Need a Hug? – Take 1

My friend Marsha Koenig sent me these in an email. I melted into a puddle. I thought YOU might need a hug, too…

Cats Play Pounce

ex-askthetrainer-com

AsktheTrainer.com

I’m not the only one using my new exercise ball.

The dogs laborious walk around it, or nudge it carefully out of the way of their bed, which is beneath the entertainment center. They’re pretty leery of it, mostly.

The cats, however, used it as a play opportunity yesterday, and had my husband and me laughing out loud. :0)

My husband noticed it first. Abby, our older tortoiseshell cat, was on ‘our’ side of the ball. She was looking at the ball funny for some reason. All of a sudden Smoke, our short-haired gray cat, suddenly leaped from behind the ball onto Abby. They rolled for a second, then split up, opting to try it again. Abby didn’t leap, but was totally engaged in the game. Smoke leaped a couple more times until Abby hissed at her. The next time, the ball suddenly came at Abby, running right into her, causing her to leave the area.

I swear I heard Smoke giggle…

Allan Dixon Selfies – Take 4

ad10

Allan Dixon is a 29-year-old from Ireland who has a knack for making animals feel comfortable in his presence. So much so, that he’s been able to ‘talk’ all manner of animals into posing for a selfie with him! He says a selfie can take “anywhere between five minutes to three hours of being in the animal’s presence. It depends on the animal and how safe it feels.” “What the photos don’t show is the amount of dirt that ends up on my clothes because of being on the ground. But the results are worth it.”” – Olivia Adams, trendingly.com

Nat’l Geographic Photos – Take 4

I’m happy to show you some of the many classic photos taken by the National Geographic photographers. I’m amazed – and grateful – at the lengths to which they will go to get a once in a lifetime photo.

This whole series of animals with the camera are priceless, aren’t they?

My thanks, again, to Marsha Koenig for sending me the email with these pictures.

A New Member of Our Family

Freckles

Freckles

Freckles is gone. I have no clue why he died, but he was gone suddenly two days ago. I’ll miss him. Even though some would say, “He’s just a fish. Fish don’t have personalities,” they’re wrong. Freckles came immediately to the side of the bowl I was on whenever I came near. He would ‘play’ with my finger on the side of the glass, blowing bubbles at me. I’ll miss that.

We now have a new member of the family, Angie.

Angie is an angel fish, as different from Freckles as I could get without getting a fish that needed salt water.  She’s skittish right now, startling when I come close to the bowl.

angie1

Please say “Hi” to Angie and tell her that she’s been adopted by some reasonably nice people who really love their fish. Maybe she’ll calm down and decide this isn’t so bad after all…
