Have you ever wondered what our pets would say if they could talk? Someone has. They put together these vids for our viewing pleasure.
This poor dog…
If Our Pets Could Talk
Friday Night Cat Blogging with ravens and a woozle
It’s time for the boys to shine.
May the 4th be with you
I do love Star Wars. 🙂
It’s not Star Wars, but it’s funny
Friday Night Cat Blogging and a Turtle
Good evening. It’s time for the boys to shine.
Today, we spent the day at the park. While walking around a pond, we found this lovely red eared slider with a pine cone.
Wandering around the Golden Gate
A couple weeks ago, we were wandering around the Golden Gate. Not to be confused with the bridge, the Golden Gate is the strait that connects the Bay with the Pacific Ocean. We started our wandering in the Marina District and made our way over to the cliffs above Baker Beach. We had quite a few lovely sights along the way.
We began our journey at the Wave Organ. The Wave Organ is an acoustic sculpture that was constructed near the Golden Gate Yacht Club. It consists of pipes that run down into the water and the sound is generated by the tides. It was built using remnants of old tombs and tombstones when most of the cemeteries were moved from San Francisco to Colma roughly a century ago.
While on our way back to the car from the Wave Organ, I got this picture of the bridge. It looked so lovely in the evening, that we decided to follow the sun.
The cliffs above the Golden Gate were glowing with shades of lavender. The Marin Headlands are visible in the distance, across the water.
Point Bonita Lighthouse is at the very tip of the Marin Headlands. That is a suspension bridge visible to the right of the light and it is the only access to the lighthouse.
Soon after, the sun began to set. It was the end of another glorious day in San Francisco.
It’s Easter…with kitties, updated with: where jellybeans come from…
Happy Easter everyone.
Here’s a bit of Nora
Here’s the sequel
And here is Nora’s story. It’s worth watching. Let us all give a cheer for shelter kitties.
Ok, just to keep the traditions of Easter….
Kittehs on an Easter Egg hunt.
Pssst, this happened during the Easter Egg hunt.
San Francisco at sunrise
The other day, I posted some photos of San Francisco at Night. We went back to Bernal Heights for a sunrise. It was worth the trip.
Friday Night Cat Blogging and a bird
Good evening everyone. I hope everyone has had a nice Good Friday.
Now it’s time for the boys to shine.
Here is Tito and who is he hugging?
He’s hugging Kitsy, of course
And now, for the bonus bird. It’s California Quail. It was wandering around in the arboretum at Golden Gate Park.
San Francisco at night
A few days ago near sunset, we made a trip over to Bernal Heights. It’s a perfect spot for taking pictures of The City. It’s also a great spot for watching the sunrise.
Caturday: Japan, Earthquake, Pets, and stuff
We haven’t gone on about the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. Maybe we should have done more.
Here is another happy story from the area.
I didn’t find a transcript, but there really isn’t a need for one. Just listen. About 1 minute in, you will hear what is important.
Be aware, though, that these are rare. A great many pets were left behind and it wasn’t out of choice. Many shelters around the world don’t allow pets. Many people around the world don’t have their own transportation. If you are poor or without transportation and you’re told “no pets” you don’t have much choice.
My heart aches for these people. The thought of abandoning our furry little polite kitty named Tito or our shameless nekked kitty, Kitsune is heart rending. I would rather live in my car. But…what if we had no choice? I live in an earthquake zone and always have. I know the stakes. We don’t have a dog, but the same rule would apply.
This also happened during Hurricane Katrina. So many people were demonized for leaving their pets behind when they just weren’t allowed to take them in the first place.
That said, if you can give a bit to Japan Animal Earthquake and Animal Rescue and Support, please do. You may have noticed the ad on our sidebar. It’s not there by mistake. If you have given to the humans and have no more to give, it’s understood. If you can give anything, it’s welcomed.
