WEEKLY POST

As my laptop is still at my mum's and I am without the internet, I'm just doing weekly posts with my fave animal pics of the week until I'm back on my normal schedule.



London, England, August 28, 2008—Diana, a real donkey from the Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary, joins a pantomime donkey at a charity event staged to raise awareness about the plight of abused, neglected, and abandoned donkeys.

The event was hosted by Gift Republic, a specialty gift store, to encourage people to support sanctuaries through adopt-a-donkey programs. Diana, who was born at the sanctuary in 1997 to a rescued abandoned donkey, is one of the sanctuary's prized show donkeys.

As my laptop is with my mum as she is kindly repairing it, I thought I would post some gorgeous pics from national geographics animal photos weekly as part of friday ark. Enjoy these special moments captured by camera...

Ready Eddy? A young seal named Eddy peers out from a basket en route to his release into the North Sea from the island of Juist.

Eddy was raised at a seal rehabilitation and breeding station in Norddeich, which cares for about 30 to 80 orphaned seals each year. Seals are released when they reach a minimum weight of 55 pounds (25 kilograms).

Jonah was so intrigued by Honey. She just did not want a bar of it. Anytime he went near, she showed all her teeth as a warning. Oh well one day they may get along

Jonah reminds me of my dog Gizmoe, my little Giz rest in peace. The way Jonah lays is exactly like how Giz did, on his back with arms in the air. Man he makes me laugh. I just can't seem to take a photo that really captures what I'm talking about.

Crows always sit on top of the building next to us, crowing away. It hypnotises Jonah. Its fascinating watching him and his instincts to hunt, however I would never want him to hunt a wild bird, I'm happy with Jonah hunting down flies in the house. Join the ark here

It feels like yesterday....

I am not posting a "new" photo this week as I was going through all my baby photos of Jonah . It really does feel like yesterday when I brought him home in his carry cage (which he fills up now)They get so big so quickly! I really enjoy looking at those baby photos like he was a child and miss that age!!! Join the ark here and post a pic of your loved one!

Friday Ark - The meeting

The first time my dog, my family dog that now lives with my mum, and my baby boy Jonah ever met. I took Jonah up to my mum's house for Christmas. I wish I got this in one shot but they wouldn't go near eachother. Just stared at eachother from either side of the room. When the finally did go near eachother, it was either her growling at him or him slapping her away with his paw. What an interesting day this was, at least I had the family together for Christmas.
