Loving Lab
The little boy is wary of the dog at first, but the Labrador keeps trying and her patience is rewarded in the end.
The tenderness shown by the Labrador is intense, she just wants to mother the little boy.
Amazing and so beautiful.
A sweet little puppy, a cute kitten or a fluffy rabbit can melt our heart in an instant, and it’s hard to resist that little bundle of fun!
But - have you thought it through? Our emotions tend to get the better of us where baby animals are concerned.
This is another one of my posts from last year which I feel compelled to re-blog as Christmas is almost upon us. Think very carefully about buying a pet at this time of the year.
I hope my newer readers find this post useful; those who have been following me for a while will have seen it before, but it's always good refresh our memory!
My post yesterday was about not buying a pet as a gift at this particular time of year - and the reasons why.
There are a few things we need to watch out for at this time of year, to keep our four legged member of the family out of harm's way.
The coldest months of the year can be a challenging time for birds, hedgehogs, squirrels and other wildlife.
Every winter between one and two thousand wild animals are brought into RSPCA wildlife centres suffering from dehydration, hunger and cold. As a result, the charity is giving nature lovers some great tips on how to help. Here are seven simple things you can do…
I was in the middle of surgery when my colleague walked out and said, get ready for an emergency caesarean. Layla,a 12 month old Great Dane, had been scheduled for a pregnancy ultrasound later that afternoon. Her owner had wanted to check how many puppies were present and to make sure the pregnancy was going well.
Overnight, Layla went into labour..

You find something ‘festive’ that you would like to fit into
It seems quite small, but you’re QUITE SURE that in recent years, you’ve worn this size. So you work with it . . .
You try it on different ways . . .
from different ways you examine yourself
Finally, you admit that it does feel “A LITTLE TIGHT”
Someone offers you a larger size, which you find highly insulting
I mean, it might be a tight fit, but you still look GOOD!

Although not in it’s direct path, the eclipse still cast an unusual shadow over my own area which is much further south. The light just after dawn that morning was very strange as I sat watching it with my morning coffee outside on the patio. There was a kind of silver effect all over the houses and bush-land across from me, and everything was eerily still. The cows in the field were all lying down under the trees. . . they would normally be grazing at that time of the morning, but not one of them was standing, no bellowing, everything was strangely silent around me. I guess they must have realized something incredulous was happening too!
I was so enthralled and mesmerized by it all, I never even thought of taking any pictures. However, I found the above one courtesy of Mike Salway Photography which says it all much more than I ever could.
According to Wikipedia:
"Sexting is the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photographs, primarily between mobile phones."
In Switzerland, some serious sexting is going on.
Cows are sending these "come hither" text messages to their farmers.
Yes, you read that right.
The farmers are getting text messages from their cows.
Apparently, it's not that easy to tell when a cow is in heat.
Sexting from . . . . Cows

Snow on gum trees – an unusual sight!
It does snow in some parts of Australia, but only in limited areas compared to the entire area of the continent, and there are Ski Resorts catering for those who love to ski.
Winter time sees excellent snowfalls for skiing in the Snowy Mountains region of south eastern New South Wales and north eastern Victoria. Several of Australia’s main snow resorts include the Kosciuszko National Park in NSW (Charlotte’s Pass, Thredbo), and Victoria (Mt Bogong, Fall’s Creek, Mt Hotham).
The Bureau of Meteorology says snow falls have occurred right along the Great Dividing Range and as far north as Queensland’s Granite Belt. It’s fairly unusual to get snow this time of year around the southern parts of Queensland.
Puzzled kangaroo in snowy Australia – “What’s all this white stuff?
It must have given our native wildlife a bit of a shock!

The Rescue
Please watch this random act of kindness clip of a South African motorcyclist who stopped in the middle of an endurance race to rescue a calf drowning in a canal.
How amazing that this man, Johan Gray should stop in the middle of an endurance race, to help this poor little calf.
What a wonderful man he is – with a big heart!
