Stan the Scary T. Rex

2010-10-24T11:36:00.004-04:00

This is Stan the T. rex at the Manchester Museum in the United Kingdom.

Tyrannosaurus , meaning 'tyrant lizard' from the Greek words tyrannos, meaning "tyrant" and sauros, meaning "lizard", is a genus of theropod dinosaur. The species Tyrannosaurus rex ('rex' meaning 'king' in Latin), commonly abbreviated to T. rex, is a fixture in popular culture. It lived throughout what is now western North America, with a much wider range than other tyrannosaurids. Fossils are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the last two million years of the Cretaceous Period, 67 to 65.5 million years ago.

Doggie

2009-09-19T15:50:00.002-04:00

Well, I have neglected my daughter's blog. Since she is back from Up North with her grandparents and back to school, I have to start updating her blog. She is starting to check it:) Okay back to Lindsey...

My Mom got this cute picture from her friend, Yaya. I think it is so funny!!

Camera Critters: Crazy Dog

2009-08-02T01:32:00.003-04:00

Ahhhh, Parker, whatya doin'?

Yeah!

2009-07-17T16:28:00.002-04:00

We are going to the family cottage tonight for an extended weekend! It is going to be so much fun. Maybe I can get some animals pictures taken!

Yup...we are taking the dogs. It is going to be crowded in the van:)

Have a good weekend everybody!

My Two Sleeping Dogs

2009-07-05T23:33:00.004-04:00

Here is a picture of my two dogs. The black one is Sydney and she is OLD!!! My Mommy and Daddy got her when she was about 2 or 3 years old. They don't know her exact age. She was a stray. She is now about 13 or 14 years old.

The one on the couch is Parker. He is still a puppy. He is 8 months old. My Daddy says we saved him. His previous owner couldn't keep him anymore and was going to send him to the pound and we took him so he wouldn't have to go to the pound. He has chewed three of my Mommy's shoes! He also wakes her up earlier than she would like. My Mommy calls him the pee machine and wood chipper. Because he was peeing all over the floor, but he has gotten better. Wood chipper because he pulls wood off the wood table in our backyard and he just chews it like a chew toy.

The two dogs kind of deal with each other.

Happy Cow

2009-06-28T14:10:00.002-04:00

My Mommy got this again from her good bloggy bud, Jeannie. Our whole family loves cows! My Daddy works for a co-op that helps diary farmers.

Mice In Car

2009-06-17T13:58:00.002-04:00

My Mommy got this picture from her friend, Jeannie. On Saturday, Jeannie does Caturdays which my Mom loves. I can hear her laughing really loud when she is checking on Jeannie's blog.

Fun Pictures Of Animals

2009-05-19T22:25:00.005-04:00

Wow, I really neglected my daughter's blog. I just got so busy with mine. She kept bugging me to put stuff on her blog. She is going to be so excited to see that I have updated it. I had snagged these pictures from my friend Jeannie over at Jeannie's Happy World.

Lindsey's Index-Wolverine

2009-03-13T10:45:00.004-04:00

The wolverine is my favorite animal. It is the mascot for the University of Michigan, which is my favorite school. My Daddy took me to a football game once and I had so much fun tailgatting. I love all colleges that use animals for mascots. My favorite hat is a wolverine head. It is fake of course. See photo on my sidebar.

Lindsey's Index-Dugone

2009-03-04T13:52:00.002-05:00

My Mom and I are starting something new. We are still going to post pictures of animals, which I love. We are also going to post pictures that I draw of animals. On these certain pictures, I will put certain information about the animals

These certain pictures will be called Lindsey's Index.

The dugone reminds me of a walrus and a seal.

Dori Speaks Whale

2009-03-02T17:04:00.003-05:00

Me and my sisters are really getting into Finding Nemo. I love it when Dori speaks whale. My mom's favorite is the escape' part. She says that Ellen Degeneres did a good job.

Enjoy the video. To listen please turn off the music that is near the bottom of the blog:)

I Miss Up North

2009-03-01T14:57:00.002-05:00

My Mommy did this for me. I think it looks so cool. Makes me want to go up north with my Grandparents. I could stay up there forever, if my parents let me.

Beautiful Creatures

2009-01-29T14:35:00.003-05:00

Horses are such beautiful creatures. The picture with the three horses is actually a family. At least that is what Mommy read when she downloaded the photo.

My Mommy rode a horse once. She said she would never do it again. Her back and neck hurt for days after the ride. They even gave her the easiest horse to ride.

Slimy Creature

2009-01-20T22:32:00.002-05:00

This is a picture of the American bullfrog. When Lindsey is up at her Grandparent's cottage, she captures frogs and puts them in a bucket of water. Throughout the day, I ask her to please put the frog back. His family misses him and finally after a while she does.

I feel bad for the critters she captures.

Hey, It Is Mufasa!

2009-01-15T00:27:00.003-05:00

Hey, it is Mufasa! This is an African Lion. I don't remember Lindsey talking much about this animal. All I know is that this animal is a bit dangerous, but lovely and majestic.

Deadly Animal

2009-01-12T15:43:00.002-05:00

This is an anaconda. Only Lindsey and her love of animals would think this animal is cool. I watched a program once where they had a chicken or hen being squished to death by this thing.

I could do without this animal. Not Lindsey, "all animals are cool, Mom"

She is going to be my vet.

Ducks In A Beautiful Image

2009-01-06T00:37:00.002-05:00

My Mommy got this emailed to her. Ducks are in the water and you see an upside down image of the town buildings. My Mommy thought this was a very cool picture. I just like the ducks.

Happy New Year!

The Underwater Swimmers

2008-12-31T00:25:00.003-05:00

Lindsey loves the humpback whale picture. She goes on the National Geographic website a lot. When she does she always listens to the whale's songs.

She even has her little sister loving the songs. They sit together in front of the computer just gazing into the screen.

The picture of the turtle with the fishes is a surprise for you Lindsey. This picture was emailed to me. I think the fishes are so pretty.

Scary Animal

2008-12-28T02:39:00.002-05:00

Whoa, the picture is so tiny. This is a lemon shark. All sharks scare me. Ever since I saw "JAWS" That is a movie Lindsey will not see until she is 18! Though, for a while there, I was obsessed with sharks.

Niabi Zoo VII

2008-12-22T13:51:00.004-05:00

This was the first time we saw a peacock up close. It was so pretty. To bad it wouldn't open it's wings for us. That would have been magnificient!

The Bald Eagle looked show majestic perched on the branch.

I really liked this zoo. It had animals that wasn't in our hometown zoo.

Again, this zoo is located outside Moline, IL. Close to the Mississippi River.

Happy Birthday, Lindsey

2008-12-18T23:27:00.002-05:00

Happy 8th birthday Lindsey. I got you a custom signature.

Niabi VI

2008-12-17T14:59:00.001-05:00

Zebras. You know, thought they would sound like horses, but they don't.

Niabi Zoo V

2008-12-11T22:34:00.006-05:00

The bird picture, I think is a macaw. I could be wrong and it could be just a parrot.

This zoo had alot of giraffes. At the Detroit Zoo, I think I only would see two giraffes. Of course it has been a few years, so maybe I just forgot and they really had more giraffes.

I love having a digital camera. I am able to take nice close up pictures of the animals.

Niabi IV

2008-12-09T15:11:00.005-05:00

Some more pictures from the Ziabi Zoo. It is a goat. They had a farm at the zoo. Lindsey wanted to stay and look more at the farm, but Michaela hated it. She said it had a bad smell.

Puppies!!

2008-12-06T17:09:00.001-05:00

It is a SURPRISE!! Lindsey is going to love this picture when she pulls up her blog!! I got this picture from Parade.com.

The Indiana Jones Widget

2008-12-05T23:42:00.003-05:00

Lindsey is crazy about the Indiana Jones movies. She has the Indiana Jones Lego XBOX 360 game. Plays it all the time.

Niabi Zoo III

2008-12-05T13:38:00.004-05:00

Here are more pictures of the monkey looking animal. I think I got carried away.

Niabi Zoo II

2008-12-03T13:41:00.002-05:00

Here is another picture of the monkeyish kind of animal. I am sure if I gave Lindsey time, she would research and tell me the correct name of this mammal.

For now it is a monkeyish kind of animal.

He He.

Computer Problems

2008-11-30T09:40:00.001-05:00

Testing, one, two, three, testing. I think something is wrong with my feed.

Niabi Zoo

2008-11-28T23:27:00.003-05:00

Moline, Illinois was one of the areas hit hard by the midwest floods. Our hotel was elevated so we had nothing to worry about, but you could see the sandbags around some buildings. Our hotel was right off the Mississippi River

In the middle of June, we went to Illinois, for Daddy's work convention. After his meetings were over with, we went to the Niabi Zoo near Moline. It was a little warm and the sun was blazing. The next couple of post will be pictures from the zoo.

A Cutie and an Ewwwww

2008-11-27T22:46:00.004-05:00

The picture to the right is a red fox. Campared to the rat, this animal is kind of cute. Though I still would not bring it home.

I could not believe Lindsey wanted this picture on her blog. Rats. Ew, these creatures gross me out, YUCK!! She knows I do not like rodents. She also knows she is to stay away from them and all wild animals. I hope she listens to me.

Lindsey's Turkey Art and Napping With Sidney

2008-11-27T00:01:00.004-05:00

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Lindsey wanted me to put on her blog a picture of her on the couch with Sidney. Lindsey was about 5 to 6 months old. The two of them were napping. Isn't it sweet?

I am finally posting a fine artwork of Lindsey's. This is a drawing of a hunter with a bow and arrow aimed at a turkey. That is Lindsey's Turkey Art. What a girl!! she even signed it, just like an artist.

Two Different Species

2008-11-24T23:36:00.003-05:00

On the right is a picture of yak. Lindsey did not say much about this animal. On the left is a picture of a hawk. As I said before she is always pointing out big birds in the sky.

The Water Animals

2008-11-23T22:32:00.002-05:00

This is the American alligator. Lindsey did not say much about this animal.
Now, the seahorse, Lindsey and I both raved about this animal. Lindsey thought it was so cute. I thought it was cute as well. Until my late teens, I thought the seahorse was a mythic creature. Around that time, I happened to see some in an aquarium. Wow, imagine that, they really do exist.

Two Action Animal

2008-11-21T21:10:00.004-05:00

This animal is the impala. Lindsey said that this animal can jump as high as a basketball hoop. They live in the savannah with the gazelles.

To the right is the puma. Lindsey thinks this animal is cute. It is beautiful, but that could be because of the snow. It makes the puma so pure.

Lindsey told me, that I made a mistake regarding the last post. The mouse in her school is called Scruffles. Sorry about that Lindsey:)

Mortal Enemies

2008-11-20T12:54:00.004-05:00

Lindsey says there is a mouse in her school. They call the mouse Stuart and it is white. HhhMmmm. She has been reading "Stuart Little".

She asked me, if I like mice and I told her no. She, of course, being the animal lover, thinks they are cute. I remember being a kid and always having issues with mice. In the 1990's Lindsey's Grandma, Omi, had all the holes to the house plug, so there were no longer any issues. One fall we had a rat problem, because of the people who has lived on the next street. They had firewood piled up behind their garage, which led to the rats all around the neighborhood. Ever since then, in Roseville, you have to keep your firewood off the ground by so many inches. Rodents.....ewwwww!

Now cats used to be my favorite. Until, my sister's cat, Meijer, scratched my face. I had picked her up. She started squirming so I was about to put her down and she flip over and scratched me! No longer like cats.

But, cats help reduce the rodent population.

A Possible Meany And A Sweetie

2008-11-17T22:45:00.004-05:00

This is an African wild dog. Lindsey thinks this animal is cute. This animal reminds me of a dingo. If you remember an old post, I hate dingos.

To the left is an maned wolf. Lindsey is just crazy about maned wolves. She did a school project where they had to discuss certain animals and 5 objects in their habitat. She used a poster board. She met all the criteria and did well. She heard of the maned wolf through "Go, Diego, Go". The episode was about Diego trying to find a puppy for a maned wolf mommy.

Furry And Scaly

2008-11-16T02:33:00.003-05:00

Here is Mai Xiang, the panda bear. I think he might be famous. I do not know. When Lindsey showed me the picture, the panda had a name. The other picture is a lizard running on water. It is amazing, it can walk on water. Must be because he is moving fast and he is so light.

The Hunters

2008-11-14T23:34:00.004-05:00

The Bald Eagle. Our nation's national treasure. Lindsey likes to point out big birds in the sky. We actually had a hawk circling us last month, while we were waiting for Daddy as he was in 7/Eleven. The thing was, we were in the car, so what was he going to do to us?

This is the Asian lion. She didn't really say much about this animal except to remind me to put Asian lion.

A Big Animal And An Old Animal

2008-11-13T19:42:00.005-05:00

The African elephant. Lindsey thought it was funny that the political parties trademarks are animals. She kept asking people which animal did they vote for in the election. She is such a hoot when it comes to animals.

The tortoise can live up to 150 years old. A few year ago, there was a tortoise that had died that was aboard the HMS Beagle during the Crimean War. Those animals are just amazing.

Animals From Opposite Sides Of The World

2008-11-12T21:42:00.006-05:00

Lindsey looked at this picture and said she wanted the artic fox on her blog. She made sure I knew it was not a wolf. Yes sweetie, I know.

This is not Merkat Manor. Oh, I love that show. I was so sad when Flower died and then the following week, Mozart, died as well. My daughter every now and then wants to watch that show, but I tell her that there is violence between merkats and some of them die. I don't think it would bother her. She seems to know that is the nature of things. I was bothered when those two had died.

The Little Creatures

2008-11-12T00:12:00.003-05:00

Lindsey thinks skunks are cute. The baby ones are cute. Just look at them, they are adorable. The adult ones, ew. A few years ago, we had a skunk spray our dog, Sidney, at night. That was not a fun experience. I gave that dog, I don't know how many baths. The house stank forever. We were trying to see the house at the time. It is a miracle we sold that house.

Lindsey loves feeding the chipmunks when we visit her grandparent's cottage. She and her sister, Michaela, every morning, will bring out nuts for the chipmunks. As soon as they leave, the chipmunks come out scammering for the nuts.

2008-11-10T22:25:00.004-05:00

This is the nile crocodile. I don't recalled Lindsey saying much about this animals, except that she wanted it on her blog.

Lindsey had asked that some water animals be shown. She wanted to know if killer whales actually go after humans and kill them, and I told her I did not think killer whales went after humans. They kill just like all other creatures. What ever they see, they take. Yet, I would be scared if either animals were sharing my watering hole.

The Evil Twins

2008-11-09T23:21:00.003-05:00

She also thinks hyenas are cute too. I think they are quite ugly. I heard they have a laughing sound and sure enough, Lindsey had me listen and they do sound like they are laughing.

Lindsey thinks dingos are cute. She asked me, if I like them and I told her the truth-no. I told her the story about a dingo eating a baby from A Cry In the Dark, with Meryl Streep. The story did not bother her and she kept praising their good name. That is my daughter, the animal lover. To me these two are evil twins.

The Family Dog, Sidney

2008-11-09T00:15:00.000-05:00

This is our dog, Sidney. She is a chow sheltie. Lindsey said that this is her favorite dog and she must be put on her blog. Sidney is getting old. She is about 13 or 14 years old. We got her from The Michigan Humane Society in 1997. Her favorite is Daddy, but she deals with Mommy when he is not around.

Lindsey Love of Animals

2008-11-08T22:07:00.000-05:00

Lindsey really loves animals. She wanted a blog to show of animals. We will be putting up pictures of animals. The ones she likes. Also some of her artwork of animals. She wants to be a zoologist or a vet.
