A Cat plays Squirrel and saves its own Life

Recently in Boston, a lovely white house cat named Sugar moved to a new apartment with her owners. This new apartment was on the 19th floor and had a lovely veranda.

While out on the veranda Sugar slipped and fell all 19 floors to the ground below. Her owners were horrified, but found sugar fine on the sidewalk below. She was a little shaken but she was grooming herself and had no injuries.

Sugars vet explained that she as able to survive the fall by spreading her legs like a flying squirrel and catching the wind. This softened her fall and saved her from injury.

Million Dollar Dog

If you love your pet, you think they are priceless, that no amount of money is enough to ask for their love. But in China, an 11-month old Red Tibetan Mastiff, just got a home after his owner paid 1.5 million dollars for him.

The dog who’s name means Big Splash in Chinese, is the worlds most expensive dog. Thought to be one of the ost pure breed dogs on earth, his lineage can be traced back to ancient China.

Tibetan mastives are highly regarded in Chinese culture. Thought to be holy animals that provide their owners with blessings of health and security, the breed is commonly identified as independent, intelligent and very protective of its owners and their property.

I bet there are a few million dollar pooches at the local shelter, who would be happy to have you, at a much more reasonable price.
