If You See A Raccoon, You Can Be Pretty Sure It Wants To Eat Your Face

Rabid raccoons have descended on Brooklyn...or at least Boerum Hill.

The Department of Health captured one last week that was acting bizarro ("trying to interact with a dog." Interact as in EAT??).

Anyway.

Time to add killer raccoons to the long list of shit you now need to be worried about.

UPDATE: Sugar is Back Home!

I was so, so , so happy to see this Daily News story about Sugar finally being reunited with her family!

After all this ransom B.S. some dude found her tied to a bush in Prospect park.

Whatver, we're just glad the bitch is back!

Yay!

Let's Find Sugar!

UPDATE: Sugar was dognapped? And is being held for ransom? Yes, seriously, ppl. This shit just got INSANE.

Just got this note about a missing dog named Sugar (pictured). It's snowy, and cold, and scary out there today (and if we're being honest, someone has probably already stolen her coat!), so come on! Let's help find this adorable little bitch!:

"A little dog named Sugar ran away from her mom in Prospect Park this morning.  She is the cutest little dog - a cross between Corgie and French Bulldog.  She is wearing a pink coat and was dragging a retractable leash behind her.  The mom is worried she has gotten herself snared in the woods!!!  Needless to say, she is beside herself criss-crossing the park in this snow storm looking for her girl.  If you are heading out for a snow walk with your own dog this afternoon or evening, please keep an eye out for little Sugar and if you find her, call the mom at 347-603-2016 or 718-622-3833."

DOG MUGGING IN NY POST [And Everywhere Else on the Fucking Planet]

photo: NY PostUPDATE: The online version of the story was updated to include a FIPS reference! Thanks to Jeremy Olshan...he's the NY Post reporter who's got our back.

Remember that harrowing tale we told the other day about the poor doggie who got his coat jacked?

Well, the dude made it to the big time. The NY Post has a story about it right here: A Terrier-fying Crime.

So, yeah: the story is in the NY Post, some funny quotes from Donna, Lexie's Mom are in the NY Post, and an adorable photo of Lexie is in the NY Post (see above). You wanna know who's NOT in the NY Post??

Yep, you guessed it: no mention of FIPS.

SON OF A.

Congrats to Lexie though! Oliver *is* kinda pissed that another neighborhood dog is stealing his thunder, but the dude needs to be put in his place every once in awhile cause he's kinda getting a little diva. Now they'll have to fight it out on the streets of Park Slope as they both vie for the attention of the pup-a-razzi.

Dog Muggings: AYFKMWTS??

(this is not Lexie)

If you think this friggin recession is over, think again ppl. I mean, how can the recession POSSIBLY be over when shit like this is goin down (FYI, Lexie is a little Westie who lives up the street from us and is buds with Oliver; his mom sent along this note):

"I ran out of milk Sat night at 6.30pm so bundled Lexie up in his little green coat and walked down to Union & 7th to get some milk from Ace Supermarket. I tied lexie to the door (where I could see him through the glass) and grabbed the milk. As anyone who's been in Ace knows, the milk is located right inside the door, so I only had my back turned on Lexie for 10 seconds or so ( I know, I know: people will shout at me for leaving him alone outside and I  never normally do, but I needed some milk!). I was back outside within less than a minute, and when I came out someone had STOLEN THE GREEN COAT off of lexe's back!?.

WHAT. THE. FUCK??? I mean, who does that? 

I thank god the dog coat thief didn't steal Lexie, but I never expected my friggin dog to get mugged!

Lexie is OK post traumatic incident, but I swear to God: if I see someone with a dog in Lexie's green coat you better run in the opposite direction!!"

Ok, see!? How in the fuck can the recession be over if people have now taken to stealing motherfucking dog coats right off of your dog's motherfucking back!?

Un. Be. Lievable.
