Comments (6) A few animal videos that are making me smile today. Hopefully they will make you smile too! First up, cats on a treadmill.
Next, dog and dolphin interaction.
A cat, standing up like a person looking out a window.
And an oldie but goodie of Baby the Maltese and her favorite things.
We went to Las Vegas for my birthday. It was, after all, a semi-big birthday. I turned 35 of all things! Remember how I made a list of birthday wishes? Not only did many come true, but many fabulous things happened that weren’t on the list. Here was my list (including some major budget busting wishes, but that is what a wish is for, right?):
While in Las Vegas, other dreams came true. I have always wanted to swim with dolphins, and while we didn’t get to do that, we did visit them and they were so close! I kept wanting to reach out and touch them, and I could have done that too if it was allowed! They were also very fun and friendly, playing and jumping out of the water. We also saw the sharks, stingrays, and jellyfish at Mandalay Bay, where I did touch stingrays many times! Also, we went to Titanic exhibit at the Luxor where we were staying. Eating at The Rainforest Cafe was another highlight, especially since they sat us right next to a fish tank. So many happy memories to start a new year with.
Back at home we celebrated with my family, who gave me some awesome gifts. For the garden, a tether ball set and Bocce ball set. We are going to have loads of fun in the backyard this summer. Also some books from my wish list, a game for the Wii, and even a gift card for another overnight in a theme hotel. I got spoiled! Seems only fair since I had to get older. 
June was a busy month all around actually, and so there will be many catching up posts to come. Oh yes, and did I mention that we saw PINK FLAMINGOS in Las Vegas too? Well, we did!
Today I rescued two baby robins from my parent’s window well. The nest was in a tree not too far from the window, and had obviously been broken apart (probably thanks to the snow storm on Monday). My mom was in the basement this morning and saw movement in the window. And luckily for the baby birds, the parent birds were aware of where they were. I was able to get them out with a pond skimmer, almost like a net, but they didn’t seem to like it that much. I’m sure it was scary for them.
Here is one of the babies after being rescued. This one seemed to be a lot more scared of the ordeal than the other one was, and found it’s way into a bush to hide. I had to get it out of there though so it would go over to where the other baby was, who was getting worms from mama bird.
Also, I called the wildlife department to find out what we should do next. They said that the best thing is to get them back up into the nest. With the nest half gone, that wasn’t an option. They said that if the babies are on the ground and the parents know where they are, they still have a good chance of surviving, other than cats and dogs. The cats are going to be the biggest problem, as my parent’s neighborhood is full of strays and pet cats that live outside.
We did our best though, and now will just keep our fingers crossed that they make it.
