21. Cow Splat! Daisy Takes An Unexpected
Dip
3:28pm UK, Thursday May 14, 2009
An intrepid cow has made a big splash with one
Buckinghamshire family, after breaking in to their back
garden and testing out the swimming pool.
Ruth Scott, who runs a travel agency, was working from home when
the family noticed a small herd of cows roaming around the
flowerbeds. But surprise quickly turned to shock when one of the
beasts fell into the pool.
Mrs Scott, of Milton Keynes, said: "My son-in-law Mark was in the
shower when his wife Zoe called out that there were cows in the
garden. "The next thing we realised, one was in the swimming pool.
It started to swim down to the deep end, which was very scary."

Mrs Scott called the fire brigade and the farmer who owns the
cows, while Mark tried to free the struggling cow which was trying
to climb over the side.After much splashing around, it eventually
found its way back to the shallow end.
Mrs Scott said: "It looked like it was going to hit its head, but it
righted itself, then casually walked up the steps. The farmer and fire
brigade arrived just then, as it made its way out. We felt slightly
ridiculous.“
The cow is now safely back on dry land in its field next door.

23. Puppy Saved In Dramatic Toilet Rescue
11:34am UK, Monday June 15, 2009
A week-old cocker spaniel was the subject of an emergency
rescue after being accidentally flushed down his owner's toilet.
The tiny pooch was trapped in a waste pipe for almost four hours
after four-year-old Daniel Blair decided he "needed a wash" in the
loo and pulled the chain.
Frantic attempts to find the flushed puppy began, but all efforts by
the fire brigade and the RSPCA at the house in Northolt,
Middlesex, failed.
The 'plumb' job landed to drain experts Dyno-Rod, who used
specialist camera gear to locate the crying pet in a pipe 20 yards
away from the Blairs' home

24. Neighbours were warned not to flush their toilets to prevent him
from being pushed into the main sewer and an engineer from the
firm was called.
Will Craig, 22, from Harrow in Middlesex, said he was initially
reluctant to nudge the pup towards a manhole cover, "because I was
scared of hurting (him)"."But the RSPCA said I was his only
hope," he told the Daily Mirror. "Eventually I pushed him far
enough for the firemen to grab."

26. Squirrels Start Fire At MP's Home
19:33, UK, Thursday 08 January 2009
Squirrels have been blamed for setting a former attorney
general's house on fire.
The rodents are believed to have gnawed their way through cables,
sparking the blaze at the property belonging to former MP Lord
Mayhew on Wednesday afternoon.Firefighters battled the flames for
almost two hours at the two-storey cottage in Goudhurst, near
Cranbrook, Kent.
Lord Mayhew told the Kent Messenger: "The fire broke out in a
void behind an airing cupboard and the most probable cause was
squirrels chewing through cables.

as yet unknown but squirrels chewing wires, and the wires igniting,
"does sometimes happen".
"A spokeswoman for Kent Fire and Rescue Service estimated
about 90% of the first floor and roof void had been "severely
damaged". "The rest of the property was damaged by smoke and
heat," she said.

28. Banker Rescues Ducklings Left High And
Dry
3:46pm UK, Wednesday May 20, 2009
A quick-thinking banker has endeared himself to the people of
Washington State by rescuing a family of ducks stranded on the
second floor of a building.
The mother duck built her nest outside Joel Armstrong's
window in the centre of Spokan city, near the river and, for the
next 35 days, Mr Armstrong watched events unfold with
interest.
But he soon discovered he was in for another surprise when he
realised the duck needed to take her babies to fresh water.

Realising what was wrong, Mr Armstrong ran downstairs and took
up his position on the pavement below, next to the mother duck who
was quacking encouragement to her babies.
The banker kept his eyes on the ducklings while chatting
reassuringly to their mum. Then the ducklings moved, two jumping
right into his hands. Gradually, the other ducklings followed and
each was caught safely and passed over to mother duck.

had gathered and, with the help of some new-found friends, Mr
Armstrong was able to move the ducks to a new home better suited to
their needs, the local river.
