Water Birds at Silver Lake
On Saturday, Adam and I took a mini drive to Silver Lake up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was beautiful up there and it got us away from the heat. Not only was the scenery beautiful, but the amount of animals we saw was spectacular!
We saw water birds (some form of duck), deer, squirrels, a chipmunk, and tons and tons of mosquitoes! I was happy to cross off yet another animal species off of my 30-Day Challenge.
The hubs enjoying himself at the Lake (below).
Do you have a favorite place to go to in the summer where you can see many different kinds of animal species?

Vets replace tortoise’s leg with wheel!
I love turtles and ever since I watched "The Last Song" I have dreamed of watching baby turtles hatch and make their long journey to the ocean. This story melted my heart and I wanted to share it with you guys.
A 12-year-old turtle in Washington state underwent a major operation that replaced his injured leg with a wheel! Read the full story here at msnbc.msn.com.
I am so amazed by the medical field and the huge advancements they are making. I am sure happy this little guy gets a second chance, because you know, turtles can live up to 100 years.
Have you heard about any other major medical advancements for animals? If so, I would love to hear about it.

Great White Shark Leaps onto a Boat
I love sharks, but I don't know how I would feel about a 10-foot Great White shark leaping aboard my boat. In fact, that sounds like one of the scariest things ever!

I saw a snake
We had to pick up some dog food over the weekend and while we were at the store I saw a snake, a Ball Python. See the picture I took below.
I have already mentioned my hatred of spiders, but I also don't really care for snakes. I prefer my animals furry, not scaly. I think most of it stems from watching my friend feed her garden snakes live baby mice.
However, I did see one and I wanted you guys to know about it.
How about you, do you hate any animals? What about spiders?

Don't Poop on My Lawn!
I love all animals, well not spiders, and I consider myself to be a very giving and easy-going type of person, but I hate it when my neighbor let's his dogs (yes he has two) poop on my lawn.
My neighbor let's his dogs run around like nuisances! I cleaned up 5, yes 5 dog droppings off my lawn. And to top it all off I came home to one of them squatting on my lawn while the owner was out watching from her front lawn.
I am not sure what to do, I am thinking about writing a nasty letter.
What do you think I should do? Do you have any advice?

Harry Potter Tonight!
At midnight tonight, Adam and I along with thousands of others will be watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (HP). Will you be watching? Planning to see it this weekend?
It is crazy how huge the HP phenomena has become and how fanatic people are. Did you know that some people even name their children after the characters? Now, I don't know about that, but what about naming your pets after them?
I think it would be cute to have a cat named professor McGonagal, or a lizard name Snape.
What do you think? What HP character would you name your pet after?

Who's your favorite and why?
• Fawkes - is Dumbledore's pet phoenix, who's feathers were placed in Harry's and Voldemort's wands.
• Hedwig - is Harry's Snow Owl that delivers very important messages for Harry.
• Nagini - is Voldemort's pet snake, who is used to protect Voldemort's immortality.
• Scabbers - is the Weasley's rat, who turns out to be Peter Pettigrew, a Death Eater.
I think my favorite is Nagini. She is so mysterious and evil. She adds another element to the books and made me jump pretty high in the last movie!

Does Your Dog Snore
Does your dog snore? Ours does, in fact all three of them do! It is kind of funny when it happens because I can tell that they are getting really good sleep.
However, Sometimes Adam and I complain because on more than one occasion we have been woken up by our dog Sparky.
For the most part I don't mind the snoring because it makes me feel loved. Let me explain...when our dogs snore and they are laying on our laps, or at our feet, I can tell that they were so comfortable that they had to fall asleep and snore. Snoring = Comfortable = they trust us & love us! Make sense?
Story: While we were out of town last time, we had Rick from Happy Paws Pet Sitting Plus watch our animals and he said that while he was hanging out with the dogs on the couch that Sparky fell asleep on his lap and snored. Sounds like, my animals are very comfortable around him. I am happy we found a company that treats our animals really well!
Do your dogs snore? How about your cat? Does it annoy you, or does it make you feel loved?

Conjoined Baby Birds
I saw this story the other day and I had to post it. A woman found a set of conjoined baby Robins in her yard. Luckily she has tons of experience taking care of birds.
What are the odds a conjoined birds would fall into her yard? Either way, I am happy they found her because they wouldn't have survived much longer without her help.

A Must Watch - The Honey Badger
I found this video yesterday on Hollywood Gossip and I thought it was hilarious. The video is about the Bad Ass Honey Badger.
I will warn you though there is quite a bit of profanity. Enjoy!

Child Raising V.S. Pet Raising
I am not a mother of a human baby yet, but I do consider myself a mother to all of my pets.
I have raised them all from babies, taken care of them when they were sick, and cleaned up many dirty diapers (i.e. accidents in the house). Adam and I call each other mom & dad, and I even get a card on Mother's Day, but sometimes I wonder, how close is pet raising to child raising?
Or do you even consider the two at all connected?
I hope so, because in my opinion I am a really good pet mommy!
So, what do you think? Is child raising similar to pet raising? I want to know what you think.

My 30-Day Challenge Reveal
You voted and I listened. Looks like I will be taking on challenge #6: Interact in some way with a new animal every day - this includes seeing, petting & holding (can't repeat animal species).
And my 30-Day Challenge starts today!!! I figured I would start off with an easy one. I saw my dogs this morning!
I am really excited for this challenge and all the animals I will get to see, but I know it will be tough. I will try and document my journey the entire way and let you know how I am doing.
Wish me luck, go day one!
