Pet Monologues

Can anyone identify the birds in these beautiful photos? We’d like to talk about them a little more.

source fotografia-przyrodnicza note: this post can also be seen at friday ark and Landthebird#72 hosted by Ecobirder where we learn from this post that the bird sharing a branch with the eagle is a magpie. Mike Bergin at 10,000 Birds also identifies the magpie. The expert contributions are appreciated…

Dolphin appears to guide whales to sea

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP)—Most days, Moko the bottlenosed dolphin swims playfully with humans at a New Zealand beach. But this week, it seems, Moko found his mojo. Witnesses described Wednesday how they saw the dolphin swim up to two stranded whales and guide them to safety. Read the rest of this entry »

We have a dog beach nearby. What is amazing — the dog beach gawkers outnumber the playful pooches. It’s not unusual for the ice cream/beverage vendors to set up camp. Having so many sizes and personalities in such close quarters does produce quite the entertainment. Surprisingly very few owners step in to separate their animals, they usually let them alone.

PM has started a series call Dog Beach and we look to YOU to send us your dog beach photos. If you register you can upload your images by yourself. Or you can send us a message via the contact link.

Specifications: Images must be 400px wide. 72dpi. Each post will be limited to approximately 2.5MG equal to about seven images.

Visit our first two posts from China and David from Long Beach, California. Life’s a beach! Woof!
Dog Beach. Long Beach California #2 and Dog Beach. Long Beach California #1

Part #2 in a series of “Dog Beach” images from China and David.

We had friends come in from Long Beach, California over the weekend. They brought a CD with pictures they took on their dog beach. This exchange sparked a concept for a new series on PM. “Dog Beach” will be series of photos that YOU send to us hopefully. We have a dog beach nearby but it is a bit cold so our submissions are two months away. But don’t YOU wait! Here are photos taken by China and David.

What do you get when you cross Daffy Duck and Luke Skywalker?
Rubber duckies!

At first glance it seemed that these toys would fall into the “green” category as they were advertised as shutting off when not in the water. But no, when the battery dies you throw it on the plastic water bottle heap. “Running on a non-replaceable 45-hour battery, all are ready to swim around and around, and to save battery power, they stop whatever it is that propels their watery wanderings as soon as you take them out of the H2O.” Luke Pondwalker, Princess Layer, and—it’s Pondtrooper. Not that I made a bee-line to find these cute things—I was looking for information on Macbook Air.

If you think the Pug can clean your monitor, wait until you see the cat clean your monitor.

The cat’s tongue…

When our cat scarfs his moist food placed on his chrome Wetnoz serving-plate, the surface looks like a mirror. There is nothing left, just a haze-free shine. You could not get the same results with sandpaper, yet that is what his tongue can feel like on your face in the middle of the night.

A Grooming Tool and More
A cat’s ability to groom itself is the result of numerous knobs called papillae on the surface of a cat’s tongue. Located at the tongue’s center, the papillae form backward-facing hooks containing large amounts of keratin, the same material found in human fingernails. These hooks provide the abrasiveness a cat needs for self-grooming. Read the rest of this entry »

Can this be done? Anyone?

Are you sick of cleaning out litter boxes or wanting to show off fluffy’s party manners? Anyone feel this is a little too much information for the cat?

We are reminded that Robert DeNiro trained Jinxey. Until we know more, we are just the messenger here.

The above information assumes a new product and the following is the old fashioned way which may assume a therapist. Read the rest of this entry »
