8WATER COOLER Wrinkled Texas dog that got facelift adopted SAN ANTONIO – First, Sesame the shar-pei got a facelift. Now, he has a new home. Sesame had surgery in San Antonio on Monday to reduce excessive wrinkles and help him to see and hear better. On Friday, the San Antonio Humane Society said a San Antonio woman adopted the 2-year-old pooch and took him home. A Humane Society statement identified the woman only as Teresa but said she had experience with the wrinkly Chinese dog breed, having owned several shar-peis before. The Humane Society ordered the plastic surgery for Sesame because he had so many facial wrinkles that he could hardly open his eyes and was prone to rashes. The weight from the wrinkles also closed access to the dog’s ears and he developed infections.
Wallabies on the loose in Austria – yes, Austria VIENNA – Volunteers are searching for a pair of wallabies hopping through Austria – yes, Austria. The kangaroo-like marsupials, which are smaller than “roos” and primarily found in Australia, escaped from a farm in the Upper Austrian countryside, about 110 miles northwest of Vienna. Thursday was the third day of the quest to find them. There actually are three wallabies on the loose – owner Gabrielle Schrammel said the female has a joey in her pouch. Austrians often express irritation at being confused for Australians while abroad, and mail meant for Australia occasionally surfaces in this central European Alpine country. Those Vienna souvenir shops selling T-shirts with the slogan “No kangaroos in Austria” might have to start a recall campaign.
