Two posts for JJ without uttering a word. And three sheep references. We need to update the TRF stat counters.

1. JJ wordless posts.
2. MPBSR (mean posts between sheep references)

In another post a forum member suggested boiling it.

Ahh, NOT A GOOD IDEA!

Attention all Rolex owners, please the owners manual for proper care instructions before dropping in hot water or you will be !

So what do you do if the pooch swallows it?
