I saw this story on CNN’s website at lunchtime and it was too funny not to pass along: Three chihuahuas cornered a full-grown cougar in a garage in Los Angeles. Barking loudly, the tiny chihuahuas kept the 100+ pound cougar cornered for 45 minutes until animal control officials arrived.
So I guess there is good reason for them making such a racket all the time.
There are conflicting reports of what happened to the cougar once it had been trapped. One report said it was released into the wild; a second report said it had to be euthanized; and a third report said that once released, it put on makeup and a tube top and got a seat at the bar at Spindini.
