aaaaah NOW i understand. ..... Isabella, oh lala, i am sure she was hot? Wasn`t she?...... as well as about Secretariat...... Sorry, takes a while til news reach europe..... ha ha ha. you guys are funny........

i googled secretariat, will look into that movie...its interesting how people and the mass media can get attached to a hype around one person or one animal, right?

ps: no , i don`t mean Lassie and Free Willie :-))))) (lol)

Not exactly a national star more of a local star, but she was a cool tiger and was missed by many when she passed. We were fortunate to live in Fort Worth at the time, spent a lot of time there with granddaughter.

I am sure, and totally agree. And of course there were no "hidden messages" underneath all of that, for example some that did not immidiately relate back to "bear" and "animal", shame on anyone who would think such a thing? We are never talking in riddles, are we? So i agree, there was no threadjack and we can continue to discuss all the other lovely animals :-).
Naomi, what were you thinking???

Blame me. Oops.
You know how much of an animal lover I am.
Knut won my hear though. Very cute bear. Makes me all warm and fuzzy.

Actually there was no hidden message.
