I'm not so hooked on the pants thing myself..
But I am doing my own informal poll..
IF your dog were to wear pants, would it be with 2 legs or 4 legs?

| | First Nation's Clay Kills Antibiotic-resistant Bacteria
Clay from Kisameet Bay, B.C., used by B.C. First Nations for centuries for its healing properties could be a new weapon in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, says new research from the University of British Columbia.
The research, published today in the American Society for Microbiology's mBio journal, recommends the rare mineral clay be studied as a treatment for serious infections caused by the so-called ESKAPE pathogens — Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus (also known as MRSA when it becomes resistant to antibiotics), Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species — which cause the majority of U.S. hospital infections and "escape" the effects of antibacterial drugs.
"Infections caused by ESKAPE bacteria are essentially untreatable and contribute to increasing mortality in hospitals," said co-author Julian Davies in a written statement.
"After 50 years of overusing and misusing antibiotics, ancient medicinals and other natural mineral-based agents may provide new weapons in the battle against multi drug-resistant pathogens."
The 400 million kilogram clay deposit is on Heiltsuk First Nation traditional territory near Bella Bella on B.C.'s Central Coast.
UBC says the clay has been used to treat conditions like ulcerative colitis, duodenal ulcer, arthritis, neuritis, phlebitis, skin irritation and burns.
When suspended in water, the clay killed 16 strains of ESKAPE bacteria samples from nearby hospitals and waste treatment facilities.
The next stage in clinical evaluation involves detailed clinical studies and toxicity testing.

P.S. This is promising news- especially now.
Each year in the United States, at least 2 million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and at least 23,000 people die each year as a direct result of these infections.
P.P.S Clearly alternative care has MUCH to offer..IF you have yet to provide any of this to your dog or cat, I suggest my Getting Started KitIt will get you going for $8 Canadian...which I think in today's currency is about $1 American :-)
P.P.P.S. I asked my daughter and son.. they BOTH say 2..
Then I reflected on my big dog Lewis who is getting sooo muddy walking around, then muddying up my office..4 legged pants would solve that problem..
But now we are tied at 300 votes for 2 legs and 300 votes for 4 legs
Help BREAK the TIE here..
