Printer Use According to Marcus the Cat
One of the great things about kids and animals are there automatic and uninhibited reactions to things. I think that’s one of the reasons we love watching animals and little kids enjoy the world. And hopefully it’s not just vicariously enjoying their silly fun, but making it our own as well, remembering how fun it … Continue reading the story "Printer Use According to Marcus the Cat"Rat and Cat – Kiss and Hug
Ready for another animal friends video? This one features another unexpected pairing – a cat and a rat. There's a couple of rats actually, but one seems particularly affectionate and intrigued by this feline.

Talk about extremes. A couple of weeks or so ago I was talking about the dear little penny. Well, about as far away from that as you can get is the million dollar coin. Yep, turns out the Royal Canadian Mint made five of these gigantic coins in May … Continue reading the story "$1 Million Coin – Worth $4 Million – Going to Auction"BP Cartoon Break
Not that I want to put my head in the sand, hide from view of the damage caused by human arrogance and denial, (BP anyone?), but perhaps a dip or two into the sand is allowed. Part of what makes the ongoing insanity in the Gulf of Mexico even more sickening and painful is exactly what also makes our world so beautiful. The thought … Continue reading the story "BP Cartoon Break"
