Relaxing Hedgehog Sytle

Hana the hedgehog really knows how to relax.  Indeed, she oozes into a belly rub!

I'm having issues embedding video from Facebook.  Here is the URL for the video.

Apparently, after her massage she was treated to a manicure because her little nails needed trimming.  Seriously, where do I sign up for this?

Firenado

My wife sent me a link to a video of a "firenado," a tornado-like event that throws (sucks?) fire into the air.  From the description of the event:

This towering fire tornado, or ‘firenado,’ was created when lightning struck a Jim Beam warehouse in Kentucky, and 800,000 gallons of bourbon spilled into a retention pond and went up in flames.  You have to have exactly the right conditions for something like this to happen.



Pretty cool.  Except for all the lost bourbon!

9/11 Service Animal Tribute

The last known surviving canine in service during the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks was given a great day in New York recently.  Bretagne, a golden retriever who is part of Texas Task Force 1, was part of a canine unit that searched the rubble of the fallen towers.  She is now 16, grey-faced and beautiful.



It probably won't shock you that 9/11 tributes generally make me cry.  This one was no different.

Thank you, Bretagne and Denise Corliss.
