PINK POODLE is not a DRINK HERE
Someone has the idea that poodles want a little color in their lives.

What if poodles could haul their owner to the doggie parlor & order some curl in their owners’ hair?

Animal Books
Over at The WellReadChild, an organized & lively blog via
http:///wellreadchild.blogspot.com
this very blog’s Florida’s Famous Animals is reviewed. We are blushing, not only for the fine thumbs up, but because it shares company with the author/illustrator husband/wife picture book team of Steve Jenkins and Robin Page, and their new one about animal sibs, Sister & Brother.

ANIMAL PIANO
This is one of those moments that makes you want to run out and rescue every animal at a shelter.
Nora, a sweet gray cat, was shelter-rescued. At about age one she grew very interested in the family piano, which is used almost daily in giving piano lessons in the Philadelphia area.
Now Nora is the most famous feline keyboard artist on the planet.
For some sweet melodies go to
http://www.ravenswingsstudio.com or go directly to YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2860P4lTAM
or since that one is troublesome also at YouTube via
http://www.youtube.com/user/userburnellyow
The humans who live with Nora ~ Betsy & her husband Burnell ~& also family cats Miro, Gabby, Clara and Rennie are interviewed on the
AnimalRadio March 22,2008 Weekly Radio Show
And Best Friends Animal Society is benefited by the sale of Nora’s music CD
Applause, applause (appaws, appaws)

ANIMAL RADIO
The idea of an Animal Radio has a whale of appeal.
The host would be a smooth-voiced penguin, appropriately bibbed for publicity shots. The tech working sound would be a mockingbird, able to improvise with all special effects required. The valuable team member working the phones would be an ocotpus, with eight arms able to punch up any caller. Then there would be the publicist, a cat, & I think the ideal caterer is going to be a cute pink pig, who will keep a buffet fresh in the background. Then there is the advertising staffer, a Type A bull dog. Plus the human resources worker, a sweet basset hound. Let’s not forget the night bookeeper, a wise owl.
Animal Radio exists.
Without the free buffet, publicist or star penguin. It’s the work of Judy Francis & Hal Abrams who are a longtime radio duo worthy of star billing. They broadcast to two million viewers & manage to wrangle on-air moments with Betty White, Ed Asner, Patti Smith, Bob Barker & more animal advocates. They have expert vet advice, updates on animal food recalls & book reviews. They were formerly with Best Friends, have been interested in animal issues for years & are fun folks with whom to trade animal tales. I know because I think they will be airing something soon on Florida’s Famous Animals. Stay tuned.
And please tell them Ginger sent you.
