I was looking at a board on Pinterest when I came across an image of a deformed tiger. Curious, I clicked on it. It turns out that Kenny the tiger (Info: The Pet Collective) was the result of deliberate inbreeding. He was physically deformed and mentally limited. I’m not sure…
Not quite a week ago we had an unexpected visitor and I had to write about it. Today, yet another grasshopper made his presence known to us. This time it wasn’t a brown one, but a green one that looked just like a young leaf. We first spotted him on…
When I got up today and opened my bedroom door, I got quite a shock. There was this BIG dark thing squirming around on the floor. It scared the crap out of me at first because I didn’t know what it was. My first thought was that it might be…
I’ve been having a crisis of faith lately. There are things that I have believed in for a long time, but have not come to fruition, and so I am losing my faith in them. When you put all of your hope and thought and energy into something that never…
A few days ago read a post where someone was talking about their fear of birds. I feel bad for them, but at the same time I think that it’s a bit of a silly fear to have. However, we all have reasons for our fears, and many times they…
It’s the end of my work day and I figured I’d close out with something cute. I’m going to share pictures of some of my pets with you. Some are animals I have now, and some are my past fur, feather and scale babies. I hope you enjoy them. I’ve…
I’ve been eating a lot healthier lately, and that means a lot of vegetables. I’ve felt kind of bad about throwing the scraps out and wanted to do something with them. Then I had a great thought: bird food! Why shouldn’t my little feathered buddy eat better too? I already…
I wrote this blog down a week or so ago, and didn’t post it because it seemed too random. (As if that had ever stopped me before.) But after seeing things in the news about the trash crisis in Italy and other stories, I’ve decided to go ahead and post…
Most people think that recycling is something that is done only at recycling stations. However, there’s plenty of recycling and reuse that you can do from the comfort of your own home. A few simple steps can have you on your way to recycling at home and having an impact…
Yesterday Eric and I were sitting outside on the deck trying to enjoy the outdoors for a bit before the storm hit us. I don’t know how he even saw it, but he said he caught movement near a tree out in the back yard. He said he saw a…
I was just outside taking a break and a couple of the local squirrels were out in the yard. I love watching the squirrels, and all the other animals that find their way into our yard and the surrounding area. Squirrels can be really cute. I enjoy watching them bounce…
A lot of people out there are against animal cruelty. I’m right there with them. Well, that is until they say that in order to be kind to animals we should stop eating them and become vegan. That’s where they lose me. As I’ve said many times, humans are omnivores,…
I was out roaming around the yard taking photos and the coolest thing happened. I was in the neighbor’s driveway and realized that the pebbles were moving! Turns out, they weren’t pebbles, they were little frogs. The land is flooded over that way, and we can hear the frogs at…
There’s been research for while a while proving that having a pet can lower blood pressure and have other benefits. Dogs are taken to nursing homes and to sick children to help them feel better. Petting and caring for an animal is good for your health. They’re good for your…
