Kid Owned by Coyote
December 7th, 2008 |CNN posted this video today of a kid’s run-in with a sweet coyote. It was a draw, but I like to think the coyote had the last laugh.
2008 Zoo Trip
October 11th, 2008 |Today we went to the zoo in DC. Here is an incomplete list of animals we saw and my personal feelings on them:
- Pandas – AWESOME
- Lions – sweet
- Tigers – similar to lions
- Anaconda – scary/sweet
- King Cobra – deadly (stay away from these)
- Prairie dog – opposite of (5)
- Elephants – Very large and friendly. These were the Asiatic variety.
- Cow – I felt bad about my lunch
- Orang utan – Me 10,000,000 – 100,000,000 years ago
- HIPPO – wet

Dog dials 911, not his own idea
September 16th, 2008 |This one has been up at one of my anonymous news sources for quite a while now so I felt that I should mention it just for the of completeness. This dog, Buddy–real creative, was trained by his owner to bite a telephone if he (the owner) has a seizure. Well, he did and so he did. YAWN.
Peep the video here if you want
**No images of Buddy were available, so this picture from Wikipedia is the best I could do. It looks a lot like Buddy, though.
Mutt chases bear
August 10th, 2008 |More bear news. I don’t have much to say about this, but I’m just putting here to be complete. Here’s what happened:
- Mom hears dog barking
- Dad finds out dog had chased bear up a tree
- Little kid claims the dog had jumped on the bear and “chewed it”
It’s HIGHLY unlikely the bear would put up with a dog chewing on it. What’s much more likely is the peace-loving bear just wanted to avoid conflict and knew he couldn’t reason with the dog on the ground.

This dog did not need to die
June 15th, 2008 |I’m really sad to report some sad news tonight. Apparently some guy driving a street sweeper in The Bronx ran over the dog pictured below and killed her as her owner still held her leash. Why did this happen? Well, for one, we all know truck drivers hate dogs. I would guess that street sweeper drivers feel the same way. Also, the driver may not have a soul and that would explain a lot.
