Now Helen, this was all done in fun and my guess is they laughed all the way to the bank because they were more than likely paid very well for doing this. :)

Imagine grown adult men acting out like this. There has to be a little bit missing upstairs.

Hero Dog Discovers Newborn Baby Girl Abandoned In Park

November 1, 2013

When 68-year-old, retired engineer, Roger Wilday, was walking his dog Jade in a Birmingham (England) city park on October 31, 2013, he never imagined his dog would lead him to a newborn baby girl who had been abandoned inside a bag. The hero canine was off leash and when she made the discovery she made sure Wilday became aware of the tiny human in need as well.

According to Mail Online, Wilday told reporters “Jade has grown up with children around her, she loves babies and when she found the baby in the bushes she wouldn’t leave until she knew I had seen it.”

The dog owner was astounded by the discovery, and said he believed the baby was just a few hours old since she was still warm and her umbilical cord was still attached.

Wilday called authorities and within minutes police and an ambulance arrived at the park.

BBC News reported the newborn was wrapped in a light blue blanket and was placed inside an Entertainer toy shop bag. The baby was taken to Birmingham Heartlands Hospital and doctors determined she weighed 6 lbs and is approximately 1- or 2-days old.

Police took the blanket and send it to be processed for DNA. They hope the test results will help identify the baby’s parents.

The infant, now known as “Baby Jade,” was named after her four-legged hero rescuer.

“She is a hero dog,” said Wilday. “There was no-one else in the park at the time and it was very cold. If it wasn’t for Jade that baby could have been dead.”

The baby was found in good health and is expected to make a full recovery. Authorities hope Baby Jade’s mother comes forward soon.

Hershey’s Kisses Mini Pies

This mini pies are an excellent dessert to serve for parties and get-togethers, or maybe a nice little treat for Valentine’s Day. They are best served warm!

Mini Kiss Pies

Yield: about 14 pies

Ingredients:

14 Hershey’s Kisses, any flavor
1 refrigerated pie crust
cooking spray
granulated and powdered sugar for sprinkling

Method:

Preheat oven to 350º. Roll out pie crust to slightly flatten.

Using a 2 1/2 or 3 inch round cookie cutter, cut approximately 12 rounds in the dough. (It just needs to be big enough to come up to the top of the kiss.) From the scraps, you will probably be able to roll 2 more rounds. Discard remaining dough. It will be tough if you continue to roll out the scraps.

Bring two edges of the round up around the top of a Kiss. Pinch together tightly.

Bring the other two edges up to the center and pinch together tightly (see pictures). Pinch the seams to seal. Sometimes it helps to slightly fold the seam over so that they don’t open up while baking.

Lightly spray the tops of the pies with the cooking spray and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Bake approximately 15 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool and dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional). I like to eat mine while they’re still warm.

The nice thing about the recipe is that it doesn’t make too large of a batch!
