Art Bell still does a couple of shows/month. Last two Sundays, iirc. He was on last Sunday with "JC" for most
of the first hour. JC even took calls. That is, when he wasn't talking over them.

It is but another reason to close the border.

The animal is question is a dog...... a Mexican Hairless.

[Ditter]

Sometimes the pads of a dogs feet will grow things that look like toenails. An old JacK Russell that I had to put down last year had them. At first I though there were toenails growing out of the pads of her feet.

BTW the strange animal is a mangy coyote. I have seen live ones like that.

Boy, the Taco Bell dog really let himself go!

Awwwww, LOL.

Hmmmmm, you may be on to something there. Maybe it was the product of gene splicing. On the other hand, these critters are vampire-ish; maybe it is just a new breed of liberal.

Why did you post a pic of Hillary Clinton on this thread?

Or is that Janet Reno...I can't tell because of the BLEEDING from my EYES it caused!

YOW! That dog done got run over by the Ugly 18 Wheeler, then it backed up and hit it 8 or 9 more times!

[sandydipper]

Looks like a fox with mange.

[txhurl]

Never seen one of those and I've seen bout every animal there is here.

Wonder how big they can get.

[hispanarepublicana]

Wonder how big they can get.

Chupacabras? Not sure, but I would want one only while it's a puppy, then I'd let it go.

very sick coyote.

Ping

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Looks like a sick, mangy, deformed coyote to me...

I was thinking a cross between a coyote and a sheep. That'll teach those blood suckers.

[Vicomte13]

Cowbell! We need more cowbell with that chupacabra!

[Chasaway]

"Cowbell! We need more cowbell with that chupacabra!"

Walken for President! Scare the hell out of 'em.

"His show was the greatest. Not the show, necessarily, but the cast of characters it attracted at 2am."

The greatest. Art Bell has an ability to interview and get at things that George Noory does not. That, and Art loved this country. Who really knows whether Noory does or not?

Art made the decision to retire wwaaaaayyy too early.

I can't hardly believe anything that any of the guests say, but it is fun. (For example, the guy who last week thought he had captured a Bigfoot. Turns out the whole thing was a hoax. Not quite sure who perpetrated it, but many swallowed it hook, line and worm.)

Paging Art Bell...

Very similar to Baltimore's hyote (hyena-coyote) found last year. See:

Experts later said it was a red fox with the mange.

[SunkenCiv]

Looks like it will be good for a chuckle, at worst.

Another mangy coyote; or did they recycle this story from about a year ago?
