I found this 3:39 minute video on youtube and it’s amazing. This little dog named Maggie knows how to add, subtract and multiply numbers. Definitely worth showing your toddlers to encourage them to learn math. Afterall, they don’t want a dog to be smarter then they are.
World’s Ugliest Dog Contest
Gus captured the hearts and votes of judges tonight at the 20th Annual World’s Ugliest Dog Contest held at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma. Gus was rescued from a bad home in FL and is now suffering from skin cancer, Gus’ story was compelling, but he won based on his looks. A Chinese-Crested, he has no hair, only three legs (one amputated because of the skin tumor) and is missing an eye lost to a tomcat in a cat fight. Despite his tough background, Gus is loved by mother and daughter owners Jeanenne and Janey Teed, who brought him all the way from Florida to enter into the contest.

You’ve all heard about the recent rash of tornadoes that have ripped through many areas of the country. Did you stop to think about the pets that were in the tornado paths? Me neither, but check these pets and their stories out!
After the tornado – Greensburg, KS
The story begins with the rescuers finding this poor little guy they named Ralphie. Someone had already taken him under their wing but weren’t equipped to adopt;
Ralphie, scared and starved, joined his rescuers…

I wouldn’t think anything could live thru this… but we were wrong.

The little lady below also survived that wreckage.

Here she is just placed in the car – scared, but safe.

and then…they are no longer alone! Instant friends, they comforted each other while in the car.

Oh boy, a new traveler to add to the mix… (note: the cat coming over the seat needing shelter…) now just how is this going to work??? – and remember they are all strange to one another
I hope this gang of survivors gets to their original homes or to the homes that they’re deserving of!
