Temporary Housing

The "granimals" are visiting us for a few weeks while John and Deanna go to Ireland on vacation.  We brought them home last weekend, Petunia the Mini-Lop bunny, Izzie the cocker spaniel, and my two M&M’s were stuffed in the car, Ryan said the interior smelled like a pet store.

They were good little travelers, though, and now Petunia is ensconced in the shade under the honeysuckle vines in the patio.  Hubby improvised her a little house which she seems to like, and unfortunately, because neither rabbit are neutered, she and Butterbean won’t get to know each other.  I don’t think John would appreciate baby bunnies, Deanna, however would love them!

And such is life in Heavensville this glorious May day…

A daily dose of cuteness…

I answered the phone a bit ago, and this little voice said, “Jan, do you want to see my dress?”  It was Larkin, my buddy Trish’s granddaughter.  Trish brought her over and I snapped her picture on the golf cart.  Isn’t she just precious???

And just think, in another month, I’m going to have one of these!!!

A special daily dose of cuteness…

At a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger  cubs..

Unfortunately, Due to complications in the pregnancy,  the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size,  they died shortly after birth.

The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health,  Although physically she was fine.  The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.

After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother.  The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment.  Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species.  The only orphans' that could be found quickly,  were a litter of weanling pigs.  The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger...  Would they become cubs or pork chops?

Take a look...you won't believe your eyes…
