Oh by the way a court decided the federal wildlife agencies need to increase the land for critical lynx habitat so the lynx can have more snowy forested places with snowshoe hares. They're a threatened species, one step under endangered, so everyone who had been working to save lynx habitat for the past 20 years sort of breathed a big sigh of relief last week when the court said the previous administration were not, in effect, doing the right thing for these rare big cats.
@lijakaca: I'm way late to answer but I finally here, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plans to add land in Maine, Idaho and Wyoming to designated 'critical lynx habitat' in Washington state, Minnesota and Montana. There was a long fight over this idea due in part to timber interests, but now looks as if lynx may have more room to run. Thanks for asking.
Ha! There's a commercial for Dirt Cheap liquor store before the clydesdale clip. I grew up in the STL area and I remember the Dirt Cheap commercials with a dude dressed up in a chicken suit going "Cheap! Cheap!"
Us Metro East folks would drive across the river to Missouri for cheap cigarettes, gas and booze. Good times.
There's this episode of The West Wing in which no one knows what a lynx is, and every time I watch it I repeatedly say aloud "HOW can you not know what a lynx is? It's not that fucking obscure an animal! COME ON!"
Ha, that kitty's like mine when I try and play "String" with them - they're all, "eh, whatevs". But when THEY want to play "String", I'd better be fucking ON POINT.
I love how Jay plays with the lynx like it's a big house kitteh. normally I don't enjoy animals being used for entertainment, but in this case, it makes Leno seem like a down to earth dude who likes to play with his cats.
@Jezaddict: Welcome! We love new people. Everybody in AZ is pretty much from someplace else. Hedgehogs are illegal here, but I'm not sure why. Feel free to PM me with any new to AZ questions.
Oh guys, this makes me sad. My little dwarf hamster is currently in the hamster hospital because her evil and wicked sister literally ate a chunk of her ass. She'll be there having antibiotic shots twice daily for another week.
@LindsayC: doctoral hilarity ensues: Hope your hammy is OK! I have 2 boys and one of them yells and waves his little paws at the other one. I am afraid some shit might go down soon too :( they r bros and should totally get along!
@PrettyPrettyPrincess: Yeah mine were sisters. The vet said that they had probably reached breeding age as they've never hurt each other in tussles before. Keep an eye on your dudes- I've heard boys aren't as territorial, but you don't want to deal with this shit, trust me.
@happysquid: Actually, we normally take them to Petsmart, but this happened when the Petsmart vet on duty couldn't treat them. They referred us to a normal vet that deals with exotics.

I wish it had been an axolotl, though. Those guys deserve all the airtime they can get.

Love.
