in the late 60's, where my dad worked, one guy bought a new VW beetle. the guy was very frugal, and bought the bug mostly for the gas mileage.

every afternoon, when the guy was busy, they would add a coke bottle or two of gas to the bug.

after several weeks of this, they kept asking the guy about his mileage in the bug. the guy would just shake his head and report that he was not able to really even check because the damn thing STILL had over a half tank even though he had been driving it for nearly 3 weeks!

they kept this up for several more weeks (gas was cheap then!)

the guy probably got better than 75MPG for a couple of months! :p

Howdy Ted,
Whichever way it was done (split or cut) if it bleeds you hit the vein. Useing one of the powders is the first thing to do. When you use the powder try to keep the dog from licking it. Then it should heel. We have Blood Stopper made by Anchor Labs. There are others that you can get at most pet supply places. Hope this helps. Tell me how things go.

A former neighbor got a watermelon thrown at some speed through the back of his I think it was a hornet. Tore out the rear window, rear hatch, rear seats, one of the front seats, part of the dash and the front window. What wasn't destroied was laminated with watermelon and seeds. His car was parked at the time

It was pretty funny.....
