Animal odd couples.

I watched a programme on BBC1  last night about how animals form relationships with other species, it was amazing some of the bonds formed it made me cry in a nice way it was so cute part 2 is on next Thursday so will put up another post then.

These videos will make you feel warm inside.




I couldn't find anymore video previews but found some stills.


Orangutan (Hanuman) and dog (Roscoe) in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Hanuman used to take Roscoe for a walk.


Capybara (Cheesecake) and her puppies in Rocky Ridge Refuge, Arkansas, USA.

Camilla the Giraffe and Charles the Kudu at Glen Afric, Broedestroom, South Africa.


Polar Bear and the Huskies.

Watching the program made me realise how remarkable animals are the way they accept each other and form inter species relationships yet humans can't even get along with there own species It's enough to make you ashamed to be human.

Part 2 next Thursday.

Poop Patrol #Scoop That Poop.


To be perfectly honest we shouldn't even be having this conversation or blog hop, as a nation of dog lovers it should be second nature to scoop the poop after all when you buy a dog you should be prepared. I don't know about a nation of dog lovers it's a pity we're not a nation of intelectuals who understand what keeping a dog consists of.


Unfortunately this time of year things get worse, with the leaves falling off the trees covering the poop people think out of site out of mind would they be so lenient if there children fell face down in the poop or putting it in there mouths and ended up going blind because of there laziness. Toxocara AKA Toxocariasis caused by round worm and the chances are people who don't pick up after there pets don't worm them either.






Dad thinks the heading Poop Patrol is very fitting because every time we go out for a walk he says it's like looking for land mines lurking in the under growth just waiting to be stood on.



Signs are no good if they're not enforced, and that's where the problems lie people know there's know one to enforce the fines. 


And before we know it we will be seeing more signs like that above, which only serves to punish law abiding responsible dog owners.

Even the Dogs Trust is raising awareness.

Paws for the Philippines and all those affected by Typhoon Haiyan.

Our thoughts are with all those affected by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, I'm sure by now we've all seen the destruction caused by Typoon Haiyan in the Philippines the images we've seen have been heartbreaking, and getting aid out to the remote areas is proving to be an uphill struggle but the rescuers are doing a sterling job and relief aid will get through. Anything's possible when we all join forces and put our minds to it.

We're all praying for the victims and survivors.
