The Animal Planet on TV

Posted by on January 2, 2010 at 7:09 pm

I was watching some animal rescues on the Animal Planet channel and seen some people going to great lengths to save some animals in trouble. I’m not sure how far a human being should go and risk their own lives for an animal’s life. I guess some people really love animals or just want to [...]

Oldest Dog Almost 21 Years Old

Posted by on December 29, 2009 at 6:59 pm

What’s the longest your dog has ever live to be? It’s sad when the family pet dies and often it’s much sooner that we expected to see them go. A dog name Otto is making headlines now and he’s manage to dodge the Grim Reaper to this point and is almost 21 years old! This [...]

We have reached the month of November on our calendars. I’m sure your first thought is the same as mine and it means that November 8th is my birthday? Ok, that is only the way I think about the month of November. I’m sure your first thoughts of November are about eating turkey on Thanksgiving [...]

Timber Rattlers in the USA

Posted by on October 13, 2009 at 7:46 pm

The Timber Rattler is a snake that is pretty common for most U.S. States. It is a snake that has venom that can make you very sick and even be lethal at times. I am someone that doesn’t like any snake and I treat them all like they’re carrying a poison that could hurt me. [...]

Large Animal Rescues by the Fire Department

I heard an interesting story on the news today. It was in Cherokee County, Georgia which is about 40 miles north of Atlanta. The emergency 911 center got a call from a person that was claiming their horse had got stuck in the mud. The recent rains over North Georgia has been causing some minor [...]

Into the Pride

Posted by on August 11, 2009 at 4:24 am

A new show on the Animal Planet network called Into the Pride is going to cause some buzz I’m sure. First off, you have someone that is disturbing a group of lions and it serves no purpose. The host is claiming he needs to get these lions use to humans, so they can continue to [...]

Michael Jackson’s Animals

Posted by on June 28, 2009 at 12:23 pm

The recent death of Michael Jackson has caused a non-stop media event on TV right now. It seems Michael Jackson’s untimely death is still the thing to talk about on the news right now. You can’t turn the channel on television without seeing something about Michael Jackson and it may stay like this until more [...]

Trophy Bass Stories

Posted by on May 13, 2009 at 6:44 pm

Please feel free to post your best trophy bass stories. Talk about the lures you used to catch the big monster and how long it took you to reel it in. I may have to subtract 1 pound for all the weight descriptions; since most fishermen bump up their fish’s weight. Go ahead and tell [...]

West Nile Virus or Swine Flu?

Posted by on May 8, 2009 at 3:25 pm

Two things that we have to worry about these days are West Nile Virus and the new virus they are calling the Swine Flu or H1N1. Does either one of these scare you? Which one do you think is more of a threat to our society? It seems the Swine Flu is the most popular [...]

Does Animal Abuse Exist in Parades?

Posted by on March 18, 2009 at 7:41 pm

I know a lot of TV coverage and other media outlets like to cover stories on animal abuse. Anything that sells newspapers or have people tuning in will be considered news worthy to any news station or newspaper company. They do show some disturbing pictures sometime that come from animal abuse or cruelty to animals. It just [...]

Dog Whisperer Grows in Fame

Posted by on March 6, 2009 at 3:49 pm

How many people know the name Cesar Millan? Perhaps a few people would recognize the name and know who he is, but lots more people would know him by another name. How many people have heard of the Dog Whisperer? I’m sure lots of people have watched that show before or seen it advertising on [...]

1 Big Bass is All It Takes

Posted by on March 3, 2009 at 8:04 pm

Fishermen are already gearing up for the warm weather to arrive, so they can head to the lake for some good ol fashion fishing. Those that get in tournaments take their fishing a bit more serious and a good reason why. So many top name sponsors follow these fishing tours each year and the winner [...]

The Popularity of Dolphins

Posted by on February 28, 2009 at 7:20 pm

Dolphin popularity has never been higher than the attention this animal is getting today. I’m not sure where man’s interest in dolphins started, but I know in 1964 a TV show by the name of Flipper hit the air waves and everyone loved to watch Flipper. No matter how much trouble Sandy would get into, it [...]

Fishing in the Air

Posted by on February 18, 2009 at 10:18 am

Some of these warm days in winter time make me think about fishing. I can just feel that fishing time is near as the weather starts to warm up. I love to fish and I will fish for just about anything. I like to sit at the river and cast a line out with a [...]

Posted by on February 13, 2009 at 8:01 pm

The Westminster Kennel Club recently held their annual event to see who has the best dog in show. The 2009 winner was a Spaniel Sussex and this is a very rare dog in the United States. It’s estimated that about 600 of these are in the U.S., so that would be about a dozen in [...]
