let's see if I can get to 5

[truepenny]

1. (via cmpriest) The search and rescue dogs of 9/11. These are wonderful photos of wonderful dogs, and they damn near make me cry.

2. The Tempering of Men launches today! (It's the sequel to A Companion to Wolves if you need that info.) matociquala is having a contest.

3. Speaking of matociquala, she made a post yesterday about the cunning ways PTSD encourages self-sabotage. And, I think, about the importance of telling the people you love that you care about them. Because they may really need to hear it.

4. Ariel the dolphin and her baby, which you may file under omg cute! or omg dolphins are awesome!.

5. First successful use of laparoscopic(!) artificial insemination with Pallas' Cats.

Don't know if you care about "in the wild" sightings or not, but the Chicago Public Library had a display copy of "Tempering of Men" in the popular fiction mini-library. (It's like a branch library that's inside the Harold Washington Library, on the first floor. It's popular books only and in theory it's faster to nip in, grab your best-seller, and check out. In practice, check out lines are longer there than they are upstairs in the main library.)
