Ural Owls, Estonia

She looks sweet grooming her chick, but don’t mess with mom’s nest: Ural owls are aggressively territorial. “I’ve made an ‘agreement’ with the females that the price to band and measure one nestling is six hard punches on the head,” says Finnish ornithologist Pertti Saurola.
Pickles the Puppy
Meet Pickles. She is my friends Mastiff/boxer. The sweetest giant headed thing you will ever meet. I thought she would grow into that head, but it just kept getting bigger, along with the rest of her. She is about 90 lbs now and solid muscle. I was playing tug with her the other day (big mistake on my part), and she almost dragged me across the room. They are thinking of getting another one and naming him or her, “Relish.” You just have to love it!

They say that cats sleep about 18 hours of the day but Muffy probably sleeps 23. Now that is a job that I would like to have. We were trying to create a counting book with Muffin and the Snowballs one season (here is Muffin with 3 and Muffin with 4), but I ran out of Snowballs. The cats you may not recognize with him in some of the pictures are: on the left, Gertrude, she passed in 2007, and on the right, Zachary, who passed in 2010. I don’t know what it is about sleeping in my pocketbooks, but it sure can not be comfortable. Those cats sure love FISH TV in our zoo.

I thought I would share some pictures on what I am calling “Furry Foto Friday.” What is your cutest foto of your furry friends? Is your camera 98% animal pictures? Do you keep fuzzy ones too, just because you like what they were doing?

All year long I have seen blogs hopping. I have identified 4 days of the week for pet hops:
I am trying to figure out what a Blog Hop really is. From what I can tell it is a list of blog posts with a related theme all tied to each other. One blog acts as the host of the list of links, called a Linky, on their page. There sometimes are rules that must be followed on that page too. (Am I getting this right?) You add your info to the Linky and then repost the Linky on your blog to promote the hop. I think I like this idea. Do I have to go back to the first blog in the hop, or will any hopper blog do? Not totally sure yet, but I think I may try to be a bunny and hop on some of those days in my new year (remember yesterday was our first blogevarsary).

They are not bunnies but they do hop.
