Sighthounds !!!!!

I found mouse droppings a few days ago so I placed traps yesterday and I caught one in the trap I placed behind my sofa. Now I'm worried that the mice are nesting in my sofa, should I get rid of it? Do you think that's where the mice are nesting, or do you think this mouse just happened to be walking behind the couch when he got caught?

I love gizzards. I personally like to cook them in broth for several hours so they're very tender. I'd like some alternative ways to cook them. What are some traditional gizzard recipes from around the world and across America?

How difficult or annoying is it to deal with an intact cat? I've only had two cats, and both were fixed, and I've heard stories from other people that they're difficult or annoying. Like males spraying all the time and females yowling. Are they always like this, can you prevent it, or are they just fiction????

I'm making pulled pork. I have about an 8 pound bone in pork shoulder.

I'm cooking it at 250 degrees in the oven. In 8 hours will it be tender or tough?

I have an old aquarium that I'd like to turn into a terrarium. I have some fern gametophytes that I'm going to put into the terrarium when I've set it up, but I'd like some more plants but I can't find them.

Where can I buy these plants?

Liverworts

Hornworts

Moss

Lycopodium

Selaginella

I'm not picky about what species of these plants I use, I just want a wide range of non-vascular and lower vascular plants, so any species of the above plants would be great.

Do you know where I can find them?

How do you say "rain" in Arabic?

And how would you say, "of the rain clouds" in Arabic?

It doesn't have to be exact, something close is fine.

Also how would you say "of two rivers."

Thank you

What working titles/competitions (schutzhund, lure coursing, herding, open field coursing)is your breed eligible for?

Do you participate in them?

I was just reading about ferns and read about this so called air fern that doesn't need water or soil. Well the air fern is actually the dried skeleton of a marine animal that has been dyed green and is now dead.

The thing I was curious about is this. If you (as a vegetarian or vegan) bought one of these plants, what would you do if you found out it is a dead animal? That seems like people should advertise it as such, I know I wouldn't want a skeleton of a coral-like animal in a pot, and I'm not even a vegetarian. I think they should at least tell you what you're buying.

So this isn't completely vegan related, but I was just curious.

The phrase is "two rivers."

How do you say "two rivers" in whatever language it is you speak?

I'd like to know how to say it in some African languages (like arabic, tamazight, or tamasheq) but whatever language you know would be helpful.

What are Brahman bulls used for in America? I've seen some places say you can raise them for their meat, but I haven't found much more about it then people just mentioning it. Would they make a good beef cattle, or are they suited for different tasks?

Today in my music class we listened to an example of a soprano voice. Our professor played a clip from what I think she said was an opera by (I think, I could be wrong) Mozart. I wanted to know the name of the opera, one part, the soprano singer wasn't really singing, just making noises.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but if this sounds at all familiar, just post the name and I'll look it up to see if it's the one I want.

Thank you.

I'm always curious about these things, if you have more than one dog you can talk about all of them, or pick just one. I've asked some of these questions before, but some are new, I like to hear from different people.

2. How many dogs have you had?

3. What breeds are they/have they been?

4. Where did you get your dog? (breeder/shelter/rescue)

I have 8 lemons and a lime that I'd like to use up.

Thanks very much.

What is your favorite website about your breed of dog?

For example, if you favorite breed of dog is a Border Collie, which Border Collie website do you like the best.

I'm looking into several cat breeds that I would like to get. I've narrowed my list down to 4 breeds that I like. Oriental Shorthair, Cornish Rex, Russian Blue, and Peterbald. I really like the look of Oriental Shorthair, but I know they are talkative cats. Does anyone own an Oriental or a talkative cat? Are they annoying to live with, or do you get used to it?

What temperature do you like your beef to be cooked to, rare, medium-rare, medium, medium-well, or well?

I prefer rare.

What breed of cat do you own now? Mixed breeds count.

I have a long haired black female.

What breeds have you had experience with in the past?

I have only had one other cat, a short haired brown tabby male.

What breeds do you want?

I would like a Cornish Rex, Russian Blue, or Oriental Shorthair.

Are you interested in showing, or do you show?

Do you show your cats in cat shows?
