JackChi (Chihuahua/Jack Russel Terrier) Peanut

Peanut
"Peanut has the greatest story!"
2009-07-21

Here’s what Meredith Haley Sonson says about Peanut:

"Peanut is so special and I was meant to have found him. Two days after one of my cats passed away and I was so depressed. Peanut came into my life and brought me smiles. I found him in traffic. He was terrified, injured, starving and so dirty that I could not tell that he was a white dog. To make a long story short, I stopped the car and got out to look for him and he was gone. I was distraught. I got back in my car and looked up in my rear view mirror to see a little head with beautiful big brown eyes looking back at me! That was then. Today, about a year later, Peanut is so loved, spoiled, confident, affectionate and my baby forever. I would have a hole in my heart without him and I would not know why. He will never have to fear anything anymore. Peanut is love!"

"Check out how cute a goat can be!"

Here’s what Melanie Furlotte says about Rocky:

"Rocky is a best mans goat. ~Smile~ He is a ball of fun. He travels everwhere in the car with us and is quite the attention getter. If he doesn’t have people near him, he makes noise till he is known. Pet stores love him and there is no drive through fast food, that they can not give him a treat! I mean how can you not. LOOK at him! Look at his sweet, loving eyes!"

"Rocky is a most unusual pet, how did you keep such a great pet a secret for so long? We are thinking there should be a goat in every houshold. Thanks for sharing Rocky with us."

Moorish Idol Video – A Most Excellently Beautiful Fish

Here is another short video of a beautiful fish that is almost impossible to keep in an aquarium. The moorish idol played a main role in the film ‘Finding Nemo’. The film character was named ‘Gill’ and was sort of a father figure and protector to Nemo in the movie.

The Moorish Idol is one of the most beautiful aqarium fish. Unfortunately, they are extremely difficult to keep in captivity and should not be purchased for your aquarium. Best leave this one where it can survive, in the ocean! Another fish that looks similar to the Moorish Idol, but can be kept successfully in an aquarium is the Longfin Bannerfish, Heniochus acuminatus. Other species of Heniochus can also be easy to keep in an aquarium.

The Moorish Idol, Zanclus cornutus or “Crowned Scythe”, is the only member of the family Zanclidae. It eats sponges, tunicates and other benthic invertebrates in the wild, which explains why aquarists have an impossible time getting them to eat in captivity. This is a beautiful fish that should be left in the ocean.

Here’s what Kieryn says about Bluebell:

"She loves to eat bell pepper from your hand and give you kisses when she’s done. We rescued her from a backyard breeder in bad health and she’s still the sweetest little fluff ball we have ever met, and much healthier now."

"Bluebell is actually kind of blue! Shes a great looking rabbit and cuter than cute. Thanks for sharing her with us."

Bearded Dragon – Marley

Marley
"Cuddlier than the average reptile!?"
2009-06-22

Here’s what Victoria Phillips says about Marley:

"Marley is my Bearded Dragon, 2 to 3 months old. He is really cuddly, more cuddly than your average reptile! He is full of energy- he squirms around in my hands when I pick him up, and he always runs around his cage when I give him crickets. Despite wiggling, he loves being picked up. After a bit, he stops, stares up at the person who’s holding him, and cuddles up in your hands. He’s one of the best pets I’ve ever had!"

"What beautiful pictures of Marley. Having a cuddly reptile is a rarity in our book. Enjoy! Thanks for sharing Marley with us."
