PupStarts . . . Beginnings Done Right Here at the Land of PureGold, I often come to meet people after life has gone wrong, their dogs diagnosed with major health conditions or cancer. It is a sad, sad time for sure, and I am sending out far more sympathy cards than you can imagine. But, [...]

Just called pharmacist hubby at work after reading this scary article. This virus is a mix of human, pig and bird strains that prompted WHO to meet Saturday to consider declaring an international public health emergency — a step that could lead to travel advisories, trade restrictions and border closures. Spokesman Gregory Hartl said a [...]

Last month, some Belgian folks pulled an Improv Everywhere to “Do Re Mi” in a train station. It is really fabulous. Well, today I discovered a 100 “Single Ladies” Dance in Picadilly Circus, their trying to recreate Beyonce’s famous leggy dance in a similar improv type fashion. I don’t think it is nearly as good, [...]

Lawrence O’Donnell takes on torture myths – Updated 4x

This is not a pleasant topic, but, sadly, one that needs to be discussed. When folks say someone was tortured or treated like an animal, I take objection to that. I wouldn’t treat an animal any differently than a human being. They both are thinking and feeling beings. Abuse to anything is wrong, it is [...]

TORTURE

I have to admit that I am afraid of my own shadow, and trust me, given being under 5 feet tall, even my shadow is not too formidable. I am also unable to tolerate (or even watch) the abuse of one towards another, whether it be person vs. person, or animal vs. animal, or person [...]

This youngster from Wales is pretty good. And, it is interesting that Simon stops him from singing an Amy Winehouse song, knowing that it was definitely not the right one for him.
Penguins in Love – Love That Dare Not Squeak Its Name
Posted in Contemplation, tagged gay animal love, penguins on April 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This story is just so fascinating. I did not know that this kind of behavior has been seen before in other zoos. If only we could learn the same kind of lessons. Another pair, male chinstrap penguins named Roy and Silo, refused the companionship of female penguins but seemed determined to become penguin parents anyway. [...]

Gina Spadafori, noted author and columnist, has just become a grandmom, so to speak. Her beautiful girl, Kenzie, delivered her first litter a little over a week ago.
