Spirited Sons - Did You Know. . .

Welcome to My Blog!

Schooling two active boys has never been more... interesting. That's the word I'm looking for! I love my boys! God has given them the blessing of strong, active bodies and minds. We continually pray the first will remain intact, and the second will remain engaged with Him first, and then the school work. You'll meet my sweet sons, both entirely different, but both loving God to the best of their ability in the way He made them. I lovingly refer to them as my Bell Pepper Boy and my Habanero or Hambone. That should say it all! This blog is an eclectic mix. The events, conversations, and the thoughts behind it all will be in here. Every once in a while I'll try to capture something I don't want to forget. I hope you find things you enjoy. Please let me know if you do! Blessings!

Did You Know. . .

Posted in Did You Know. . .

I was asked to consider a weekly "Did You Know..." entry in order to further the wisdom and knowledge of my friends in the Blog Universe. Clearly, none of you have the time to explore some of these precious nuggets of wisdom in your own time. I would hate for you to miss out on some of the sage-like brilliance we've added to our repertoire in this house. And you might, if I didn't share it with you. *very big grin*

I might not have weekly entries, but I'll surely be more generous with our "gems" since they appear to be so enjoyable to you. Remember, a diamond is the toughest gem known to man, used in the finest tooling of the hardest materials. These "Did You Know Diamonds" are generally tooling my heart on a regular basis. *grin*

So, without further ado. . .

Friends, did you KNOW that, should you cut a cat's whiskers, it is dangerous to their navigational abilities. Suddenly, you will find the cat having difficulty simply walking a hallway. However, should you cut a dog's whiskers, there will be absolutely no appreciable difference in the dog's navigation. He will STILL run into walls!

*lol*

Note: Results may vary from canine to canine. The cat will likely inflict pain.
Psssst! Voting continues HERE until midnight.

That is to funny. When my son was about three, he cut one side of our cats whiskers before she escaped. The cat weaved sideways until the whiskers grew back. We wondered what was wrong with her until we figuired it out. Thanks for sharing the nuggets of wisdom.

I'm gonna take your word for it on this one. I have two cats. I'm afraid to get near their teeth with scissors in hand. Trimming claws is enough danger for me!!

This is so funny, Jen. I had a science teacher in high school that loved to tell us stories of her life. Our favorite was when she told about her cat that her brothers cut the whiskers off and it died because it couldn't find it's food! :0

We never really knew how much to believe, but we could always get her to tell this story again and again. LOL
