Dog’s breakfast

Making balloon dogs is not just for kid’s partys any more. Balloon dog sells for $950,000. Go figure.

If you buy your dog at a pet store, you probably should ask for the paperwork BEFORE you pay for it.  Not later.

Ooops.  German diplomat’s dog bites wife of South Korean fat cat.

Maybe teaching the “retrieve” thing is not such a great idea.  Maybe just stick to “leave it”?  Firecracker or dynamite?

Holsteins gone bad. Man killed by cows while walking dog.  Dog owners talk of the need for breed specific legislation.

The Flintstones were historically accurate!

Paleontologists at the Royal Ontario Museum have uncovered a dog sized dinosaur in Southern Alberta.

The two-legged plant-eater stood no higher than an adult human’s knee and weighed only 40 kilograms, measurements similar to a German shepherd or other large-breed canine.

Wandering the plains of Alberta 85 million years ago, Acrotholus Audeti would have existed at approximately the same time as the Flintstones.  Notice the similarities between the two dinosaurs. No mention of the colour of Acrotholus Audeti.

Most dinosaurs in Canada are in Alberta.  More here.

Criminal needs a frickin’ business plan

Taking a lesson from Dr. Evil (who once tried to hold the world ransom for $1 million) two New Jersey criminals kidnapped a Shih Tzu and demanded $100 ransom!

These wiley criminal masterminds first tried phoning the dog’s insurance company who told them in no uncertain terms that kidnapping was not the right thing to do.  (Probably after they stopped laughing.)

Realizing that if they held the dog much longer they would be losing money, the criminals finally called the owner of the dog.  She happily agreed to meet the perps, give them the money (in unmarked non sequential currency) and get her dog back.

As the criminals ran off they were heard to say, “Why make thousands, when you can make a hundred!”

From here.

Was this an act of dog?

Or just basic science?

A  fire in Santa Rosa, Ca., is being blamed on the sun.  The fire department was called to the house when the home owner noticed smoke coming from the siding on their house.  After the small blaze was entinguished, a hole was left in the siding. The FD engineer recreated the scene and decided that it was the sun refracting off the bowl that started the fire.   No mention if there were any boy scouts in the neighbourhood at the time.
