Meet my fantastic family of foxes: Pensioner who shares her home with bushy-tailed 'Minette', 'Chico' and 'Billy'

Meet my fantastic family of foxes:
Pensioner who shares her home with bushy-tailed 'Minette', 'Chico' and 'Billy'

'Hide and seek is a favourite game of theirs - they think it's hilarious ... You just can't get angry at them'
'No matter how comfortable they are there it's still not enough. Each night they insist on a kiss and a cuddle before bedtime'
Pensioner, 64, shares three-bedroom bungalow with the foxes

You'd have thought those living in the country would prefer to hunt foxes rather than invite them into their home and let them watch TV.
But that's just what Jane Shepherd, 64, has done and whether it's going about her household chores such as laundry and washing up or spending time in the garden there is always a fox or three nearby.

For the pensioner from Whittlebury in Northamptonshire has opened the doors of her three-bedroom bungalow to three bushy-tailed friends now calls family.
'At the moment I live with Minette, Chico and Billy,' explains Jane.

A hug and a kiss: Jane Sheppard pictured at her home with one of her foxes. 'They are very affectionate - Chico loves to cover my face with kisses. They are actually a lot like cats rather than dogs'

Shall we watch Countryfile? Jane relaxes on her sofa to watch TV with one of the foxes beside her

'They are very affectionate - Chico loves to cover my face with kisses. They are actually a lot like cats rather than dogs.
'Foxes are very independent, wilful and curious creatures. They are very quiet and great at sneaking up on you when you're not looking.

'Hide and seek is a favourite game of theirs - they think it's hilarious. Foxes can be naughty animals to live with but they are so delightful at the same time. You just can't get angry at them.'
Jane lives with the two females, Billy and Minette, and one male fox, Chico.Minette and Chico, six-years-old, were both young pups abandoned by their mother when they were found by local people.

Happy family: Jane lives with the two females, Billy and Minette and one male fox, Chico (pictured in the den she created for them)

In the garden: Jane gives one of the foxes a treat as they explore her back yard

Billy was rescued as an adult after a car accident when Jane took her in, so her age remains a mystery.
"Foxes usually revert quickly to their natural behaviour after they've been in contact with humans," said Jane.

"But despite best efforts, because of their friendly personalities, some foxes just want to stay close to people.
"This means it���⒠��s not appropriate for them to be returned to the wild. They would approach people and possibly make a nuisance of themselves.

Helping out with the chores: One of the foxes keeps Jane company as she does her washing

Billy was rescued and taken in as an adult after being injured by a car

'Chico is happier indoors than outdoors and it's better for everyone if they live here at home with me.'
Since moving in with her, Jane has even created a three-story living quarters for her beloved fox family.

She can���⒠��t help spoiling her foxes with household treats either. 'I feed Billy cooked chicken, dog food but most of all she loves flapjacks," said Jane.

'And the little rascals love stealing from me as well. They live in a special den I've had built for them in my garage.
'No matter how comfortable they are there it's still not enough. Each night they insist on a kiss and a cuddle before bedtime.'

This is the best I have ever heard life explained!!

TWO WOLVES

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

"One is Evil - ����It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

"The other is Good - ����It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Double Rainbow Over London

Where's London's pot of gold? Incredible double rainbow arcs over the capital

By

Last updated at 9:30 PM on 26th October 2011

As the line from folk story Dick
Whittington famously said, the streets of London are paved with gold.
But what about the pots of gold found at the end of these double
rainbows, arcing over the capital this afternoon?
Those
lucky enough to catch a glimpse of this phenomenon might well have been
rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of the fortunes awaiting
them in four locations in the centre of the city.
As
these incredible images show, two rainbows stretched over central
London in a dramatic image sweeping over the capital's landscape.The
bright colours of the rainbows starkly contrast with the brooding, dark
clouds with a bit of sunshine and blue sky peeping through after a day
of blustering showers.It is thought the rainbows could have stretched from between Russell Square and Covent Garden in the centre of the capital.


Paved with gold? The London skyline was given a magical makeover this evening when a double rainbow arced over the capital


Dramatic: One of the rainbows cuts through the
grey landscape with a burst of colour as the sun begins to shine through
the dark and brooding cloud

Are These Actual Or Miniature Size

Posted by: "Deepak Punjabi" indigoblue2005@yahoo.com   indigoblue2005

Fake Miniature PhotographyThink these are models? Think again.
This image, and the images that
follow, are examples of a photograph technique known as 'Miniature
faking.' This is actually a full-sized house, but several tricks are
used to make it appear as if it were a miniature. The lens is tilted on its axis, making the
depth of field shallow and causing foreground and background to blur.
(This effect can also be enhanced in digital processing of the photo.)
The picture is taken from a high vantage point, as one might look down
on a model. And the colors are digitally saturated to give the effect of
a painted miniature. These techniques, combined, fool the eye into
thinking this is not a full-size object.����

Dear All
����
I need a favour!! Do you know someone that wants a puppy?

My neighbour has a puppy he's giving away (FREE!).

He's giving it away because his wife says the dog 'stares' at her when she is undressing ,

And that gives her the 'Heebie Jeebies'. I think she is just weird!

If you're interested, or know someone who is, let me know.

Here's a picture below of the dog.

How Snakes are Eaten. (not for sensitive people)

How Snakes are Eaten.
��� Siamese cobra (Naja siamensis) is one of the most amazing creatures on Earth, one of the three who are never ill. That is why at all snake farms of the South-Eastern Asia many medicines made "with help of" Siamese cobras are offered.
Dried gallbladder of snakes are used like immunomodulator, the medicine reinforcing immune system; encapsulated snake oil is a natural product containing collagen - good for CVD prevention; powder made of snake genitals is a secret of men's sexual drive.
There is one more thing - you may try to drink fresh snake blood and eat its still warm heart. It's believed that drinking blood of a creature with perfect immune system makes your own immune system much stronger - that's the reason why people drink blood of crocodiles and snakes. Heart is eaten to obtain the power of the animal that was killed.��� 
First of all Siamese cobra must be chosen.
��� 
It is let our from the cage and it crawls right at your feet, it seems the cobra needs just a second to get to you and make a deadly bite, but it's known that snakes don't attack first.��� 
Then the snake is caught, its throat is corded and stretched.
��� 
/
/
Then its body is cleaned.
Shallow notch and the snake's heart is taken out.
��� 
Blood is drained into a glass
When the heart is extracted it still beats for some time...
/
/
Blood is diluted with whiskey and tossed off.
/The heart is cut for two persons. It's eaten and washed down with alcohol.
/
The cooked meat of the cobra looks like this.
��� 
Snake liver tastes like beef liver, there is no much meat but it tastes rather well.
