Anita at Prairie Dreams was tagged by BJ at ~~Sweet Nothings~~to participate in a game. Anita did not “tag” anyone, but left an open invitation for those who with to participate.
So here are the rules:
1) Open the closest book to you, not your favorite or most intellectual book, but the book closest to you at the moment, to page 56.
2) Write out the 5th sentence, as well as two to five sentences following…
Before I post mine, I have to share that I almost fell out of my chair with what I found on pg 56. I actually have 4 books stacked next to my computer–all of them about dog breeding. I had been researching the books for pricing information before listing them on eBay. I picked up the first book and thought, hmmm would this be appropriate to share? I thought, hmmm, I’ll try the second book–no one will know the difference. I found a page with a quote from the book and an illustration…but the chapter heading on the next page didn’t seem too appropriate either– in fact even worse than the first book. Okay, so the third book…OH MY! NO! and the same with the fourth…geez! So here goes…from the first book-
Dog Owner’s Home Veterinary Handbook 3rd Edition, James M. Griffin, M.D. and Lisa D. Carlson, DVM
“Diagnosis is based on clinical signs, a chest X-ray (not always positive), and identification of the eggs or larvae in stools or respiratory secretions.”
“Bronchoscopy ina Filaroides infection may reveal small nodules in the wall of the trachea. Larvae may be seen peeking out of these growths.”
OH LOVELY!
