Re: Random Acts Of Kindness Towards Sick/Injured Animals.
 

I used to live in Cheshire with my husband, it's all countryside and farms. One day a field mouse ran across our kitchen floor, tiny little thing it was, another time i saw it in my dogs food bowl, so knew it wouldn't be long before my dog got hold of it, we went and bought a Humane Trap (a clear box that once inside a rodent can't get out, doesn't cause injury) and i placed a nice big chunk of cheese inside for mousey to nibble on while trapped, anyway a day later there was mousey inside the box, minus the cheese😁 we released him in a nice big field!

I pet bumble bees:yup:

I'm often seen in summer sitting with a spoon and some sugar water feeding a bumble so it can hopefully regain some energy :)

I once felt something tickling the side of my face while in bed watching TV, i presumed it was my hair until it crawled by my eye, it was a small spider but i shot out of bed! 😳

Mum and i have decided to get a puppy Labrador, she's gonna mind her while i'm at work. Haven't decided on a name yet but i'm thinking of something different and unique.

How about "Labbya" for a name if it's female? :drevil: :goof:

If it'a a male call it "Brad" :)

Good at naming things so I am :yup:

There's a cinema in Cape Town called The Labia.

You're welcome.

I can just imagine the mounting excitement waiting for the curtains to draw back :D

Re: Random Acts Of Kindness Towards Sick/Injured Animals.
 

It does have a pretty grand entrance. :D

I do that with house flies... Whenever I see a fly in the house that looks like it's dying I put some water/sugar solution on my hand and they seem to eat/drink it and then gain enough energy for me to put them outside and they fly off and die out in nature instead...

I love animals so I'll always help an animal if I can. Even little house flies. :D

As for spiders, I pick them up if they are in a place where they might get killed by humans or on my bedroom ceiling when I'm off to bed(I don't like the thought of them possibly dropping on me) and move them into another room. We apparently don't have any deadly ones here in the UK but we do have ones that have quite a nasty bite and probably find them more down south of the country.

Lumine it is then ;)
(glad to have been able to help)

That's great. My favourite was a clip from a few years ago in Australia. Obviously during sweltering temperatures someone had laid out a basin full of water for a koala to sit in to cool off. I think he was adding water or even giving the koala a drink and saying "There you go mate" :p.

I just got a new German shepherd bitch. Her name is Dixie. We already have a male called Jack but he is really getting really old now. He's the sweetest dog on the face of the earth. It'm not sure about her yet.

BTW, that picture of the weird carcass that washed up in Texas is apparently some kind of eel that lives in the deep ocean. Must have been washed ashore by the hurricane. Horrible looking thing....😱

I saved a spider today. It was in my car and so small that it was nearly invisible. I only seen it as it was hanging by a thread from the roof. So I caught the thread up in my hand and walked the spider over to a fence post. There he touched down and continued on his way.

That's not nice. ;)

Kind of a similar story: last week I found this huge spider web attached to my back door. (Why do they build webs in the most high-traffic areas?)

Just to open the door I had to destroy the web. So I got a walking stick I had by the door and at first was glad because the ginormous spider in the web hopped right on it. But then he started running up the stick right toward my hand, so I panicked a little and turned the stick around, switching hands, but he reaches the end, loops over it and is now running toward my hand the stick is in again - and he's running like the Flash - it only took him about 2 seconds to run the length of a 5 foot stick. The whole time, I was moving toward a couple small trees and deposited the stick & spider at their base. (Then ran away like a little girl!)

@Dannii - I've changed my mind re the puppy, she should definitely be called "Siffre" :)

Told you I was good at naming things ;)

Why, whatever do you mean, Sir? :D
