Sparta the Mean Kitty
The videos above are from YouTube, and feature Sparta. Click on them to watch these clever videos his owner has posted on YouTube. He is an Egyptian Mau, though he looks like a Bengal. (Bengals are a cross between an Asian Leopard cat and a domestic shorthair). In one video, you'll notice how Sparta fetches. (it's because they are VERY smart). I Hope you enjoy these short clips.
(PS. Sometimes weird videos will appear. Refresh the browser until the kitties show up).
FORT MYERS: A young girl was found dead in a vehicle in a Fort Myers parking lot Monday afternoon. Police say her father accidentally left her in the car.
Investigators say 18-month-old Payton McKinnon was left in the vehicle all day while her father, 37-year-old Reginald McKinnon was working at Century Link (formerly known as Embarq) at 1520 Lee Street in downtown Fort Myers.
Police say McKinnon had picked up his daughter from daycare at 8 a.m. for a doctor's appointment. Read More: Source NBC-2.com. Child
I am just flabbergasted. How can a parent FORGET that there is a child in the car? What kind of excuse is acceptable? Though I'm sure the family is devastated, I still wonder how such stupidity abounds.
Burlington, NC -- Monday got a little brighter for one Alamance-Burlington Schools employee.
Pam Warren, a first grade teacher assistant at E.M. Holt Elementary, parked in her usual parking spot near the school cafeteria when she noticed something different. There was a white 2007 Kia with a red bow and "To Ms. Warren" written on the windshield.
She was overjoyed and began to cry, but confused by who would do something so generous.
Warren opened the car door to find a box, filled with money and a letter. The money was enough to pay for the taxes, title and six months of insurance for the car. The letter thanked her for everything she's done for the school.
Warren says she's never owned a vehicle newer than 1980.
Now this is my idea of a random act of kindness. What an example...kudos and good karma for the person who so generous donated this gift.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- who has gone to great lengths to hype the supposed dangers of a big government takeover of American health care -- admitted over the weekend that she used to get her treatment in Canada's single-payer system.
"We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada," Palin said in her first Canadian appearance since stepping down as governor of Alaska. "And I think now, isn't that ironic?" Read More: Source/Huffington Post Palin
What a Hypocritical Intellectually Challenged Idiot.
You should always consider the costs of having a companion animal. Food and collars are only two of a whole litany of expenses that the average pet owner will incur within a year. The ASPCA wants you to be ready to care for that new companion in all the ways he/she needs. We've compiled a list of expected annual costs for your new friend. Read More: Source/KHQ Pets Pets
I found this to be very interesting. I never realized the cost, but then cost is not something that was too important. I love my pets, and always find a way to pay for them.
