Topic: Best Pets
Posted by ohryankelley at 4:01 PM EDTThis week's Best Pets comes to us from Gamesviller Gramdeb4 of Galena, IL. Meet her determined dogs Jesse and Maxie! Distinguishing Personality Traits Gramdeb4 says, "These are my granddogs, Jesse the miniature pinscher & Maxie the doberman. They love their Gramma and usually fight over who will sit on my lap. It always ends in a draw with both dogs sharing the lap. They lost their mommy on June 7th of this year when my daughter lost her brave fight with lymphoma. Now Jesse lives with me, along with my granddaughter and Maxie lives with Daddy. They do see each other a lot and competition continues between the two. Never doubt that dogs do mourn or feel loss--these two still miss Mommy and we do our best to shower them with comfort and love."

Topic: Weird Wire™
Posted by ohryankelley at 5:42 PM EDTWe've heard of family squabbles, but this one may take the cake. According to KTLA comedian Sunda Croonquist's mother-in-law jokes may have struck a nerve, as she is now being sued by the family member for spreading false, defamatory lies with in-law jokes that have become a staple of her routine. The action seeks damages and demands that Croonquist remove any offensive statements from her Web site, routines and recordings. While Croonquist agreed to drop any language her family finds offensive in her act, she refuses to pay any settlement. That must be one tough crowd to entertain during the holidays.
