The American Heart Association’s got some news. Wanna hear?

Quoting their release: “Owning a pet, particularly a dog, could reduce your risk of heart disease.” #WIN.

“Dog ownership in particular may help reduce cardiovascular risk. People with dogs may engage in more physical activity because they walk them.” #DOUBLEWIN.

“Pets can have a positive effect on the body’s reactions to stress.” #TRIPLEWIN.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A rash of scandals discrediting the U.S. military's efforts to stamp out sexual assault is putting unprecedented pressure on Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to consider options that once appeared off limits to address sex crimes in the armed forces.

U. LEEDS (UK) — Very young children appear to reject storybook characters who are overweight as potential friends, a study shows.

Researchers asked children in the UK to rate their choices between characters that were drawn as overweight, normal weight, or disabled. They found that children voiced more negative views about the fictional book character “fat Alfie”.

UC BERKELEY (US) — Researchers are testing a helmet-like device that uses wireless signals to instantly diagnose brain swelling and bleeding.

The device analyzes data from low energy electromagnetic waves that are similar to those used to transmit radio and mobile signals.

…then “Elephant Jumping On Trampoline” should be right up your alley. Thanks to Commenter Baileysgrandmomb for the teep!

PS -For the folks on Facebook who thought the giraffes were real (face palm,) say it with me. “THIS. IS. COMPUTER. GENERATED.”

That would be what’s usually known as a “Non sequitur.”

Non sequitur (pron.: /nɒnˈsɛkwɪtər/) is Latin for “it does not follow.” It is most often used as a noun to describe illogical statements.

And that’s just what this video is. “High Diving” + “Giraffes” aren’t generally used together in sentences. But here we go!

“This is not mine but I came across it today and I thought of you. High-diving giraffes! (I mean, really, where else but up high would giraffes dive from, anyway?) Make sure you watch all the way to the end of the credits.” -Cuteporter Allein S.

Codename, … “Mr. P.”

Any resemblance between Mr. P. and a miniature horse is purely coincidence.

OK little girl, just pretend you don’t notice.

Nothing unusual here.

Situation normal.

Wait, isn’t that a …. NO! ha ha ha.

Suuuuuuuuuuuure.

Riiiiiiiiight.

After a long day workin’ his halter ego, Mr. P. can finally relax.

And have fun horsing around!

Yesterday Ali, his boss and I set out mid morning to go to one of the lakes north west of Berlin. Unfortunately the weather turned and so we had to revise our plans. These plans ended up including a stop at Florida Eis for ice cream, so I didn’t mind.

The whole time we were out Ali insisted on carrying my handbag and only letting me walk on the right hand side of him. And I think he got a bit offended when I tried to pay for the ice cream! 

I really need some red shoes

This picture of Nigel Bear in a box is one of the first that really resonated with you all - and here is the fun day behind it! 

Mother’s Day, 2012.  John made me a lovely breakfast to enjoy in bread (Ezekiel muffin, crushed raspberry jam, eggs, and a bowl of berries).  Nigel Bear stood by the bed for a good five minutes, reminding me that without him, I would be celebrating FurChild Mother’s Day.  

So obviously, he was invited onto the bed and I shared my berries and eggs with him. John got to spend the entire day with us and since one of Nigel’s favorite things to do is playing with cardboard boxes, we saved an extra large one for him. :)

This year Nigel got three boxes. :D

in real life: ok, I guess I have to explain to my entire class how "feminist" is not an insult

RICE (US) — Engineering students have designed a belt that monitors signs of epileptic seizures and sends information via Bluetooth to a caregiver’s computer or smart phone.

The belt detects increased electrical conductance in the skin and changes in respiration rate, both signs that a seizure is under way. Though children or adults can wear the belt, the students designed it with kids in mind. They want parents to be aware of when a child is having a seizure, especially during the night.

Tortuga (which means "turtle" in Spanish) is a spunky, fun loving, energetic bulldog. Tortuga's sweet disposition is a magnet for people and dogs alike. She brings a smile to people's faces even from afar and she loves playing with her best friends, a rottweiler and a whippet (though she can't always keep up!) Her favorite things are snuggling on the couch, chewing on bones, and getting treats! Tortuga can often be found following her two-legged momma around, trying to help load the dishwasher or doing other chores around the house. Tortuga will win your heart in a heartbeat!
