http://www.youtube.com/user/BluesMamaRavenOur four pawed, howling friends are at risk again.  This is despite the recent court decision to include our furry wolf species back on the endangered list!  It's hard to believe but there are those that feel it important to eliminate these creatures at all costs.  Even if it means to be barbaric.  They don't even mind gassing wolf pups...

After my bear encounter the other night it is just very odd that I receive an email from Animal Humane about this horrifying event called Bear Baiting that goes on.  I have never heard of it till today.  The bears we have in our hood are so respectful and peaceful, the thought of them being abused in such a way hurts deeply.I searched for a good long time till I could find a video about ...

As always, I was sleeping peacefully when suddenly I am awakened by our dogs excited barking.  Usually I can tell if they are barking at a human or animal.  It sounded as if they were barking at an animal.  Not unusual.  I then heard a loud shuffling sound outside of our bedroom window.  It was loud enough to be a person walking into our backyard or it could be a b...

You know how I know this, it's by way of the many falls our family have taken thanks in part due to our beautiful and playful Collies.  When they are younger, they know not how strong and big they really are until they find themselves being yelled at.  Yes, we do holler at em once in a while.  I have been taken out from under my knees by the ole Stix fly by down the hall trick! ...

The Northern Rockies Wolf has now been added to the endangered species list as of yesterday, (August 5th, 2010), by Federal District Judge Donald W. Molloy, that also felt that it was illegal to remove Idaho and Montana wolves while maintaining the Wyoming wolf on the endangered list.  This makes it seem like a political border line and not an endangered species line.  Montana wi...

http://www.youtube.com/user/clubpenguinaddict12Some of these animal shots are funny and some are amazing.  I love the life guard in particular.  How smart is this dog!  Okay, so he doesn't know when to let go but wow, to come to the rescue of his pal, like that is very clever.  He didn't take much time struggling to get the other pooch out from within the pool, but is ...

The Great, King of the Jungle, the African Lion is considered endangered today.  Since 1950 the numbers of the African lion has dwindled to half what they were.  Today's population of this large and majestic beast is only 21,000 for all of the entire African continent.  Defenders of Wildlife.  The Lion is the most social of the wild cat family.  They live in prides.  ...

From U Tube site: He Who Walks With TigersThere are hearts and souls that touch a few of us deeply and meaningfully and there are those that are chosen for some reason to be able to reach further, and touch thousands.  Steve Irwin, the Crocodile hunter, is one of those personalities that were able to do just that. A very large soul placed here to Shepard the lives of so many of our...

I paid a visit to, "Wild Man's Corner," a delightful site about wildlife and living in the west mainly.  His article titled, "Backyard Pronghorn," while interesting reading had a few facts that were a little bit off.  He has a fun and easy writing flair so you find yourself enjoying the read, but still questioning his facts and ignoring the typo's more than once.He speaks of th...

When it comes to grooming the dogs they are so very different.  Kindr our older female tri color collie has a show dog back ground.  She was given to us by the breeder when we lost our beloved Acorn, a sable and white collie.  Kindr was used to being groomed on a regular basis.  At this household do not have the time or the expense account to groom as often as she may be used t...
