No need to be overly concerned - pretty soon there won't be any "purebreds" anyway. It's an absolute joke that after 10 years we've accepted "breeds" such as Labradoodles, Puggles, Morkies and Chiweenies. Call a mutt for what it is a mutt. (nothing against them, I own one of those, too) If you...
Just going from memory, Sam. Probably been 30 years since I've kept them. The picture quality wasn't sharp enough to see the irredescence of the scales and if the fish were old, sick, or deformed the body structure would be a bit different. A lot of the brilliance would be lost. Bob
I ment to ask you Sam. Is your short-finned betta, the wild type (betta imbellis) or does it just look like one? Did you know that if it is, males can be housed together in a big enough tank? They will flare their gills when they encounter each other but will almost never fight. Kind of like...
Thanks for the compliments! My camera is very inadequate with a very minimal zoom, but I get lucky and get a good shot every now and then. :) I believe Sam is correct on the skink and I believe it is a female. The males usually have blue and yellow stripes - very pretty. Bob
The ginger and crepe myrtle pics were taken back in the summer. (don't tell anybody) The poinsettia is currently in bloom. I also have a poinsettia about the sixe of a VW Bug on the north side of my house, but it took a pretty hard hit the last cold snap we had. It'll come back. Bob
On the rare occasion I have nothing to do on weekends, I like to head out to the beaches or one of our many free parks and snap a few pictures of our local wildlife. Bob
Nice dogs - I've known two people that have had them! They like to wander the perimeter of your property in a "patrolling" manner and herd small animals into little groups. Very amusing to watch. :) Bob
Have you tried a different formula such as a lamb and rice? There are so many quality foods out there that don't contain chicken (or worse - ground yellow corn) I wouldn't consider anything made by Hills to be very good and worth what you are paying for it. I use Nature's Recipe Lamb and Rice...
Actually, until last April, you could register the SAME dog with the AKC as an American Staffordshire Terrier and the UKC as an American Pitbull Terrier. They are NOT different dogs even though most Amstaff breeders will try to convince you that they are. It is only all the negative...
Thanks Alliegex. :) I'n not officially into TNR - just don't want to take them to the pound where they would most likely be put to sleep. Can't have them keep reproducing, either. It's a small price to pay when you love animals. Bob
