One more year down the drain... The years are beginning to add up,though I'm not a hundred yet, like Jo.. its beginning to feel like it. .....

Many thanks for all your greetings my Loodus friends. Merci !

I hope you like these Bible stories as told by primary-school pupils in Dublin in the 1960 ies...

I really hoped you would not remember that, Macdoum!
But since then, I turn back the clock at each birthday.
Next birthday I think I shall be - - -
whatever I feel like on the day!!

Quite right Jo... ( and usually the memory is 'down-the-spout' )

I was all choked up while watching. I have not seen that movie, but this video clip seems to summarize it very well. Thank you, Macdoum.

[alice44]

I am a little scared to watch it. I am not sure how much more crying I can actively take on.

(Just looking at the picture of Faith, Hope and Lily had me crying.)

All you dog-lovers must help your doggie to wait for Santa Claus:

I think Sam will just put out an empty bowl and wait for the treats, or lick my nose until I get the treats out for him.

[alice44]

Not sure where this should go

It is just a video of a Hen Harrier hunting (well at the end I think she is getting harried), it is set to rather lovely music, which is a bit louder than necessary.

[Kitty KCMO]

Beautiful, Alice. I would almost have thought it was an owl based on the shape of the head & how the eye area looks. Lovely bird.

And now, a heart warming story I found.



And here is how it all turned out.

[alice44]

I suppose it is possible that the puppy walked into the canyon, but I am going to bet someone encouraged the poor thing.

Sometimes I despair.

It's not all bad, the story comes out fine, don't be afraid to watch. I just wish the bad bits had never happened.

[Kitty KCMO]

Yes, the little dog looks very happy in the end & has a wonderful, loving home. He may have wandered into those slot canyons somehow by himself, but I think somebody deliberately took him in there. But now he has a good life.

[macdoum]

Kitty what a lovely happy-ending story. Wonderful man,did the right thing.
Some people are bad.
