Special - Free Rattlesnake Bites at Wal-Mart

Sorry for the blog post outage over the past three days but I was on holiday this past weekend. That makes me sound European doesn’t it…you know, the on holiday part, but I’m really not.  But, did you know that holiday means different things to different people? It sure does.  For instance, my parents think it means to go away to the east coast, visit friends and go boating all day.

For my sister Copper, my new brother Logan and me holiday means spending quality time holed up in a large cage at our veterinarians. So while my parents eat, drink and dance the night away, I get to smell Copper’s anal vapor and watch Logan submissively pee over half the cage. If that doesn’t sound like much of a holiday, you’re right.

That’s why it’s good to be back at the keyboard bringing you the latest and greatest animal related news. So let’s get it going with an animal attacking a human.

Bear-ly Saved

Even I have to admit that it took a honey tree size load of bravery to do what this biologist did.  What did he do? Check this out:

APALACHICOLA, Fla. (CBS) - A Florida Fish and Wildlife biologist pulled off a daring rescue Saturday in the Panhandle: He rescued a bear with his bare hands.

Officials say a 375-pound male black bear was seen roaming a residential neighborhood near Alligator Point, a neighborhood of about 100 homes on a small peninsula about 40 miles south of Tallahassee.

The bear was hit with a tranquilizer dart, but he managed to bolt into the Gulf of Mexico before he was sedated.

Not being smarter than the average bear, this biologist followed him into the water. (more…)

Free to a Good Home - Warrior Kitten

Never say that I don’t look to do my part. An old lady needs help to cross the street, I’ll strap her on my back and carry her across. A family member puts more food than they can finish on their dinner plate, I’ll lick it clean for them. And when a helpless kitty needs a home, I’m there to help. That’s why I’m re-posting this craigslist ad for one of my feline friends.

Ferocious attack kitten is available for adoption to any home willing to accept him.

The opening line certainly sounds inviting but please, tell me more about what this killing machine can do.

Sad Sack

Humans are thoughtless and cruel. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but did you know their thoughtlessness goes back many, many years? Check out this invention by some innovator type from back in the thirties. I like how this article from the June, 1936 issue of Popular Mechanics starts out…

When you take your dog along for a ride, but prefer not having it inside the car…

Canines are so lovable, who wouldn’t want to have them inside the car? Unless, of course, it’s a dog like my sister Copper with her gas issues. The other night, she smoked my father out of the bedroom and onto the couch. She’s potent, and if left inside a car, a potential killer. This sad sack invention takes care of that issue. (more…)

Hang Five

I live in a land locked area so when I see news like this it makes me jealous. While I get to trek up mountains, carrying my owners lunch and drink on my back, these dogs get to go out and surf. Yeah, that’s right, surf.

This year was the 3rd Annual Loews Coronado Bay Resort Surf Dog Competition at Imperial Beach in California.

These canines bring a whole new meaning to the term sea dog.

In cool shades, t-shirts and Hawaiian shirts these mutts know how to ride on the crest of a wave.

Despite some ruff conditions about 60 brave four-legged competitors took part in America’s largest surfing competition for dogs.

If you consider standing still on a board, getting wild applause for doing it and receiving treats in the end ruff conditions, then yeah, I guess the conditions were kind of tough out there. (more…)
