2007-04-26 09:32:00 Today I thought of sharing some tips on how to make your Bird Happy , coz today is Bird day, a day dedicated to our avian friends, who we usually keep in our homes as pets. So let your mind soar high as you enjoy watching those beautiful birds and try out some of the tips below.10 Things You Can Do to Make Your Bird Happy1.

Happy International Guide Dog Day!
2007-04-17 07:10:00 It has been a long time that I was out of the blogging scene. I had great enjoyment touring all around India, attending some of the exciting dog shows held there. I have a bag fulla experience that I wanna share with you people.It was really nice to find that India has a nice collection of quality show dogs – especially the breeds such as German Shepherd Dogs, Labrador Retrievers, Great Danes, Boxers, Pugs etc. The Indian people adore their dogs very much and care a lot for them. They spend a lot on their dogs and are highly conscious about their health and quality of food that they use for their dogs.Anyway, I have a great news for you that many of the avid dog lovers around the globe is not aware of.

My Dog In Love
2007-02-05 08:01:00 Since Friday, I am seeing a change in Jack's behaviour. It was my Mom who found Jack peeping from the window now and then. He seemed to be lost in his own world, not eating properly ( inspite of giving his favorite sausages to eat), not playing or fighting with my other pets nor is in a mood to watch cartoon network. We decided to find out the reason of his absurdity and my sister kept an eye on him the whole day. She told me that he is running towards the gate all the time and is trying to see something. And ohh goshh!! what we found made us speechless.....its our next door neighbour Mrs. Kelly's pooch "Chelsea" who is responsible for all this! Jack is in LOVE with the stupid poodle. LOL!! How fortunate are we, to see the love between two canines. He seem to be deeply in love, spending all his precious time to please her, making all sorts of tricks just to get her attention. Obviously, the poodle is good looking too. With her hair regularly combed, and a bow on her head, she is a... More About: Love

The Glass-Wing Butterfly
2007-02-03 03:17:01 The Glass -wing Butte rfly... lives in South America. A butterfly with transparent wings is rare and beautiful. As delicate as finely blown glass, the presence of this rare tropical gem is used by rain forest ecologists as an indicationof high habitat quality and its demise alerts them of ecological change. Rivaling the refined beauty of a stained glass window, the translucent wings of the Glass-wing Butter fly shimmer in thesunlight like polished panes of turquoise, orange, green, and red. All things beautiful do not have to be full of color to be noticed; in life that which is unnoticed has the most power. Enjoy.......these are really something. . More About: Wing

Hilary Swank And Her Pets
2007-02-01 09:14:01 I think everyone has praised this million dollar hollywood actress for her outstanding role as Maggie Fitzgerald in the film "Million Dollar Baby". Her full name is Hilary Ann Swan k and she is born on July 30, 1974. She has won the Oscar twice: in 1999 for Boys Don't Cry and in 2004 for the much talked about Million Dollar Baby. Her Hollywood film career began with a small part in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) and then a major part in The Next Karate Kid (1994). Swank came from humble beginnings and described her younger self as an"outsider" who only enjoyed reading a book or watching a movie, and thought of getting involved with a character. This later inspired her to become an actress. She came to the limelight last year when she filed a divorce from her actor-husband Chad Lowe. But again they had to rethink about their break up since, they faced a peculiar problem. Both Hilary and Lowe had a deep love for their pets and couldnot understand how to divide the pets amongst themse... More About: Pets , Hilary Swank
