The Ugly One

BIG TROUT LAKE, Ont. — A strange and ugly creature has washed ashore in a northern Ontario First Nations community and it is being treated as a bad omen.

The creature, which is over 20 centimetres long and has a bare, gargoyle-like face and furry body, was found in a lake on the Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug reserve, some 200 kilometres south of Hudson Bay, earlier this month by hikers.

A dog was sniffing around in the water and the hikers noticed the creature face-down in the lake. The dog then dragged the creature onto the land.

The community's website, which also tells stories of mermaid sightings and a "huge water snake," offers a caution over the strange, unidentified animal.

"No one knows what it is, but our ancestors used to call it the Ugly One," the Kitchenuhmaykoosib website says. "Rarely seen, but when seen, it's a bad omen. Something bad will happen, according to our ancestors."

We bought a front loading washer and dryer, though it wasn't a black friday sale, it was a pre-black friday sale. Sears pricematched and the sale included the pedestals, which run $250 a piece. They don't do anything, which is so lame. Could just have effectively put the washer and dryer on cement blocks. Anyway, bought he detergent at Sam's. Had to give the old Cheer powder detergent to my parents... it was still new. I washed and dried my huge comforter along with the sheets with no problems. I gathered all the puppies' stinky blankets and washed them in the sanitary and baby wash. The wash took quite awhile, but when we took them out the blankets smelled CLEAN. You cannot tell the puppies had those blankets in their crates... no sign of stinky boston terriers . I love ou
