Feeling a little squirrelly starting at those cubicle walls. Feel like mooooving yourself out of that nice comfy chair now that it’s spring? Hopping mad about the gas prices down at the local service station (thought: do they even call them that anymore?)? If you get a smile from checking out these unusual sites, well, I toad ya so!

This site is pure bovine madness – and I ain’t talkin’ the “mad cow” variety. It’s in support of the PBS series Texas Ranch House. Check out the “cow cam” (dial-up users. you may find it takes a while to load). What’ll they think of next?

One creature I miss out here in AZ is the Gray Squirrel. (We have these wacky looking things called the black squirrel, but to me they’re just hawk and vulture food.) I know, I know, squirrels are destructive ba$tards and a pain in the a$$, but they’re also fascinating and cute too. I still remember the legendary battles my dad and Mr. GS used to have out on the back porch of their condo as he tried to protect his bird feeder from these glorified rats. Well, if you too have a hankerin’ for those squirrelly days of yesteryear, check out this site.

My friend Dona is absolutely bullish about bullfrogs. Here is a site for you frogaholics.

Me? I’m not exactly an environmentalist wacko, but I do love whales. So here is a beautifully done website about everything whale.

My sister-in-law Tam just got herself a new bunny. I sure hope Marshmallow (well that’s not exactly her, but you get the picture) knows what she’s getting herself into. A perfect time to remind everyone that rabbits are not just for cages (or dinner, for that matter), anymore. Give these guys a nice play area and you’ll be amazed at how they steal your heart! The House Rabbit Society tells you everything you’ll need to know about pet rabbits.

And, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that this is Day 14 of MDMW (Mourning Dove Maternity Watch). That egg has to hatch any day now. Now I know how Tom Cruise was feeling last week!
