Dogs are wonderful pets, but they’re widely known for their ability to get into trouble when left unattended.  Such is the case of a Shar-Pei mix in Cathedral City, California.  A Shar-Pei mixed dog has been given the nickname Wally after he was found wedged in the six-inch gap between two six-foot-high cinder block walls.  It’s quite possible that Wally found an even-tighter squeeze than the dog stuck in a recliner did!

According to Riverside Animal Services Department spokesman John Welsh, it is believed that Wally got wedged in the tiny crevasse after chasing a rabbit or some other small game into the gap.  It took about 40 minutes for Riverside County authorities knocked down one of the six-foot-high walls keeping Wally stuck.  He was extracted, given water and a bean and cheese burrito to eat, and was taken to nearby Coachella Valley Animal Campus in Thousand Palms for examination and rehydration.

Wally is believed to be about 4 years old and was in good health in spite of his harrowing ordeal.  If his owners do not come forward, the dog will be put up for adoption.  It is unknown how long Wally was stuck between the walls before his predicament was discovered.

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
