If "Jesus Lizards" Came First, Might Walking On Water Already Been A Miracle? [Videos]

If "Jesus Lizards" Came First, Might JC Have Learned How To Walk On Water From A Reptile?

by Ron Callari

Not to be sacrilegious, but if a lizard first appeared on the planet before the Old Testament and Jesus Christ didn't walk the earth (let alone water) until the New Testament, why is the common basilisk lizard named after him? It's true, while we still don't know what came first, the chicken or the egg, we do know hat "Jesus Lizards" predated the Son of God.

If you have never seen Patches the horse, then it is about time you did. Patches was an incredible horse with a penchant for hanging out with his owners, Robert and Herbert Thompson, and always seemed to want to go wherever they went. So they decided to take the horse up on that. They even had a car remodeled so that Patches could ride along with them.

by Laurie Kay Olson

Fred and Judy Clark are dog people. That must be clearly understood right from the start. Their family was complete with two grown children living with them at the time and their young hunting dog, Jake, a Yellow Labrador Retriever. Then a ginger and white tabby cat named DeBeau moved in next door. He apparently had his own agenda in mind when he arrived.

Scent Hounds Are All Ears

by Ron Callari

For scent hounds who are known for their larger than average 'drop ears,' it begs the question: "What's up with those dumbo-size auricles? Some say it provides their masters with an easy way to pick them up. President Lyndon B. Johnson had two beagles in the White House named Him and Her that raised the ire of the public when he lifted them by their ears while conducting a press conference on the White House lawn.

Forbidden Kitties: The Emperor Of China's Court Cats

by Creature Features

About a hundred stray and semi-feral cats roam the vermilion walkways of Beijing's 500-year-old Forbidden City. Descended from felines “employed” to keep the Chinese emperor's stomping grounds rat-free, these mainly white cats have less work to do these days and by the looks of it they're enjoying their retirement to the max.

The Owl And The Pussy Cat

by Laurie Kay Olson

Remember that old nonsense rhyme about The Owl and the Pussy Cat? The pair started out by going to sea together and ended with dancing by the light of the moon. In a case of life imitating art, Fum the cat and Gebra the barn owl are best friends and enjoy playing with one another as much as they can. There are times when it seems that they might be ready to attack one another, but it is all in fun.

Dog Umbrella For Dogs That Hate To Get Wet In The Rain

by Kitty Devine

The Dog Umbrella may seem ridiculous to some, and indeed it is referred to as a gag gift, but I have known quite a few dogs that were loathe to go out in the rain. Then there are the dog owners who are loathe to the smell of wet dog. Between those two there is nothing to gag on about this idea.
