The Staffordshire Terrier (staffie or staffy) is a medium-sized, short-coated, old-time breed of dog, originally bred for killing rodents. In the early part of the twentieth century they gained respectability and were accepted into the The Kennel Club of the United Kingdom as the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. It is an English breed of dog and should not be confused with the Bull Terrier, or its larger cousin the American Staffordshire Terrier, or the American Pit Bull Terrier, even though it is often placed in the category of pit bulls.(Wikipedia.org)
Greyhound racing is the sport of racing greyhounds. The dogs chase a lure (an artificial hare or rabbit) on a track until they arrive at the finish line. The one that arrives first is the winner. / In many countries, greyhound racing is purely amateur and conducted for enjoyment. In other countries (particularly the UK, US, Ireland and Australia), greyhound racing is a popular form of gambling, similar to horse racing. / (wikipedia.org)

Stretching is the deliberate act of lengthening of muscles, in order to increase muscle flexibility and joint range of motion. Stretching is a natural activity often performed without thinking by most people and many animals, and can simply be pleasurable. It can be accompanied by yawning. Stretching often occurs right after waking from sleep, after long periods of inactivity, or after exiting confined spaces.(wikipedia.org)

I am no aromatherapist, but I do prefer treating myself “naturally” ... so my medicine cabinet contains none of the conventional chemicals, but rather is stocked from god’s pharmacy … and so Lavender is one of those oils I am never without as it forms a large basis for my “first aid kit” :) Here an excerpt from How Stuff Works “A well-loved Mediterranean herb, lavender has been associated with cleanliness since Romans first added it to their bathwater. In fact, the name comes from the Latin lavandus, meaning to wash. A Christian legend says that lavender originally had no odor, but since the Virgin Mary dried Jesus’s swaddling clothes on it, it has had a heavenly perfume. Essential oil of lavender is now known to have many application in aromatherapy. Today lavender remains a favorite for scenting clothing and closets, soaps, and even furniture polish. Lavender was traditionally inhaled to ease exhaustion, insomnia, irritability, and depression. In the Victorian era, women revived themselves from faints caused by tight corsets with lavender-filled swooning pillows.” Enjoy :) Canon EOS 450D, f/5.6 @ 49 mm, 1/4, ISO 100 Featured in Country Bumpkin August 2009 – thank you so much!!
This surprising toad, in spite of the not so welcoming reception he had in that cold and gloomy lab, has decided to imagine that all those baths, shots and manipulations he was being subjected to, were fantastic relaxing baths, cosmetic injections and incredibly calming massages. Maybe this is why all those beautiful frogs seem to be so delighted!
