Hippos love Crocs

July 24th, 2008

Or something like that. Hippos apparently love to LICK crocs - when they are feeding! This sounds like one of those “hey guys watch this” stunts that ends unhappily.

Okaaaaay. If it were any less of an authority than National Geographic, I don’t think I’d believe it!

Have a great day and don’t forget to lick your croc!

:P

Weiner Nationals! Run Dachshunds Run!

July 18th, 2008

Friday Quote:

“I once decided not to date a guy because he wasn’t excited
to meet my dog. I mean, this was like not wanting to meet my
mother.”
–Bonnie Schacter


You just can’t miss this - tomorrow the Weiner Nationals are going to be on TV! For a little preview of what all the excitement is about, check out these dog videos - dachshunds on the run!

I was rolling on the floor laughing with delight by the time I was done watching these! You can find out more about the Weiner Nationals here. It’s all in fun and all for a good cause!

I couldn’t resist adding some Dachshund coloring pages to my coloring pages website to celebrate! Go Doxies!

Cats are great moms!

July 10th, 2008

I read an article this morning about a domestic house cat who adopted a red panda baby to raise. I know my cats have always been great moms, with a few very notable exceptions - and any young first time mama is allowed a few mistakes and misgivings ;) but for the most part, cats are some of the very best and most loving animal mothers I’ve ever known.

In their honor, I added a mama cat with kittens coloring page over at Color-Your-Own.com and in the process found more amazing photos of cats who had adopted other animal babies.Here’s a cat who adopted some baby skunks! What was she thinking? And here is a whole bunch of loving animal momma’s who adopted other animal babies. Not only a hen who adopted kittens, but a cat who adopted chicks. Now that really tops it all!

Have a great day!

Green roofs - and brown and white and black goats!

June 10th, 2008

Now this gave me a smile today - The Ultimate Use for a Green Roof. I wish the blogger had linked to the article or website these photos of goats on the roof are from! I think my goats would have just too much fun if I’d let them on the roof - assuming my little fatties could get their big round hinnies up there. And turf on the roof just might be the thing to keep the roofs on our barns and storage sheds in all this New Mexico wind! Talk about noisy upstairs neighbors though….

Aieee Chihuahua!

May 16th, 2008

“I hope if dogs take over the world, and they choose a king, they don’t just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.” - Jack Handy

This made me laugh like crazy! Hope it gives you a big smile today :D
