This Old Goat is a Beauty!

A festival dedicated to finding the most beautiful Damascene goat drew goat breeders and livestock merchants to the Saudi capital Riyadh.

You might have read about the goat beauty contest earlier this month but I though you might get a kick out of these articles and photos--as they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and personally I have seen Nubian goats that were a lot better looking to my eyes!
Life in the Fast Lane has a great summary with lots of photos about the goat beauty contest and ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) has a video about the goat beauty contestand World News Australia also covered the event.

I'd love to know what you think!

Arranged Pet Weddings & Other Things to Bark About

This week pet weddings seem to be in the news. If you have been reading Blessing of the Animals, you'll find a whole section on the topic.

I met a book buyer in a local store this week who was purchasing my book, she said she was asked to oversee pet blessings in her area (Palm Desert) and already conducts weddings. Kathy has a book coming out so I may hear from her again with luck.

Anyway, I was interviewed for this article, More dogs are saying 'Fi-Do' to pet weddings earlier in the year and after the meeting in the bookstore I discovered that it is circulating around the Internet.

Then today I discovered a blog called Green Pets that reprinted an article regarding a dotcom for mating dogs...not exactly wedding them but more like a mutt-matcher.

So anyway, I thought you might like my finds. Let me know what you think below.

How to know when your pets don't like costumes...

I've been recovering from adrenal fatigue so that is why I have not been posting.

Anyway, I just found this and a video is worth more than the words or anything else I could say.
