Only a few days ago Zlata my fantail goldfish got brine shrimps from MAXI ZOO as a treat she loved them.However she did not eat them right away.She carried them to a spot in her tank.Then when we were having dinner she was gobbling her treats up.

A real Cowgirl??

So the story is that Regina always wanted a horse and after realising that her parents weren't prepared to give in and get her one she trained her cow Luna to showjump instead!! Pretty amazing and just shows how smart and friendly cows are! Well done Regina and Luna :)

It’s official - Cat owners are friendlier than dog owners!!!

PetTalk.ie — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 12:17:07 GMT

Cat owners have often been viewed as more reserved, fussier and not as friendly as dog owners. However, recent research from the University of Maryland has found than when cat owners visit online pet communities (such as our very own PetTalk) they are more likely to make friends with other members of the community than their dog owning counterparts. In fact, dog owners not only initiate fewer friendships but tend only to make friends with owners of similar breeds to their own dog suggesting they are the fussier pet owners.

As a dog owner I'm not sure I agree - that said, I think I'll go make a few more friends just to be sure. Who knows I might even cross over and extend an invitation to a cat owner......

Amazing what animals do

I received the following photos in an email this week. They're 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 thempolar bear wandered in.

It's hard to believe that this polar bear only needed to hug someone!

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

Just goes to show how amazing animals are!!

Gorgeous photos - have you seen them?

PetTalk.ie — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 00:28:55 GMT

Hey Everyone

Sorry for the late post (and the lack of them this week) but this is worth the wait I promise.

Last week Jon told me he put all the pet photos under 1 link so that we could look at them all together ......anyway while I heard what he said I didn’t really hear it if you get me [sorry Jon :)]. So I was looking at the pictures of our new pet friends that joined today (a big hi and welcome to Chelsea, Pumba & Jake) when Jon helpfully pointed out “You know you could look at all the photo’s if you just clicked on Pet Photos”! So an hour later after fawning over 13 pages of gorgeous pet pics I figured I should make sure you all know about the link http://www.pettalk.ie/pets/all-photos. I’ve included a pic so you know where to find it in future. Be warned though there are lots of pics and it’s quite addictive!
