The Amazing Cat Adventures of Mr. Lee

by on Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Watch as Mr. Lee meets a snake, has a rendezvous with a female kitty, lounges about under cars, and meets new and interesting friends in his daily journeys. Too cute!

This guy from Germany has attached a cat cam to his pet cat, Mr. Lee, and the travels are caught on tape. I love the meanderings through the backyard, i think i should attach a cam to one of my three four-legged pussies to see what kind of messes they get into.

The Real Story behind Gentle Giant Fred

by on Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

The so called “wild hog”, wasn’t wild at all, it was a family pet, owned by an older couple in Alabama, reports Fox News. The large hog escaped four days prior to being killed, by an 11 year old, after being hunted for three hours. The pig named Fred and considered a “gentle giant” by its owners Phil and Rhonda Blissitt, was a 2004 Christmas present to Rhonda from Phil since the pig was 6 weeks old.

I don’t know what makes me sadder, the fact that Fred was hunted for three hours and shot to death by 16 rounds, or the fact that it came at the hands of an 11 year old shooter.

Fred weighed an astonishing 1,051 pounds and is probably gonna go down in the books as one of the largest hogs ever discovered. The pig was so large, that rumors swirled around the internet that the photos were fake, but pet owner Rhonda confirmed its natural size.

The shooters father claims that the pig was feral and they did not break any rules. I’m pretty sure Fred disagrees with that sentiment.

Gentle Giant Fred…Rest in Peace

The View Fiasco and a Vegan caught in the middle.

by on Saturday, May 26th, 2007

“The View” is one of those shows where you watch it because you like one (or more) of the hosts or in this case hostesses. I watched when Meredith Viera was on and when Rosie O’Donnell took over last September, i was fine with the move, even looked forward to it, as Rosie always has something to say about anything even remotely controversial. (for starters bush, Iraq, fat people, gays, etc) I don’t have a problem with Rosie, i do have a problem with her co-host Elizabeth Hassellbeck as she comes across as holier than Marcia Brady. Her sanctimonious and self-righteous baloney really gets on my nerves at times, and this week it went too far with her not defending her Hollywood galpal, Rosie. She could and should have defended Rosie earlier this week when the media as usual snarped at Rosie for, yet again, “being anti-American”. If it weren’t for “The View”, no one would even know of Elizabeth Hassellbeck, and instead of being grateful and humble for this lucky twist in her career, she has turned into quite a belladonna. As of today it was reported that Rosie has officially resigned as co-host, and will not be returning to The View, caught in the middle of this nasty cat fight, was Alicia Silverstone (of clueless fame) who is a strict and vocal vegan, who apparently snubbed Hassellbeck on Wednesdays show, probably because she is anti-stupid people and did not appreciate the way Elizabeth carried on against Rosie.

Happy National Vegetarian Week from Veggie-Blogs

by on Sunday, May 20th, 2007


In honor of National Vegetarian Week, i have prepared a new worksheet detailing major nutrients and the corresponding vegetable or fruit source. The idea came to me primarily to help new vegetarians stick with the diet, as it can be hard at first, if one doesn’t plan their meals correctly and or doesn’t vary their menu to satisfy the required daily amount of necessary nutrients. N.V.W starts on Monday May 21 and runs through May 27th. Visit the Vegetarian Society for more details. If my worksheet is helpful to you, please feel free to leave me a comment about it. Happy N.V.M. to all.
