Jonah

November 30th, 2008

Jonah is [a] little dog that was hit by a car and left in the streets for 3 days, fed and watered by locals who called authorities for help. Help arrived 3 days later in the form of a trash compactor. As people took photos and videotaped what happened next[,] the world watched in horror as he was dragged by a noose around his neck with two broken legs to the trash compactor and thrown in and carted away to what they thought would be his grave. As Jonah was being dragged, videos clearly show authorities in the background laughing at this poor dog being tortured. Somehow, we don’t know how, Jonah survived this ordeal. Some say he was not crushed by the trash compactor however it has been said several of his vertebrae were crushed, he was rescued from the trash along with another dog found there and taken to a veterinarians office where he has been receiving treatment. Hopefully when he is strong enough he will have surgery and will be able to get on with his life.

People around the world fell in love with Jonah, we all prayed and gave positive thoughts on his survival; it must have worked because he is still with us. He was offered several homes outside of Turkey upon his release from the veterinarian’s office.

This is the less brutal version of the video, because it’s a collection of pictures.

This is the raw footage (warning: offensive graphics). I couldn’t finish the video, because it was just too painful for me to hear the dog whimpering nonstop.

Please help this lady’s mission to rescue and adopt Jonah by signing this petition. Or if you’re a Facebook member, join the group. It just breaks my heart that some people think of animals as merely things with no feelings.

Snoring ..

November 27th, 2008

Eating too much turkey on turkey day makes you sleepy.

Is snoring only a human thing? Or other creatures do it too? My Cocker Spaniel Joey snores, but that’s the only animal I know that could snore. But I guess other creatures snore too

Duckiesss!

October 28th, 2008

I remember during summer, I went shopping to this strip mall that’s located next to a small lake. I remember earlier this year, the lake looked clear & clean. Towards summer, the lake became green & looked dirty. I do hope that its location (surrounded by retails stores & located next to a highway) doesn’t make it a prime dumping place.

When I was leaving the strip mall, I saw the cutest sight ever: a family of duckies crossing an intersection! Looked like a large extended family of duckies; had several adults & lots of baby duckies. I had my camera phone, but since I drive an SUV & the ducks are short, my camera phone wouldn’t be able to get a good shot of them anyhow. I think the crossing lasted about 5 minutes & held up a few cars. I didn’t mind, since it was such a rare sight. It was amazing that everyone stopped; after all, it was during rush hour.

Since I don’t have pictures of that cute incident, I pulled up some videos.
