The Inner Life of Animals

Some time ago I promised you telling you about the second book I have read of Peter Wohlleben “The Inner Life of Animals” (see my blog of November 2016). What shall I say? A great and very interesting book! Something new? For a lot of you, definitely yes, but actually when we deal with world and the animals, are we better or wiser than the animals around us? I do not think so! Why should a squirrel not be solicitous to its offspring? Why can a deer not be sad when something happens to her baby or family? Emotions belong only to us humans? For me a definite no.

Just read this beautiful book and you surely will think differently. I do not want to tell more about it. Just let yourself be surprised and enjoy the beautiful, funny and sometimes sad stories of the different animals. You definitely will look with other eyes to pigs, goats, ravens, mice, monkeys, etc.

 

The first 100 days of Luna-Tara!

100 Days
Luna-Tara is a Nepali dog, which we adopted in February this year.

100 days are over now. What are 100 days? Can there happen a lot? You would say, not much? However, not for our Luna, for her, her whole life changed in these 100 days. A new country, a new life, a new home. Two “strange” people who are present day and night, a “strange” bird that is part of the family ☺ A life with a completely different daily format. Not laying in the sun all day, but living in a house. Walking three times a day on a line! There are a lot of toys, (what do you do with that?), a basket to lay in, meeting other dogs, going to the dog school and dog care etc. etc.
