From the fine folks at the Dodo, this is just an absolutely wonderful story about a guy who bought a school bus, outfitted it properly…and every day drives his route to pick up dogs to take them to a wide-open dog park to play.

On this week’s ‘Not My Job’ segment of the NPR quiz show Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, the guest is Dr. Rae Wynn-Gran, a leading expert on large carnivores, and is one of the hosts on the new Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. Her interview with host Peter Sagal is charming, with several quite-interesting stories and even warmly amusing.
This is the full Wait, Wait… broadcast, but you can jump directly to the “Not My Job” segment, it starts around the 18:30 mark. The Adventures of Kotara and Hana continue… It's been a while since I've posted of video of the pair, so it's been long enough for us to get back to them. This time, we get to watch the rambunctious otters open doors for one another. Yes, I find this wonderfully entertaining. It takes about three minutes into the video to get to that (though their playing around beforehand is fun on its own), but then for the next four minutes, the compassionate otters show what thoughtfulness is about – except when Kotaro decides to screw around with Hana and pretend he doesn’t see her wanting to get in. By the way, one of my favorite thing about these videos – other than the joy of watching the playful, smart, goofy otters – is the production of the videos, both the choice of music used, and the witty “dialogue.” Just so you know, the text written in blue is what Kotaro is supposedly thinking, the pink text is Hana’s thoughts, and what the owner is thinking is in white. From the fine folks at The Dodo, once again as we do every year at this time, I just thought it would be the fine and proper thing to post a video on Groundhog Day about, no, not the movie, but an actual groundhog. All the better since it's such a wonderful one. Returning to our World o’ Squirrels, we have yet one more example of what appears to be great loyalty that squirrels seem to show when they get rescued. From the fine folks at the Dodo, a guy tried to release a squirrel that he rescued, but it was to no avail because she always kept coming back. Interestingly, this is almost the same experience I’ve had with my longtime friend Rob Hedden who himself dearly loves squirrels and has apparently picked up this characteristic, because I can’t get rid of him. As I’ve noted previously, I enjoy squirrel videos, though not as much as my squirrel-crazy friend Rob Hedden. In the last squirrel video I posted, it showed the great loyalty that squirrels seem to have when they get rescued – and here’s another in that vein. From the fine folks at the Dodo, a squirrel keeps coming back to its rescue mom. |
