Mystery hairs match no known species; Yeti may exist

The Yeti may really exist. How freakin' cool is that?




excerpt from this article

[T]ests at Oxford Brookes University on hairs said to be from a Yeti in India have failed to link the strands with any known species.

Ape expert Ian Redmond, who is leading the research, said: "The hairs are the most positive evidence yet that a Yeti might possibly exist.

"It may be that the region this animal is inhabiting is remote enough for it to remain undiscovered so far."

The two hairs - 33mm and 44mm long - were found in a jungle in the mountains of north-east India five years ago.

A forester claimed to seen a Yeti, known locally as mande barung or "forest man", two days in a row breaking branches off trees and eating their sap.

You know, I wouldn't be at all surprised if one of my kids grows up to be a cryptozoologist. They eat this stuff up.

Seriously?

Yesterday's little dogs were reunited with their humans at about 8:30pm last night. Yay!

Got home from a morning errand at about 11am today and found this old lady waiting for us in the front yard. All I could do was laugh. I mean, come ON!





She's sweet, loves the kids, drools a ton, and most of her teeth are worn down to little nubs. The kids say they saw her roaming on Saturday when Grandma took them to the parade, so she's been loose for awhile.






I'm working on tracking down her people from her 2006 city registration tag.
PSA: Put collars and tags on your dogs and make sure the info is CURRENT!

Safe House

I think the local animals have all marked my mailbox and tree with big urinary indicators that flash "Safe house! Safe house!"

Look who was waiting for us at the mailbox when we stepped out today.




Pardon the crappy pictures. They were a bit squirmy.

Surely these sweet little Maltese girls are missed. We've canvassed the neighborhood with no takers yet, but I'm hoping their people are just at work. The girls' feet are dirty, they were hungry and thirsty, and the little one is thin and matted. I'm printing fliers as I type.

Wish them luck!

Charley has cerebellar hypoplasia (like my Toby). Charley is not one of mine, but this is one of the best educational CH videos out there.

Bed el madhi

I just watched this Soaud Massi video on "Nat Geo Music" and was sucked in completely. The rhythms are intricate, the melody enchanting, and the singer so expressive that I couldn't look away. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
