If We Only Had the Brains of Animals.

Today is Bulldogs Are Beautiful Day. I've never known a Bulldog. I don't think they are uglier than many other breeds but that under-bite is wicked.

I watched an interesting video on Facebook last week. A female cat gave birth to kittens within hours of several duck eggs hatching. The mother cat rounded up the baby ducks and took them as her own. She nursed, cleaned and cared for the little yellow things just as she did her kittens.

I've been watching the series "Inside Animal Minds" on PBS (I added PBS to give the impression I'm sophisticated). Animals are smarter than we think. People are the ones with the so-called big brains. We could take lessons in love and acceptance from our animal friends.

Here are a few examples of questionable human behavior. 

A nursing home is likely going to be sued after allegedly hiring a male stripper to entertain its elderly residents during a party in the recreational room.

During a visit to the We Care Nursing Center in West Adairville, Ohio the son of 85-year-old Bernice Tuller discovered a photo that appears to show the woman slipping money into a male stripper's briefs.

“Plaintiff Bernice Tuller was placed in apprehension of imminent, offensive, physical harm, as she was confused and bewildered as to why a muscular, almost nude man, was approaching her and placing his body and limbs, over [her],” according to the suit.

“Bernice Tuller has lived 85 years as a traditional Baptist, hard-working, lady…And now she has been defiled,” said attorney John Bay.

According to the lawsuit, the striptease was done “for the perverse pleasure and enjoyment of the Defendant’s staff.”

Privately Bernice said. "At first I thought he was the pizza delivery guy. That's why I was trying to tip him. My son told me we would get lots of money and I could move out of this place if we sue. I didn't mind the stripper at all. Even when you're old it's good to live it up once in a while."

An East Texas woman was arrested after she apparently thought the police wanted to hear about her pot problems.

Evelyn Hamilton called 911 to complain about purchasing poor pot after her dealer sold her "seeds and residue” for $40.

When police went to her home, the 37-year-old told officers that her dealer had refused to return her money after she complained.

Hamilton was asked if she still had the marijuana and she pulled it out of her bra.

She was arrested and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.

The suspect later posted a $500 bond and was released from jail.

When her court case is concluded Evelyn is planning a move to Colorado. "I'm sick and tired of this shitty Texas weed. You'd think this close to Mexico I could get something worth smoking."

I wonder what she has in mind for the ex-boyfriend.

A woman seeking revenge on a romantic rival smashed the windows of her home and dumped a box of live white rats inside, police said.

In a long running dispute over a man, the jealous lover and eight other women friends used a baseball bat to break the glass and toss the rodents inside the house.

The gang also punched the 30-year-old victim and stole her purse containing her identification and about $200.

The sex didn't end in a climax but it was exciting.

Police in Spain are looking for a man who left his lover down a well when she fell in as they had sex.

The pair, who had met earlier that night, did not realize the wooden cover on the well had slipped when things started to heat up.

The man fled from the scene when 21-year-old Adele Apomontee fell 15 feet into the hole and plunged into the water below.

After spending half an hour in the water, she was rescued when an anonymous person called the police to report a woman had fallen into a well.

Police are now eager to speak to Ms. Apomontee's companion, who could be charged with failing to give help to someone in need of assistance, which is what got him involved in the first place.

It is doubtful he will be found since Ms. Apomontee can not give an accurate description of the man. "I just met him and to tell you the truth, I didn't much look at his face."

She was sent to the hospital where she was treated for hypothermia. "It could have ended in tragedy", said Alfredo Gallo of the fire service. "Luckily, she could swim."

A 10-year-old Norwegian boy who took his parents car for a joy ride has hit the road again.

This time he took off in the car of a relative the family was visiting and managed to drive about 19 miles before stopping.

When the parents realized what happened, they phoned police who sent messages over Twitter and traffic radio asking the public for help. The boy eventually stopped and a bystander took his keys away.

The boy caused a stir the first time when he loaded his 18-month-old sister in the family car and drove off to visit their grandparents 60 miles away. That trip he only made it 10 miles when he drove into a snowy ditch.

Police had considered the case closed. But they were not so forgiving about the second incident and have reported the family to child services. They are concerned the child is not receiving proper adult supervision.

When apprehended the second time the 10-year-old claimed he was a midget and forgot his driver's license.
