Kosher. . . Ok I admit that I am no expert on Kosher foods, but I have had some experience with this stuff, hell I lived in New York and if you don't learn a thing about kosher by living in New York, you have apparently been drunk and in the gutter too many times (not that that never happened but only a few time. . .). Of course Kosher foods have to be amongst thoes listed in the Hebrew Bible (there is an extensive list of things that are fit to eat and thoes not fit to eat, but roughly they break down to things that are easily classifiable and thoes that are not. Cloven hooved that chew cud: OK (ie beef) cloven hooved that do not chew cud: bad (ie pork). Also Fish ok lobster bad.) Things also need to be prepared in a certian way. Specific ways of slaughtering and bleeding and all of that. And of course it must be blessed. So I am pretty sure that a Rabbi would not be able to make pork or lobster kosher, but milk probably. And Kate perhaps if you were slaughtered and bleed appropriately you could be kosher too.
Again this is not my area so if I am wrong on this don't go telling the U of M to kick me out of the program.
As for the lap dog, she dosen't climb up on the lap too often, but it does happen. And when it does it only happens for long enough for my legs to go numb and then I need to get up and she gives me a balefull look and hops down.
