This is quite fascinating — a spider that builds fake decoys of larger spiders to scare off potential predators. There have been other decoy-building spiders discovered, but this is the first one to build decoys that even have legs on them. It is likely that this is a new species, though we’ll have to wait for the official verdict. Be sure to see the picture of...
Like playing with boobs?

Now you have a legit reason to do so.
Science has found that compressing the cells in breasts will decrease the chance of malignant cells growing in the tissue. So playing with boobs can help prevent breast cancer. So play with your boobs! Play with your partner’s boobs! It’s healthy!
“Doctors treat humans. Veterinarians treat humanity.”

By Carrie La Jeunesse, DVM, CT, CCFE
November 12, 2012
In workshops, retreats, and CE events where I help others understand compassion fatigue, I commonly hear stories about veterinarians or staff members who are emotionally, physically, spiritually, and cognitively compromised because of compassion fatigue. These are good, considerate, devoted people who did not realize that...

a fitblr
I gained a bunch of weight very quickly over the last two terms and don’t feel as strong or in shape as I usually am so I think I’m going to go ahead and start a fitblr to help me out with losing just a few pounds and also toning up.

the first time i saw a euthanasia
I’m shadowing a vet in Shanghai right now (my parents are expats here, and I’m home with them for the holidays) and today I witnessed my first small animal euthanasia.
