PET JOKES Escargots A couple was having a party at their house. An hour before the party the woman found out that she still needed Escargots. So she sent her husband out to get some. He was walking to the supermarket and he figured he had lots of time, so he stopped at the bar on the way. An hour and a half later he looked at his watch and realized that the party had already started. He quickly ran to the market, bought the snails and ran home. He tried to sneak into the kitchen without his wife seeing him. But at that moment his wife came out. He quickly threw the snails on the floor and said, "Come on guys, we're almost there."

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LIPIZZANNER HORSE BREED
The Lipizzaner is a breed of horse closely associated with the Spanish Riding
School of Vienna, Austria, where they demonstrate the haute école or "high
school" movements of classical dressage, including the highly controlled, stylized
jumps and other movements known as the "airs above the ground." The horses at
the Spanish Riding School are trained using traditional methods that date back
hundreds of years, based on the principles of classical dressage.
The Lipizzan breed dates back to the 16th century, when it was developed with
the support of the Habsburg nobility. The breed takes its name from one of the
earliest stud farms established, located near the Karst Plateau village of
Lipica (spelled "Lipizza" in Italian), in modern-day Slovenia. The breed has been
endangered numerous times by warfare sweeping Europe, including during
the War of the First Coalition, World War I and World War II. The rescue of the
Lipizzans during World War II by American troops was made famous by
the Disney movie Miracle of the White Stallions. Along with the Disney movie,
Lipizzaner’s have also starred or played supporting roles in many movies, TV
shows, books and other media.
PAW-SCOPES DOGS: Your pooch can be rather lazy and indulgent at times. And without lifting a paw, they make a beautiful display sprawled across the couch. When not resting, he or she needs to have interactive play-time, both inside and out as this is a must to keep their mental and physical agility intact. CATS: Your cat can be your true companion for life, bonding with you on many levels. Try not to leave home without leaving something of yours for them to snuggle up to. They will miss you less if a reminder of your essence is left behind.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!
The most dogs in costumed attire at a single location is 1,326 and was achieved by Nestle Purina Pet Care (USA) at the Beggin' Pet Parade in Saint Louis, Missouri, USA, on 12 February 2012. The record was set at the 19th annual pet parade.
The most people brushing dogs' teeth simultaneously is 268, and was achieved by The Link Management Limited in Hong Kong, China, on 9 December 2012. This event took place in Stanley Plaza, Hong Kong, to promote dog dental care and hygiene awareness. It also supported the charity 'Hong Kong Dog Rescue'.
The tallest cat scratching tree measures 5.14 m (16 ft 10 in) and was created by Joseph and Shelley Del Rocco of Pet Tree Houses in West Linn, Oregon, USA, as measured on 17 October 2014. The tree was built as a way for cats to travel between the ground and upper floors of their residence.
The WWF LOGO
* * * * * The inspiration for the World Wildlife Fund
(WWF) logo came from Chi-Chi: a giant
panda that had arrived at the London Zoo in 1961, the
same year WWF was created. The first panda sketches
were done by the British environmentalist and artist,
Gerald Watterson. Based on these, Sir Peter Scott, one
of WWF’s founders and world-renowned conservationist
and painter, drew the first logo. The design of the logo
has evolved over the past four decades, but the giant
panda’s distinctive features remain an integral part of
WWF’s treasured and unmistakable symbol. Today,
WWF’s trademark is recognized as a universal symbol for
the conservation movement.
WORLD’S RAREST COFFEE
The world’s rarest coffee, Kopi Luwak, comes from Indonesia where a wildcat known as the Luwak lives. The cat eats the coffee berries and the coffee beans inside pass through the stomach. The beans are har-vested from the cat's dung heaps and then cleaned and roasted. Kopi Luwak sells for about $500 for a 450 g (1 lb) bag. This was also men-tioned in the movie “The Bucket List” starring Jack Nicholson and Mor-gan Freeman. So you might just think about where your next cup of coffee came from!
