*~*Polar Bear says PEACE!!!*~*

Polar Bear: I come in Peace

If you don't already think animals communicate, check this out. Stuart Brown describes Norbert Rosing's striking images of a wild polar bear coming upon tethered sled dogs in the wilds of Canada's Hudson Bay.....


The photographer was sure that he was going to see the end of his dogs when the
polar bear wandered in, but..




The Polar Bear returned every night that week to play with the dogs.

May you always have love to share, health to spare and friends that care.

I wish to play with him too... or izzit a She? Nevermind... as long as he's friendly.

*~*Hachiko - Japan's Most Loyal Dog*~*

Today Georgi's Ma shared this information with my Mummy and as usual, Mummy was so touched watching the video and started crying again. And would like to share this story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog. Mummy would like to thank Serene for sharing. Definitely going to catch it once it's out.

Hachikō the Loyal Dog



10th November 1923 - 8th March 1935 Akita Inu born in the city of Odate, Akita Prefecture remembered for his loyalty to his master.

In 1924, Hachikō was brought to Tokyo by his owner, Hidesamurō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo. During his owner's life, Hachikō saw him off from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno didn't return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered a stroke at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting.

Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. After time, Hachikō apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachikō waited for Professor Ueno to return. And each day he didn't see his friend among the commuters at the station.

The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. Realizing that Hachikō waited in vigil for his dead master, their hearts were touched. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.

This continued for 10 years, with Hachikō appearing only in the evening time, precisely when the train was due at the station.

Here's a video extracted from the movie Hachiko Monogatari [1987].





In April 1934, a bronze statue in his likeness was erected at Shibuya Station, and Hachikō himself was present at its unveiling. The statue was recycled for the war effort during World War II. After the war, Hachikō was not forgotten. In 1948 The Society for Recreating the Hachikō Statue commissioned Takeshi Ando, son of the original artist who had since died, to make a second statue. The new statue, which was erected in August 1948, still stands and is an extremely popular meeting spot. The station entrance near this statue is named "Hachikō-guchi", meaning "The Hachikō Exit", and is one of Shibuya Station's five exits.

The Japan Times played a practical joke on readers by reporting that the bronze statue was stolen a little before 2AM on April 1, 2007, by "suspected metal thieves". The false story told a very detailed account of an elaborate theft by men wearing khaki workers' uniforms who secured the area with orange safety cones and obscured the theft with blue vinyl tarps. The "crime" was allegedly recorded on security cameras.

A similar statue stands in Hachikō's hometown, in front of Odate Station. In 2004, a new statue of Hachikō was erected on the original stone pedestal from Shibuya in front of the Akita Dog Museum in Odate.


Hachikō died on 8th March 1935 of, of filariasis (heartworm). His stuffed and mounted remains are kept at the National Science Museum of Japan in Ueno, Tokyo.

They're remaking the movie renamed as Hachiko: The Dogs' Story starring Richard Gere, Joan Allen and Sarah Roemer.
It is currently in post-production.

*~*Whinez... Am I being forgotten?*~*

*~*Whinez*~*

Wondering if I'm being forgotten already. Actually NO! Grandparents been webcamming with Mummy, I get to hear her talk but I don't seem to see her. Whinez... Is she at the door? Why aren't you guys opening the door for her? Where is she?

Heard that Mummy will be coming back for good soon. Prob end of Dec bah but that all depends on the results. Whinez... Hope everything will be fine and they will be back soon. *Woof (Pray) hard*
Mummy's been seeing me on webcam as usual. Therefore sometimes she will take some pictures. I know I look really poor thing there, inside the restricted zone. Actually it's totally of no choice. Coz of the area has a high chance of having ticks, not in the house I mean as everything's been cleared since months ago. It's the corridor area or mayb downstairs. Therefore I'm restricted to the back area and will be allowed to be out on and off when someone's around. When grandparents' on the webcam with Mummy, I'll be let in the room and on the BED!!! Yeah~ Sometimes I take this chance to slp comfortably while they chat, but they keep moving me here n there so that Mummy can see me. Woof~

Mummy~ Come back soon ok? I miss you badly. (Mummy miss you too, wish that I can go back real soon. 2 more months...)

As I said Mummy took some pictures of me, therefore she compiled some as follows....



Mummy took a video of Keasha humping and was laughing away coz she was so funny and enthu about it. Mummy guessed it's the peak of her heat bah, coz it's abt to end. She was hyper in humping for only that 3 days especially when we're abt to slp, she will start look for our hands to hump. We were amused by it at first but got to stop that habit, so after the video, we nv allow her to hump again. But ever since the heat was over, she nv initiates to hump again. So prob it was the heat was the reason behind those humpy dumdy... Woof~
