"How Great is Our God?!" DVD

Yesterday we enjoyed watching Louie Giglio's DVD "How Great is Our God?". We were amazed at the many different pictures of space and the sizes of the stars beyond our galaxy.
Many of these pictures have been taken by the Hubble Telescope (click on the words to be taken to it's site).

Blue Tongue Lizard

There has been one mistake with this post, Blue Tongue Lizards tails DO fall off as a defence mechanism.

Pet Project Movie

Here is a movie I made on E3's Pet projects. I hope you like it.

Our Visit from the SPCA

Today we had a visit from Nicolle, the SPCA Education Officer. She was most helpful and shared lots of interesting stories.

Below is what we learnt:
SPCA stands for
S ociety (for the)
P revention (of)
C ruelty (to)
A nimals

1. The SPCA started in England in 1822 where Pit Ponies where being abused and also the common practice of " blood sports " in the town square forced animal protection laws.
2. It later started in New Zealand in 1882 in Dunedin.
3. There are 54 SPCA centre’s in NZ.
4. They have mostly dogs and cats but will take ANY animal.
5. Cats can start having kittens at 4 months and every year up to 10 years.
6. You can be prosecuted under the “Animal Welfare Act 1999” for the following reasons:
a.Not providing the following needs; food, water and shelter.
b.Showing inappropriate behaviour to your pet eg: beating it up.
c.Not protecting your pet from harm and allowing it to get sick.

7. In 10 year only 2 convictions (jail sentences) have been made.
8. Greerton SPCA has 3000 animals they take care of each year!
9. Greerton has volunteers that clean up the mess daily.
10. The SPCA has a caravan that de sexes pets.
11. Tape worms come from fleas.
12. You can pay $9 for a tablet that will stop worms.
13. The SPCA is a volunteer organization.

E3 Nicolle said to me in an email that they are in need of kitty litter, old blankets and specialized food for their puppies and kittens. Do you think we can help here?

My Cat Tiger

My cats name is Tiger and she can be really nice but also a real mungrel. Sometimes when im just patting her she attacks me WHEN SHE'S PURRING!!! Then she goes and sulks in the corner! When shes hungry she keeps on doing a high pitched meow and annoys my Mum (mind she is always annoyed at the cat because she eats so much). She watches my Mums feet when she walks past her as if it is a real tiger about to pounce on her feet.

But I love Tiger even if she is a mungrel. Soon I'm about to get a ragdoll kitten. Why, because Tiger does not go under the blankets like a lovely kitten does, you can't pat Tigers tummy without her attacking you but you can with a kitten. You can't pick Tiger up without her hissing at you either. So I'm getting a kitten for a Christmas present and I'm going to name her Belle. Her full name will be Tinkerbelle even though I will love her I will also love Tiger.
