A 14-year-old Oakland Park teenager who went to the beach last Thursday emerged with a nurse shark attached to his abdomen!
How do you get rid of a 3-to 4-foot shark attached to you?–Punch it off, which is what the rescue worker did! The boy was treated at a hospital and released.
I had to have one of my two dogs put down this past weekend, who was a victim of lymphatic cancer that was largely asymptomatic. It was a fast and aggressive cancer that knocked him down quickly. At a routine vet check-up earlier in the summer, he was treated only for allergies and cancer was not detected or treated. The only symptoms discerned less than a week ago were swollen glands in the neck, motor clumsiness, and then failure to eat. The vet gave him less than a week at that time, and was unfortunately on target. The dog within days lost all mobility and weakened quickly due to failure to take nourishment or fluids.
I believe that the lethal injection I allowed the vet to gave him was ultimately more humane than a slow death from dehydration and starvation, but the decision was agonizing to make even though it was the course that I would have chosen for myself had I been the one afflicted…and humans are not allowed to choose this option for themselves.
Rest in peace, dear friend with whom I was privileged to share life for a time…
A teenage Romanian girl who collects spiders may be charged with assault with a deadly weapon after threatening schoolmates with a tarantula! She brought the spider, which she had bought in Romania, to school in a plastic box…
–A guy is riding his lawnmower from Alaska to Rhode Island to collect an inheritance, with his cute little dog riding along on the front of the mower! Why the lawnmower?–He owes a bundle in unpaid traffic fines!–His wife rode with him until she got pregnant.
When the guy gets to Rhode Island, he’s gonna blow up the lawnmower!
–Heh, true story: A guy in Rhode island extorted $20,000 from his mother by kidnapping her cat and holding the animal for ransom! The woman was about 80 years of age.
I’d never do that…I kidnap my mother’s lawn gnome!
The only reason that humans are the dominant life form on this planet is that they’re not afraid of vacuum cleaners!
Last month in Cuero, Texas a woman found roadkill on the road in front of her ranch unlike anything she’s ever seen; a 40-lb. body with big ears, mostly hairless skin, and an elongated muzzle with impressive teeth. The woman is a hunter and has been to Africa, so she’s not naive about animals. Some say it’s an ugly dog or coyote, but she thinks it’s Chupacabra, the mythical creature whose name is Spanish for goat-sucker. The animal, a mammal, may be a cross-breed with some wolf in it. The head of the creature has been preserved by the woman in her freezer pending future study…it’s quite ugly!
Today (Aug. 31st) is the anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, but it’s also the aniversary of Caligula’s birth in 12 A.D.–Why do I meantion the demented Roman Emperor Caligula in a furry blog?–Well, he made his horse a senator…and that senator was never charged with lewd conduct in a public restroom! Caligula also had the sea whipped, and declared himself a god. He was stabbed to death by his own guards after a four year reign, and his last words were supposedly, “I’m still alive…”
I’ve seen my fair share of Tarzan movies, both vintage and more current, and one thing strikes me as exceedingly strange…why was Tarzan portrayed as clean shaven?! — I mean, this guy was raised by apes, he lives off the land, he wears animal hide for a Speedo…and in every film portrayal, he’s got a close shave, usually without even razor stubble showing!– Did Tarzan have a Norelco cordless or a Gillette razor out there in the jungle?–Something just doesn’t make sense here…or was Tarzan a eunich?!
This is cute… PETA and ASPCA in some locations are accepting T-shirts from former fans which originally commemorated confessed pro athlete dogfighter Michael Vick, and are donating the shirts to animal shelters for use as bedding for the animals, or to sweep out the shelters with! Actions sometimes speak louder than words, right?
