Two Cents Tuesday....

So, I have been a little behind in these 'Two Cents Tuesday' posts - you may have seen some of these things already via social media, since I have taken some time off, but these things made me smile. BIG. Have a smile, wontcha?


A donkey popped up out of a manhole in Switzerland – and the beast has so far been unwilling or unable to offer investigators any leads on what he was doing down there.
Local man Urs Meyer found the big-eared creature with his head poking out of the manhole cover while walking his dog in the municipality of Pratteln in northern Switzerland.
Meyer manfully fought back the urge to make any pun on the words ‘ass’ and ‘hole’.
Meyer said, ‘My initial reaction was it was a stuffed toy but then I saw it move its ears and shake its head, and realised it was real. I don’t know how the manhole cover ended up being moved but the donkey had clearly fallen inside and was stuck there.’
It took more than an hour to dislodge the donkey from the hole.
Fire brigade spokesman Markus Osterhagen said: ‘The donkey was lucky it didn’t end up falling any deeper into the hole. It was hard enough to get it out as it was. We reckon it probably been there all night, and although it had some small cuts from trying to wriggle free, it was otherwise unhurt.’

"When Griffith was a teenager, her actress mother, Tippi Hedren, and her stepfather, director Noel Marshall, decided they wanted to make a film about big cats after returning from a trip to Africa and seeing them in person. An animal trainer suggested they get to know them better by living with a lion, so they ended up taking Neil into their home." Read all about it and see many more beautiful photos HERE.


This is gotta be my all time favorite.... Little G (Gertjie, the baby rhino) and his sidekick Lammie (the spunky goat) are the best of friends. But Little G has not yet figured out he can't exactly frolic around like his friend. Little G is trying so hard to pounce, but I am afraid his build might be a little too 'husky' ! Oh, how I love this!!!
