UNCHECKED HISTORY

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

Polar explorers love their pets - penguins very much. And care of this birds. There is a special work at polar station: “The person who overturns penguins”. The problem consists in the following. Penguins are very curious. And rather silly. They are not able to make a conclusion. Their natural conditions of life are not variety. Therefore, presence of people is dangerous for them. If the penguin has fallen to a back, it cannot turn over. It is arranged so anatomically. In natural conditions it falls only on a stomach. The penguin appears in a difficult situation when it has fallen to a back. But their curiosity is stronger than fear of danger. They come whole the company on station to observe, when something occurs at station. All is safe, if the car passes or the plane arrives. The problem arises, if the plane flies up. Penguins observe of plane when it flies up very attentively. Penguins that are at the rate of the plane fall on a back when the plane passes a point of zenith. And “the person who overturns penguins” is hurry to help poor birds.
This history is pleasant to me very much. Even if it is thought up.

HOME DUETES (continuation)

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

What is pleasant in home duets? That it is possible to do this work every day and it does not come to an end. For example: to feed small children. You like to feed small, disobedient, inaccurate children? And our dog Masha very much liked to do this work. The child requires that his hands frequently should be washed. Especially kid requires it during a dinner. She had a possibility to do it with her tongue. Cleared babies hands of a dirty, traces of porridge and crumbs of bread. At the same time she cleaned “removed” slices of sausage, cheese and a sandwich from hands. The small child drops something on a floor very often. It is necessary to clean it too. Sweets, apples, a cake. Masha did it very quickly. As a real professional. As a result my children have learned to eat quickly and to be accurate during a dinner. Masha watched it strictly.
Lada is very glad of spring. She knows that we replace indoor plants in the spring. And Lada likes to help to do it very much. She helps to get plants from old pots. Also she does not understand, why we throw out those plants which she has got. Plants cannot simply go through “massage” which Lada makes them. My family go in park for all the day every spring. Go without me. They take only Lada. These trips are good for everybody: for me, family, Lada and for indoor plants …

Comments of Kira: It is possible to meet the grandmother when she comes on a visit with delicacy. It is possible to make together with mum a dinner. To work as the taster at this time. There is always a lot of work in the house.

INTERESTING SHEEP

Wednesday, June 14th, 2006

Today I have read very amusing article in the newspaper.
The farmer from Northern Wales whose name is Emlin Roberts has rescued a lamb from death and has grown up it together with sheep-dogs in one house. As a result at a lamb whose nickname is Rolo strongly pronounced dog habits have developed. It likes to watch TV together with the owner and to guard ducks. The farmer has trained the sheep-dogs, and together with them Rolo to force to enter ducks in a special shelter at his court yard. “It grows precisely the same as a dog. It is possible to tell, it perceives itself a dog. It jumps through a hoop and is rolled from a hill, as a dog. It is very clever sheep, not such as all others”, - the farmer speaks. As he said, the sheep became omnivorous. It eats everything that is given to it, especially likes nuts. Rolo eats dog forage with pleasure. Even barks sometimes …. My God, as I want to have such sheep! And even to try to bring up caw together with cats. And children with pigs. Though, it seems to me, my children and without this experience are excellent “pigs”!

BIRDS ARE VERY INERESTING

Monday, June 5th, 2006

You have decided to bay a parrot. They are really very touching and amusing. But it is necessary to choose a bird correctly. Otherwise together with feathery “interlocutor” you will get a lot of efforts. The bird should be mobile and alive, its plumage - smooth, and eyes brilliant. If the parrot sits on a pole, having ruffled up and having covered eyes, look for other bird better.

BIG FRIEND OF HUMANITY

Monday, June 5th, 2006

It is impossible to imagine a history of mankind without a horse. The horse plays such big role in human life, that everywhere where there are horses, the horseshoe is considered an amulet. The first ancient Greeks have believed in happy horseshoes : it was very important for them, that the horseshoe is made of “magic” iron. Iron was the big deficiency at that time. That fact that, the horseshoe is similar to a month bringing success was important for Greeks too.
The belief in magic force of a horseshoe constantly grew. In Middle Ages was considered that witches are afraid of horses with their “iron” footwear. In Europe there is a legend about st.Dansten, the smith from Canterbury. Once the devil has come to him and has asked the smith to attach horse horseshoes to its legs. But Dansten has understood, whom actually is his visitor was and has won a devil. When “visitor” began to ask not to kill him, the smith has demanded, that the devil would not visit a houses on which doors horseshoes hang.

DAIRY FEVER

Sunday, June 4th, 2006

Everyone knows that the cat has nine lives. It does not mean that it is possible to rely to a cat scornfully. The cat needs attention in nine times more. If your cat is pregnant, observe of it not only up to and during childbirth. Do not disregard her and after childbirth. “Mum” can have dairy fever (Eclampsia) during several weeks after childbirth. If it has been borne a lot of kittens, the risk of occurrence of disease raises. Silent and even loud groans, fast breath, restless behavior - attributes of illness. Cat can recover and without help of a doctor. It happens also such. But it is better to show it to a doctor, in order to prevent complication of illness. Before arrival of the doctor, give her preparations of calcium.

DANGER FOR POACHERS

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

I have read in magazine:
In the some cynologic center the dog capable to reveal poachers with smell is prepared. Such dogs never existed. Was considered, that dogs are capable to find only the weapon, drugs and disappeared people. The dog belongs to breed of labradors. Dog have brought on a smell of a fish of sturgeon breeds, now it is trained to react on caviar aromas. And it is considered a sensation? And I cannot understand in any way, what here unusual? If to explain to a dog, that it should search, it will perform any work. Dogs search a truffle.
