Dad and his adopted kid:)
Paternal dog Billy takes on an unusual kid
A paternal dog has adopted an abandoned baby goat as his surrogate child.
Billy the boxer has become the constant companion of the 12-day old kid
called Lilly. He sleeps with the goat, licks her clean, and protects
her from any dangers at Pennywell Farm wildlife centre at
Buckfastleigh, near Totnes, Devon.
Scroll down for more

Billy and Lilly have formed a close bond
The kid was abandoned by her mother when she was only a few hours
old and adopted by paternal Billy when his owner Elizabeth Tozer began
hand rearing the goat.
The unusual bond has developed over the last month and the pair are now inseparable.
Elizabeth said: "Lilly follows Billy around which is really
quite amusing to watch and Billy sleeps with the goat and cleans her
mouth after she feeds."

Billy the boxer protects his little kid
Lilly was the smallest of a litter of three kids and her mother
abandoned her because she could only care for the two stronger ones.
The pair have attracted quite a crowd at the animal centre and the
staff are keen to see how their relationship will develop.

Transparent Butterfly
Transparent
Butterfly
It
comes from Central
America and
is found from Mexico to
Panama. It
is quite common in its zone, but it not easy to find because of its transparent
wings, which is a natural camouflage
mechanism.
A
butterfly with transparent wings is rare and
beautiful.
As delicate as finely blown glass, the presence of this rare tropical gem is
used by rain forest ecologists as an indication of high habitat quality and its
demise alerts them of ecological change. Rivaling the refined beauty of a
stained glass window, the translucent wings of the Glasswing butterfly shimmer
in the sunlight like polished panes of turquoise, orange, green, and red. All
things beautiful do not have to be full of color to be noticed: in life that
which is unnoticed has the most power.





Really
something isn't it?

Have you ever had that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach?

Have you ever had that sinking feeling in the pit of your
stomach?
Well, I have
a few times, not many but two or three really hurt my heart. That feeling that I
made a wrong choice or did not do something
that I should have! But it was too
late to undo
what ever it was or to stop and turn back and
do it
right ?
Now I see my son going
through a bad one! Oh a big one!
His girlfriend wanted him and her to quit
their jobs together, that they could do better with their lives. Make more money to buy a house. Right? She had
worked there 3 years? Him 9 years and 11 months, yep a month away from his 10
year award! He knew that business inside and out ! Okay so they planned and he
quit, ......... she still works there! She now gets a bonus in a few months of
around $46,000.00?
I said I
supported him no matter what he decided about quiting! But to know there are few jobs out there that
are dream jobs and he would find the same problems with work places,
with the same kind of people who are trouble makers or brown noses
almost every where he goes. But to find a full time job first before he quit. But that he could go back to the Company, as
they left the door open for him to return! .....
I had my doubt looks I guess, as he kept
trying to justify his decision to me for weeks after wards, when he
found out his car needed major work done and the he would live off me speech etc ..... Now he finds out he lost out on
$300,000.00 bonus at closing deal of Company plus the extra 8 months of
work there and with health benefits ?
Oh yes, he is very angry! He says that is the last
time he will
listen to any old busy bodies about his life and what he should do with
his life or how much better he is then the job he has!
Gads, I hurt right along with him, as it breaks my heart to hear this
news and see his pain! One of those sinking ship moments of life, that
is too late to undo. and that feeling in the pit of your stomach thing
you get when it hits you! Wrong move!
My son would have gotten $300,000.00 if he had stayed, plus the extra 8 months of work! All down the drain
now!
Drug distributor McKesson Corp. will buy McQueary Brothers Drug Co. of Springfield, Mo., for about $190
million.
McQueary is a private, family-owned company that distributes drugs and other
products to about 400 pharmacies in Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Nebraska and Iowa. McKesson will fold the business into its own drug
distribution unit.
San Francisco-based McKesson (NYSE: MCK) is 175 years old. In addition to
pharmaceutical delivery, it also supplies other medical products and equipment.
Two brothers, Les and Fred McQueary, started McQueary Brothers in 1924.
Do I need to say more? With a hurting heart for her child ....
Mom
