How appropriate that our very own prime specimen should be the first to howl her approval in her new home! Congratulations all around!

How do you like the final title of the conference? I, as you, did not like
the connotation of Zoo...

Since my concerns are of the Earth and what affects it, animals are my favorite things. I even like 2-legged ones...*grin* but I refuse to keep any as pets.
I am an unreconstructed cat-lover who also is a birder and a hunter (with binoculars and camera) of bigger game in the wild.
I answer to almost anything, but people usually call me Marcia for lack of a better idea (though I have been called the Marcianess of Stonehenge). Oh, yes,
I am also a cuddler much more than a trainer, also. Aloha!

Hey, I LOVE cats! Lived with a bunch of them. Once I lived with five dogs, too! But my appreciation for the canine species (present company excepted) has been eroded by the neighbour's big, non-stop-barking monster-dog.

ok everybody, i'd like to do something neat. would like to create a page on my website (which is part of spring) with pictures of your pets. if you have pics, drawings, etc. please forward them to me at Wolfie. you will get all the credit for your pics and i will honor any privacy requests (i.e., first name only, age, etc.) the only thing that i ask is that you allow me to resize pics in interest of space. i will not, repeat, will not, add to or take from your stuff. when i go through some of my magazines, i love to see kids' drawings of their pets and pics of pets in action. thought others might enjoy this and be willing to share. let me know! thanks!! (terry, maybe you can link this in with the front page for more exposure, thanks)

Hey! Critter's 58K portrait which I sent to you is on my spring drive. We can use one or the other. I'll try to downsize it with my photo programs, as well so we end up with only one of him on all of Spring's hard drive!

This is far too weird for me to figure out, but when I dumped the cache and closed out Netscape, then reloaded it and went to spring.net I could see across the bottom that it was loading the leopard file but it still had my globe there.
If I close out the entire computer I may just see it tomorrow. Anything of mine still existing on the title page?

Not telnetting - there is no account available for me as it stands with the provider now. I can see your Jaguar now! Here! but, aggravatingly, not there!
It reminds me of the time I got stuck with the music conf wallpaper all over all of the other conferences. Instead of defautl leaves, I got eyeballs and notes in purple on a white background. In fact, when Geo was just a thought and a blank space will default wallpaper I was asked what I saw and I replied... purple eyeballs and notes. I eventually had to delete my entire hot list then reset them. I have not had any problems since July until now...!
Sheesh!

That is some potent wallpaper. I told him it was my conscience staring back at me. *lol* He thought that was funny - especially on my pristine new Geo.
I have spent considerable time looking for better wallpaper for that conference, but every time we have tried something different, Alexander complains - so back it goes. I told him it was great for little kids Jammies, but...!
I am much relieved to know I was not the only one seeing it everywhere!

Hi all your fur and feather lovers! I'm making my howl heard... Name is Gena, I live in Massachusetts but I used to live in Austin. I usually hang out in the sports conference, making rare appearances in motorcycling... and about to dip my toes into Geo (thanks Marcia).
I share my abode with the twin sister skitzy kitties from hell, known as Nike and Reebok. Also the Diva of Dogdom, Princess of Pawville.... Pearlized Jazz (I call her Pearl), retired racing greyhound extraordinaire. I got Pearl on her 2nd birthday... she'll be 11 this summer. The cats are about the same age.
Wolf, I would gladly send you a photo of Pearl. My cats refuse to be photographed. Something about talking to their agent... Let me know what your website it so I can peek. I do an annual "Doggie Playgrooup Holiday Photo Shoot" here in my neighborhood in September, so my neighbors can have a pet motif for their holiday cards. Therefore I have many pics of "The Pearl".

Easy, just click on the "host" button when you enter business, which you are now a host of and copy the code. You may have to play around with the html a bit to reference it to where the gifs are stored.

if you change that, won't it change your login name too (when you first sign on to the spring)?

Australia's first camel dairy to open
An Australian man plans to set up business milking camels.
Neil Waters will open the country's first camel dairy near Alice Springs.
Neil, who runs Camels Australia, says the milk has a similar nutritional quality to goats' milk.
He told the ABC website: "Hopefully we'll be milking half a dozen this year - and once we can sort that out we can find out how many camels it's going to take to get plenty of litres of milk.
"It'll take a while before we can actually train them up to milking - they generally don't like you playing with their teats."

Relief as the Cows Upstairs Move Out
Fri Aug 30,10:26 AM ET
ISTANBUL (Reuters) - A Turkish woman has begun selling the cows she kept in upstairs apartments in the city of Trabzon, to the relief of her neighbors.
Local alderman Osman Terzi said health and safety officials had ordered the cows to be cleared out of the first and third floors of the building in the Black Sea port city.
"I have learned that Fatma Kocaman has started selling her cows, which is a very pleasing development," the Anatolian news agency quoted him saying on Thursday. It said she had kept "a large number" of cows there.
"It's hard to believe someone would keep cows in an apartment. For years me and the locals have wondered what to do...The area has suffered a lot. Noise, smell and manure everywhere make a very ugly scene," Terzi said.

Chemical Kits Can Save Pets?
TEL AVIV (Reuters) - Israelis bracing for possible Iraqi chemical or biological attacks can take comfort in the knowledge that their pets will be safe. Supergum Ltd, a private manufacturer of nuclear, biological and chemical protective gear, has developed a kit for animals, which the company says is the first of its kind. "People have been calling us for months asking what solution we could offer for their pets and now we have one," Roni Srour, vice president of the Tel Aviv-based firm, told reporters on Thursday. Iraq fired 39 Scud missiles at Israel during the 1991 Gulf War, killing one person and causing considerable damage. With a possible U.S.-led attack on Baghdad looming, Israelis are preparing for more Iraqi missile strikes, this time possibly with chemical or biological warheads. Supergum's kits come in three sizes and cost between 890 and 1,700 shekels ($185-$350). They include plastic bubbles, which will seal animals inside cages, and air filters and blowers to supply purified air. Israelis prepa
ing sealed rooms will have to use gas masks to filter out chemical agents but animals will not tolerate a mask for more than a few minutes. The kits contain four batteries that last six hours and can be changed, said Zeev Scheiner, the veterinarian who tested the equipment on dogs, cats and birds. "They do not have any effect on the animal's health but (for) animals who are claustrophobic or nervous, we can give them animal Valium," Scheiner said. Srour said the company was preparing to sell the kits to Israel's police and army for their dogs.

Those polar bears are adorable. I wish I could hear what they are laughing at ! The bear bile story needs to be in here somewhere. Cheryl will find the right place. I am just full of the heroic animal rescue guys on the Gulf Coast contending with dog bites to save the critters from starvation.

I'm posting this on this topic because I can't find a horse topic. The link below is to an article containing some of the emails sent to the injured Kentucky Derby winner, Barbaro. I know it seems a bit silly to email a colt, since horses can't read, but he does have the good wishes of many for a good recovery and a long life.
Get well, Barbaro!

From cave paintings it is believed that the equid from which modern horses are derived resemble the modern Przewalski Horse. The large strong heads and erect manes depicted in these paintings bear a striking resemblance to this modern breed.
The first domestication of the horses was probably in the steppes of central Asia between 3000 and 4000 B.C. These first animals were kept for meat and milk. As early man became more mobile undoubtedly horses began to be used as pack animals.
Oxen were being used in the Middle East at approximately 4000 B.C. for plowing. Progressively they were used on sleds, which were eventually mounted on rollers, with the final evolution of wheels. Early in the 3rd millennium B.C. there is archeological evidence that vehicles drawn by equid, generally onagers or ass hybrids, were being used in warfare. As horses from the north became more numerous the carts moved to the familiar two-wheeled chariot with spoked wheels. Due to his greater speed the horse rapidly replaced other equid as harness animals.
