Brave mother

This is a lovely story from August 2012.

A fire broke out in a building in Santa Rosa de Temuco, Chile. A German Shepherd cross called Amanda risked her life to rescue her 10-day-old puppies. She ran between the burning house and the fire truck over and over again until all puppies were safe. After rescuing all of her pups from the blaze, Amanda sat down next to them, protecting them with her body as the firefighters fought the blaze.





Unfortunately, one of the puppies suffered very severe burns and died later that day. The others survived and were reunited with Amanda after treatment.

This is hard

The horror of today's events is just too much to bear.


Rest in peace, dear children.


Cold weather cartoons

Mrsgunka sent me a load of cartoons and I selected a few. I also added a couple I had saved earlier.

Stay warm!







Thank you, MrsG.

Trompe l'oeil

Mrsgunka sent me these amazing photos of body painting. MrsG remarked : "Saw a building in Berlin that had zippers painted on each end. One end the zippers was closed and the other end was open and showed windows with flower boxes painted on the plain wall... looked absolutely real!"

I have always been fascinated by trompe l'oeil. Thank you, MrsG.
