Deep in the PnF Arctic Tundra, amid frozen ground where no trees grow, Pets have learned to adapt to their environment, carving grandiose homes, castles and furniture from blocks of ice. Spearmint ice comes from areas of the PnF Arctic Tundra where the ground has small traces of iron ore. Pet Families that appreciate the more subtle things in life will construct their strongholds from spearmint ice!

During the last 30 years there has been a surge in the applications of rare earth elements and their alloys in several technology devices such as computer memory, DVDs, rechargeable batteries, autocatalytic converters, super magnets, mobile phones, LED lighting, superconductors, glass additives, fluorescent materials, phosphate binding agents, solar panels and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents. The most abundant rare-earth element is cerium, which is actually the 25th most abundant element in Earth's crust, having 68 parts per million (about as common as copper).

There are 17 metallic elements that make up the rare earths. You will find them, with the atomic numbers 21, 39, and 57–71, in the middle of the periodic table. These metals have unusual fluorescent, phosphorescent, conductive and magnetic properties—which make them very useful when alloyed, or mixed, in small quantities with less uncommon metals, such as iron.

Like many Commonwealth countries, Australia's flag depicts the Union Jack. The large Commonwealth Star beneath the Union Jack represents the Australian States and Territories, and the Southern Cross refers to Australia's geographical location.

The perfect party location has been found. A large grass-covered field, close to town, so that all the pets can easily walk to the party.

What are you waiting for, get those invitations out to all the pets and set up your end-of-summer party the way you have always wanted. Where did I put my dancing shoes?

These clouds are so inviting, fluffy and soft. I wonder how it would feel to walk upon the clouds. Would the feet sink deep into the cloud or would your feet skim lightly across the top? Would you become tired like you do if you walk for a long time on the ground, or would you be able to walk and never tire, no matter how far you went?

Two red hearts flying high are a joyful sight, and flying kites is always such a fun pastime. The day is clear, and the breeze is steady—let’s join these happy people and fly some kites of our own.

Where do I want to be? Under the sea. The water is warm the fishes are darting around in colourful schools—nibbling a bit of plant here and there.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.

In the fourth dimension, where new scenes, effects and decorations are sometimes formed by pressurised gases, bubbles are released into the air. Sometimes individually, and sometimes in large clusters. In many sizes, shapes and colours. It is understood that the prevailing season and weather conditions may influence the colouration, density and shapes of these formations, and that nothing stays the same…

Many travellers prefer to drive at night because the roads are less busy. The only other pets out at this time are those who may be hauling goods. Traveling at night does have a downside though. You miss what beautiful scenery you may be driving past. It's a good thing there is a full moon to help illuminate the road ahead.

The beginnings of the Passover story don't necessarily start with Moses, Pharoah, and Egypt - but with a young man named Joseph. He was sold into slavery to traveling merchants by his own brothers! God was with him though and after decades he became second in power over all of Egypt. He eventually brought his father, Jacob, and all of his brothers and their families to live in Egypt. Hundreds of years later his people were slaves to a new Pharoah, and that's when Moses came on the scene.

Most pets can swim or sail The Open Sea for days, without ever seeing or hearing another soul. Until you, the artist, add some sea birds, a boat, or even an island for them to stop and visit...

Your little pet has come to the seaside, and watches patiently on the shore, hoping for a glimpse of sea life. Will your pet leap into the water in glee, splashing around in the shallows? Will a seal or a manatee swim to shore to greet them? Or will a pirate ship round Lighthouse Point, giving the rocks a wide berth?

Will your Pet reach Trilliant Island in time to cross the suspension bridge, before the island floats off into the nether regions, and if they do reach the island, will they be able to return?

This picturesque little farm was settled in 1835 by ancestors of the AKC Best in Show champion Scottish Terrier, Sadie. Her ancestors chose this location because it reminded them of their beloved Scottish Highlands. She, along with her extended family, run the busy 500-acre farm and lovingly care for the other pets who call Bonnie Glen home. Sadie hopes to keep the farm in the family for generations to come.

The meaning of Easter is a matter of faith. We will have a competition (2015) ‘What does Easter mean to me?’ You are welcome to respond however you wish. As a child, it meant this to me:

1. There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.

~ David Weston

Native Americans have long used totem poles to greet visitors or mark history. Poles are typically found carved out of one log; although building a totem out of carved pieces is another way of expressing the story of the pole. Natives carved poles to represent a visual history or a significant event, and with totem pieces PnF players will be able to stack and create a historic story for others to visit and read.

It's night time in Australia, and as the sun sets on Sydney, the Blue Mountains come to life. Illuminated by starlight, the steep cliffs and rolling peaks of the range seem to shimmer in the darkness.

A blank slate, a tabula rasa. Achiever Beaver surveys a clear stream cascading through the mountains and makes plans to build a new dam. A stream this large will require a curvilinear superstructure on a strong foundation of deciduous logs. The spillways will require some calculation, and the top of the dam will be a boardwalk of planed spruce. How spacious and serene the new beaver pond will be.

As the evening sun brushes the tops of the hills surrounding Loch Ness, the magnificent Urquhart Castle feels the chill of the wind in its stones much more than it did before.
