Leaf insect: The most incredible mimetism ever

I just discovered this insect and I'm amazed. It is the most radical form of camouflage I have ever seen.
Nothing left to say.
Ah! Its scientifical name is  "Phyllium bioculatum" but it's known as "leaf insect". It is found in Malaysia.

Aww! California Red-Sided Garter Snake

They are gorgeous!
Keep them away from paracetamol: "Paracetamol is extremely toxic to cats and should not be given to them under any circumstances as cats lack the necessary enzymes to safely metabolize paracetamol. Paracetamol is also lethal to snakes, and has been used in attempts to control the brown tree snake in Guam." info from here.

This is what Mr. Curtice wrote about this shot:

Jeramie Curtice  Thanks Sharon. They are blue and fast, hence the name blue racer. This one took off on me almost as fast as I could jog as it found the nearest tree and then stopped at eye level for a pose.

Puppy and older dog sleeping

Two generations meeting in their dreams. Am I lucky or what?

Aww! Yorkshire's puppies: how to teach a puppy to respect older dog

I still didn't had time to take a nice picture of my puppy and the older but he looks like the first one on the right.

If you did read the other two posts about my puppy you know I'm teaching the puppy. I had noticed that my older dog was asking for my intervention to stop the puppy to approach her in the childish way.

Yesterday I did read that, yes, it is the human who has to teach the dog. 

Everything.

Today she has gone back to her favorite place at the kitchen and the puppy understands "NO!".

Since he arrived with forty five days things are not as hard as I thought.

My older dog is fifteen years-old and she is very healthy thou she has cancer. She is asymptomatic now and she only had a surgery in 2008 to remove the right mammals and another one in 2011 to remove a tumor on her head.

I didn't want any treatment because I've seen many people and dogs get worse or die do these interventions.

Of course the puppy is here because I fear so much losing her that I wanted to have a dog who had any kind of connection to her and learned a little from her wisdom.

Things are fine now and I'm happy now. I was regretting having bring the puppy because things were not fine  but now I know what I have to do.

Help! Puppy waking human mom in the middle of the night

I'm sleepy and tired. He did it again, of course, and woke me up "crying" in the middle of the night.

I'm exhausted because I have to take care of my older dog so that she feels secure that she'll not lose her kingdom.

Hard job!

I'm searching for techniques and just found this idea at a forum. I guess I'm gonna do it.

You guessed right if you thought that I didn't blog for the last three days because of my dogs. I'm also having my house repaired. I have three posts labeled as "draft" because I didn't have time to finish them.

Now I have to sleep... ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Too busy saying "NO"" to puppy

My puppy wants to bite everything and I'm teaching him not to bite.

Most things he does I have to say "NO!".

It's hard to be a dog in a human environment he has already complained.

The picture is not him. It is Marcie Mae but he looks like her. He has more black hair and I'm having problems taking a good picture. You know, I have to take care of him and say "NO!" the most effective and not traumatic way.

It is so hard to be a human mom! But I'm enjoying every minute...

Old dog jealous of puppy: human mom have to be patient

My fifteen years-old dog is not happy with the puppy, forty five days
old, that arrived yesterday.

She is at the kitchen now and I'm in the middle of two generations trying my best to let her know that she will not lose anything.

For the moment she doesn't even look at the puppy who woke me up licking my face at three a.m..
I'm sleepy now and looking forward to the adaptation period ends.

I can't hardly wait to see both of them together but it will take a while.
Life is so hard!

Add your cat at the world cat map

The London Zoo created the site Cat Map where cat owners can introduce their cat to the world.
I'm sure that Holly will be at this map Susan. Nell is telling you to add Holly.She is trying to find something similar to dogs and she didn't.
This is not fair.

Aww mothers with instincts

They know everything about parenting and their mothers
are not there to help.
Maternal instinct in humans? I have my doubts.

Macaw couples in Brazil

Macaws are very known in Brazil and we are so used to them that we forget to pay attention.

I found the picture of the top left and noticed that the contours around both makes a heart.

I tried to identify the photographer but didn't succeed but other pictures of these birds made me see the beauty. The couples are seen flying in the skies at the state of Mato Grosso in the pantanal region.

The blue macaws are my favorites.
