Here's a little Japanese-style aid to meditation: a pagoda lantern surrounded by natural stones. It can also aid concentration in the practice of yoga. Whilst creating a mini relaxation garden, it is recommended to stay with neutral and earthy colors, such as like white, cream, grey and beige.

Get your flippers ready! This staple in Canadian homes is coming your way. A storm is brewing and we thought you could use one or two of these. We would have gift wrapped it for you but have you ever tried to wrap a shovel?

Oh boy! I am going for my first lasso lesson today. What is a lasso? It is a very long thin rope that may have a slight stiffness to keep the loop part open. Ranchers use it to catch cattle when they want to give them a good brushing and maybe some medicine. I thought it would be fun to be able to twirl the loop over my head and run around catching fence posts because you know how fence posts like to wander off.

Ok, I hold the rope like this, and then the loop like that and oh no…I have just caught my own foot. This rope twirling is hard to learn. Oh, now I have the rope all tangled around my body. I will keep practicing. I bet you would be good at this; give it a try.

Choo-choo! What? Oh, it's not that kind of railing?

In 1842 the number of known rare-earth elements was six: yttrium, cerium, lanthanum, didymium, erbium and terbium. Rare earth elements have become extremely important to our world of technology owing to their unique properties. These elements are critical to technologies ranging from mobile phones and televisions to LED light bulbs and wind turbines.

Are these cats saying "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"? Dear me, no! I imagine our ginger friend on the left is saying, "Dude, where's my breakfast?" The innocent looking feline in the middle is thinking: "Why doesn't this human put the fire on?" And the grey cat is wishing you would stop whatever pointless activity you're engaged in and set his clockwork mouse going, or dragging a lure across the carpet for him to pounce on.

Simple, classic and elegant, I work as a frame for artwork, a colour mask, or a mount within an outer frame.

I am happy to join my shape friends. I am an oval, a slightly squashed version of a circle. I don’t roll well, but I make great cat eyes. You can use me to create eggs or holes in the ground, be careful you don’t fall in. I am also great as a plate; you can decorate me around the edges or the middle and place yummy treats on me. Play with me, and pair me with other shapes to make your art slides fun and unique.

I am jumping in to join my shape friends. Don’t I look terrific? I am a pentagon, and I have five sides and five corners. Your pets can have so much fun fitting me together to form unusual art. A single pentagon looks like the silhouette of a barn or house. Put a few of me together, and I make good paving stones or wall decorations. Play around with me and see what new animals or fun buildings you can create.

We have puzzle shapes, but I have come to join in the fun as they were a bit lonely with no connecting puzzle pieces to join up with. Now you can finish a whole puzzle. When you are done having fun joining me up with my pals, you and your pets can decide on what picture should be on me if you want a picture.

Easy, breezy short hair. Short hair can suit any pet and be cooler on those hot days.

There are many hairstyles. Play around with all the choices and see what your pet likes best. It is so easy to change your hairstyle and colour.

This rural white church in New Hampshire might be small, but it makes a big impact in the community. The minister shares sermons encouraging its members to show God's love to everyone. It lives that out by having a weekly meal of sharing where anyone can join in bringing nearby residents together for a delicious meal and meaningful connections.

If you are going to have something in your birdcage, you need something under your birdcage to keep things like birds and plants from falling out. Have you ever tried to put something in a box that had no bottom—it is impossible, I tell you.

An ancient stone, diamond/flower pattern wall or flooring.

Autumn is in the air as leaves gather amongst stones on a beach in Bursa, a city in northwest Turkey.

Stone walls are found in many places in Turkey. In Istanbul, there are remnants of an ancient wall that ringed the old city of Constantinople. In Alanya, there is the Alanya Castle which is also ringed by stone walls.

What is she wearing? Is that the puffer fish who mugged the eel? Why, all the neighborhood is swimming by, it's fun to fishwatch!

Lost to the story sea, or was it the kraken? Either way, ship wrecks are a treasure haven for all sea creatures living deep below the ocean waves!

If you're a driftwood collector or for shells, this beach is a treasure trove. Just remember that you won't be able to get them through customs with them.

A misty winter morning in Gothenburg, as you wait for one of the 263 trams that serve 12 routes to take you to work or an early breakfast.

Dry stone walls are an ancient craft going back thousands of years. By fitting stones tightly together without mortar and choosing slightly smaller stones the higher you go to create a tapering inward wall you can build a stone wall that can withstand an earthquake and can last hundreds of years.

Rocks and stones can be found in many different shapes, some you have to look very carefully at before their likeness to things familiar are revealed and at other times it is very clear what the stone represents. Would you take this stone if you found it or leave it for others to discover?

Malmö is the third-largest city in Sweden. If you are a collector of stones you would probably find some interesting specimens on this beach. Sweden does not have just stone beaches, there are plenty of soft sand beaches as well.

You called for snow? Everything is covered in the cold stuff. Is the water frozen too? Tread carefully to find out. What this scene needs is some friendly pet houses and some trees and some snowmen. What this scene really needs is for you to put whatever you like and make it your own winter scene.

Yay! What a treat. Dances around holding a basket of one of nature's true delights. If you are looking for a burger that is not made of meat you should look no further. The earthy taste and dense texture is filled with umami. Stand by taste buds, ready, go.

Sunrise? Sunset? Which one is it? You decide! Whichever one you think it is, it's a beautiful foggy scene, isn't it?

An exhilarating hike on the trail alongside Canim Lake is just what the doctor ordered for the winter doldrums. It's exhilarating for several reasons. One, to enjoy the pristine beauty of the forest and lake, two, to feel the crisp cool air on your face, and, three, to look for animal tracks to see what pets like to live out here. Maybe you will meet a new friend?

Is that a violin I hear a-tunin' and feet a-stompin'? Is it time for a classic country music song of doom, gloom, despair and agony?

Toronto was a quieter place in the 1950s. The skyline was made up of a few buildings built twenty years earlier, the brick buildings were defaced with soot from the industry that was the major one on the waterfront, and you couldn't go out for a drink or get your shopping on Sundays. Perhaps this old truck played a part in the construction of the new buildings and the first neon lights of the city?

How about a gentle pig handshake? Erm, pawshake...

Who's up for a hug? Come closer!

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.

After they had breakfast with their risen Lord and Friend, Jesus had a conversation with one of His best friends, Peter, who had denied Him three times when Jesus was arrested and put on trial. Jesus asked Peter if Peter loved Him more than he loved fishing - his life's occupation. He asked this of Peter three times. Peter, each time, affirmed his love for His Master and Savior. Jesus then gave him a new "occupation" - to feed His sheep, His people. He also told Peter that one day Peter would die for being a follower of His. Peter, knowing that there would be dark days ahead, was committed to following the One Who is the Light of the world.

The New Testament accounts of Jesus' death aren't pleasant. After having suffered cruelly at the hands of soldiers and from the hearts of His own people, the eyewitness accounts say that the land became dark during His last three hours on the cross. When He breathed His last, under that foreboding sky, the earth quaked and rocks split. Being late in the day, His followers buried Him in a nearby, borrowed tomb. While tragic, something triumphant was about to happen in just a few days!

"That's one small step for pets, one giant leap for pet-kind."

This hot weather truly is getting to me. Don’t mind if I take a little rest here in the shade. Just a 15 minute penguin nap should do. I know I should be grateful that I am not freezing my tail feathers off but this heat just leaves me with no energy. I want to dance but it seems all I can do each day is eat and sleep. Would you please turn on a fan? I could use the white noise to help doze off.

I’m such a sad lil penguin. Won’t you please take me home? I recently learned that some humans insist upon calling us African penguins by a not so nice name for donkeys. Sniff sniff. Apparently they think that our calls to fellow colony members sound like a braying donkey. How rude! We are penguins! Not donkeys! Sheesh! So I am just looking for a nice home where I will be appreciated for who I am.

Hot sand! Hot Sand! Hot Sand! OK, so who had the brilliant idea to transplant us from the frigid barren desert of Antarctica to this hot and sometime humid climate of Africa? Was it you? I’m looking at you! I’m melting my tail feathers off! Next time can we please try for something a lil more temperate? Like Canada? At least they get four seasons…even if it is all in one day.

Ooh, I’ve almost got it! Can you give me a paw? Oh, no, there it goes again! That little tail of mine, well, I have been chasing that for quite some time. We tabby cats know how to blend in, and enjoy quiet fun, but the thing that eludes us, is capturing the nefarious tail! It’s there and then it’s gone! Yet it’s always following me around. I must snatch it! I must!

Well, hello there! They call me a tabby cat, do you know why? It’s French, ooh lala! Meaning striped, and look at these lovely stripes of mine. Honestly, the real benefit of being a grey tabby? I blend seamlessly into the night, keeping tabs on all the neighborhood shenanigans. Slinking around on silent paws, keeping the peace and when the delicate balance is about to top over, there I am popping out of the dark of night, giving a swat to anyone out of line. And when I need reinforcements, why I just plop my furry bottom on the fence and sing the song of my people! Care to join me?

Are you ready? Put on your cat suit and I’ll be happy to teach you all my cat moves! Sitting for hours is tough! You would think it was a no brainer, but maintaining stationary poses are hard. You’ll see that little dust mote float by, but you have to resist that urge to swat. Next we’ll work on shedding. Controlling when you let the fur fly is key to maximum clothing coverage. After that we’ll follow up with demanding creamy milk. Getting just the right pitch down, to ensure your hooman gets right up out of the couch to pour your favorite liquid into the bowl. Finally, a little lesson on slow blinking. See, I’ve got it down!

It’s in the eyes. Just look at mine and I will mesmerize you with their sparkle. You know you can’t resist me because I am so cute. My coat is soft and silky, did you know? During the day I like to curl my silver tipped tail into my body and rest so that in the evenings I can stealthily hunt for food. My keen sense of hearing might give me that extra minute or two of rest because I won’t miss anything. Meat is my favourite food but I can survive on just about anything, so bring on the treats and I will love you forever.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the cutest fox of all? Me of course. I know I should be resting but I can’t resist sitting here and looking at myself. Today I am wearing my beautiful shawl which accents my soft silky fur. What a wonderful addition I would make to your pet family. Take me home and I can adorn the back of your couch. My feet are lovely and padded, so you won’t hear me wandering around at night.

Now I do like this angle when looking in the mirror. I would have to be the cutest, most dazzling silver fox of all time. I have everything that makes me attractive. Soft silky fur, the most amazing silver tip on my tail and I can wear a silver cape around my neck. If that is not enough to make you want to take me home and cuddle me, then look into my big bright eyes and you will be spell bound.
