A: Aglets, the little plastic or metal sleeves at the end of shoelaces, are near impossible to buy nowadays. Plastic aglets are generally molded directly onto the shoelace, while metal aglets need to be crimped onto the shoelace with a press that's carefully matched to both the aglet and the shoelace thickness.
Many species of Capnocytophaga bacteria live in the mouths of dogs and cats. These bacteria do not make dogs or cats sick. Rarely, Capnocytophaga can spread to people through bites, scratches, or close contact from a dog or cat and cause illness. Most people who have contact with a dog or cat do not become sick.
Canine parvovirus is spread by infected dogs-some adult dogs infected with the virus do not get sick; they are just carriers. Infected dogs shed the virus (mainly in their stools and vomit) in massive amounts during the two weeks following exposure, contaminating yards, playgrounds, and other places where dogs frequent.nlike the distemper virus, the parvo virus is not enveloped in fat, which means it is especially hardy in the environment and extremely difficult to eliminate. The virus is also shed in large amount by infected dogs.
