Home Invasion!
Over the past few weeks, while in bed at night we've been hearing scratching, scraping, squeaking, and squeeling coming from the walls and the ceilings...
From what? We were not entirely sure... Lions, Tigers, and Bears! Oh My!
And just this past week we've been coming home to disarray amongst our things - someone or something is invading our home when we're not looking and messing everything up!
So yesterday we set up cameras to catch images of what could possibly be going on.
And this is what we saw....

The Truth: We've known for a little while there are squirrels and raccoons living in our walls. A few days ago we came home to find our loft room in shambles.. .they had found a way IN! Yesterday, to ensure that it was indeed critters and not just Joe, our resident ghost, I set out cheese slices and crackers. When I came home they were gone. Conclusion: We indeed do have furball invaders... because ghosts do not eat cheese...

Something to think about...
This may not be such a "darling" image - but certainly something that needs to be thought about...

This is my current screen saver... such a beautiful picture. Elephants are my favourite wild animal.
Unfortunately I have lost track of where this photograph is from. If you know please drop me an email and I will give it a proper citation.

Monday Blues Beater: Pets in Costume
I just love animals dressed up in costumes! (I'm easily amused when it comes to anything with fur). I'm reminded of when I was little and would dress my cat Teddy up in doll clothes and cute little bonnets - my memories of those days are much more fonder than his! (and yes, he's still alive - 23 years old this year!)
The Cat:
The Big Dog:
"What have I done to deserve this? What is happening? Have I done something bad again? Oh my, I'm so ashamed..."
The Cat:
"What kind of new fresh hell is THIS ?!"
The Little Dog:
"As a dog of petite stature I have resigned myself to this fate. Master dresses me up to look ridiculous on a regular basis anyway - what's one more humiliation? *Sigh"
Those who are impressed with themselves no matter what: a.k.a. The Lab, Golden Retriever, puppy, and one odd-ball cat
Pets who have no idea what's happening and therefore are easy targets:

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Monday Blues Beater: Inter-Species Mingling
Monday Blues Beater
What can bring a smile to your face on a Monday morning quicker than sweet furball pictures?
Anyone who knows me personally would know that I'm just crazy over animals - sometimes I can even prefer them to some humans! ... depending on the human of course :)
And I just love friendly inter-species mingling...
For instance, read here for a story from Mail Online about a brave baby rat who decided to steal a leopard's lunch... and got away with it! Lucky little rat!
Isn't it so incredibly beautiful that he would remember them and be so excited to see his family again? You can read the full story here from the Daily Mail and if you think it may be a hoax you can see on Snopes that it is indeed a true story :)

For instance, read here for a story from Mail Online about a brave baby rat who decided to steal a leopard's lunch... and got away with it! Lucky little rat!
Sheena the Leopard puzzled over the nerve of rhodent-like creature nibbling on her lunch.
She goes in for a closer sniff and Baby Rat is irritated about being interrupted from eating his feast that clearly was meant for him and not this feline-like creature.
So determined Baby Rat decides finishing his lunch is more important then worrying about sharing with the giant carnivorous feline waiting in line for her turn.
According to the Mail Online, "...after another tentative investigation, Sheena gave the leopard- equivalent of a shrug and turned away." And Baby Rat was left unharmed, with his belly full :)
Some more inter-species mingling... I can't help myself! Just too cute!
Meet Suryia and Roscoe: They are the best of buds :)
They swim together...
They chill on the deck together...
They laugh together...
And they cuddle together...

And finally, meet Christian the Lion. Every time I see this clip it brings tears to my eyes - so heart warming. You may have already seen it as it has been featured on many news shows and even The View and Oprah.
Christian the lion was raised by two men in their London flat until he became too big to care for. They reintegrated him into the wild in Africa and he became the leader of his own pride. This is what happened when they went looking for him one year later:
