Gunns

Latest development in Gunns' lawsuit is interesting.

Gunns are the timber company. I think they're the biggest company in Tasmania. Or might as well be. They're suing about 20 environmentalists/environmental groups because they're hurting the company's business.

Anyway, in the Supreme Judge struck out the company's statement of claim and gave them a month to file a new one.

(rom http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200507/s1416739.htm

"Justice Bongiorno said large parts of the statement of claim were either unintelligible or understandable only after what he said would be the most careful and painstaking analysis.

He said the extensive use of cross-referencing rendered some parts ambiguous at best and at worst misleading.'

Ambiguous at best and at worst misleading? Sounds a bit like certain advertising campaigns.

Dog

Dog is bouncy. Dog is healthy.

Dog really does seem to be able to eat anything with no problem. Although I'm still convinced that's what'll do in her in eventually.

It's second time eating something lead to a vet visit. The first time was as a 12 week old puppy. She was screaming and trying to throw up. Vet found nothing wrong. He gave her a dose of antibiotics and we went home. To find she'd been chewing the bathroom cupboard.

So I moved "her room" to the laundry and she proceeded to reduce the bottom shelf to a pile of dust. She literally ate everything as a puppy. I caught her trying to take a bite out of the brick fireplace one day. She tried to eat the carpet while sitting in the middle of it (bit hard to get a grip on). She had a bit of chew on the computer power cord. Once.

Her tastes had narrowed as an adult, now it's just food, anything that might be food (rubbish) and anything that should be food (fluffy slippers).

All the stories I hear about dogs that get sick through eating more edible stuff and then I look at her... Weird dog
