MRI's tells us about Canine Brain activity!

Phoenix eyeballing me
What an absolutely fascinating article about dog brain activity, behaviour and dog feelings.   Mostly all of what is in this article below we have experienced with our dog.  I had only said two days ago when she was watching like she was listening to me talk to my partner.  I flashed a look at her and said half jokingly, "What are you thinking about this Phoenix".  I then said to my partner I often wonder what she is thinking. 

This new research reveals a lot of interesting things.   Our dog frets terribly in storms and comes for us to be with us and so that is also like a child as is said in the research.  Our dog feels earthquakes 2 hours flight away in New Zealand and behaves the same as when there is a storm outside and there isn't a cloud in the sky but she feels NZ quakes.  I think she is amazing.

So when your dog looks into your eyes they way they do, now you know that they are telling you the only way they can besides mental impressions, they love you very much.  Reading this made me feel very warm inside.

Heritage Photography of the Aboriginal people.

"Calling the Shots"  Aboriginal Photography is a very special book of photography of the Indigenous peoples of this land.  Earlier on there were many photographs that were not very nice but there were also interesting images that today a lot can be gleaned from regarding culture.   I have a book from the 1860's, The History of Australasia and this book contains many interesting images of aboriginal people in distinctly cultural situations participating in ceremony and corroboree.

I would love to peruse the entire book as the images I did saw here were extremely interesting and showed the depth these people had and still have to this very day.
