Japan in our thoughts and prays
I believe that most of us are following with great concern Japan nuclear crisis and the rescue missions to the tsunami and earthquake affected areas.
Not only people, but also animals, are victims of this catastrophe and were a week ago all was normal, today doesn't exist anymore.
So today, I pray they can solve this terrifying nuclear problem and finally to start being able to rebuild their devastated land.

Pets in a new 3D virtual world
 |
As someone that has dogs and occasionally breeds them, I sometimes face with people that the first thing they ask, do they shade a lot ? do they make much noise ? are they over exited ? ... Those questions most of the times make me throw the answer, buy a toy, instead. Now, with a new 3D potable technology being released, guess what ... many people will buy virtual pets instead ... or maybe not ...  Anyway, imagine a portable world, where we begin by choosing a puppy from one of several breeds. Some puppies are outgoing and friendly, while others are selfish and stubborn. Each puppy temperament provides it's own unique set of training issues but their end results can be rewarding. Once you have selected your puppy, you will bring it home and start to bond with it. Using the stylus and touch pad you scratch the puppy's ears and rub its belly in order to welcome the puppy into your home and make it feel safe. Next, you can take advantage of the in-play microphone by naming your dog and repeatedly calling it by its name till it understands you. As you continue through the game you are encouraged to train your dog and teach it tricks so the use of the mic is not a one-time deal. You will be calling out commands to your dog as well as its name, again, taking full advantage of the DS's tricks. As you continue to work with your dog, you will find that once you have brought a puppy into your home, it does require love and constant attention. In fact neglecting the puppy and not playing with it on a regular basis will breed the kind of dog we don't want.  The more you work with your dog the healthier and stronger it becomes allowing for longer play time and training. You will eventually find yourself walking around to parks and training facilities. Go to the park and begin your Frisbee playing. Go to the training facility and work on those tricks. Get where I'm going with this? Eventually you will enter your dog into competitions and begin winning prize money. Money you can use to buy items and dog toys and ... more puppies! Now this cute and cuddly Nintendogs of the DS era have been brought to life in the new game for the Nintendo 3DS ! And with they more realistic features they will also allow * Visualize your pet in 3D * Pets interact with the owner via the Nintendo 3DS camera * Features Facial recognition technology * Exchange Pets via StreetPass * Pets can mimic their owner * Augmented reality feature So, maybe many lonely people without the patience to have real pets, should consider this new technology solution that allow them to love, care, train and even show their pet ;)  |

Dog Trekking to Cabo Espichel
 Teco, my Australian Shepherd ,in one of the views of the Atlantic Ocean  This weekend there was a dog trekking to Cabo Espichel organized by the association Pé ante Pata. On this dog trekking I took my faithful Teco, my Australian Shepherd blue merle.Cabo Espichel is located near Sesimbra, just take the path towards Sesimbra and follow the arrows. My last visit was in my youth, taken by my parents and really had no recollection of this cable that enters the Atlantic Ocean. The view is amazing because the landscape is arid and dotted with a few buildings surrounded by ocean.  The buildings are referred to the Shrine of Our Lady of Pedra Mua, and our guides mentioned a legend created to justify the remains of dinosaur footprints in the 18th century, and of course searching the net we find the so called legend,   Memory Chapel Frei Agostinho of Santa Maria (17, Tomo II, p. 474) narrates it with details: «(…) claim that Our Lady appeared on the beach that lies beneath the same rock where he built Ermidinha, which appeared on her donkey, and that the donkey had climbed up the rock, and that it climbed using hands and feet and leaving printed traces of the hands and feet (…)». Stressing the «tradition of those who saw it stated, and the signs were timeworn», he adds that the Ermida «founded on the place were Our Lady stopped» and that the chapel «often undid the time; but the devotion of those who serve, reformed so many times, despite its rigors.» Translated from the source: Cult Our Lady of the Cable in Wikipédia So there is no doubt that this trips enrich us culturally ;) Ok, from the historical and cultural part, we go into the trip itself … As heavy rain fall on the night before, I was waiting until the last hour that this dog trekking was postponed and fear that on Sunday, only half a dozen people would show up. It surprised me, the sunny day and the number of people who came ... there is no doubt that these dog trekking have become a success and attracted many people.  They are very pleasant walks in the midst of very nice people that make you feel very welcome. And despite of today that I feel like a 80 old women with very sore legs, I know that in the next dog trekking I will do my best to be there.  Until today this is the dog trekking that demanded more from me and that wasn't due to the number of miles walked, but more to the status of the tracks were the rains open ditches and made mud rivers, that required more effort to overcome.  The local available information about the shrine and dinosaur footprints  The dinosaur footprints on very visible on the ground Overall it was a trip with breathtaking views, in a nice friendly atmosphere, punctuated with challenges. Many thanks to the organization for this experience ;)   |
