The puss in books

Fidel is not your average cat. The eight year old black cat lives in Kent in Britain and his home is the local library. Well, his second home, and he visits it when his owners are away at work. Fidel has his favorite blue chair where he basks in the sun the whole day before he returns home to his owners.

Staff at the library say that they initially threw out Fidel when he came everyday but he always returned. Now he is an attraction for people who come to the library. Fidel was adopted from a local sanctuary and now he is the most regular customer at the library, which he has been frequenting for two years.

The Bear: A beautiful movie

Wow. That is all I can say about this piece of video taken from the movie The Bear also known as L'Ours in French.

I received this link in a forward and I was surprised to read that this movie was not a big commercial success. The last few seconds are very touching and got my eyes wet. The Bear is the story of a baby bear, which loses its mother and is left out in the wild until it is rescued from dangerous elements by a big grizzly. Well, I am definitely going to hunt out this movie and watch it.

Chanel is a dog, not a perfume

Chanel wears goggles and jumpers and has a Guinness World Record certificate to her name. Meet the world’s oldest dog as she turns 21, which translates into an amazing 147 years in people years. Denice Shaughnessy, Chanel’s owner, is a retired Army veteran who now works as a school secretary and lives with her husband Karl, a policeman. She adopted Chanel in 1988 from a Virginia shelter when she was just a six week old pup. Chanel and her owner both stay in Port Jefferson Station, New York where she sleeps all day until Denice comes home from work. Chanel used to run three miles with Denice every day when she was younger but today she has to be carried around a lot. But Chanel still enjoys a walk and sometimes Denice finds her walking around in the night.

But despite being pretty healthy for her age, Chanel has her senior problems. The goggles she wears is not to hide her age, but because she has cataracts and is very sensitive to light. She has her jumpers on because she gets cold very fast and in summer she has to wear a tee shirt. Denice keeps her home at a constantly warm temperature and Chanel eats food like boiled chicken and soft pasta that she can eat with her old teeth. “She takes things easy nowadays,” says Denice and well I guess we can forgive her for it.
