Patrons of a local bar persuaded Pat Dykstra, 51, that she was too drunk to drive home. So … taking responsibility she decided to call 911 from her truck to ask for a sheriff to be sent over to follow her home.
She ended her call to the police dispatcher by explaining how dangerous it was for her to be driving while on the phone!
when the deputies eventually caught up with Dykstra her alcohol reading was .14 which is well over the maximum permitted.
Looks like those concerned bar patrons should have taken away her keys! Luckily she didn’t get into or cause an accident.

Is this a smart of desperate cat? Or both?
My niece has door handles like that at her house and her Labrador Retriever has figured out how to get out a few times! luckily she lives in a quite neighborhood with little chance of her dog getting hit by a car. Still … it’s not good when pets get out unexpectedly is it?
Do you have a pet that’s figured out how to get out of the house through a door or window or perhaps out of it’s cage or crate?

This weeks theme is Twisted

Our puppy, Midnight, loves playing with her toys.
This is a photo that we took a few months ago when our Lab Puppy was much smaller than she is right now. She’s lying on her back playing with a twisted hard rubber toy bone.
That bone is still around but it doesn’t look anything like it did in that picture anymore. It’s just a small nub now. She’s slowly bitten off pieces of the bone while chewing it. Luckily she spits most of the pieces out.

A spurned Chinese wife from the Eastern province of Shandong China was so upset with her husband that she set more than 400 cell phones on fire!
The couple co-owned a successful retail business and when her husband walked out on their marriage she retaliated by destroying their stock of mobile phones valued at more than $42,000 US. After she set fire to the phones she walked out of the house.
Luckily neighbors saw smoke coming from the house and called the firefighters who extinguished the blaze quickly.
The 37 year old woman has been arrested for arson.
