Linked because there's something distinctly less cute and uplifting going on in the sidelines. I can't help but love big waddling crocs just wobbling themselves towards the food with their mouths open though. :3:

There is a 6-year-old yellow Lab being given away free locally because the owners are moving. I can't adopt him, but I want to. Look at this guy and read this description:

Maybe they're moving to an apartment and they don't think the dog could handle being cooped up? I'm not sure. I'm giving this guy the benefit of the doubt since he clearly cares about the dog.

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt in these situations. We just had a dog returned to the shelter I volunteer at because a new company took over their apt complex and changed the pet policy. No grandfathering and they couldn't afford to move. Apartment life can be hard to swing with pets.

Well he's definitely not gigantic and he isn't long haired, but he's black, so here is a Max. I hope 1/3 is acceptable

quote:

Just when you think you've heard all the stories about Mr Rogers that make you mist up and realize just how good of a person he was another one pops up.

When Mr Roger's Neighborhood started in 1968 the country was just 4 months removed from the assassination of Dr King, and Fred Rogers introduced his neighborhood to Officer Clemmons, a black police officer who was a kindly, responsible authority figure and was Mr. Roger's equal, colleague and neighbor.

Around the 1 year anniversary of Dr King's death Mr. Rogers invited Officer Clemmons to join him in soaking their tired feet in a plastic wading pool. And there they were, brown feet and pasty white feet, side by side in the water. Silently, contemplatively, without comment.

25 years later, when the actor playing Officer Clemmons retired, his last scene on the show revisited that same wading pool, this time reminiscing. Officer Clemmons asked Mr. Rogers what he'd been thinking during their silent interlude a quarter century before. Fred Rogers' answer was that he'd been thinking of the many ways people say "I love you."

TL;DR Mr Rogers is still awesomesauce.

Well, your bodyweight would set off a landmine, but a rat's bodyweight won't. So they're more suited to the task, if that makes you feel any better.

They also have very good sniffers, so they help find where the mines are. Humans gotta use metal detectors and stuff.

The rats are also being trained to detect cases of tuberculosis by smell. And to add to the :3:, when they get to the age of 6 or so the rats are retired, and spend the rest of their lives chilling out and eating fruit.

Friend of mine had rats for a while and says they eventually learned to be lookouts for each other, so that when you came in the room and saw one propped up on its hind legs and squeaking, you knew to look for the other one immediately, because it was almost certainly getting up to something it wasn't supposed to. :3:
