The Huffington Post: Lion Tries to Eat Zebra-Striped Toddler at Oregon Zoo

I find this frighteningly cute. All I can think of is imagine if that lion actually broke through the glass!
Hope this brings you a smile on this lovely Monday day!
Happy Monday All!
You Tube: Ultimate Dog Tease
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first time I saw this video, I laughed so hard I cried. Maybe you don’t find it that funny, but I thought I would at least put a smile on your face!
Happy Sunday All!
After I posted today’s Link of the Day, it got me thinking about all my pets at home and how much I miss them, especially my cat Ocean.
He’s about five five years old but still has the mentality of a kitten. His naughty ways include knocking down his glass bowl every time he wants food (we switched to plastic after 4 times of that), annoying our Boxer Bailey, and as you can see from the video below, sneakily claiming our glasses of water as his own.
I uploaded this video of Ocean being his mischievous self, and thought that it would give you all a good laugh.

Almost every mother pictures their child birth to happen in a hospital, dosed up on drugs, professional nurses and doctors tending to them while their baby is born healthy and happy.
However, not all mothers get that opportunity.
I found this article: Woman Gives Birth to Boy on Floor of Airport Restroom on Huff Post Travel, and just had to read it.
And while giving birth in an airport may be one of the most inconvenient spots, it doesn’t top some of the other crazy places women have given birth.
In a Tree
Yes, in a tree. While trying to escape a flood in Africa, a woman climbed up a tree and gave birth while clinging to the branches. Luckily the baby did not drop to the ground!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a Library
While on the way to the hospital in a bus, a woman was going into labor and one of the passengers worked at the hospital. They dropped off the lady at the library, and the hospital worker, along with library security, helped deliver the woman’s baby. Talk about being shushed!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On a Sidewalk
Only a few feet from the hospital, a lady gave birth on the sidewalk. That must have been extremely uncomfortable!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a Car
And yes, she was driving. Her husband suffered from seizures and only took the wheel when her water broke and out popped the baby!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Middle of a Flight
At least the article’s mother delivered hers in an airport on solid ground. One woman went into labor on a flight from Manila to San Francisco, and three nurse passengers and the cabin crew helped deliver the baby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the Internet
Yes, she was technically at home, but one mother streamed her birthing live on the internet. Surprisingly, and somewhat disgustingly, more than 2,000 people watched her live birth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, what women go through. To check out the full article and to read the full stories, along with seeing the top 10 crazy places women have given birth, visit the link above.
To all you mothers whom are expecting, here’s to hoping that you have a comfortable and planned birthing session!

Thought I would give you a little Thanksgiving laugh.
See how much these pets want to get a slice of turkey!

Happy Thanksgiving All!

Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation.
Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress.
One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, ‘Kin ya swallar?’
The woman shakes her head no.
Then he asks, ‘Kin ya breathe?’
The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.
The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.
The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth.
As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to his table.
His partner says, ‘Ya know, I’d heerd of that there ‘Hind Lick Maneuver’ but I ain’t niver seed nobody do it!’
