This just makes sense. Bandaids are imprinted with exclamations that may serve as the story of how the "boo-boo" happened! "Ouch!" pretty much says it all. Link -via Geek Like Me

Debbie Herot arrived at the veterinary clinic she managed last week to find a dog and a note on the doorstep.

"Dear Drs., please forgive me for this horrible transgression. I have no where else to turn so I ask you to mercifully, gently and lovingly please help him sleep. His name is Kaiser and he's 16-and-a half years old. He's been my friend, my teacher, my pupil, my lifelong loving and loyal companion," the letter said.

On the envelope, the author of the letter said that he thought Kaiser had two strokes the night before.

"Be good to him as you would your own child, for he's been mine for a loving lifetime," the envelope read.

The note continued, describing the life Kaiser led with the homeless disabled veteran who wrote the letter, and how close they were. Herot could not euthanize this dog. The rest of Kaiser's story involves a deceased clinic worker, veterinary staff, a Los Angeles newspaper and TV station, and Bob Mikolasko, who was reunited with Kaiser. http://ktla.trb.com/news/ktla-vet-dog-reunited,0,5137067.story (with video) -via Simply Left Behind

How do you lose a 44 pound cat? Someone in Camden, New Jersey managed to do it.

Camden County Animal Control Officer Jim McCleery got the call Friday. There was a a stray cat prowling on a patio in the Ashley Run condominium development.

"We picked him up and I knew from the get-go it wouldn't fit in the regular cat carrier, so we had to put him in a dog carrier. . . it was a big cat, the biggest one this year," said McCleery of the Camden County Joint Municipal Animal Control Program.

Employees at Camden County Animal Shelter called the feline "Captain Chunk." Realizing she was female, the name was quickly changed to "Princess Chunk." Her "foster mom" -- shelter volunteer Deborah Wright -- calls her "Princess Chunky."

Chunk had to be weighed on a dog scale, because the shelter's cat scale only goes to 25 pounds, according to Jennifer Anderch, the shelter's executive director. After a seven-day waiting period to give her owner a chance to claim her, they will run medical tests to see if Princess Chunk has diabetes or other medical conditions.

Shelter staff is hoping that the owner of Princess Chunky comes forward soon. If no one claims her by Saturday, Anderch is confident that she will be adopted quickly.

"We have gotten several adoption applications, from five or six people already, and we are going through them now. We will choose the one that appears to be the best for her," said Anderch.

Princess Chunk will be a guest Thursday morning on the TV show Live with Regis and Kathy Lee Kelly. http://www.philly.com/philly/living/pets/20080729_Here_kitty__kitty__S_J__officials_seek_owner_of_44-pound_cat.html -via Metafilter
