Pet Groovy

Deserts are regions with very little rainfall and extreme temperatures either hot or cold. Desert has no many plants and animals compared to normal areas yet this is the home of many reptiles, insects, birds and small mammals. Many large animals were not able to survive in the desert life. Thus, these desert animals have found ways to survive with the lack of water, extreme temperatures and with the desert environment and shortage of food.

Many desert animals do not hunt for food in the day staying all day under the land where they made a hole while some just stay in the shade. At night, desert animals go out and hunt for food. This is the way to fight the very hot temperature of the desert. Some desert animals do not need water often because water is already in the food they eat like seeds, insects and bulbs. Their body features are really made to survive the desert condition but there are some desert animals that are becoming endangered species. Many desert animals as they grow old can no longer fight the extreme temperature of the desert.

Watching dogs do those extra ordinary stunts is fun; they really are intelligent. Animal movies especially those dog movies are such a hit whether they are animated or not, all family members like seeing dogs talk like human and show intelligent moves in every scene. No wonder Firehouse Dog made a hit in the film and made family love dogs even more; an action, comedy and family film. Released in April by 20th Century Fox, the movie has a gross earning from theaters $13,881,654.00 a box office hit. Firehouse director is Todd Holland and its writer Claire – Dee Lim both said that doing a dog movie is tough but worth all the hard work.

Firehouse dog is a story about a Hollywood’s top canine star Rexxx getting lost and becoming a street dog. In the street he bump with Shane Fahey (Josh Hutcherson) the son of the DogPatch firehouse - a shabby, undervalued firehouse; who eventually adopted Rexxx. In his stay in the firehouse Rexxx was able to show  his intelligence and smartness by rescuing the chief, helped in solving crimes and conspiracy and many other things that improved the status of the firehouse and most especially gave Shane a new purpose in life and made their family closer. Rexxx and the firehouse became famous then and that’s the time his real owner recognize him. Though Rexxx returned to his real owner he like more the life in the firehouse and so his owner decided to give him to Fahey.

The movie did well in showing that our pets are capable of teaching us and our family about life and love and that relationship with dogs can be inspiring. For sure the movie made us appreciate and value our dogs even more even if they are just a simple pet they can teach us many things in life too.

There has been a lot of argument as to who holds the title of the biggest snake; actually there are two snake specie that can be place in this category – the Anaconda of South America and the Asiatic Reticulated Python. The latest record today of anaconda’s length is 37 feet only. According to some report by European explorers in South America Anaconda can reach up to 100 feet but no one has ever come close to measuring them because they are mostly under the water. Plus the fact that no one dared coming close to such a huge size, how about you trying? (lol).

Anacondas live in fresh water where they spend their time hunting for food. They are carnivorous who likes to eat pigs, deer, crocodiles, fish, jaguars… and humans? They can do eat humans, there have been no report about it, but the natives of South America do tells that Anaconda have done it before. Though Anaconda can be very dangerous it does not have poison, it just kill its prey by squeezing them with its big body or drowning them under the water. And Anaconda will eat its prey whole without biting the prey.

To some people Anaconda or Phyton can be fascinating pet. Like any other pets, taking care of these kind of exotic pet needs great responsibility and care in feeding and protection most especially making sure that it never go to the wilds. Big snakes to some are beautiful and exciting but they are definitely dangerous. And they can do it anytime, anywhere, even at your own house. Can harm anybody even its pet owner.

They changed how we look and treat them; dogs seen in our favorite cartoon shows made us love our dogs even more. Cartoon dogs showed that they can be so fascinating and that they are capable of many wonderful things. Now they are more than just loyal, obedient and quiet companion we have, but they are part of our family.

Snoopy was one of the most favorite cartoon dog among cartoon dogs. Actually I named my first dog Snoopy because I like Snoopy the cartoon dog. Not only me did this, many pet owners named their pet dog Snoopy as well because of its popularity after it’s several cartoon shows. Because of our great fondness for dogs, many producers until now creates cartoon dogs of different breed and characters. Peanut, Scooby Doo, Beethoven are just some of the popular cartoon dogs we have and for sure there are still many cartoon dogs that will be born. This just proves that pet dogs can be so lovable whether they are true or a cartoon dog.

This term can be confusing because it can pertain to many things but not monkey. Brass monkey is a phrase, a slang term that can be use to refer to weather or a kind of drink.  Brass monkey was first used C.A Abbey in his book Before the Mast in the year 1857, using the term to refer extreme coldness. But there were many beliefs as to where this phrase really originated. 

  Some believes that the phrase actually started during the Napoleonic War period. During this period guns and cannons were usually used, “Monkey” refers to a table or rail made of brass, which holds the cannon balls. But during a very cold weather the Brass Monkey, which holds the cannon balls will break making the cannon balls roll over. Somehow it does really refer to a very cold weather. Some might misunderstand it that Brass monkey’s testicles are losing when the weather is very cold. This is somewhat funny but it has nothing to do with monkey, the animal.

Hummingbirds are small birds about three inches long only that can be seen in America. They are named for the characteristic hum made by their wings.

Great way to enjoy hummingbirds is to make a hummingbird garden; these birds like to eat. They eat every ten minutes to easily replace the lost energy due to constant flying. They are very attracted to flowers especially those red and yellow flowers; these is their main food but they also get insects and worms for their young. Hummingbirds does not care with the smell of the flowers since they have no sense of smell, they are very attracted with colors and nectar content.
