Hey!
? For anyone else who isn’t computer savy and has trouble linking to other pages from here, there’s a solution! When the link sends you to the page look in the address bar. If there are 3 lines of diminishing size at the left that means “reader view” is available. Click on those bars and you get a page with article and pictures with NO ADS or other nonsense! I was able to go to all the links on this post immediately, instead of being jerked around with problems loading the site. Wish someone had explained this to me long ago!?
Cool! What brand of browser are you using? (Not all browsers offer this function; I know that Safari does.)
Another way to view the text of articles without distracting elements is a system called Pocket (https://getpocket.com/) that allows you to save articles and read them later, either in “web view” or “article view” (just the text).
I use Safari on my ipad, which is normally where I check out this site. Thanks for the other tips!?
97.3% of the population can look at every single one of those links without being traumatized, many without even blinking.
I’m in the other 2.7%, and several of the blurbs, all on their own, were too much. Happy endings can’t negate the original pain, terror, horror, for me. The curse of a vivid imagination.
Nothing against the majority, their more measured responses, and certainly nothing against you, Mike. It just works out that way for me, sometimes.
(Did you know that 73.6% of statistics are made up? Nonetheless, that 2.7% is how I feel.)
Just want to add, I’m fragile and prone to flight, when it comes to animals in jeopardy, even after the jeopardy is resolved. I can recognize the good, and the heroes, and all that, while also realizing it just isn’t good for me to read / see.
I am in no way implying this is the proper, ideal, or even preferred response!
Youse guys / all y’all do you. <3
Hello, I am grateful for this feedback from both of you. I don’t think it will be any hardship to me to avoid the kinds of stories you’re describing, so I will try to be more mindful.
So no more rescue stories?
That ex-marine is a hunk. Morning all! Bah to Mondays but these links are helping me turn my frown upside down. 🙂
Don’t you love how gently he strokes that eensy little creature? Such a tender person.
I do wish there’d been further information on that poor piggy’s pregnancy! She looks ready to burst! I’ve never even been pregnant but I’m feeling very empathic. I have been bloated, does that count?????
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Ahem.
THANK you, Andrew – I feel so much better.
That pic was taken the day after they were born??? How big were they one day earlier? 0_o
GP are born ready to rock and roll–eyes and ears open, fully furred and able to eat reg food while nursing (in the first week only). They are ready to leave home at 4 wks!!
I had baby Peegs born. Five. They come out and are up and running. Unforgettable! Cutest, most fuzzy babies lined up chomping on one long celery stalk.
Little yawning Jubilee made my day.
Also the dollar bill for scale. Tiny kitty!!
OMG that pregnant peeg!
Poor thing.
I just hope daddy wasn’t a capybara.
Tiny Jubilee and so-smart shiba puppers for the win!
Peeg, I feel you. I really do.
