Mary Davis' cocker spaniel, Dusty, knocked her off balance, causing her to fall rear-first into a tall cylindrical bin. "She was responsive and happy to be found," police said in a statement. (Philadelphia Inquirer)

"rear-first into a tall cylindrical bin" There's got to be a joke in there somewhere, but I just crawled out of bed.

HA! Man's best friend my ass!

However, the visual has me laughing. Head, arms and legs flailing from "tall cylindrical bin" as cocker spaniel runs around and jumps up and barks happily.

to be fair, a cocker-spaniel isn't really a "dog"...
Posted by: sometimesilie | Wednesday, March 04, 2009 at 09:22 AM
the " barks happily" was what made me LOL, Lime...

how much recyclable material can one get off a 76 year old lady anyway? Must take a cocker-spaniel to figure that one out!
Posted by: sometimesilie | Wednesday, March 04, 2009 at 09:24 AM
Well, at least if she had to "go", she was stuck in a convenient place.

"she has survival skills" WTF? She was stuck in a bucket! How do you utilize your skills when your butt is stuck in a bucket? Is sit and wait a survivor skill?

"She's alert, and, hopefully, she's going to be OK," Ayala said. "She has survival skills." Damn...RMM beat me to it...Great minds and all....

Although, she coulda given a lesson in sit and wait to the sun following kid from yesterday...

That's what she gets for forgetting to feed the dog that day. Next time he's going to bury her in the backyard.

Recycling old people.. What next!
Posted by: Dick C. Normas | Wednesday, March 04, 2009 at 11:11 AM
I was in the garage, and -- oh, man!
Little Dusty right into me ran.
The recyling bin
Was right there; I fell in.
Now my dog's knocked my can in the can!

You go, KC!

Lady falls in bucket & is stuck for 3 days.
Family grateful she didn't fall on the floor...??
Would she be stuck there for a week??
At least she could get up, crawl or pull herself back into the house.
This lady needs one of those necklaces where she can beep someone,"I've fallen & I can't get up!"
Posted by: Anna | Wednesday, March 04, 2009 at 01:28 PM
Maybe she needs a cocker spaniel sized bong?
Posted by: tinman | Wednesday, March 04, 2009 at 02:13 PM
there once was a lady from nantucket,
her dog tossed her into the bucket,
she sat stuck and bent
for days and nights unent,
and wished for a bong and a parrot.
okay, with the accent it will work, but
i am leaving it up here....

To all sentient beings within the beloved OS&RR,
As was written in the prophecy, I hereby proclaim on this day, being Wednesday, the fourth of the month of March in the year 2009 that K.C., The Wise and Witty has been granted the sacred title of Poet Laureate of the High Order of Phi Beta Bullshit International. The goddesses have adorned him with the sacred robe and The Great and Awesome Merc has blessed him, and placed the Scepter of Poetry in his hand. Thus shall he rule until his death.
Oh K.C. The Wise, may you live forever! May limericks flow from your gilded hand like wine from the pitchers of all the goddesses! May our company be effused with laughter as you weild your mighty keyboard! Amen.

As I read LGS's post the clouds parted and the sun shined down upon me, I could hear the angels singing...
Aaahhhhhhhhhh
As it is written, so shall it be
Posted by: cherie | Wednesday, March 04, 2009 at 02:34 PM
maybe the cocker spaniel saw "Soylent Green" and thought he should get a head start.
Posted by: David | Wednesday, March 04, 2009 at 02:50 PM

It is ever so touchy and feely
To be honored so, and I do freely
Recognize my great debt
To all news jerks. And yet....
You should all get a life -- I mean, really!!
