THE LETTER R ~ REAR and ROCK


THE LETTER R ~ REAR

In the pet community we're rather silly about photographing our pets nether regions a/k/a the rear end or what we tend to call their tocks!  Even going so far as to celebrate on a special day in October that is called TOCKTOBER.  Do our pets care, we may never know.  



THE LETTER R ~ ROCK

Well, this is more about a bird than a rock.  An American Bald Eagle, age 31, name of Murphy, who lives at the World Bird Sanctuary in Valley Park, Missouri and he's a 'rock solid guy' so to speak.  If you've not followed his story, we suggest you check in for the latest episode ~ it will warm your heart!  Murphy is doing just what he is meant to do, that rock he sat upon for so very long ~ well, some way, somehow, there are times when everything does work out wonderfully.  If you're not able to open the link below to the story from Thursday's Washington Post, just search out Murphy online, you will find his story.  Rock on, Murphy!

  1. That was a lovely story about Murphy. He knew if he sat on his rock long enough he would end up with his chick.

  3. June, we humans do have a fixation with our cats' 'tocks, for some reason. I loved Derry's chunky thighs and rotund bottom. LOL.

    As for that story--oh, it was wonderful! I actually had no idea that a male eagle would want to incubate an "egg". I'm glad the chick found a great step-dad in Murphy. :-)

  6. Rear is funny. We don't mind having our photos taken most of the time. When we see the camera, we come a running, cats may feel differently, though. HappyFriday!

  13. Yes, we humans get much too involved in our kitties' nether regions!
    I read about Murphy and his chick, who may be able to be released into the wild.

  21. We think June has cute tocks! That eagle sure does rock the rearing duties.

  22. Oh yes, I saw this on my newsfeed.

    Males of this species are not alone in fostering the young. Human men could take a lesson, here, and be the 'rock' for theirs.
