Meet Fellow Horse Lovers!

Since we’re obviously all here on this website because we love animals, wouldn’t it make sense for some of those animal lovers to hang out together?

I mean, when I decided to marry my husband, I had to be sure he loved animals too and that he would appreciate my love for them and to help them and this planet we call Earth!

That goes for all animal lovers, I believe – How long have those “Love Me, Love My Cat” T-shirts been out? Since at least the 70s, I think!

Anyway, I say all of this to say that I stumbled upon a cool website today for Equestrian Singles called equestrian cupid.

Basically, horse lovers get to meet up with horse lovers and find someone they could fall in love with based on this thing we all have in common – loving animals – in this case, people who have a passion for horses!

I usually surf right past sites like this – dating sites, that is – well, because I’m married, but also because I think a lot of them are bogus or x-rated and I don’t appreciate that, so I would never forward someone over there.

Also, some of them are very expensive to join, from what I hear from some of my frustrated, single friends. This site is different – they have a FREE sign-up.

However, this one was too unique to me and I thought that many of my horse lovers out there could find that someone special!

Let me know if you do – I love being cupid! LOL…

Pet Stores Not Selling Seasonal Animals

I don’t know about in your area, but in our area of Niagara Falls, Canada, the pet stores are putting their foot down!

When I went in to get fish food the other day, I noticed that their “resident” bunny that’s been there for a while was nowhere to be seen.

I always say hello to him before I leave because he’s just so darn cute!

I asked one of the girls where he went and she said that he was in back. I asked her why, and she said that they are not allowed to sell “seasonal” animals.

For a specified amount of time before and a short time after each Holiday that has something to do with an animal, they won’t sell that animal.

For Example: Bunnies, ducklings or chicks around Easter, or black cats around Halloween.

Actually, that’s a great idea…

More often than not, these animals are bought and then not properly taken care of afterwards.

They were an Read more

Sheep Rule – Tales From The Roads Of Ireland
By Miriam Susong

“There are sheep in the road!” she screamed. “What?” I replied. With her voice ten octaves higher, my daughter Sarah yelled, “There are sheep on the road!” Calmly, I retorted, “I don’t see any shee . . .p!” “Wow, that was a close one,” I exclaimed as I slammed on the brakes. Sure as anything, there were sheep in the road. They were really on the side of the road, but from where my daughter sat, I guess they looked like they were closer to the middle of the road. There was a fold, (I guess you call them a fold . . . they did in Biblical times). They had big x’s painted on them. Pink x’s. Blue x’s. Someone we met explained that the color of the x’s designated what farm the sheep belonged to.

Sheep lover that I am, I stopped the car and I begin to Read more

Caribou/Reindeer in Alaska
By Michael Russell

Reindeer are domesticated caribou in North America and are mainly bred for meat production. Although there are seven subspecies of caribou, Alaska only has the Barren ground subspecies. Wild caribou are called reindeer in Europe; they are the same species as normal caribou; however, there are some differences between the two of them. Reindeer or caribou have heavier bodies and shorter legs due to different breeding methods; this helps produce the most meat. Wild caribous’ legs are longer with smaller bodies, which provide for a more efficient migration.

Caribou are a species of deer and both males and females have antlers; males weigh 400 pounds and females weigh 200 pounds. Caribou can live to 15 years old in their habitat and to 20 years old in captivity. They have a thick coat during the winter and it sheds in the spring, but still shields them from water. Fur that repels water is useful when herds travel through large rivers. Their hooves are concave and their edges harden when winter arrives which help them walk on icy surfaces. They soften during the summer for walking on spongy tundra. There is a tendon in a caribou’s ankle, which alters the hooves when walking. This causes the hooves to gain a larger surface area while on spongy tundra.

Alaska has more than Read more
