I really don't know. My spices are few and in the back of a high
up
cupboard. I've checked my make up, drawers everywhere, etc. But
you
never
know. It could be that she brought something in, food maybe, and
spilled
it. It's very odd. Also because it's on all 4 paws equally.

"...all four paws" argues for trotting across a floor being mopped,
Britta.
Which gets us back to some strong detergent, like Spic & Span (and
TSP),
or
a wax stripper (also loaded with TSP). I know, I'm determined ;-)
Cheers,

This makes sense. Also, what about floor wax? Some waxes (especially
those
used for "brick"-design tile) have color in them.

A thought if you happen to have red brick or red tile floors
in the kitchen or on the patio.

Go away, Jette, you can't play. You peeked at the answer ;-)

Did not!

The "update" threw that part of the thread onto a completely
different section of my reader, way way down the screen and
I didn't get to it till much later.

" Hi Jack! Do I detect the presence of a debater? G While you
are
probably correct that food would have been removed, there are some
foods
that can stain skin and hair, and while the food is removed the
stain is
not. Beets, for instance, leave a stain long after the beet is
gone. Also, the fact that the skin was discolored does not mean that
it
was
irritated. If you have a leaky ball point pen in your pocket and
the
ink leaks through, your skin will be stained. The stain will last
for a
few days. There is no irritation - just a change of color.

Of course you know by now this is all academic, and it turns out we
were
both wrong. I, too, have enjoyed the discussion.

Joy, mea culpa! I am absolutely terrible about rising to the bait.
Yes, after I went through this exercise, I scrolled down a bit and
discovered I should have done so sooner. However, I'll have your know
I've
suffered greater embarrassments, so there!
Actually, the real answer is a perfect solution for both of us ;-)
Sadly, however, it deep sixes my plot to spend the winter in Thailand,
at
Britta's expense. Say, Southern California might be a nice place to
winter.
Do you have a guest room?
Cheers,
Jack
BTW, I follow your accounts of Bluebird's situation--well, as much as
I can
take, anyway. Likewise many of the other expressions for lost pets &
buddies others post, I hardly ever comment because it gets to me, but
keep
us posted. She has a lot of sand and I'm pulling for them. --JB

Aha! Not a debater, but a politician. You neatly avoided answering my
question. I'll bet you participated in debate at the high school or
college level, didn't you? I'll bet you could have come up with just as
good arguments for my side of the non-issue as the ones you had for your
side.

I understand what you mean about the depressing posts. I skip a lot of
them too, and sometimes start a response but I'm crying too hard to
finish it.

Joy

No problem, Jean. It doesn't count as butting in when you're agreeing.

Very good, indeed, and thanks for the feedback.
I'll also learn to scroll down on the screen, before I get too caught up
with exercises in logic--but it was fun anyway [really, it was].
Very glad it wasn't anything serious, with the exception of what the
Gecko may have experienced.
How about, for our next adventu what's become of the Gecko? Send money
and I will reluctantly depart these wintery skys and personally come to
your
balmy land to investigate.
Best to you, Vino, and the Gecko
Cheers,
Jack

Unfortunately I haven't been around to check on the gecko. My friend in
Bangkok desperately needed my presence at some "girls nights out" and wine
and cheese tastings while her husband was out of town. I couldn't
disappoint her so had to go off to play for a few days :-)
Now that I am back home (and with *no* plans to leave for the next few
weeks) I will try my best to check on Torquay (the Thai name for that kind
of gecko, but has also become my name for it). I promise to keep you posted
on anything that I find out.

No, I have nothing like that here. Just your average windex, dishsoap,
toilet cleaner and Ajax for the floor. She doesn't bring anything with
her,
guaranteed. It's really weird. Also, Vino is fine, thank goodness. If
he
licked off some strong chemical from all 4 paws, you'd figure he'd be a
pretty sick kitty by now.
Still mystified...

Do they use henna in thailand, maybe the maid used henna on Vino's paws as a
good luck thing.
