In recent years, biologists have recognized that birds engage in play. Juvenile Common Ravens are among the most playful of bird species. They have been observed to slide down snowbanks, apparently purely for fun. They even engage in games with other species, such as playing catch-me-if-you-can with wolves, otters and dogs.[77] Common Ravens are known for spectacular aerobatic displays, such as flying in loops or interlocking talons with each other in flight.[78][79]

They are also one of only a few wild animals who make their own toys. They have been observed breaking off twigs to play with socially.[80]

Random thought using simple math. So the toaster I want from MyCokeRewards.com is 1500 points. Each cap I get is 3 points, meaning I would need 500 caps for 1500. Say each drink costs around $1.70, then 500 drinks will have cost around $850. Pffft! I could buy a toaster for everyone in my apartment complex and still have money left over from $850. Anywho I’m currently 286 points away from having what might as well be the most expensive toaster I’ll ever purchase. Oh well almost there 😜

I’ve been collecting staples that I’ve taken off of stapled packs of paper lately. Not sure why but I have a little tin filled with used staples. I’m sure when the time is right the reason for that will reveal itself. 👍

Today started off like any other Saturday…where and why did it all go wrong.

Today my 7 year old Basset Hound Ben passed away. Totally unexpected since he was fine all morning but when I got home from the grocery store, found him laid out and unresponsive. I rushed ‘em to the Animal Hospital and it was there they told me he had passed.

Definitely not a very good day

I worry now about Toby. It seemed from the moment I got back from the hospital that he knew what was going on. Either that or was just wondering where Ben was. He kept on running around from room to room and looking in Ben’s kennel as if he was thinking he was in there. The rest of the day Toby has stuck to me like glue, which if you know Toby is extremely unlike him since he’s not usually clingy at all.

Ben was a great dog, lazy but had a funny personality on him that would come out at the most random times which would make what he did even funnier. We’re definitely going to miss you Benny.

You know, I’m old enough to say that there was a time when a news report such as this would’ve just been a cheesy joke said by Bob Saget on America’s Funniest Home Videos. But now, it’s not a joke, it’s real, we actually live in dangerous underwear bombing times. Creepy 
