This is my Mariah, a 3 1/2 year old chocolate shar pei.  I got her when she was 9 months old and she came with her name!!  How perfect! 

They really have learned from wonderful parents.  I think that has contributed to survival.

Thanks so much, Donna!!  I'll give it a try!!!!  I wanted to post under pets and I also have some panda pictures!

Oh so my computer is finally working and I can have access to pictures, mail and such.  If I have a picture I have taken and want to attach it to a post, how do I do it? ???

I LOVE the narratives from the Canadian watchers!  Glad Jack is back.  I remember when the Blue Angels were here in Rochester when we had juvies.  As though the smokestacks weren't enough of a nerve wracking experience!

As Leopold and our Mariah show-- age is irrelevant

These folks may not be ready for us

Sweet pictures of Larry the juvie peregrine who had a mishap.  This is a great site

This was great!  Such a good laugh!

I love all these smileys!

Hmm, maybe this is what Archer was doing when he was flying to Mariah and then Beauty? 

How cute!  I love the pictures!!!  I have to dig out some of mine!

And how adorable this little one is!  But aren't they all!

Probably 9 of them were from here.  They love canada 

If the other two leave this fall, I have a feeling we might see her in more familiar places. 

This sends me into another dimension.  On ABC news tonight, they interviewed some guys who wanted to kill wolves.  One guy said he eats deer and the wolves are competing with him.  Another said it costs a farmer 400 dollars to replace an animal killed by a wolf.

Unlike these idiots, wolves only kill what they and their pack can eat.  They are not killers for the sake of killing.

Wolves are majestic creatures.  I hope they are put back on the endangered species list.  And they will be if these hunters have their way.  This is bad enough but the aerial hunting of wolves in alaska is beyond disgusting
