It just goes to show that money does not imbue class, let alone, common refinements of conduct.


My wife and I have been saying that for decades. And with this new group of rich and super-rich millennials it's never been more apparent than today. Take a look at some of the houses being sold today for middle and upper middle class people. Money certainly doesn't guarantee good taste.

I agree.
I don't have any money to purchase class with.
I am also happy being upper lower class.
At one time I may have been lower middle class.
I really don't care what class I am but I don't want to be a Freshman again.

That might be one interpretation/explanation.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in dogs over the age of 10. WebMD talked to Dave Ruslander, a veterinary oncologist and past president of the Veterinary Cancer Society, about canine cancers.

Q: How common is cancer in dogs, and what are some of the common cancers found in dogs?

A: It has gotten to be pretty common, especially in older dogs. Fifty percent of dogs over the age of 10 develop cancer at some point. We see malignant lymphoma, which is a tumor of the lymph nodes. We see mast cell tumors, which is a form of skin cancer. There are mammary gland tumors, or breast cancer, and soft tissue sarcomas. We also see a fair amount of bone cancer in dogs.

Reference: https://pets.webmd.com/dogs/guide/dogs- ... he-facts#1

Human cancers aren't contagious, but dogs and other animals aren't so lucky.

Reference: https://www.popsci.com/transmissible-cancers-animals

We have to wonder, can contagious dog cancers be transmitted to humans? For that answer, we turn to cancer researcher, Dr. Rufus T. Firefly.

Pretty significant in dogs and why many of the human cancer centers are also affiliated with Vet schools and their therapy centers. Quite a few drugs intended for human get tested in dogs and their success there can either translate to potential human trials.

There are cancers that are viral connected/transmitted, e.g. HPV. Not readily aware of any cross species examples.

I've heard that a big reason for such sickness is that dogs have come to be fed what we eat; thus, what hurts us in foods and from certain foods, the dogs are getting cancer, too.

I've come to believe that. However, several decades ago, during the 70's, I vacationed for entire Summers in Upstate NY, staying with some dear friends on their small farm in Homer. They had what they referred to as " a huntin' dog," medium-sized, white with brown patches, and he took a real intense liking to me, and I to him. You see, I took a part-time job at a local steakhouse to earn some extra cash, and each day, I'd ask the chef to save all the bones and steak trimmings for me to take home to "Sam," which the whole restaurant did for me. When I'd get back to the house after my shift, Sam nearly wiggled his rear-end off with expectation and joy as I'd drive up the driveway to the house. Sometimes, I had nearly an armful of bones and trimmings for him. He lived a very long life. I really liked that dog, which was amazing for me since I am not particularly fond of dogs, even though I take them one-at-a-time, as individuals, and avoid the bullies. :mrgreen:

Does that support the converse conditions then? Is what's good for dogs then a delight for humans?

I'm going to say "bs on that one" My in-laws never feed their dogs factory made kibble. Everything those dogs eat is homemade. They don't feed the dogs frozen tv dinners or fries. All fresh butcher scraps. My mother-in-laws dog eats more chicken bones then you can imagine. Her dogs are 10 and 12. I always thought chicken bones were bad for dogs. Not hers or anybody's in her village.

Next topic. Not seen in print. I see nothing on Yahoo about Pearl Harbor Day. Just drunk Kardashiens and Gene Simmons grabbing women.
I spend entirely too many hours a day tying my shoes
