Did you know?? A dog’s sense of smell is 10,000 – 100,000 times more acute as that of humans.

    I have a "dog's acute sense of smell" story: While waiting in line at Customs in Washington, D.C., as I entered the country from Europe in May 2013, I saw a little beagle--let's call him Sparky. This was customs--unlike some European trains where you see a dog first and almost reflexively say 'hello' to him. This was United States Customs, so I knew that Sparky was on definitely on the job.

    The Customs Agent led him through the long snake of a line without incident, and even passed right by me. I continued to read my book.
    --But there's no story if this is the end of the affair.

    No, as Sparky and his Staff walk up on the other side of me, all of a sudden he jumped up on my right side, the side where I was carrying my laptop computer case. It was a bit startling, but he was a gentle fellow, obviously having been trained in how to focus his attention on the drugs or other contraband and not attack the person.

    I'd been busted!

    Everyone began to look at me. Standing in line for what seems like an eternity if b-o-r-i-n-g, so my bust absorbed all of the attention in the room.

    Wrapped up in plastic were a few remaining crumbs from a rye-bread sandwich that I had brought with me from Europe and eaten immediately upon leaving the airplane. I could not find a wastebasket, so I tucked the plastic with its bits of bread into my laptop bag. I explained this matter to Sparky's Officer, and she took the sandwich trash and went on her way, with Sparky moving on to check out other passengers.

    I didn't say that this was a _drug_ bust, but it was about as terrifying, i.e., to be stopped, albeit by a cute little dog, and an officer of the law for sandwich remains. --Finish your sandwich and other comestibles on the plane, Everyone....

    Yep. I recently saw a clip on YT with a German Shepherd that had a GoPro strapped to his body. And he sensed his owners coming home a good amount of minutes before they got home.

My Butterfly Project

Image
Hello Readers, This is my butterfly project. I learned a lot about butterflies. This is my report. The Life Cycle of the Butterfly The butterfly life cycle is 4 stages. The first stage is the egg. The mother butterfly lays one egg on each honeysuckle leaf. The honeysuckle leaf will be food for the baby caterpillars to eat. The egg cannot be seen because it is small and it is green like the leaf. The second stage is the caterpillar stage. The caterpillar eggs will hatch in about a week. The baby caterpillars will eat their leaves for food. After each meal they make a cradle of silk and go back to sleep. They grow fatter and fatter and began to burst out of the leaf. When they eat the honeysuckle leaf they will grow strong and become a butterfly. The third stage is the transformation stage. The caterpillar made a bed inside a leaf for the winter. The caterpillar sleeps for six months. The leaves are brown so the other animals do not see them. The fourth stage is the adult. In the spring ...

Math Test

Hello Readers, I have a Math test on Friday, February 13,2009 about congruent, similar figures, symmetry, flip, slide, turn.

Symmetry is a shape that you can fold in half and it looks the same on both sides. Flip is when a shape is flipped. Slide is when a shape moves but does not change shape. Turns is when a shape has a point that moves in any direction.
