see a slimy wet spot on the floor. So gross!

My aussie was almsot throwing herself in the air with glee when rolling in something at the dog park last year, and having read how much dogs love this I thought I'd let her have a bit of fun....until she kept rolling. I hustled over and found I'd made a huge mistake: she'd found a dead skunk to roll in, it'd been there long enough that it was grey so I mistook it for a squirrel until I was hit by the smell. Fastest drive home from the dog park ever, thank goodness regular doggy shampoo got it out!

While on a girl's and their dogs weekend, a friend's dog ate a used tampon from the garbage. The next morning, the other dog pooped the tampon out, at which point my dog started chewing on it and running through the yard. My friend noticed and started chasing my dog. From where I stood, all i could see was what looked like a tail. I shouted to my friend "is that a mouse?" and she said "I think it's worse." She was right.

I was walking with my dog Sunny in Sibley East Bay Regional Park and she came running up to me after rolling in a very fresh cow pie. She was covered in bright, shiny green goo up one shoulder, all over her collar and covering half of her face. She was very proud! Driving home with her was very smelly (luckily I crate her) and I could barely get the green color out of her fur even after a warm bath. Yuk!

We just this moment got back from a walk where my Border Collie mix, Molly, attempted to roll in what may or may not have been bird guts. I've learned to tug the leash a little to pull her away from the goo and then let her roll til her heart's content :)

when my dog Moon was a puppy he loved to eat worms off the sidewalk after a heavy rain. Understand that I hate worms more than anything. I don't mind spiders or snakes.....I hate worms. So Moon ate some worms and then came inside and threw up, mixed in with the vomit was a live wriggling earthworm. I had to clean it up, trying my hardest to not get sick myself. It still makes me sick to think about it!!!!

We are lucky enough to live in a peaceful household inhabited by a cat, our dog and a pair of free-range house rabbits. The dog, a hound, defies breed expectations with the other three ... but, let's face it. Rabbit poops are doggy M&Ms, and Sadie is thrilled to have 2 dispensers of her very own. We, on the other hand, are thrilled to have a shop vac.
Poop eaters are the worse to me... So the Adolf's meat tenderizer goes on the food and is stopping it. There is also some stuff you can get that is just for that but expensive if you have a large dog. A friend said Pineapple has the same enzymes too so it is suppose to help...

Ooh, it's so fun to read all these disgusting habits. What a tribute to dogs' wonderful qualities that we love them so much anyway!
To add to the grossness, my first son was one of those babies who threw up at least once every time he nursed until he was about six months old. We used to call him our little Mount Vesuvius because it was like living with an active volcano. After one particularly big "eruption," my husband calmly asked, "Do you want to shower first or should I?" Our dog happily cleaned up the mess on the floor and walls while we were busy coping with what had happened to us and to the baby. Yuck.
By the way, I'm surprised not to see more comments about dogs treating the litter box like an all-you-can-eat buffet. It seems pretty common.

My Cavalier King Charles, Lance was less than a prince when he rolled in a broken, rotten turtle egg! I tried to keep him from it with no success. Afterwards, he came running to me with such excitement and pride on his face! Little did he know that his joy was so short lived and that he had a manditory bath in his future!

My dog, Holly, likes to dig my used pads out of the trash. Even more embarrassingly, she once got a used condom. It might not be so bad if I weren't living with my parents. Luckily, I picked it up before they saw it. The taste for bodily fluids is probably the one disgusting trait dogs have that actually bothers me.

I have a 7mo old Blue nose APBT, he is a panty licker... he will pull dirty underwear out of the laundry basket and when u get out of the shower... the crotch of them are pretty much done for. I was repulsed by that until we went camping last weekend and he came running out of the woods with human poo all over his beautiful white face. :-( so my dog earned the nickname sh*tface. That's as bad as having the stinky kid in class!

My Dachshund loves to do "room patrol" after kids visit, 'cause he knows there'll be crumbs left over on the floors. But one day, while I was at my laptop, he was sniffing around, and I heard him licking away at something. The "something" was what looked like spilled yogurt...but turned out to be the cat's vomit. Erp.

Rookie paddler claims first gold for Slovakia
Monday 29 July 1996
Martikan's was the first gold for Slovakia, which split from Czechoslovakia three years ago. Slovakia's first medal was won on Thursday when Jozef Gonci took the bronze medal in the free rifle. In April, on the same Ocoee River course in Tennessee, Martikan paddled past Pollert, the reigning world champion, to become the youngest to win a World Cup race.
Martikan had a clean first run of 2min 41 sec, but five others posted better times and he knew he had to take risks on his second run to beat Pollert's time of 2min 31sec. This he did to prevail by 0.14sec.
Stepanka Hilgertova of the Czech Republic won the gold in the women's kayak single slalom. Lynn Simpson, the reigning world champion, washed out in her first run, capsized early and missed four gates. The British paddler managed to put together an excellent second run, but the judges penalised her 50 points for missing a gate.
Simpson appealed against the decision, saying that she had got her head under the pole. After reviewing a videotape of the second run, the judges stuck to their decision and placed her 23rd.

"Gemstones have a beauty unlike anything else because they allow light inside and refract it," explains David Yurman. He is known for his use of brilliant colored gemstones in bold dimensions and unconventional combinations. "Mixing gemstones is a dynamic balance. The possibilities are infinite," Yurman notes.Highlighted in settings of unique artistry, they are infinitely beautiful.
Ancient tile and mosaic work inspired David Yurman to design this modern collection of vivid, original pieces. Each combines different sized and shaped precious gemstones—both faceted and cabochon—set in sterling silver or 18k gold Cable.

YUCK! This has been going on for the last couple nights. Mostly when I lay down at night. I have found that Tums will help before hand...even if I dont have heart burn at the time.

Comments about Contract Killer Fight Life Gi:
Sharp white gi, blue contrast stitching and writing, blue and white patches really stand out. Well made, soft material, yet feels strong, tight stitching, extra row in places it really counts. This gi fits well, no extra bulk, it seems much lighter then it is.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Keck Medicine magazine
Keck News & NotesKeck/USC Dean's Report
Bookmark this page for the latest news, events and links of interest for and about faculty and staff of the Keck School of Medicine.
Newly appointed associate vice president for USC Health Sciences Public Relations and Marketing and senior associate dean of the Keck School of Medicine will provide leadership to help grow and strengthen the visibility and reputation of the entire Keck Medicine enterprise.
Gail Victor Anderson, MD, founding faculty member of the Department of Emergency Medicine at USC and a pioneer in the field, died of complications from pneumonia on Sept. 6, 2014, in Pasadena, California. He was 88.
Treating patients in one of the busiest trauma centers in the nation, the Keck School of Medicine of USC Department of Emergency Medicine residency program has been ranked No. 3 in a top 10 ranking of emergency medicine residency programs in the United States.
For 187 fresh-faced new medical students from the Keck School of Medicine of USC's Class of 2018, the act of putting on a white coat signified the beginning of their lives as health-care professionals. At a ceremony held on Aug. 15, 2014 in the Harry & Celesta Pappas Quad, these students received their white coats from faculty leaders to symbolize the trust placed in them by the public.
Research by Keck Medicine of USC ophthalmology scientists demonstrates that African-Americans bear heavier burden of diabetic macular edema (DME), one of the leading causes of blindness in diabetic patients in the United States.
As part of a multinational, collaborative effort, researchers from Keck Medicine of USC have helped identify more than 100 locations in the human genome associated with the risk of developing schizophrenia. In what is the largest genomic study published on any psychiatric disorder to date, the findings, which are published online in Nature, point to biological mechanisms and pathways that may underlie schizophrenia. These pathways could lead to new approaches to treating the disorder, which has seen little innovation in drug development in more than 60 years.
Highly regarded infectious disease specialist Brad Spellberg, M.D., has been appointed chief medical officer of the Los Angeles County+University of Southern California (LAC+USC) Medical Center and professor of medicine and associate dean for clinical affairs at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, effective July 1.
Molecular microbiologists from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have discovered that mice lacking a specific component of the immune system are completely resistant to sepsis, a potentially fatal complication of infection. The discovery suggests that blocking this immune system component may help reduce inflammation in human autoimmune and hyper-inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Type 2 diabetes.

Hi there! I am AnneMarie of Gen X Quilters and I've whipped up an adorable little Tea Caddy that is not only functional, but a great way to bring a little quilty decor to your kitchen or sun room. This is my first Moda Bake Shop tutorial, and I'm so pleased to share it with you today. Strawberry Fields was a natural selection for this project, the colors are beautiful and make me want to pour out a cup of tea to drink in the morning sun! Won't you join me?
1 charm pack - Strawberry Fields by Fig Tree for Moda
1/3 yard white/cream solid
1 fat quarter (18" x 22") linen in natural
approximately 15" x 23" batting
approximately 15" x 23" muslin
1/4 yard polka dot print for binding and handles
4 - 1/4" eyelets
1. Select 15 charms to be used in the half-square triangles (HSTs) for the front and the back of the caddy. Since these charms will be paired with white in the HSTs, it is best to choose the colors and brights from the charm pack instead of the lights and neutrals.
2. Each 5" charm square should be cut into (4) 2 1/2" squares. Cut all 15 charms to yield (60) 2 1/2" squares.
3. Next cut (4) 2 1/2" strips across the width of the fabric of the white solid. Each 2 1/2" strip will then be cut into 2 1/2" squares. You will need (60) 2 1/2" squares of white solid.
4. Mark a diagonal line across all 60 white solid squares on the wrong side of the fabric. This is your sewing line.
7. Choose 30 HST units to be used for the front of the caddy. Layout your HSTs in 5 rows, with 6 HSTs in each row.
8. Sew HST units together one row at a time.
9. Then join the rows together to complete the caddy front. Repeat steps 7-9 for the back of the caddy with the remaining 30 HSTs.
10. Sew the front and back pieces together, making sure to sew the bottom edge of the front to the bottom edge of the back. This will ensure that when you fold the caddy in half, both sets of HSTs will be right side up when the caddy is closed for storage.
11. Cut the batting and muslin slightly larger than the quilt top (caddy front and back sewn together) - approximately 15" x 23". Layer the muslin on the bottom, then the batting, and then the quilt top to create your quilt sandwich and baste.
One adorable tea caddy to impress your guests! The caddy measures approximately 21 1/2" x 12 1/2". Each pocket fits 1-3 tea bags, so this would nicely display some of the sampler packs. Hope you enjoy this project!

Operation Booty Shrink allows me around 400 calories per mini meal, so I allowed myself 1.5 cups of the creamy goodness. I am finding portion control is getting easier, especially if I eat out of smaller bowls.
I've been hitting the reduced produce bin at my grocery store around 3 times a week. Lately, they have had an abundance of pears, which I scored for $.79/lb. They needed to be used pretty much immediately, so I created a delicious Wheat Free ( and gluten free if you use gluten free oats ) Sugar Free 5 Spice Pear Ginger Muffin. I had some leftover batter, so I used it to top off a healthy Pear Crumble.
Muffins are great because they provide immediate portion control, but I'll be honest. This recipe works better as a bread baked in a 9 by 13 pan for 25 minutes. If you make muffins with it, don't put them in muffin paper. They will stick. I would use a non-stick muffin pan that has been wiped with a bit of oil on a paper towel.
5 Spice Pear Ginger Muffins
- 2 pears, diced
- 1.5 T chopped fresh ginger
- 1/2 t Kal stevia powder
- 1 T cinnamon
- scant 1/2 t 5 spice powder
- 1/4 t salt
- 3 T olive oil
- 1 T balsamic vinegar
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 3 T psyllium husk or flax meal
- 1.5 c non-dairy milk of choice ( I used my leftover banananog )
- 1 C old fashioned oats
- 3/4 c Bob's All Purpose GF Baking Mix
- 2 t baking powder
- 1/2 t baking soda
- Mix everything together very very well in the order listed.
- Scoop into prepared muffin pans ( around 1/4 c per scoop)
- Bake for 30 minutes
- Let muffins cool for an hour before eating
- If you are making these as squares bake in a 9 by 13 pan for 25 minutes
I've been wanting to make a healthier crumble/crisp, so I'm really glad I gave this a try. It pays to experiment! I see many more versions of this in the future. Paired with some cultured almond cream, soy yogurt or ice cream could take it in either a breakfast or dessert direction. I think adding some chopped nuts or seeds would be great too. Toasted sesame seeds would be a fun flavor combo here.
What are your favorite flavors when it comes to crisps and crumbles?

Tips for Hiking with Small Dogs
Short Legs Hit the Trail

My two little ones (Cairn Terrier and Miniature Schnauzer) hike with me every weekend too, and we get the same sort of reaction that you do. Ie, "How on earth did those short little legs get to the top of this mountain?" - to which my answer is always "Very easily! Plus they are ready to turn round and do it again at the end of the hike!" And you are so right, people always automatically assume that dogs that hike are boy dogs!! Whereas mine, like yours, are both girls. And my backpack is invariably full of their stuff, ie lots and lots of water, treats, water bowl, towels and an assortment of balls/toys.
And you raise 2 very good points indeed, ie keep a close eye on your small dog - they all think they are big dogs trapped in small dog bodies and will keep going and going, even when they are tired, so we have to be the ones to watch out for them. And the second is picking up after your dog - how many times have we unwittingly stepped on poop whilst out hiking on a sunny Sunday afternoon?
So, get out there with your little ones this weekend!

Soo good to see other small dog out there!! I take my dog with me on every hike I go! He is a 6 yr old Chihuahua and he has the best time, while he was young I always treated him like he was able to do anything and everything he sometimes really suprises me on just how much he can do! I even plan on taking him to hike the Appalachian trails in ct with me for a few days. I have a blog for him too!! it's http://jenanddog.blogspot.com

I know exactly what you mean! I hike all of the time with my two miniature Dachshunds and get a million comments to the effect of "poor little dog with those short legs" or "How can that little dog make it all the way up there". I have just stopped explaining that my two weiner dogs can out hike me any day. They are real go getters - up and over logs and literally pulling me up the trail (which I benefit from in some spots. Ha, ha). It's what they are bred for.
I have gotten so many suprised looks and comments that I decided to start a blog about our hiking adventures called http://www.YouDidWhatWithYourWeiner.com. We share our stories as well as tips for hiking and excercising with your dog. I even started a local club for Doxie owners to help them get out more called the Adventureweiner Club of Seattle.
I was delighted to find your article that is not only about hiking with your small dog but specifically about hiking with your mini Dachshund. Small dogs unite!

My 15lb Lhasa and 13lb Chihuahua absolutely love hiking. They can do 8 miles no problem, and they sure sleep well afterwards.

Over here at Alpine Canine in Missoula, MT we run a Seniors and squirts group hike. Our 2hr hike lets the smaller dogs (from <5lb Yorkipoos) enjoy group hikes and socialization opportunities just like big dogs!

I hike with my chihuahua (who weighs about 5 pounds) all the time..of course now that she is nearly 15 our hikes are more like walks in the woods..and I do end up carrying her part of the way. The funniest is when we go with my daughter's dog which is an 85 pound black lab. I have each dog on a differnt leash and people just look, but they love to hike together.

Quick check on some local forums and a few minutes later I was on BRS. People are happy with this product so people like to let others know! It's that good. Quick and easy to setup. Well put together. Packaging was excellent and the instructions are even printed in colour! It's producing great water for my tank and I'm recommending it to anyone. Works great By Michael on 2/2/2012 Michael would recommend this product to a friend Just unpacked it today and was happy to see it was almost fully assembled -- just had to push blue outlet tube from RO/Pre filters into RO filter and attach faucet connection, and I was in business. Before and after TDS meter is great. Gives you peace of mind knowing that the output is 0 TDS. It comes with auto shut off valve already installed and I'll be using that feature once the float valve arrives. Couldn't be happier with product. Thumbs UP By bryan on 2/1/2012 bryan would recommend this product to a friend This setup is awesome. For the price u cant go wrong at all. Just the extra parts they give you for connections are worth a good penny elsewhere. Awesome product As advertised By Steven on 2/1/2012 Steven would recommend this product to a friend You guys at BRS made this easy to understand. My system is working well and the family likes the drinking water kit I added. Lots of waste water By ROY on 1/29/2012 ROY wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I'm only getting about 35 gallons per day, and wasting about 200-300 gallons. Not very efficient... And I'm directly hooked to the garden hose at 38psi... I guess you need to buy the additional upgrade, and ask the city to crank up your water pressure...However, I am getting 0.0 TDS Great RODI Unit! By JOEL on 1/29/2012 JOEL would recommend this product to a friend After a ton of research on which RODI unit to purchase, BRS 5 Stage seemed to be the most popular in the industry. I have no complaints at all on the unit and BRS has a wide array of add-ons and they have made it easy to replace filters from their site. this works grewat By wesjdm on 1/25/2012 wesjdm would recommend this product to a friend I love this ro/di unit, all together its a great price, i did the math and added everything together and it costed more than just buying the + unit. well worth my money and no more running to the aquarium store to get watter when i can now just go to my lawndry room and get it from my unit. comes with more things then youd even need too. Excellent Quality By Katrina on 1/25/2012 Katrina would recommend this product to a friend I'm a total noob to this hobby, but after doing research and watching BRSTV I came to the conclusion that an RO/DI system was a must. I decided on the 5 stage plus because of all the extras you get, the connectors, the pressure gauge and the TDS meter. The setup is really as easy as they show you in the videos, the only thing that I will say is, if you're planning on attaching it to your faucet check and see what kind of threading yours has. If you watch the video their faucet example has the threaded male end on the actual faucet, mine didn't. Thus I did a few plan changes and hooked it up to my wash machine's connection. I plan on getting a garden hose splitter and using that for a permanent connection, we'll see if it works :) But all in all, great product! going on a few months now By cbellm on 1/23/2012 cbellm would recommend this product to a friend So I am going on a few months now and am still happy with my unit. Started running at 0 TDS and continues to do so. very happy customer best unit there is By Matthew on 1/22/2012 Matthew would recommend this product to a friend I had an ebay unit before this, and it was junk compared to what I got from BRS for almost the same price. They fully assemble the extra stuff like the flush kit, TDS meter, etc. SO worth the extra money! ro/di By tubby on 1/16/2012 tubby would recommend this product to a friend if you're looking for a ro/di unit, i highly recommend get it from brs. no matter what your set up is going to be - the brs team can help you out. called and spoke to a rep and he advised me on what i needed to make clean pure water. my brs unit came with all the bells and whistle and was still cheaper than the other brand name unit. do yourself a favor and order from brs..they know what they're doing Write Your Own Review You're reviewing: BRS 5 Stage PLUS RO/DI System - 75GPD *How do you rate this product? *Would you recommend this product to a friend?

Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber's career is a testament to the power of the Internet and Bieber fever. The pop star, who taught himself to play piano, trumpet and guitar, was raised by single mom who chauffeured him to talent shows and uploaded performance videos on YouTube. It was these covers of Chris Brown, Michael Jackson and Ne-Yo (plus his swoopy hairstyle, adorable baby face and made-for-the-stage presence) that quickly turned him into a viral sensation and caught the attention of manager Scooter Braun and Usher, who signed Bieber to Island Def Jam. His first album, 2009's My World, debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard charts and spawned hit singles "One Time" and "One Less Lonely Girl." His subsequent records and singles (My World 2.0, Believe, "U Smile," "Baby," "Boyfriend," "As Long As You Love Me" and Under The Mistletoe) dominated charts as well. Backed by legions of Beliebers, he toured with Taylor Swift, collaborated with Drake and Nikki Minaj, sung at the White House, was the subject of the documentary Never Say Never and collected too many awards to list (MTV VMAs, American Music Awards, Junos, etc.). At just 18 in 2012, he became the first person to reach 3 billion YouTube views. Millions of hearts broke in 2011 when photos of him kissing Selena Gomez in St. Lucia surfaced. Breakup rumors are constant especially after a woman claimed he fathered her child. (DNA tests proved he hadn't.) In late 2012, things supposedly ended but the twosome never officially confirmed and their PDA-filled outings continued.

"The only risk factor for recurrent gestational vascular complications in subsequent pregnancy was a long time interval between two pregnancies, with an increased risk in case of delay beyond 26 months."
Oh look, there's the two-year window again! So the idea is this: the remodeling of the spiral arteries persists to some degree postpartum, and that remodeling makes implantation of subsequent placentas easier. This seems (anecdotally, and in several small studies like this one) to reduce risk of PE/HELLP and other placental bed disorders.

I've never heard of the Keller Youth Association before Wednesday and I didn't even know where it was on the map. Now I know it's in Texas and now I wish every Youth Association in the country was more like them. The league and it's board made the decision to do away with awarding trophies to every kid who plays. What a novel concept. I couldn't agree with this decision more than I do. Somewhere along the way, for a reason I cannot comprehend, youth leagues around the country and right here in metro Detroit have adopted the idea that "every kid should get a trophy" "there are no losers, everybody wins." Some league's don't even keep score! I think that type of mindset is a major reason why kids feel a sense of entitlement and for the most part, whether this is an unpopular statement or not, are soft. With that type of culture there is no reason to work harder, the drive to succeed next time is nonexistent and it teaches kids is how to become complacent. What in the world are we trying to teach our kids? Is that the message we want to send?
I think lost in all of this, is that learning how to lose, is every bit as important is learning how to win. Sports can serve as the most impactful learning tools for life if the adults in the room would let it. I played a lot of sports when I was a kid, as did most of you who are reading this. Was it so bad to lose a game? Didn't it fuel you to do better next time?
Being on a sports team is no different from being in the classroom and I wish more would think of it like that. Just because a kid shows up to school everyday does that mean he or she should get an "A"? NO. Heaven-forbid a teacher give a kid a "C" these days. I'm sure there are some out there who would fault the teacher for not doing his or her job instead teaching the child that they need to work harder in class. The bottom line is this, every kid should not get an "A" for going to school everyday and every kid should not get a trophy for showing up to a game or practice. Learning how to lose and comeback from failure is every bit as important as what one learns from winning.
