Bet that dog gets a steak dinner.

Good lord. And....it is used in expensive perfumes? OMG.

If I find some whale vomit, how do I know it is sperm whale vomit? And where do I find the market for it? I have a feeling that I can't sell it on eBay.

Oh well, since I live inland, the chances are slim that I will ever be in the position to worry about all this.

As Ambergris is a substance secreted to surround hard objects in the whale's stomach such as the beaks of squids.

Musk, the glandular secretions from deer is an ingredient of some of the more exotic fragrances.

in expensive perfume, I think I'm going to puke.

her camouflage bandana we'd lost on a walk a few months ago. I was pretty thrilled with that!

They also eat shit and have other nasty habits. Dogs are OK, but I prefer Kittehs.

No self-respecting feline would take a walk (On a leash!) anywhere near water that is obviously trying to leap over the sand and engulf him.

who ever figured out that whale vomit was good for anything.

and especially good for use in perfumes!

But I wonder about a lot of things that are used for something and you wonder who ever came up with that use. Like eating truffles---who was the first to try that!?! Or caviar? And how did they even find saffron and a use for it? I suppose that we are lucky that someone in the past figured this stuff out.

Perhaps this dog found the whale vomit tastier?

I've always wondered how much it went for, and what it looked like.
Weird indeed.

We do beach walking several times a year, and I think I will never look at the things we find with the same eye.

Of course, I'll now probably bring home all sorts of real junk in hopes that it is treasure, lol.

Robin, as Dick Grayson, finds a chunk of ambergris on the beach at Ambergris Bay. That draws the attention of "Louie the Lilac", who wants to monopolize the lilac perfume market in Gotham City.

Like, "I found dat, and my owner is happy. I'm a good dog..."
