cinofobia

Encontrei algumas informações sobre o medo irracional por cães, pois há uma senhora em particular que parece ter um medo completo por cães, até cães que não lhe ligam nenhuma, simplesmente porque têm quatro patas, pêlo, cauda... orelhas... focinho...

Fobias, sintomas e tratamentos

Como combater as fobias

No outro dia, no entanto, dei com um pai, que explicava ao seu filho o que esperar ou não do comportamento canino, o que deveria fazer ao aproximar-se de um cão, e o filho, depois e com mais confiança, veio pedir se podia fazer uma festa, e depois de fazer a minha cadela feliz, continuou no seu caminho, calmo e bastante orgulhoso.

Há pessoas para tudo... para o bem, para o estúpido, para o irracional...

The bug

E, deste minúsculo carro sairam dois adultos e um pequeníssimo Chihuahua branco.

Decided to call it the Bug, for obvious reasons... Are these not ladybugs?

O melhor amigo no escritório

Hoje recebi este artigo que partilho convosco - Manager's best friend - Dogs improve office productivity

Ter um cão no escritório promove coesão entre os colaboradores, e facilita o relacionamento.

Experimente!

Vários estudos mostram que os cães são catalisadores sociais, ajudando os donos a estabelecer melhores amizades, e de maior duração com as outras pessoas.

Agora, novos estudos mostram que estas coesões se podem alargar aos locais de trabalho, quando os cães tomam parte na nossa vida laboral.

Will your dog vouch for you?

A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in Southern Europe, which he planned to visit on his vacation.

He wrote, "I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well groomed and very well behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?"

An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who said, "I've been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I've never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls. I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel, and if your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to stay here, too!"

Excerpts from a Cat 's Daily Diary...

Day 983 of my captivity...

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.

Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.' I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

O Senhor Corvo

Corvos também raciocinam...

Animais e ferramentas...

E há quem diga que eles são irracionais!!!



Mas sabem usar a "ferramenta" certa para completarem a tarefa!

What's in a name...

"Once a king, always a king. But once a knight's enough."
It's a pun on 'knight' and 'night' with innuendo which you can work out yourself!

In this way I explain that although kMiga has a k in her name, her name is pronounced "Miga" as in "Night".

"K" was the initial letter that I intended giving all my animals since I have had a cat called Kits Kat, a bitch called Kelly Girl and now this kMiga Linda.

A kMiga is also the combination of the fact that by being portuguese and female, the joint word "A-Miga" means Friend in portuguese!

"Uma vez rei, sempre rei. Mas uma vez cavaleiro é o suficiente. É um jogo de palavras com 'cavaleiro' e 'noite' ficando a perceber a insinuação que 'uma vez por noite ... " tem!

Desta forma eu explico como o K em kMiga é silencioso como em 'noite'.

"K" foi a letra que me propus dar aos meus animais desde que tive uma gata chamada Kits Kat, uma cadela chamada Kelly Girl (rapariga trabalhadora) e agora esta kMiga Linda.

A kMiga é também a conjunção do facto de ela já ser do sexo feminino, e portanto separo a palavra Amiga em a-miga! que com o K fica A-kMiga!
