The poor puppy suffers from limes disease :-(

Veterinarians said it is possible for a newborn puppy's fur to be green because the placenta rubs off at birth.

Uh, what?

This sentence infuriates me.

Also: *rolls eyes at cmonkey*

Also: Wasn't there something a while back about injecting dye into eggs to end up with Easter-colored chicks...?

Item: One Golden Retriever pup. Condition: Mint.

Am I having some kind of weird deja vu or did this happen last year? I think the deer with its head in a halloween bucket is from last year too - perhaps I'm finally going completely insane?

OMG!! GREEN PUPPY!!

Okay, I'm not going insane.

Oh, well. Nevermind, then.

Just because you weren't crazy about this doesn't mean you aren't insane, mgl. Doctors say that it's possible to be correct about one thing, while still being totally fucking nuts, because the placenta sometimes wears off at birth.

I hate it when my golden retriever turns out to be brass.

OK, the LOL-to-comment ratio in this thread is far too high. Fucking minty.

This is certainly possible, because sometimes the placenta wears off at birth.
I should know, I'm a vegetarian.

I should NOT be looking at puppies! Especially way-cool Green Fucking Golden Retrievers!

Ack! Foof! Spitzlosion!

Totally off topic: There is a cute movie at LikeTv, called the boy with green hair.

posted by getoffmylawn 13 November | 16:55

Is his hair green because the placenta wore off? I won't watch is otherwise.

posted by Specklet 13 November | 17:03

Specklet, you slay me!

posted by getoffmylawn 13 November | 18:16

specklet has become complacenta with her green hair movies.
