A Wis. man, Peter W. Mischler, 48, came home on a Saturday after he’d been out hunting. He was upset with his 22 year old daughter, who was talking on the phone with her mother at the time, as she had let the goats out and they’d made a mess.

While the daughter was still on the phone the man told his daughter to ask her mother to bring home some beer but the wife refused.

Angrily he threatened to shoot the goats if she didn’t bring home beer.

She didn’t bring any beer home and shortly after she arrived back at the house the mother and daughter heard four gunshots outside. They went outside and found one of their two goats with it’s entrails hanging out.

Mischler was charged in Circuit Court with mistreatment of animals, possession of a firearm while intoxicated and disorderly conduct with a dangerous weapon.

The poor injured goat was shot by a deputy to put it out of it’s misery.

Mischler posted $1000 cash bond and was released. No word on whether he returned home to his wife and daughter.

Last week my wife found the Petsmart bandanna that we were given when we had our Labrador Retriever puppy groomed in January.

I guess she wanted to see if Midnight would tolerate the bandanna on her head like a scarf. To our surprise the scarf stayed on for about an hour before Midnight had either had enough of was sick of us laughing at her.

Doesn’t she look totally pathetic? She reminds me of the elderly women in our neighborhood (mostly Macedonians and Greek) who often wear scarves on their heads.

Here’s another shot:

Poor thing. We won’t do that to her again. Promise.

I think that I can safely say that most of us with pets believe that our cats or dogs think they are the Queens or Kings of the house most of the time. This cat is really playing it’s part though by sitting in it’s very own thrown!

I believe I see one of it’s royal subjects resting behind his or her majesty.

Some people dress their pets up to protect them from the cold, snow or rain … others dress them up for special holidays.

Do you dress up your pets for fun? For Halloween, Christmas or other holidays? If you do I’d love to see your photos!

So far we haven’t dressed up our puppy and I’ve said in the past that she won’t likely ever be in a costume. We did however buy her a winter coat (that’s too big for her right now!) as she sometimes seems cold when she’s outside. We also bought her some booties for her paws to protect them from the ice and the salt people put done to melt the ice and snow. That stuff cuts their tender paws!

Ok here’s some festive animals:

A mouse to help pull the sleigh …

Turkey Dog

Santa Paws?

and Mrs. Claus Paws?

Of course we can’t forget the turkey that’s all dressed for the holidays can we?

Remember if you have any funny photos that you’d like me to post feel free to send them to me by email.
