Dancing Dog and the Moon

Well, the video has been disabled, and I can't post it on here. I will just give you the link to You-Tube. Kim Komando had a tweet about how she loved this dog. I really liked him too.

Britain's Got Talent - Gina and Chandi

I went to the drugstore last night, and when I came out, I saw this huge bright light. I thought, is that the moon or just a big light? When I saw that it was the moon, I knew I had to go home and get my camera. I live down a hill and could not see it from my house. So I became a moon chaser.




You can't really see the shining light around it very well. The white light is one in the shopping area.





I just love taking pictures of the moon and have many photos under the Label Moon.

God's Love and NOAH

I sent this sweet email to a friend, and she loved it. She fixed it so I could post it on my blog. Thanks, Peggy.

GOD'S LOVE displayed through a special bird, NOAH

[this photo is not NOAH]

[The following Story comes from

Bob and Georganne Lenham of Wild Rose Rescue Ranch in Texas, home of Noah the Pigeon

even though many have received it in emails or seen it on the internet]

Wild Rose Rescue Ranch is part of a small team of rehabilitators in east Texas that specialize in different species of wildlife. The 50-acre ranch is a habitat for deer, fawn, rabbits, squirrels, armadillos, skunks, raccoons, horses, possums and birds.

[not the ones in the story either]

These little bunnies, about 6 days old, were attacked by a dog and orphaned. Two out of the litter of five did not survive, and these three were not doing very well.

Enter Noah—the non-releasable, one-legged homing pigeon/rock dove that we have here in rehab.

Noah kept going over to the bunny cage and looking in—even sleeping in front of the door to the cage. Then, 2 days ago, I only counted 2 bunnies in the cage, so I hurriedly picked Noah up from the front of the cage so I could look inside. And to my surprise—there was the tiny bunny—under Noah's wing—sound asleep!

The bunny had crawled through the cage—preferring a featherbed, no doubt. Now, they are all together, and the bunnies are doing GREAT. When the bunnies scoot underneath Noah's feathers, he extends his wings out to surround them—and they snuggle. When one of them moves and they start sticking out here and there, he gently pushes them back under him with his beak!

Update on Noah the pigeon:

"After finding many posts online featuring Noah and the bunnies and reading about the many lives he has touched (his story has been forwarded around the world) we thought we'd post a follow-up and a few new photos.

We knew there was something special about Noah the moment we saw him.

Although the bunnies seem to be his favorite, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the Wild Rose Rescue Ranch ...

Now, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the ranch...

How wonderful it is to have a full-time soft-feathered nurturer here at the rescue ranch! He cuddles with all the babies as they snuggle under his warm feathers...and he "coos" as if singing them to sleep with a lullaby." ~ Bob & Georgeanne Lenham

Noah is truly, truly a God-send.


He will cover you with His feathers
And under His wings you will find refuge.
Psalm 91:4

Please look for the new book "Noah and The Bunnies" to be released in Summer 2010 from "A String of Pearl's Tails." Each book in the series tells the story of a wildlife baby here at Wild Rose Rescue Ranch.

Note from Georgeanne:

"The book “Noah And The Bunnies” will be available soon (around April 2010). Our website is under construction and should be up and running within a few weeks. (wildroserescueranch.com), so please check it out.

Until our website is up, you can read about Noah on the website:http://www.arcforwildlife.com . “Noah And The Bunnies” is book one in a series of stories about Noah and his amazing love for all babies. I am taking orders now, so feel free to email me at lenhamw@aol.co

There are 3 books that will be availalbe in 2010: “Noah And The Bunnies”, “Noah, The Dove”, and a Cd around April, 2010"

So Cozy

I like my new bed.


Uh oh, somebody got it.


This is a pretty nice place too.

I'll sneak up here while Mom is at her computer.


So comfy at this window ~


It's pretty cold out here.


I might want to go back in.



I'm staying where it's warm and cozy.


Don't worry, Jewels has plenty of places to sleep, like in my computer chair. I put the pan on the stove to protect it. She knows she's not supposed to be there. As you can see, they rule the house.

A Funny Update

Recently I posted about my little old lady gray cat and how She Rules, sleeping in various places. I decided to try to cover my stove, so she would not scratch it up. I was really amazed when I saw this.








I can yell, say no, etc., but it does not phase her. Well, she will jump down sometimes now when I loudly tell her no. She seems to love to go there when I am in this room on the computer, and all is quiet. I have always had dogs, and cats are a mess!

She Rules

I don't know what I'm going to do with this little old lady outdoor cat, Jewels, that I have taken in. She wants to go from one place to another.




So I bought her a bed that she liked for awhile.




Then I saw someone examining it and sure enough, Honey, my wildcat took over.




The other day I could not find Jewels, and since a lower door was open a little, she was in a kitchen cabinet. Then I found her here on top of the hutch.




Lately she has been on a bookcase in the hall, but she really seems to enjoy this cozy place.




She is a very disobedient child. Since I don't want her scratching up what I call my new stove, I guess I'll have to close her in the living room and hall. These two are really a mess and are too expensive; but they do keep me company.

Looked out the living room window and she's at it again ~



Little Flower Garden ~



Pretty little flower came up from a year or two ago.






My rescued wildcat, Honey, on the picture window ~ trying to keep him in ~



Always looking up with camera in hand ~ Sky was not that blue.






My "little old lady" Jewels clawing on the neighbor's wooden edging ~



I was talking to my neighbors last evening, and they told me they had flowers blooming.
One of their Dahlias ~



I could not believe this yellow fern!



A Mophead Hydrangea ~ They said it is white, then green, then brown.





Thanks for looking at my pictures.

Cat Takes a Bath

I think this is the funniest thing. I believe the cat is just drinking water. And he keeps looking behind him, probably thinking, I wonder if I am doing something I'm not supposed to be doing.

A Little Surprise

When I've been to the grocery store or Wal-Mart, I park my car close to the front door to unload. And sometimes it stays there overnight. Well, when I opened the front door, I was surprised to see my little old lady cat, Jewels, one morning sleeping away.




This is how she looked when I said "What are you doing up there?" Notice her little mouth is in that pouting position.



She really has that mouth in an unhappy pose here. :) Poor baby, sometimes I can't keep her in at night, though I do try. She has been an outdoor cat, and loves to be outside.

Cute Video of the Day

I found this cute video in Kim Komando's newsletter. She describes it here:

"This YouTube video is just too cute. Two things are sure to put a smile on your face – babies and dogs. But what happens when you put the two together?

In this video you’ll see a pug pushing a baby stroller. That’s it. And really, what more do you need? It’s two and half minutes of pure cute. This is sure to brighten anyone’s day.

The pug’s name is Jenny. And she lives in Portland, OR. She’ll take you on a tour of Portland’s hotspots. You’ll see Waterfront Park, Union Station, The Grotto and more. That’s neat."

Birdbath and Chipmunks

Today I was going to show you some flowers and a little video of chipmunks playing at my neighbor's birdbath. But I can't get the video to upload. They were running back and forth in front of the the birdbath and eating birdseed.
My little cat, Jewels was watching with me. One little chipmunk walked right up to us, and I had to try to stop Jewels from chasing and catching her! It ran back into a gutter drain, and Jewels was really looking for it.

Here is a little picture of a chipmunk on my front porch last year.

Thanks for looking at my pictures.
