A Crow and a Kitten

Pete — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 14:53:19 +0000

I know it’s been forever since I posted anything. I think it’s about time I do post something and try to get back into the groove here.
I just ran into this video and it’s one of those things you don’t get to see very often. A crow mothering a kitten as if it were her own “crow chicks”. I’m sure that isn’t the correct term but you’ll get the idea.

Dolphins are smart!

Pete — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 17:46:36 +0000

I always knew dolphins were smart! I posted a while ago a similar story (one of many listed in the current article) about the intelligence of dolphins. It truly amazes me reading the observations made by the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Mississippi and hearing about
Kelly (the business minded dolphin) along with other amazing things.

On a beautiful day in 1997, researchers working at Pereirinha beach, off the southern coast of Brazil, observed a little dog going into the sea and swimming towards the dolphins. To their surprise, the dolphins approached the dog and then started throwing it into the air. The dog seemed to enjoy the ‘game’ and continued playing with the dolphins for more than an hour. From then on, different dogs were seen trying to interact with the dolphins.

Read how smart these dolphins really are!

Never gonna give…

Major lack of updates lately, I’ve been busy and well, you know how that goes. But no worries, I won’t give you up! lol

Not sure how some of you are prepping up for this summer’s gas hike. But with $4 a gallon around the corner, I just equipped myself with a couple of Kymco scooters. (his-People 250 / hers- Bet and Win 250) My wife and I are extremely excited about scootering around this summer! More details about my experiences with the scooters in the future.

Sex toy for your dog – HotDoll

Pete — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 18:20:55 +0000

Who says we are getting obsessed with our pets? Doesn’t everyboby have sex toys for thier dogs?
I ran into this today and thought.. WTF?!

What you see here is a sex doll for dogs, and yes, it does accommodate all sizes.
So when little Fifi starts humping the pillows, you can throw the HotDoll at him and everything will be good in the world again.

Crocodile with arm in mouth – Yummy!

Pete — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 17:35:51 +0000

A few days ago I read about a Veterinarian Chang Po-yu who was reaching through iron bars to remove tranquilizer darts from a huge (400 lbs) crocodile, which was not exactly snoozing, when the crocodile bit down and took the guy’s arm off.
I think this will make anyone who currently treats these dangerous beasts think twice before sticking thier arm anywhere.

From the pics shown, it looked like the croc got the better half below his elbow. Pretty gruesome, you are warned!

Take a look at a crocodile with an arm in its mouth

The Skype offices tour

Would you like to tour one of Skype’s new offices? From looking at the video, it seems like it’s just as fun to work there as it is at Google.
A relaxed environment with pets!
I need a job like this! Doesn’t everybody?

Check out Skype’s story on this

With Twirl-A-Squirrel, you no longer need to worry about those pesky squirrels getting into your bird food.

Another amazing dog!

Pete — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 16:35:35 +0000

I run into some cool videos every now and then about some animals that are truly unique, this is one of them.
Faith, the amazing 2 legged dog that walks and runs upright like a human.

Skidboot the dog

A wonderfully talented dog and a great story put together in this video. Worth the watch.

A heart-warming segment from Texas Country Reporter, with Bob Phillips.

Leaping Lizards!

Pete — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 15:14:28 +0000

I LMAO when I watched this video! Hilarious!
A special guest on this show brings reptiles. While talking about a particular snake, a lizard jumps off the table in front of them onto the host’s jacket. He looks down and practically soils himself and falls over. He then gets back up and calmly asks the animal guy to kindly take the lizard off of him. LOL
