My apologies moderators as this is not sports related, but with all the bad news from the last 24 hours, I felt the need to share this story that has nothing to do with any of that or sports in general.
My brother had a dog at state. It has the body of a daschund but the face and coat of a golden retreiver. It's a 17in weird looking dog. When he left State he moved to a place not conducive to a dog, so it now lives with my parents. Anyway, just setting the scene a bit.
My dad is sitting on his back porch and notices a giant tick on the side of the dog's belly. He gets the dog in his lap, and starts trying to pull the tick out. The dog is yelping and in obvious pain. My dad starts feeling bad about causing pain, and calls my mom out to help. She gets the plyers and they start trying to pull this tick out again. The dog is really in pain, moaning and yelping so they quit. My mom suggestes getting some scissors and just cut it off, but my dad says, "Hell no. If you leave the head stuck in there, it will cause and infection."
Not being able to take it anymore, my dad tells my mom to take the dog to the vet and have them remove it. She does, and while she is in the waiting room, one of the assistants comes out, and asks her"we can't find a tick on the dog. Would you mind coming back here and showing us where it was?" So my mom goes back, and looks at the dog and says there it is right there. The vet looks at her and says, "uhh, that is not a tick, that is his NIPPLE."
Everyone laughs, and the dog is perfectly fine nowfor any of you peta advocates. I'm just glad they decided against the scissors. And remember, no matter how mad you get over this recruiting ********, at least nobody is trying to rip your nipples off with plyers.
