I was amazed to see a video on TV a few weeks back showing children in water, being held by adults and dolphins swimming around them. This was a therapy session with dolphins. It should not surprise me since dogs and horses have long been used as therapy animals.
If you would like to see dolphin therapy for yourself then here is one of my personalized invitations and go and check out Island Dolphin Care at islanddolphincare.org
They have videos that are on YouTube for you to watch and be amazed.

I visit several animal message boards. My main purpose is to find some interesting news and links to other websites that cover the rarer animal news stories. It is rare that I leave a comment on the boards and even rarer that I end up in a heated debate on one, such as what happened a few days ago.
A simple post about a dog rescue escalated into name calling of those who held the management jobs at the rescue. Then the trolls took over and completely turned it into a discussion about killing wildlife. The message board administrator got on the ball and removed the discussion. Then one day later someone started up another thread about the wildlife killing again. This was not about hunting but a discussion about the right to kill any wildlife that comes on to your property that you don’t want there. Dumb me had to jump in an mention that wildlife is protected by laws and Fish and Game authorities in each state. At that point I got jumped on!!
I think I am back to being a lurker on the message boards for the next few weeks at least.

With the internet growing by leaps and bounds, it is getting harder and harder to find really good animal websites. Even with the new Google search I am still getting garbage results. I have found most of the really neat animal websites from being a member of Stumble and just coming upon them in my own searches from other websites. Just the other day I was doing a search to compare term life insurance rates and found a totally unrelated website about that giant area of floating trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
What I would like you to do is leave a comment with suggestions of your favorite animal website or blog. I am sure that many of the readers of this blog would love to check them out too.
