What a nice happy ending for the man who was saved from drowning!
Quite an interesting array of stories this week.
As much as I love my dogs, I can't imagine marrying one of them - even one as cute as hers.
I found the WWI story very interesting, too. I could see using dogs to ferry messages (spy), but it would have to be one well-trained cat!
wow, cats and dogs spying for the germans? now that's an interesting news headline from the past.
and seriously, marrying your dog??
Love the home renovation story about the house that used to be a public restroom. :-)
Marrying your dog . . . I love my cats, but, no. Although, my daughter is on a marriage kick where she's already married me and two of her girl friends at school. She's only three though so doesn't really understand the concept of marriage. :-)
Tracy, these stories are rather unbelievable! I think my favorite this week is the most subdued of the bunch, the public toilet that was transformed into a gorgeous little house with a view. Thanks for gathering these stories and making me think, "really?".
As much as I've loved my dogs and cats over the years, marrying one is more than a little wacky! And while The Wee Retreat now looks lovely, I don't know if I could get its past out of my head if I ever stayed there. Yuck!
Wacky stories and that lady who married her dog? really?
Marrying the dog? How can the dog object? LOL
I knew clowns shouldn't be trusted!
Fascinating T , as usual.
Goodness me the dog , is it lucky or in line of the way the man went?
The severed organ story is funny.
Hopefully no one entered the Alabama address into their GPS.
marrying your dog? this is ridiculous! what is this world coming to..
big hugs
xx
How interesting that one man hoping to end his own life ended up saving someone else! Clowns committing crimes- I have some creepy images in my mind.
