The hugging horse
wonderful sense of humor. He is meeting Tom for the first time and when Tom
scratches his neck they become instant friends – at least according to Levi.
Tom is the brother-in-law to the horse’s owner Janelle. To give you a size
reference, Tom is 6 foot 2 inches tall. Levi is a very tall horse! Tom decided
to give him a few friendly scratches on the neck, and the way Levi responds has
everyone laughing.
in with his neck. Then he stretches it out obviously telling him this neck
scratch is nowhere being over just yet. And who can blame him? Everyone loves a
good back scratch, and for this horse, it is no different. What a hilarious
moment to catch on film and no doubt Janelle has a very smart and lovable horse
in Levi!

20070321 The secret life of baby spiders
Photo caption: “Fired spiders and gum” from the web site, “Photography by Ewen Bell.” Neat site – check it out.
March 21, 2007
This post is for my wife. Read it quickly before it is prevailed upon me to amend it or take the post down.
Me: spiders gotta live somewhere. I just Zen them. As long as they don’t change the settings on my computer or eat my ice cream – I’m good. Whatever.
My wife: Spiders seem to make my normally unfazed, calm, and sedate wife go from zero to animated in a nanosecond. I know of nothing else that bothers my wife (except liberals… fortunately she doesn’t feel the need to squish them… .)
It is somewhat the source of amusement with me. Trust me, my amusement is not shared by my wife, and I have long since learned to adjust my approach. [Soccer Dad doesn’t wear paisley (My goodness that was an ugly tie.) - - I take spiders seriously – when they are the source of my wife’s undivided attention…]
Me to wife: Wife, I just saw on Nancy Grace that Anna Nicole Smith is still dead and the world is going to come to an end. Could ya please help me grab my computer before we go to the bomb shelter?
Wife: I don’t care - - There’s a spider in the house! Get it.
Over the years we have come to a sorta agreement. Found spiders in the house are not to be killed. They are to be invited to go outside… This seems to work as long as the spider is cooperative.
For the safety of spiders, I have posted a sign at the back door that our house is not safe for spiders. It seems to have worked.
Sooo, it was with some amusement that I saw that “Spiders Love to Snuggle.”
Perhaps Jeremy Bruno up at Voltage Gate (Besides, Mr. Bruno has not one article about spiders on his blog. What gives”) may have to interpret some of this for us, but according to Jeanna Bryner LiveScience Staff Writer LiveScience.com Wed Mar 21, 8:45 AM ET :
While not usually considered paragons of tender, familial love, some spiders do have a touchy-feely side. Scientists have discovered two arachnids that caress their young and snuggle together.
Social behavior is extremely rare in arachnids, a group of critters typically defined by their aggression, clever hunting methods and even predatory cannibalism.
"This was the best example I had ever seen of friendly behavior in an arachnid," said lead study author Linda Rayor, a
[…]
For (Phrynus) marginemaculatus, the stroking was mutual, with the three-week-olds also whip-caressing their moms and one another.

Since this is a family blog – we may wanna have Attila pick up the story here and here… . He goes places I can’t.

Thankfully today with careful breeding the Friesian horse is growing in numbers. With a beauty such as Frederick, it’s no wonder he is becoming quite a celebrity. Watching him in action showing off his speed yet grace and even his playful side, this horse is an absolute star.
