Who was it that said animals can't love?  I think they can love
their adoptive families!  This just might convince some non pet
owners.  But no matter what it is worth viewing even a second
time if you have seen it before.  Brought a tear to this old
fart.

Of course animals can love their family.

I hate to burst anyone's bubble but I think the story in the video is false.

That does not look like a male lion, old enough to have his own pride.
No mane, no visible male parts.  I think it's hokum.

There are more than one pair of loons on the lake here but one pair will
swim from across the lake when they see me out in the boat.  Yesterday
they came over and swam around the boat for a half hour.  I've never
tossed them minnows or anything but they remember me from year to year.
 I didn't take the boat out this morning but sat for a while on the
stone bench overlooking the lake.  The loons spotted me and swam in to
the dock and visited for quite a while.  They were still there when I
left and it is way too shallow for them to fish.  I don't know how it
works but I manage to communicate with lots of wild animals.

Some sort of sympathetic vibrations.

I didn't see a name tag on the lion in the video.  Did you?

How do I know it's the same lion?

Color me skeptical that this was a lion mature enough to have his own
harem and fight off mature males.

I like loons.  Probably my favorite bird since I was a kid.

You probably never hear one in El Paso.

It's the Minnesota state bird.

But I communicate with many other birds and animals.  I feel sorry for
those that lack that ability.  I can stand perfectly still in a dense
woods and tune in to exactly what has been happening there.  It's as
plain to me as watching a movie on TV.

At the Lake Corpus KOA I had an egret who would follow my boat when I
returned to shore and I would toss him catfish bellies.  He didn't trust
anyone else to get close except me.  On cold and rainy days when I
didn't go out to fish, he would walk up to my RV and eye me through the
window.  Also had a blue heron I had half trained when I stopped going
to the KOA.

Just about everyone with an IQ over 75!

>I think they can love their adoptive families!

Only *total nutcases* employ weirdo terms like: "adoptive families" in
conjunction with animals!!  :(  We hear this crap on a daily basis
from the humane society lu-lus!

Normal people, unless they are totally nutz, do not *adopt*
animals!  If animals are useful, you eat 'em; if they are not useful,
you exterminate 'em!

Well, finally! Admitting that you're not normal is the first step
towards recovery.

We humans *have* to adopt them. How else would we get them?

Mike,

When did you turn into this person you've become.

Kissing up to Will when he takes swipes at people.

You really are a sad case.

Uh uh, Mike, you're on the road to getting plonked.  One more
anti-fuzzy wuzzy animal crack, and you'll have to share her filter
with the likes of me.  A fate worth than death (in her mind.)

Carl, you are behind on this one.  I was put in her filter long ago

Sadly, you hadn't yet been plonked in the new laptop...

New version of Agent, no one was plonked.

Maybe before you are you could explain to me how saying I've adopted a
dog, well, three dogs... is a confession.

That was the "confession" that Will was referring to.  At least that

It's out of context.... that's okay.... ankle biters are just
annoying, not deadly.

I figured that you were just bragging! Up this way, you have a *far*
better chance of adopting a child (you know . . .same species kind)
than meeting the requirements of our local 'Humane' Society for
'adopting' a 14 year old diabetic dawg!

But you can't argue with success! Our Humane Society has built one of
the most impressive multi-acre resorts for dawgs, not even approached
by most of the best country clubs in the area; not to mention the
squalid facilities available for the old and infirm.

Based upon available facilities: mere dawgs are regarded more highly
than other humans on about a 1000:1 ratio.

Hi Stan,

I knew you were just catfishing... I've seen you with my dogs and I
know what picture you have hanging... was it over the piano? (c:

If you think its hard adopting from a humane society... try adopting
from a rescue.

Blush! Yep, it was over my piano; and although all of the kidz wedding
pics have been assigned to mothballs, that mangy Scot is still hanging
over my piano! (Duh!) <giggle>

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=291eq2g&s=3

As with any intriguing painting, intent is left to the viewer. And
after years of looking at this very same dawg, I still wonder what he
was up to. For sure, from the perplexed expression on his face, I'm
not sure that even he knew was he was up to.

Over the years, I've always figured that the easy road, is to assume
that he is some sort of "Good Shepherd" about to save an innocent lamb
from falling over a perilous precipice.

On the other hand, 'Brady' (that's the name I've given to my doggie on
the wall over the piano), mischievious or not, he has obviously had a
rather rough day, and is faced with the dilemna of choosing between
hunger and an attractive dinner menu??

Lamb?? .  .  .  .  . Anyone? :-)  <giggle>

It's always sad to see someone who was unfortunate enough to be born
without a heart. RORT proves it's not an uncommon birth defect.
