PARK HILLS, Mo., May 23 - A small black dog that was hit by a mail delivery truck and presumed dead defied death twice — first by surviving the accident and then by digging itself out of a grave. SPRAWLED ON THE pavement near the mailbox Monday, Sweetie seemed lifeless to owner Glenda Stevens.

Futilely seeking a heartbeat, Stevens assuming Sweetie was dead and dug a grave in which to bury her beloved pet. Hours later, Stevens saw Sweetie's hind legs sticking out of the ground. The presumed dead dog was digging itself out.

"Have you ever heard of an animal digging itself out of a grave?" Stevens asked. "She's my baby and I love her."

The dog suffered a broken front leg and a broken jaw. A veterinarian told Stevens that it would be best to put the animal to sleep. But after seeing Sweetie's will to live, Stevens refused. She planned to take the dog to a specialist to fix the broken jaw.

Cool story but a little scary. This dog might be a zombie or a devil in dog form.

But what does this have to do with why I can't stop thinking about Tarzan's dick?

It is a devil dog. It was reared by our resident loser Marg. She is the one who ran it over.

Maria I hope that answers the cock dilemma you seem to be having.
