Had to laugh when I read the phrase:

"...a two-faced cow from America..."

Reminded me of a complete bee-yotch of a supervisor for whom I used to work!!

Lo - it's a six-legged pig
Monday, April 2, 2007

This beautiful little creature is a piglet with six legs, which was born two days ago in Lianyungang, China. In case you haven't spotted them yet, the spare legs can be seen emerging from the vicinty of the pig's buttocks. It follows on from two previous Chinese pigs which both had two faces, a two-faced cow from America, and a six-legged cow from Colombia. Oh, and a seven-legged gender-bending deer in Wisconsin.

Regular readers and Sinophiles will need no reminding that, this being the Chinese Year of the Pig, the birth of this pig is likely to be seen as a particularly good omen. Or a particularly bad omen.

Would these little guys be Warglets?

Interesting find, Faceless. Looks like an ostrich on steroids.

An excellent observation

I wonder how much longer it might have lived if they hadn't slaughtered it. That's really pissed me off.

Dog Crowned World's Ugliest
The Associated Press

Karen Quigley, of Seweel, N.J., holds her Chinese Crested dog "Elwood", who won the 2007 World's Ugliest Dog Contest Friday, June 22, 2007, in Petaluma, Calif. Elwood weighs in at just 6 pounds and was rescued as the result of a New Jersey SPCA investigation. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)

Elwood, dark colored and hairless , save for a mohawk-like puff of white fur on his head , is often referred to as "Yoda," or "ET," for his resemblance to those famous science fiction characters. "I think he's the cutest thing that ever lived," said Elwood's owner, Karen Quigley, a resident of Sewell, New Jersey.

Quigley brought Elwood out to compete for the second year at the annual ugly dog contest at the Marin-Sonoma County Fair. Elwood placed second last year. Most of the competing canines were also Chinese Crested, a breed that features a mohawk, bug eyes and a long, wagging tongue.

Quigley said she rescued Elwood two years ago. "The breeder was going to euthanize him because she thought he was too ugly to sell," said Quigley. "So ha ha, now Elwood's all over the Internet and people love him and adore him." Beyond the regal title of ugliest dog, Elwood also earned a $1,000 reward for his owner.

My cat would no more stand for that than she would fly! This is the way we wash our paws? This is the way we slash owners jugler more like...

[Skylace]

I was dying over that as well. What a patient cat!

[SpursFan1902]

It must not be all cat...there must be some dog in it 'cause no self respecting feline would put up with that!!

[Skylace]

My dogs wouldn't put up with that either!

[girldorksrule]

I actually had a cat who LOVED baths. And he played fetch. *shrug*

[SpursFan1902]

Mine used to fetch in her younger years, but I always felt it was for her exercise and entertainment, not mine. She also drinks with her feet (sorta like a racoon washing her food), but I am sure baths are out of the question.....for her and me.
