NO HE IS NOT FARTICUS.

Wolee, pygmy hippopotamus of the OKC Zoo, was humanely euthanized today at age 45. Lately he had been suffering from age related issues. He was the best boy. I always went to see him first and now he is gone.

I work at my local humane society, in the behavioral therapy/ rehabilitation program, which like it sounds, works with dogs who have severe behavioral issues due to abuse/neglect, to get them ready for adoption. Sometimes we get in a dog who is not going to improve, usually medical related, and I have to make the call on those cases. Today I had to make that call. So. RIP to Luna, a very sweet 7 month old Aussie puppy, who did not deserve what happened to her. I hope she is in a peaceful place now, and that her former human scum owner burns in hell forever.

RIP Orson Bean. Character actor known for The Twilight Zone as Mr. Bevis, Rankin/Bass version of The Hobbit as Bilbo Baggins and Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman as Loren Bray

He was 91 (and still occasionally appearing in things) but in the end it wasn't old age or illness that got him. He was crossing the street, on his way to see a play, and got struck by *two* cars in rapid succession.

This sucks to hear. I was just finishing rewatching Oz recently. He was great as Ryan and Cyril's dad in it.

I don't know if my favorite Kirk Douglas film was Ace in the Hole or Paths of Glory.

Pretty sure it isn't Saturn 3.

RIP Ron "Courage the Cowardly Dog" McLarty
