Rotifers

No, I don't consider microorganism "pets" in the conventional, or even the Unconventional sense. Still they are fun to observe as long as you have a microscope.

My microscope is ancient and my slide is the glass of an old frame.... Still here are a couple of interesting videos of rotifers (Rotaria).

Philippine Animal Welfare Sciety - Animals for adoption

I simply had to place a link to this blog because first of all it's content is related to mine, secondly it is a very well done blog, and finally becuase it supports the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).

In it you will find pictures and stories about diferent shelter cats and dogs up for adoption from PAWS. The blog itself is very neat and has ome wonderful photos.
