Have you ever had something go wrong with your house, but you have no idea where it came from or where the trouble started in the first place? You search and search, but you’re at a complete loss how the damage happened. Maybe a tree fell down and hit your beloved gnome on the head breaking it into a thousand pieces. Or maybe you have a giant ant problem in just one spot, but there…
This story is beautiful. First, let me allow the woman who rescued him to explain in her words: “Little Red and his brothers and sisters were left in a yard with an older aggressive dog (his father), when the family moved, leaving the pups to scrounge for just whatever they could find to eat or whatever the older dogs dropped when neighbors fed them. There were 6 pups originally and when I was alerted to…
Keeping lambs alive Extremely premature lambs have been kept alive in an artificial uterus for four weeks. The system uses a fluid-filled plastic bag and could be used for premature babies within the next three years. “We’ve developed a system that, as closely as possible, reproduces the environment of the womb and replace the function of the placenta,” says Alan Flake at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, who led the study. “It is fascinating,” says Neil…
Sometimes finding a parking spot can be a daunting task; driving up and down aisles until you see a space open up only to have another driver whip right in and snatch it up. A driver in Chongqing, China drove home after a vacation only to find his assigned parking space at his home was no longer available. It was occupied and turned into a new home, by a stray dog. Agitated and annoyed after his…
Seeing an animal in distress is a very difficult thing to watch. Knowing there is nothing you can do to help the animal is even tougher. I found a cat, when I was about 9, stranded in a tree in the middle of winter. It was cold, scared and looked pretty malnourished. I was able to climb the tree and retrieve the cat. I took it inside and gave it some food. It was one of…
I’ve always dreamed of going to Alaska and taking an Alaskan cruise, while stopping to fish for salmon and other native fish. Alaska is the last frontier. A lot of it is untouched, and there are homesteads throughout the wilderness where people live off the land and their surroundings. If I didn’t have kids, I would try to jump on this as soon as possible, but with kids that adds a whole other element. Well,…

True love never dies. True? I’d like to think so. The story of Pearle and Max made me a believer. While searching through the attic of his father’s house, a son came across boxes of old items. The most interesting were piles of love letters sent from a man named Max. From 1913-1978, Max and Pearle wrote each other. All his letters begin with “My Sweet Pearle” and end with “Forever yours, Max”. These letters…
We all grow up digging around in sand boxes hoping to strike it rich and find some hidden ancient treasures. What we typically find is a rusty, old Matchbox car or a present left behind by a cat. Either way it’s very rare to find something desirable. Well, that’s not quite the case with a young group of boys in California. They were digging in their yard when they found something that would make anyone’s…
