Norwegian mother breastfed puppies A Norwegian woman breastfed a litter of puppies after their mother died giving birth to them. Kine Skiaker, who's 23 and has a three month old baby son, breastfed six of the ten puppies while the other four were given formula milk. She fed the puppies over a weekend until other dogs could be found to feed them naturally. The puppies are rare Canary dogs, a powerful type of mastiff, which are often bred as guard or even fighting dogs. Norwegian daily Aftenposten says Ms Skiaker, of Akershus near Oslo, decided to breastfeed the puppies as she thought they would die without their mother. "I was told not to breastfeed them, but I still did what I felt was right," she told the newspaper. "Puppies should be fed every three hours but I fed them more often than that. Each time I heard a noise I gave them my breast." She fed the puppies, as well as her son Emil, until she and her husband Ivar, with help from a local radio station, managed to find suitable dogs to feed the puppies. The ten puppies are now divided between three dogs but the Skiakers still haven't decided whether to keep any once they've been weaned. ananova.com

But not every tax is approved - Italy rejects pornography tax Italian lawmakers have voted not to impose a heavy tax on pornography. The government had proposed a levy on the manufacture, distribution and sale of pornographic magazines, films and video tapes. But the Chamber of Deputies voted by 250 to 57 not to impose a 25 per cent tax on the material. When Premier Silvio Berlusconi's conservative government announced the proposal last month it sparked a debate among those opposed to such a high levy. Others said the government should ban porn outright and not make money from it. ananova.com

D**n! Let's hope Congress sinks this. And keeps it suck. "If it moves, tax it. If it doesn't move, tax it anyway."
