Dolphin Pastimes

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 12:49:00 -0400

This short video will demonstrate that any intelligent being will find something to fill in time when held captive...what would you do in the same type of situation??? I doubt any of us could be quite so creative...we would probably be thinking only of escape, not play...

A Fallen Hummingbird

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:10:00 -0400

Thanks to Cheryl for sharing this video and story with us… I also posted in on my Facebook page…

This is an amazing story about a baby hummingbird found on a sidewalk. He couldn't fly, so I took him under my wing. At night, he would come home to our house for safety. During the day, he was in the backyard of the house near where I found him.

Hi Ruth,

Sharing happy news. Ki (her horse) has been gone one week yesterday, and yesterday morning I got a phone call from a man who had 3 horses that he had been waiting for a lady to pick up. He called to say she never came. Hesitantly, I went to look at them today, and took a friend along. [More]

Wisdom of Eagles

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 12:25:00 -0400

I received the most wonderful powerpoint presentation last year when I was finishing up my chemo for Ovarian Cancer, and I waited to share it with some who like to see such things from time-to-time. Today, I found an even better presentation and it is a video I shared on my Facebook page. You will remember that I started out this FB odyssey because it looked like a great place to share pics and videos with everyone. It has expanded waaaayyyy beyond that! LOL

Anyway, to see the Magic of Rebirth/Wisdom of the Eagles, click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S-EX8QJZ0k&feature=PlayList&p=07A10A7FC0F0647D&index=123%20%20

Caterpillars Have Imaginal Cells

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 12:58:00 -0400

Thought you might find this as interesting as I do. Norie Huddle in her book describes:

"The caterpillar's new cells [after it has built its cocoon] are called 'imaginal cells.' They resonate at a different frequency. They are so totally different from the caterpillar cells that his immune system [that is the immune system of the worm] thinks they [the new imaginal cells] are enemies... and gobbles them up . . . But these new imaginal cells continue to appear, more and more of them! Pretty soon, the caterpillar's immune system cannot destroy them fast enough. More and more of the imaginal cells survive.

Wild Home Movies

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 12:36:00 -0400

In 2005 i started filming scenes and whatever came up while the camera was running, but have yet to view anything i did then or later. Waiting for instructions on how to best use these visions to benefit me and all i love. for this reason, i was drawn to view what others filmed while on safari or visiting the zoo. Good reasons why we need to be prepared for anything to happen! :)

Vets Really Do Know their stuff

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 12:55:00 -0400

A woman brought a very still, elderly duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the duckie’s chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away."

The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?" [More]

Raisins can be deadly to dogs

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:03:00 -0400

Article sent to us by Renee, written by: Laurinda Morris, DVM, Danville Veterinary Clinic, Danville, OH

This week I had the first case in history of raisin toxicity ever seen at MedVet. My patient was a 56-pound, 5 yr old male neutered lab mix that had eaten half a canister of raisins sometime between 7:30AM and 4:30PM on Tuesday. He started with vomiting, diarrhea and shaking about 1AM on Wednesday, but the owner didn't call my emergency service until 7 AM. [More]

Backpacking Cat

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:16:00 -0400

In 2008, William and Laetitia, a couple from France embarked on a long journey -- to travel 9,000 miles by foot from Miami, Florida in North America, through Central and South Americas, to the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego in Argentina with only 1 euro each per day. They have reported on their travels via a website and podcast, allowing the world to follow them along the way.

Two months into their trip, the couple was joined by a patient, sweet cat who has since accompanied them on the road. Young Couple and Backpacker Cat See the Americas - Urlesque - Internet Trends, Viral Videos, Memes and Web Culture

Great story, many thanks to Cheryl (Catlady)!
