Sort of a kitten – this seal pup moves in and makes himself at home.

How cool is this! The Friends of the National Zoo are auctioning a chance to learn to train one of their lions.
The description reads:
Join a lion keeper for a crash course on animal training! During this special behind-the-scenes experience you will learn about operant conditioning and the importance of training the National Zoo’s lions. Afterward you will have the opportunity to observe a real live training session between one of the Zoo’s lions and their trainer. This unique experience ends with an opportunity to a try out your new skills as a trainer!
There are a lot of other things to bid for on the site – all going to support the Smithsonian institutions. One I particularly like is the sloth bear spray painting. Suggested value $325.

Cmdr. Samuel Vimes attempts to send back his new brother, Hobbes.
Good thing Zappos returns are free.
Just kidding – they get along great. It is just that boxes are irresistible.

Like many other ferocious African animals, the Desert Rain Frog lets out a fearsome roar when threatened.

This is the desert rain frog that lives in Namibia and East Africa along the coast. I understand that when threatened it gives out a ferocious roar; watch the video below.

Cmdr. Sam Vimes in mid-leap captured on my iPad
Sam’s new brother, Hobbes, also in mid-leap
Both kitties in a quieter moment. Hobbes arrived on Tuesday evening. Both are Maine Coon Cats. We are happy for the addition to our family and thank Cousin Linda for these furry blessings.
What am I talking about?
March 31, 2014This post is a re-blog from Just English, with thanks.
I am not sure about the accuracy of the title, but I do appreciate the word play!
Only the British could invent such a language
We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Then shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!
And, in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother‘s not Mop?
If people from POLAND are called POLES
then people from HOLLAND should be then HOLES
and what to say about GERMANS… GERMS?!

“If you’re an adult, especially a cat-loving adult, a more sophisticated hotcake might be in order. It doesn’t get any classier than these Japanese pancakes, which serve as a playground for sweet frolicking kitties. And if pancakes aren’t your breakfast style, check out the donuts!
The cats are so cute you just want to eat them up. And you can, because they are completely edible! Actually, sadly, you can’t eat them because these adorable confections are not for sale. They are made by a Japanese housewife named Caroline, who bakes them up every February 22 (Cat’s Day in Japan) for her family to enjoy.
So, unless you marry into Caroline’s family, you’ll just have to ooh and ah over these awe-inspiring photos. And could you really stomach eating such pure cuteness in the first place? It would be like lighting up your kitty swatting a ball of yarn candle.”
