Yorkie Turns Into Mummy in Illinois!
In Ancient Egypt- the mummification process was a technical and sacred ritual- done to preserve the body --but in Illinois- apparently someone accidentally did the same thing - without trying."My dad was in the crawlspace of my brother's house here and he was doing some electrical work and found it underneath in the crawlspace," Sara Supancic said.
It used to be Jasper- a Yorkshire terrier- that went missing in 1976. Now it's a mummy. So how did Jasper go from a dog to a mummified mutt? "Because in the crawlspace it's a cool dry area and there is no bacteria, no fungus, no bugs or anything to help decompose it, so basically it just kind of dried up and preserved how it is," Supancic said.
Supancic's brother checked the neighborhood and found out the former owners live next door. Obviously, they didn't want Jasper back, so Supancic had another idea. "I'm going to take it back to my classroom- show it to my students- have it on display because it's a one of a kind find." A find in really good condition considering "I think, especially in Southern Illinois, where it's so humid and we have so many bugs and everything that its just conditions had to be exactly right for this to happen and that's really unusual."
Besides the dog's size. - its smell makes it even more surprising. " It feels like paper mache- or it feels like a wasps nest- its just kind of dry papery- little bit harder than paper maybe.
It sounds kind hollow," Supancic said.

The Problem With Double Teeth in Yorkies....
When I was 6 months old, my daddiestook me to be spayed. At that time, the doctor found
that I had 3 baby that had not fallen out yet and there
were double teeth coming in also. So he removed them.
I am 8 months old - and unfortunately, since that procedure,
I had 4 more teeth come in on top of my
baby teeth that had to removed!
The doctor said, " The golden rule to follow is: There should never be two of the same tooth type occupying the mouth at the same time. By frequently checking your pet’s teeth between the ages of 14 to 24 weeks of age, any double presence of teeth will be detected and can be immediately corrected by a veterinarian. Never wait for the baby tooth to fall out by itself if you see even the slightest protrusion of the adult crown next to it."
And he advised my daddies to start my brushing
my teeth so I grow up with good oral hygeine!
