I ran across the most interesting article yesterday regarding dog to dog behaviour, I'll post it if you like but it is pretty long but I found it really interesting.

Re the driftwood, we collect really nice bits too, then we bring them home and waterlog them for our fishtanks but there is still plenty of other stuff on the beaches here for burning, I can't imagine it being any other way. The same goes for shells, I collect the most beautiful shells when we go out - every beach has slightly different ones from long tapering spiral shells (different colours depending on lacality too I've noticed) to small delicate curled ones that are very fragile and almost transluscent to empty mussel shells that have a rainbow effect inside them, scallops shells with their pretty shape and frilled edges, oyster sheels that get the imagination working like an artists sculpture... It's really only since I've talked to people from other countries where this is not the norm that I have really learnt to look at what we have on offer from nature here and count my blessings!

Our zoo has gone completely away from the animals behind bars concept (it's an on going ambition and there are still a few things that will change in the years ahead). The lions for example are seperated by a moat edged with a dry stone wall but they are at eye level with the zoo visitors with no visable barries inbetween. I could go on but I won't because I need to go feed this kitty (I'll do a quick post on that above) but suffice to say I would not feel comfortable visiting a zoo where the animals were straight out exhibits. It pleases me that our zoo tries so hard, is involved in conservation of endangered species too but also knows when enough is enough (they had just spayed one of their lioness the day Daniel and I were there as she comes from a well represented gene pools in zoos so there is not much point breeding her further). Fansy spaying a lioness!!! Wow, now that's a job and a half, LOL!!
