If you go to a breeder ask to see the parents pedigree as well as check out the parents and puppies health before purchasing a puppy. If in doubt seek your local vet or dogs trust for more information.

You've, no doubt, heard of the analogy "like water down a rat hole" to describe a waste of time, energy and resources. A fox's lair is much larger than a rat hole. Good luck with that.


How would you tell the difference between a good pet shop and a bad one?

Generally speaking there is no such thing as a good pet shop, because in reallity you have no way of knowing if they are telling you the truth about how they obtain their animals. When in doubt buy from a breeder, unless you are looking for birds or something like that.


How does Socrates use Euthyphro words against him?

Socrates' aim is to sow confusion in the minds of the jurors about the validity of the charge of impiety which Euthyphro is prosecuting against him. In five definitions of impiety (offending the gods) which the discussions hang around, Socrates tries to get him tied up in knots and throw doubt on what the charge is about anyway. It is not a particularly clever approach - Socrates is using devious and dubious word plays to confuse Euthyphro. While this may have been well followed and received by the intelligent and well-educated young men to whom Socrates targeted to deliver his philosophical arguments, he was here trying to pass this off to 500 jurors who were selected randomly by lot from the common people - farmers, tradesmen and workers, who would have been bored stiff, and just waiting to get to the verdict. While this dialogue makes for an interesting display for anyone interested in how to twist and spin an argument, the unimpressed jurors condemned him to death.
