Will You Use Twitter's New Music App?
Two months after releasing its video sharing platform Vine, Twitter will reportedly debut a new music app. CNET reports that Twitter may release the app on iOS by the end of this month.
The heavily populated music-discovery and sharing market (see: Spotify, Pandora) will have to make room for Twitter, which looks to capitalize off its 170 million plus registered users. Twitter Music plans to incorporate the brand's recently acquired music service We Are Hunted and will suggest artists and songs to listen to based on which accounts a user follows on Twitter.
Users will be able to stream music via Soundcloud from four tabs the site has delegated for the new app. A "Suggested" tab will recommend songs and artists, based on who you're following and who your friends are following. The "#NowPlaying" tab will show you songs that are being tweeted with that hashtag by people you follow. Its "Emerging" tab will include up-and-coming artists and their work, while the "Popular" tab will show songs that are trending on We Are Hunted.
The move to add a music aspect to the site comes shortly after rival Facebook unveiled its fresh Newsfeed, and Google is also reportedly looking to develop a subscription music service of its own.

What's your reaction when you hear people talking about Nellie Ball? How would you define it?
I suppose it means small ball, fast and exciting, point forward, players playing out of position ... all those kinds of things. It's kind of funny to me when people talk about stuff like that. I don't necessarily think it's accurate. You only play Nellie Ball when you don't have a very good team, or when you have a bunch of good small players and not many good big players. When you have bad teams, you've got to be creative to win games you're not supposed to win.
I was innovative when I had to be, but I wasn't innovative when I didn't have to be. When I had good teams and big teams, I didn't play small ball. When I was in Milwaukee and we had Bob Lanier, we went inside. What I did really was evaluate the team and play the way that I thought we had to play to be the most competitive. If I had a big center, I wouldn't have played so fast. I would have waited for Lanier to get down [the court] like I did in Milwaukee. Those teams were defensive-oriented and those were my best teams, too, by the way.

Many mid-infrared semiconductor laser sources are now being developed with superlattice active regions. Calculations of gain, index of refraction, and intervalence subband absorption for these laser materials require accurate subband energies, wave functions, and radiative matrix elements. We have recently begun using a solution method based on the empirical pseudopotential method (EPM). This method shows particular strength in analyzing structures with short periods or thin layers, for which the standard method, based on

I've always thought that 18th and 19th C. wrought iron belonged, with early lighting, in a separate category. Crafted largely of wrought and tinned iron and brass, the products of
early metalsmiths were designed for use but infused with personal style. They furnished
the kitchen, equipped the hearth, provided the light and made life in the colonies possible. Today these same pieces make life enjoyable as well. We'll bring you the best we can
find and we guarantee their authenticity.

Signed and Dated Traveling Lantern
Signed and dated mid-19th C. traveling candle lantern in original asphaltum surface. Open, 3" square and 5" high. Folded, 3" x 2" x ¾". Mica windows, swiveling candle socket, even a rack for extra candles and matches. An identical lantern now in the Ford Museum is shown on p. 193 of
Antiques Treasury
Intact 19th C. American Candle Box
19th C. American hanging candle box with hinges, hasp and catch all original. Wire-rolled edges on the lid, convex ends with crimped seams. 10 ½"L. The black paint is quite old, probably the 2nd half of the 19th C., but I don't think it's original. I think it was applied when rust spots appeared on the surface of the tinned sheet iron. The edges of the hanger tabs are wire-rolled as well, the punched holes have excellent wear, and unusual oval soldered braces support the angle of the tabs.
Signed 18th C. Box Wax Jack
One of the less common forms of 18th C. wax jack. Most are much more elaborate with spring-loaded jaws and embellished columns. This is a simple box wax jack that probably would have sat on a desk; a canister with a lid mounting the equivalent of a candle socket. The wax snake is contained in the base and pulled up through the candle socket as it burned low. Typically, these provided the wax to seal letters and other documents. For the sake of accuracy there is denting to the loop handle. 3½"H x 3"W.
Ca. 1800 Wrought Iron & Brass Chandelier
Early 19th C. wrought iron and brass four socket chandelier of unusual size. 9" in diameter and 15" high. The sockets are wrapped cones and their bases are riveted through the circular iron rim and peened over on the underside. Wrought iron chandeliers that combine forged iron with turned brass embellishment are extremely rare. This one appears to be the work of a country smith, perhaps made for an alcove or the sacristy in a village church. All original. Small chandeliers of this sort are generally attributed to ecclesiastical use. Probably English.
Early 19th C. Forged Iron
Lighting Trammel
Superb early 19th C. small ratcheting lighting trammel. Certainly the best trammel of this size I've ever owned. If your hot buttons are bird's head finials and snake-form hanger hooks, this probably isn't for you. On the other hand, if a simply made forged iron trammel meant for betty lamps and other hanging lighting forms appeals to you, you might want to take a closer look, because this one is gorgeous! Delicate, but with excellent tool marks, perfect wear patterns and exceptional surface. It extends from 8½" to 11½". Absolutely a gem!
Ex-Hollis Brodrick.
The Best Bed Warmer I've Ever Seen
Extraordinary early to mid-18th C. bed warming pan in brass, copper and forged iron. The pan's copper alloy lid is decorated in raised brass with a 5-spoke pinwheel, butterflies between the spokes, in the center a horse with one hoof raised, all enclosed within an embossed rope-patterned rim. The lid is densely pierced with circles, hearts and birds. Forged iron throat, smoke-blackened turned walnut handle, hammered brass pan apparently dovetailed then skimmed. The pan was repaired at the rim and at the hinge at some point with heavy copper and brass rivets. 48"L and 13" in diameter. Without even a close second, this is the best and probably also the earliest warming pan I've ever seen. Dutch or French, ca. 1700-1750.
Very Good 18th C.
Wrought Iron Rushlight
Late 18th to early 19th century wrought iron combination candle and rush holder. The jaws are counterweighted by a single candle socket. Tripod base with penny feet. Excellent form. American or English. 10" high x 6¼" wide (feet). For similar examples, see
Iron at Winterthur
by Fennimore, Fig. 77 and
Antique Iron: Survey of American and English Forms
by the Schiffers, Pg. 252.
Early 19th C. Chamberstick
with Douter
Ca. 1825-1830 heavy brass chamberstick with accompanying witch's hat douter. Seamed construction with wire-rolled rim and original lifter tab. Mellow oxidized surface, perfect condition. England. 5¾"H.
Polychrome Delft Candle Lantern
Rare 19th C. Delft candle lantern in underglaze polychrome decoration. Original glass in all three windows. Part of metal door latch missing. No breaks or cracks and very little fritting. Excellent condition overall. 8½" to the roof peak, 4½" square.
True Pair of 17th C. Brass Tapersticks
Extremely scarce true pair of brass solid cast 17th C. tapersticks. Where the nozzle diameter of 17th and 18th C. full-sized candlesticks varied roughly from 7/8" to 1¼", tapersticks took smaller candles that would fit candle cups ranging from 1/2" to 5/8". In addition to increasing illumination, tapersticks provided the wax that sealed letters and documents. 4¼"H x 4"D. In the current market, authentic tapersticks have become exceptionally rare. Dutch or Flemish. 1650-1700.
Rare American Lantern in Original Blue
Though typically sold as American, the vast majority of wooden barn lanterns of this general form are English or European. Very nice pieces, just not American. This one is. 11½" tall and 6" on a side. Access to the interior is via a sliding glass pane. The candle is secured by the threads of a screw driven up from beneath. There is significant charring in the top board and shrinkage cracks from heat which have been reinforced from within. The heavy wrought iron handle is almost certainly original. There are many barn lanterns. This one is for the collector who knows the difference.
American Painted Tinware Chamberstick
Exceedingly rare early 19th C. American painted tinware chamberstick in absolutely original condition. No breaks or inpainting. Berlin, CT. Ca. 1800-1853. In the entire four volumes of Martin and Tucker's detailed study of
American Painted Tinware
, only one chamberstick is illustrated. This one is Ex-Austin and Jill Fine and their collection sticker is on the underside.
Early Brass Miniature Chamberstick
Rare and wonderful true miniature brass go-to-bed chamber stick. Sheet brass pan with flaring sides and rolled edges. Seamed brass candle tube braised to the pan with a bulbous brass collar. Probably a child's chamber stick, because the candle tube and bobeche show signs of repeated use. Likely English, possibly Birmingham, ca. 1800-1820
Rare Triple Wick Betty Lamp
Most betty lamps run on oil drawn up through a wick supported in a tubular metal channel. Occasionally you find one with two wick supports. Those are rare and for the collector very desirable. This, however, is the only period betty lamp I've ever seen with three wick supports. The reservoir has a shape that exactly reverses the form of the typical betty. The reservoir cover is tinned sheet iron. The shaft of the hanger hook is decorated with twistwork and a wick pick is present. Probably early 19th C.
Miner's Betty with Heart Terminal
Early betty lamp made in the first quarter of the 1800s specifically for miners. Called "Frog lamps," they were ruggedly constructed for the conditions. Iron reservoir brass soldered to an iron base plate, with a hanger arm that terminates in a heart-shaped brass badge decorated with crossed rock hammers. A virtually identical frog lamp signed "Henry Bok" was sold several years ago at Green Valley Auctions. And p. 222 of
Fire and Light
illustrates a miner's lamp with the same crossed hammers symbol on its heart-shaped brass badge.
Extremely Rare
Miniature Knife Blade Andirons
Pair of wrought iron miniature knife blade andirons with brass ball and acorn finials. Perfect form and unpolished surface. No one knows with certainty why a particular miniature form of anything was made: Possibly for a child, possibly as a piece created by an apprentice to demonstrate his skills to his master, or possibly, as may have been the case in Pennsylvania, "Just for nice"—a piece made purely for its decorative value. But until the second half of the 19th C. pieces like these were rarely, if ever, "salesman's samples." Ca. 1790-1820. 5¾H" x 4"D.

This cleanser dried out my sensitive normal/dry skin so badly. I would not recommend it for normal nor dry skin.
I end up buying this product again and again. It's worth the $7 it costs, and then some. I actually use it in the shower, and shave with it. The salicylic acid works to prevent ingrown hairs, as well as it prevents acne.
Love it!
well first of all i'm a teen with blemish prones skin. I chose this cleanser because the beauty consultant told me that it would do wonders for my skin, after trying it for 2 months without any success in doing anything except drying my skin i threw it out. Hopefully there is a better cleanser out there!!
this cleanser did nothing for my complexion, except make it very dry! after using it a few times i started breaking out all over my face. it did not remove my makeup that well either. deffinately will never buy again.
I love this cleanser and have been using it for more than two years! I have combination skin and this cleanser doesn't dry my face out. It's a very good price for the quality. This cleanser actually cleans your face very well if you apply directly to your DRY face and massage. It does not remove makeup but I use it after using cleansing oil.
I have a slightly oily/combination skin type, and with this product, I've enjoyed using it because it effectively reduces redness and swelling from break outs.
What I do is that before I use it, I make sure my skin is well exfoliated.
Ever heard of how your skin "slurps up (quickly absorbs)" moisturizers after exfoliating?
If not, it really does.
Your skin is so much smoother and your dead skin cells aren't blocking your deeper layers of skin from receiving the medication from Aveeno's Clear Complexion foaming cleanser.
The only con is that the pump does tend to get stuck after you've pressed it down, and you pretty much have to pull it back up before pumping again.
After washing (and I usually do all this before I go to bed), and drying, I use Aveeno's moisturizer, but the one for blemishes and for preventing break outs. Try this combination, sleep, and see the difference the next morning.
I hope this has helped you as much as it helped me!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is way too drying and doesn't remove makeup well at all.
I have purchased this cleanser twice. I like the scent and that it keeps away breakouts without too much drying. I have trouble with the bottles though - after the bottle is about half empty the pump starts to stick in the down position. It happened both times, so I don't think I was just unlucky.
More reviews by heavenseventeen
This product does not cleanse very well. After a few days' use, I started breaking out all over my face. Then I noticed that after cleansing with it and applying toner, there was quite a bit of dirt on the cotton ball. I tried using a lot of this product and washing really really well, but I still end up with dirt (this never happened with my previous cleanser). I guess it is good for people with sensitive skin, but not for oily skin types.
This is ok so far - i have combo skin which gets clogged pores and hormonal spots. My spots had been getting out of control and I was in need of something to tame them. This seems to be gradually clearing my skin but it isn't brilliant - there has been no effect on my blackheads and it does dry my skin out a little - it doesn't feel tight, but there are more flakes than usual, so I have to follow with a gentle exfoliator (clinique 7 day scrub - normally not exfoliating enough, but fits the purpose now).

The location is good, away from the noise. The staff are friendly especially Eva. accommodation in general are excellent, the room is clean and the kitchen is good, complete. S L
location but getting transport is not that hard.
outside view from balcony of apatment was terrific!
well the bed wasnt that comfy but not that too bad.
I like most is the location which is far from the central that the surrounding is very noisy unlike the baguio vacation apartment is peaceful and cozy. and also the staff is very friendly and approachable. thank you baguio vacation apartment for good service...
It is quite far from the city, very quiet and the view is excellent.
The kitchen accessories needs replacement. Some cups are cracked and chopping board is old. Suggest the heater for water be modern not the old fashioned kettle.
Price not reasonable
No disturbance and secure
No internet Far from city No shops close by
The staff were Excellent they made us feel welcome, very attentive and courteous starting from the Guards at the gate and they are all smiling. The location was Superb as well.Away from the crowded Kennon road perfect for family bonding with grandparents. Will definitely consider coming back each time we visit the Philippines
I liked the location it was not to hard to find via GPS. It was furnished and comfortable. And it was defiantly big enough for 10 people which I really liked.
I didn't like the fact that there was no wifi, towels, room fans, or even a telephone in the room. Yes Baguio is chilliy but still air flow is important. I was most upset there was no towels. I can live with out wifi but towels are very important. What upset me the most is when I was checking out the young lady who was helping me didn't seem to care how our stay was and when I spoke to here about the anemities she said that it had been mentioned to the manager many time but he was more concerned with making money then to please whom stayed. I think for 7,000.00 (which the staff TRIED to increase upon check in) a night there should have been better service and at a minimum towels and wifi. There for, for that reason I would never stay there agian...
The security and safety which I most like, though it's a little far from the city but if you have a car there is no problem in transportation. The staffs are attentive to our every request.
Far from the city if you want to order by delivery e.i pizza it would not be accepted due to the distance from the city.
If your going to have peace and tranquility this is the place , away from busy roads.
Lack of furnitures and kitchen stuff like cooking appliances.
Over priced, the facilities and amenities were very poor.
There was no store close to buy food

Just so you know, I'm only going to comment on the "La Maudite" episodes if they're good. I learned my lesson wasting my time with "Ally of the Dolls". I'd hope, but I don't think it will do any good. You didn't improve over the course of making "Alley of the dolls" so you have no track record to improve with "La Maudite".
Good trailer!
This series looks good. Can't wait to watch the rest!
Nothin too special, just a trailer... not a bad one... just not special.
Great art work.
but the animation was almost clock crew style.... and that ain't a good thing.
Cool very nice and detailed, abit too prof, very comic style, i would say abit more animation, as it seemed abit choppy, but then again that could be my pc, anyways great work...

Barking at the door excitement
Welcome to day 3 of Bark Week, which happens to be Wordless Wednesday (which, as you know by now, I can never accomplish). If you need to catch up, day 1 was all about how to get your dog to stop barking on cue, and day 2 focused on demand barking.
For today's installment, I wanted to share a video of a barking behavior that happened every single time we came home – and not just us, either, but anyone Cooper knows and loves who came through our back door got this "welcome." (Poor Emmett.) We solved this behavior with one piece-of-cake adjustment, which I'll share with you tomorrow, along with the steps we took – and what didn't work.
When we come home from Maggie Marton on Vimeo.
(Incidentally, this is vastly different from what happens when a stranger comes to the front door. That I'll tackle on Friday, along with giveaways of the best tool EVER!)
In the meantime, does your dog go bonkers when you come home? Does your dog bark out of EXCITEMENT? Is there door barking behavior that you've solved? If so, share your experience in the comments, pretty please!
Third Annual Pet Blogger Challenge
The Third Annual Pet Blogger Challenge is here! I love any opportunity for reflection, especially when it comes to goal setting and, ideally, goal achieving. This took me longer than I thought it would because I realized that I didn't have a concrete plan or set of goals, so I'm glad to have this opportunity to be introspective and think through how I'm running this blog! So, here goes…
1. How long have you been blogging and provide a link to your post from last year's Pet Blogger Challenge so we can refresh our memories.
I've been blogging since June 1, 2009. I missed the challenge in 2012 because it was the same time as one of my surgeries, but here's a link to my 2011 challenge post.
2. What do you consider the most important goals you set out in last year's post?
I actually hadn't set any specific goals, which is odd for me because I'm a terribly goal-oriented person. My only stated goal was to start making enough money to cover the cost of hosting and registering the blog.
3. Have you made progress toward those goals, or have your goals changed over the past year?
I sold some sponsored posts, which covered the cost of hosting. Yay! However, all this introspection about goals has inspired me to actually create some concrete goals for 2013. I'm not sure what those will look like yet – traffic? income? engagement? – but I'm excited to have something to think about!
4. How often do you post?
Since the old cancer diagnosis, it's been about once per week. Prior to that, it was three times per week. AHA! There's a goal for 2013! Get back on a posting schedule!
5. Has your opinion of blogging on a schedule or as the spirit moves you changed?
I'm determined to be more scheduled in 2013, just to help keep myself on track. Since I write for a living, I spend almost all day every day on my computer. Having a set schedule will help me stay motivated and focused to get posts up regularly.
If you publish on a schedule, why? How strict are you about your publishing deadlines? What do you do for inspiration when it feels like you've covered every topic?
If you don't publish on a schedule, why? How do you think your decision affects your audience? How do you know when a topic is "post-worthy?"
I haven't been posting on a schedule, but, as I said, I want to change that.
6. How much time do you spend writing your blog per week? How much time visiting other blogs? Share your tips for staying on top of it all.
Honestly, over the past year I've spent very little time writing my blog. However, I spend a ton of time visiting other blogs. The only tip I have is to use Google Reader! It's the only way I can track the ever-expanding list of blogs that I follow. The only thing is that it takes an extra step to visit the blog to leave a comment, which I'm terrible at doing. Another goal for 2013, perhaps?
7. How do you measure the success of a post and of your blog in general (comments, shares, traffic)? Do you look strictly at the numbers, or do you have a way of assessing the quality of those interactions?
I used to check my Google Analytics obsessively, but after a while I realized those traffic numbers were less important than engagement. Are people commenting? Are there discussions among readers? Those are the questions I'm using to determine success these days.
8. If you could ask the pet blogging community for help with one issue you're having with your blog, what would it be?
How to get people to take that extra step to become subscribers, whether it's via email, RSS, as a Google Reader subscription, and so on. When I look at my numbers, I have a lot of visitors who come by a couple times then disappear. I do that to other sites, too; unless I add the subscription when I first visit, I never remember to go back and check for new posts. How can I capture new folks and get them to subscribe? Is it as easy as adding a button to each post? Should I assume those who want to do and everyone else isn't interested? I feel like this is something I need to work on for 2013 because I think this is a number that potential advertisers want to see!
9. What goals do you have for your blog in 2013?
I had to set this aside and think about it for a little while, but I think I came up with three main goals for the year… Next up: Developing the strategies to achieve each one of these guys!
- Subscribers: I haven't pushed subscriptions (reader or email) more than once or twice, but I want to get those numbers up.
- Income: I want to maintain my previous goal of earning enough via sponsored posts or advertising to cover the cost of monthly hosting and annual domain registration.
- Posting: I will post a minimum of three times per week. Wordless Wednesday counts, right?
Thanks to GoPetFriendly.com for hosting the Pet Blogger Challenge again this year! I love the opportunity to think through all these questions, and I can't wait to read (and comment on!) everyone else's challenge responses.
A handful of highlights from BlogPaws
1. Seeing Tillman, the world's fastest skateboarding dog, in person! From where I was standing, I couldn't get a clear shot of him, but here's his tour bus!
2. Meeting Zoey from Stick It to Canine Cancer. She is gorgeous, her mama is wonderful, and with a different outfit every day, she was the star of BlogPaws!
3. Learning about all the new pet products that are coming out – it just goes to show how dedicated we all are to our animals.
4. Meeting blogger friends, new and old, in person. I met a wonderful bunch of people, got to know others better, and spent time catching up with old BlogPaws friends. I can't wait until 2013!
5. And, finally, seeing Emmett's face as I unpacked my BlogPaws swag bag. He knows there's something in there for him!
Cooper's BlogPaws journey
A week ago today, Cooper and I left Indy for our trip to BlogPaws. I tried to prepare him as much as possible, but honestly… I had no idea what to expect from him. It was his first real trip away from home and away from Emmett and Lucas. It was his first time going to doggy day care, staying in a hotel, and meeting that many people and pets all at once.
For the most part, he blew me away!
Some of the highlights:
He met Big Ant from Rescue Ink! I was super excited, and Cooper behaved impeccably. Big Ant was impressed that the little guy made the whole trip without getting car sick. I was happy about that, too!
He aced doggy day care! The pet sitter told me that Cooper was the official greeter, running to the door to welcome every new dog. He played with Max and Remy (couldn't get a pic! They were running too fast!)
He played with Oliver.
He played with his new best friend in the whole world, Stella. This pic was the best I could do because those two would not pause their wrestling or running for even one second!
He met Ernie. How handsome is this guy?!
And he even got to hang out with Carol Bryant and Dexter! Lucky boy!
Cooper didn't get to meet Finnegan, but I did!! What a sweet, wonderful boy!
And every night, after meeting and greeting, Cooper went back to the hotel room to do this:
While he excelled at day care and did an amazing job wandering around the hotel with me greeting new and old friends, there are a few things we need to work on. I'm really happy we had this experience, though, because in our day-to-day I may not have discovered some of his… quirks.
Cooper does not like to be surprised. Not. One. Bit.
The few times he had trouble, it happened when someone came around a corner and he wasn't expecting it. He put his fur up, tucked his tail, and barked his little head off. In a few instances, it took the person giving him treats to calm him down. A couple times, though, I ended up having to walk him away because he got too freaked out to settle down enough to take food. I felt really bad because everyone had the best intentions, but it was just too much for him. On top of that, he is super typical in that he dislikes an unfamiliar person coming at him with an outstretched hand reaching for his head. I'm used to going everywhere with Emmett who will let a perfect stranger come up and use his face as a pillow, so I did a bad job managing a few greetings… but Cooper let me know. Loudly.
So we need to practice his reactions with the element of surprise (any ideas on how to stage this???), and I want to start building up a super happy positive association with allowing strangers to pat him. This was only a very small percentage of his encounters, but I don't want that small amount to spiral into a negative association with bumping into people in unexpected places.
That being said, Cooper amazed me. I asked so much of him over the course of five days. We drove about 1,200 miles, he met dozens and dozens of people, he played with a whole bunch of new dogs in an unfamiliar place, and he did it with a whole lot of smiles!
Good boy, Cooper!

What are your dog-friendly weekend plans?
I love the weekend! It's the perfect blank canvas. You can choose be be lazy and snuggle, get things done around the house, go on adventures, take a trip, all without having to worry about work, work, work! And this is a big weekend: Halloween is upon us. Fall is definitely in the air. And, at least around here, it's supposed to be clear skies Saturday and Sunday!
This weekend is an anomaly for us. We're heading a couple hours out of town for a wedding celebration, a brunch, a trip to Ikea, and we have a big surprise in store for Sunday. I can't wait to tell you guys all about that on Monday… stay tuned for the news! Then Sunday we'll prep the boys for the onslaught of trick-or-treaters. Overall, a great but busy weekend.
So what about you? What are you up to with your dogs this weekend?
Community Question: Dogs in costume?
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you have a fun weekend ahead of you! I'm volunteering at my shelter's low-cost vaccination clinic tonight, then I plan to spend the rest of the weekend relaxing around the house and playing with Emmett and Lucas. Sounds like a perfect weekend to me!
So I have a question for everyone:
Do you dress your dogs up for Halloween? And, if so, what does your dog wear?
Okay, I guess that's two questions! But you all are a creative bunch of dog lovers, so I can't wait to hear your costume ideas!
Last year, Lucas went as Little Red Riding Hood, and Emmett was the wolf in grandma's clothing:
I'm stumped for this year's costume, though!
What does your dog wear? (If you have a link to a pic on FB or your blog, please include it in the comments!! I looooove pics of dogs in costume!)
Friday link love
While at BlogPaws, I had the pleasure of meeting many bloggers I've admired from afar for a long time. It was wonderful to finally put faces to URLs and Twitter handles. I also discovered several new blogs. Over the next month or so, as I sort through my notes and business cards, I'll pass along some of my new discoveries!
To get started, though, here are a few blogs I bookmarked immediately after BlogPaws:
- FIDO Friendly Blog: Love the magazine, love the blog!!
- Pet News and Views: With a medley of newsworthy and provocative topics, this blog always ends up with great discussions in the comments!
- The Tiniest Tiger's Conservation Cub Club: Before BlogPaws, I didn't read many (any?) cat blogs. I've discovered a few to share, but this one rises to the top because it's so focused on conservation.
- Woof Report: This is a free weekly email (there's a cat version, too!) that I signed up for the day I got back! The site also hosts a vibrant online community.
Next up, I'm so excited to spend time this weekend checking out everyone's Facebook pages and Twitter profiles.
What about you? What are your must-read blogs?
Community Question: Has your dog ever "hunted"?
This is a vole:
And these are vole murderers:
I had just had a conversation with a co-worker about how I was so happy the boys had never killed a small animal. At least not intentionally. Once, Lucas accidentally killed a vole by pawing at it. It must've died of internal injuries. That incident earned him the nickname Lenny ("I just wanted to petted it, George.")
Then John and I went to my parents' house, their house with the giant fenced in yard, wildlife, a pond – basically doggy heaven. We left the boys in my parents' care and went to a concert. The next morning my mom told us that the boys had dug a GIANT hole in the yard to get at a tiny little vole. Which they killed, apparently by smashing, not biting. Odd. Anyway, my dad told them to "leave it" and they did. He scooped it up and tossed it out.
Even though it wasn't a tooth-related killing, I was still sort of sad. I think of them as such gentle giants, and I know it's just instinct. They're hunters, right? But still.
So this week's question:
Has your dog ever killed a small animal?? If so, how did you feel about it? If not, how do you think you'd react if he/she did?
