Happy Anniversary! You two are an inspiration to us all--talented, funny, and the perfect match.
There is hope for "rehoming" wild animals--not all, but some. For example, in the USA, the northwest has had wolf packs re-established. They were...
Those ice cream sandwiches otter be good!
I love most all animals with the exception of skunks, especially in the spring when all the rejected lovers throw themselves under car tires and...
2ofus, I've posted pictures of the zoo inhabitants on the Members' Gallery. We have lots of zoo photos, but I didn't want to overload our members...
