Be carefull pet lover on christmas

If you have pets, remove or trim the lower branches or tree of Christmas Tree on this Christmas(every).
If you are unable to super wise the place where the tree has been placed, keep pets out from the room. Cats are notorious for leaping onto Christmas trees, especially when pursued by another pet.

Thanks Sarah.

Bristol Live Tiger 24 hour web cam...

I was amazed at how popular the Gorilla web cam at Bristol Zoo was with everyone here and how you grew to Love 'Jock' and Co.

Now It is the turn of the Bengal Tigers. Odie will love this :wah:
A new 24 hr live web cam on a family of 5 tigers at the 'Noah's Ark' Zoo in another part of Bristol. This one is even nearer to my home and I am so lucky that I can visit them regually.

I do hope this web cam is working as I've loaded this at night. I'll check in the morning to make sure. If all goes well, I hope you will come to love these Tigers as much as I do.

I posted a pic of Mr O's mate last week who had caught an almost record breaking Barbel.
This morning, he beat his personal best and landed this magnificent beast from a secret location on the River Avon in Bristol early this morning. It has beaten the last one by 2lb and the celebrations will go on long into the night.
A Fantastic catch that Mr O is extremely jealous over. Click to enlarge pic.

Some months ago, A woman well know for neglecting her animals, moved house and abandoned a tiny Jet black kitten aged approx 10 weeks old. She began to appear every night when I went out to the foxes because she knew there would be food there. She was pitifully thin and so nervous that she would not come near me. One night, she was so hungry, she pounced on the fox food and I stood and watched astonished as she wrestled a chicken leg out of a Vixens mouth and won.
I gradually got round her, and she began to let me stroke her and then pick her up in my arms and cuddle her. I hated leaving her out there all night but had no choice as Mulder who thinks he's a Rottwieler was having none of It. If he saw her in the garden, he would charge her with full intent of doing her harm. Many a cross word went between myself and Mr O at my suggestions to bring her into the house. He has just had too many years of my adopting odd strays for what was meant to be a short time until they were re-homed, only to have them for life.
My elderly neighbour was letting her sleep in his conservatory during the day but didn't want to encourage her due to the amount of nesting birds he has in his garden and prized Koi Carp in the pond.
The weather started turning so I put blankets under the second car for her and fed her under there to keep the rain off her.
Mulder did his damndest to deter her, spitting, snarling, growling and charging her but she was not giving up.
As each night went by, she got nearer and nearer to the front door. Mulder could see her through the glass and suffered many a headache after charging and banging his head on the glass.
Well, she's finally won. I opened the door tonight to go out to the foxes and as I opened the door, she strolled in as if she owned the place.

We have 3 Cats now :(:(:(

HA..... You all laughed and mocked..

When I posted that my foxes arrive bang on 1 am but would arrive bang on Midnight as soon as the clocks went back... some of you scoffed :wah:

Does anyone have a rational explanation for this?

Sure enough, the night the clocks went back, they were there at Midnight instead of 1 in the morning, and have been ever since.

I've worked with foxes for years and I just don't get It.

Any Idea's ??? :confused::confused:

For Animal lovers . . . . .

Hi all you animal Lovers,

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting FREE FOOD donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals for free'. This doesn't cost you a thing.
Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Please pass it along to people you know. I did. :)

If you ever wondered what all the fuss is over... this is It..

As many of you know, Mr O and his pals are Barbel hunters.
Most of the Fuss is due to low numbers of Barbel, the difficulty in getting one hooked and the sheer power and might of the fish when being 'Played' into the net.
Many stories are abound of how these fish fight and Mr O had one recently that got away after It managed to straighten out a forged steel hook.

This Is Mr O's mate who caught this very near record breaker on the banks of The River Avon this morning. This is the fella they have all been after. Click on pic to enlarge.

Why chimps smile and dogs cry

Ian — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:03:51 GMT

I was inspired to post this after reading Oscars post:

http://www.forumgarden.com/forums/pe...ellow-ape.html

Is it human conceit to attribute emotions to animal actions, or are emotions basic to life on earth? Wildlife filmmakers and scientists make a convincing argument for the latter in this gripping film, Narrator by Sigourney Weaver.

this is one hour of what is a two hour documentary please enjoy :)
