Wordless Wednesday
Looks delicious to me, but there’s no way that little bit of lettuce and tomato can make up for all that bacon!

I think I’ve invented what could be an Easter Hunt for dogs instead of young kids.
Every once in a while when my puppy seems to be acting hungry or deserves a treat I’ll get a very small handful of dry dog food. I throw a couple on the ground ahead of me and whiles she’s occupied I’ll drop one or two somewhere else. Throwing one on a couch or chair, at the base of the stairs and so on.
She loves it. It becomes a food hunt for her and it keeps her busy for 10 to 15 minutes at a time because even once she’s retrieved all the hidden treats she’ll keep checking around to make sure she didn’t miss any. I guess that’s probably because the smell of the food is still hanging around.
Do you do fun things with your dog or other pets to make it think and have some fun?

If you have a car that you don’t use anymore, perhaps an old car, you might want to think about donating your car to charity. There’s a non profit company in the US that makes it simple for you to donate cars, boats, RVs, a house or heck, even a plane to charity.
They use the donations to make videos like the one below for kids and teens. They’ve apparently been able to give away over 2.4 million videos so far and your donation could help them continue to help others who are in need.
Isn’t that a great idea? They’ll even arrange to have your used car or other donation picked up free of charge and they’ll get the paperwork done so that you’ll get an IRS tax deduction for your generous donation.

After rescue workers failed to rescue two stranded pygmy sperm whales that were stranded near a New Zealand beach a bottle nosed dolphin came to their rescue.
Have a look at this news video which tells the tale of the dolphin rescuing the whales. This might be the first time dolphins have been recorded rescuing a whale. Obviously it’s probably not the first time it’s happened, just one of the first time we’ve known about it.
Amazing!

Have you noticed that ads that you’ve perhaps been seeing on the internet over the last year or more are suddenly in magazines and even on TV these days?
Maybe it’s just because I’m in Canada and some of these ads are finally making their way to main stream media here, but over the last month I’ve noticed more and more companies that I’ve seen doing big internet advertising campaigns advertising in magazines and on TV. You know, companies like Lifelock and ones for colon cleanse and several other products.
I thought more and more companies were turning to the internet to advertise but now I’m wondering if they’re changing their minds and going back to main stream advertising. What do you think? Are they putting their money into all kinds of ads or going back to more traditional ways of getting their message out?
