Withering heights

Calm down, Brontë aficionados: Let the terrible pun (redundant?) live, and enjoy the view.

Checking in with Casey

 We haven't seen Caseyface on here for a while. Let's check in an see what she's been up to.

She's been looking up,

 ... looking down,

... finding the perfect place to nap.

All in all, she's been very busy.

Little great Dane

Great Dane puppies certainly are great. Like this one.

 Uh oh, the cute meter is going off the charts.

 Be strong, you can handle it.

 No, you can't handle it.

 Puppy in front, full-grown dog in the back, for scale (did not have a quarter handy).

Soon, she will be as big as (or bigger than) a miniature horse.

Thirsty Thursday

 Kitten at the watering hole for Thirsty Thursday.

 Yes, we've been watching.

He's outta here.

Chernobyl: Life in the Dead Zone

This documentary isn't as scary as it may seem because it has "Chernobyl" in the title. It's got kittens, bears, butterflies, hawks, boars, elk, a lone wolf—all kinds of cute, really, and no three-eyed fish. However, all of the animals are radioactive.

It's timely because of the nuclear meltdowns happening in Japan, of course, but it's also worth considering whether "clean" nuclear energy is worth such risks. As the movie says,

"It's a story that could have happened anywhere." 

Watch part 1 here.

Hat tasting

The horse wants to eat the little girl's hat, but her dad says no. Boo!

Horse feathers

The extra hair around the feet of some breeds of horses, like the Clydesdale here, are called feathers.

Imagine how hard it is to keep them clean. But they are lovely.
