Telepathic Football Threatens Chilean Teens
VILLA SAN RAFAEL, Chile (Wireless Flash) -- Forget Bigfoot or the Mothman. The newest paranormal creature is a four-legged football.
Believe it or not, a creature matching that exact description has been sighted threatening teenagers in Villa San Rafael, Chile.
Researchers at the Calama UFO Center in Chile claim the mysterious menace has wings, a face like a large bulldog and is "shaped like a rugby football with legs."
Paranormal researcher Dr. Virgilio Sanchez-Ocejo isn't sure if the creature is one of those goat-sucking chupacabras, but admits both animals telepathically communicate with humans.
The winged football is just one of hundreds of strange creatures that have been terrorizing Chile since 1999 and Dr. Sanchez-Ocejo suspects the mysterious beings are entering Chile through a dimensional doorway.
Yes, bassets do run away, you always need to be careful with them...they have such a great nose, and they get on a scent and just disappear...more than once, Helga would disappear on us...one time when we first moved into our current house, I used to have to walk all three of my dogs, because we did not have a cyclone fence up...I turned my back on Helga, and dropped her leash for no more than 5 seconds and she was gone...I just could not find her...I panicked as it was going on to evening time, and sent my husband out to look for her....
He finally found her a couple of miles from home...and bassets just wont come when you call them...they are so stubborn..they hear you just fine, they just expect you to find them, they will never find you...when he finally found her, she was sitting in a clump of trees, near a small lake, just relaxing and waiting for him to get her...
I was so worried waiting for him to return..then I heard him hollering and whacking the ground with a big tree limb...all of a sudden, here came Helga, running as fast as her chubby basset legs would carry her...she was scared my hubby was going to whack her with that tree limb...
The real estate gal who sold us this house, told us her best friend had a basset hound...she said she had to give it away, because every time she turned her back, that dog run off, looking behind her the whole time, seemingly laughing and snickering that she was so clever to have escaped...the woman said she gave that dog away because she was afraid she would kill her...
So, yes Palo, bassets are absolutely notorious for running away, its just in their nature...and they are also complete chow hounds...they love to eat, as you know...
Bassets...the world is better and funnier for having them...
And during that time, she did not even have to get up to get her treats and water...she had her special quilt on the floor at the foot of the bed, and there she curled up...my husband would go to her, and hand feed her the cookies, and bring her silver bowl with fresh cool water, right to her...
By this time, she was so old, and greying, but it was touching to see my hubby, who normally never paid much attention to any of our many years worth of animals, go out of his way to ease Helgas slow decline...
She touched his heart in a way I had not seen him feel before towards an animal...we sure do miss her, she was as you say a 'diva'...
