September 21 — Mark the following Puruvian holiday on your calendar.

by john kass
Americans are busy hissing and scratching each other’s eyes out over presidential politics. But there is one thing we can agree on—sending a few thousand U.S. troops into Peru to occupy the nation and stop Peruvians from eating all their cats.

This villainous cat-munching takes place in the fall, when otherwise gentle and kindly Peruvians gather in the village of La Quebrada, just south of Lima, to gorge on felines. They eat fried cat and stewed cat and poached cat. Also, cats prepared with various savory local spices, such as Grilled Cat with Huacatay, the pungent and tasty Peruvian black mint.

Americans have proved we’ll accept almost anything if packaged and marketed properly. We’ve recently accepted socialism just to make Wall Street happy before an election. But if there’s one thing we won’t abide, it’s a nation of cat-eaters.

The terrible Peruvian cat-eating spree has a name: La Festival Gastronomico del Gato. Or for those of you who don’t speak Spanish—the Gastronomic Festival of the Cat. Read the rest of this entry »

What a beautiful bird, so graceful and majestic.
Here comes the Eagle!!!


This one is so amazing to see the actual eagle wing span beside the swan.
The poor swan is attempting to actually escape death in the air.

The eagle is loosing his grip on the swan in this picture.



The swan falls into the water below, swims away and the eagle just looks on at his ‘lost’ prey

“Hi honey, i’m home. how was your day?”

Wow, this is more dramatic than a youtube vid!

Dog groomers, boarders, walking services, vets, shelters, pet stores, all over the world have given us good belly laughs, uncontrolled smiley’s, upon seeing the name of the business. I came across one over the weekend that inspired this post. You dirty dog. I happened to see it in Chicago. The post image is from Sandy, Oregon.

We would love to hear some of the names you wish to share with us!
