Dogs are animals of integrity. We have much to learn from them.

This is very important to all people, not just Europeans. This is vital for every citizen across the world.
Dan originally sent me the link to this video. I thank him enormously.
Here is the video:
I repeat, all persons who care about freedom, should sign this Act.
A lovely doggie video for today.
I came across this YouTube video while looking for something else.
“This is the heartwarming story of a shelter dog who found his voice — and completely changed my life forever. When I first walked into the animal shelter, I never expected to meet a dog like him. He didn’t bark like the others… he talked. Every sound, every expression, felt like he was trying to tell me something. This is the story of how one rescue dog went from being overlooked to becoming my best friend, and how adopting him changed both of our lives.”
Enjoy!
For those over the age of 60!
As was written on the YouTube page:

Some beautiful photos of the last full moon.
There was something really special about the last full moon. We watched as the moon rose on the very early nights of February, 2026 and I wished I had taken some photos. But no problem as YouTube had captured the images of the moon taken by others.
The Snow Moon in 2026 was the full moon that lit up the night sky on February 1, 2026, reaching its peak illumination around 5:09 p.m. EST (around 22:09 UTC) that evening. Because the moon appears full for a couple of nights around that moment, it was visible as a bright, full lunar disk on the nights of February 1 and 2. It’s traditionally called the “Snow Moon” because February is usually one of the snowiest months in the Northern Hemisphere. Here are some gorgeous images from our talented community of photographers. Enjoy them!
Our survival isn’t enough.
I make no apologies for providing little of my own words and just going straight to this video and the accompanying text.

What if the deepest human drive isn’t happiness, survival, or even love, but the need to matter?
Philosopher and MacArthur Fellow Rebecca Newberger Goldstein joins Michael Shermer to discuss The Mattering Instinct, her argument that the desire to feel significant lies at the core of human behavior. That drive helps explain our greatest achievements, from creativity and moral courage to scientific and artistic excellence. It also helps explain some of our darkest outcomes, including extremism, violence, and ideological fanaticism.
Goldstein examines why people will give up comfort, status, and sometimes even their own lives to feel that they matter. She questions why meaning cannot be captured by happiness metrics or self-help formulas, and why the same psychological force can produce saints, scientists, athletes, cult leaders, and terrorists. The conversation moves through free will, entropy, morality without God, fame, narcissism, and the crucial difference between ways of mattering that create order and those that leave damage behind.
Rebecca Newberger Goldstein is an award-winning philosopher, writer, and public intellectual. She holds a Ph.D. in philosophy of science from Princeton University and has taught at Yale, Columbia, NYU, Dartmouth, and Harvard. A fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, her work has been supported by the MacArthur “Genius” grant and fellowships from the Guggenheim, Whiting Institute, Radcliffe Institute, and the National Science Foundation. She is the author of ten books of acclaimed fiction and non-fiction. Her latest book is The Mattering Instinct: How Our Deepest Longing Drives Us and Divides Us.

Secondly, from The Guardian newspaper.
As a former Red Cross emergency volunteer in London, I have experienced that events such as blackouts, gas leaks and floods aren’t as uncommon as we would like to think. I have a camping bag as a “go bag” containing:
* toilet roll
* soap
* toothbrush and toothpaste
* a change of clothes, walking shoes and a raincoat
* a blanket
* a first-aid kit with added blister plasters and water filtration tablets
* 2 large bottles of water
* four days’ worth of non-perishable snacks (cereal bars, crackers, flapjack type things)
* a battery and solar-powered radio
* a battery and solar-powered torch
* a map and compass
* a small address book containing my loved ones’ home addresses.
There you are.
I thought we had a ‘go bag’ prepared but it must have been me thinking of it and nothing more.
Time to turn ideas into actions! Plus we have two dogs plus two caged birds that would not be left behind.
P.S. I have found the two large boxes we had purchased a while ago plus a list of the items to be taken in the event of an emergency. However these were in the garage and had been forgotten. So now they are in the home and will be prepared for use in that emergency.
Today, I am publishing a video.
That is a wonderful video!
“Rejected by his mother, Richard found love and security with the most unlikely of friends — a guard dog who adopted him as one of his own.”

About Bark & Bond: At Bark & Bond, we believe that there is nothing more powerful — and simple — than the way a dog changes our routine. Whether it’s with a look full of expectation, an unexpected lick or just by being there, silent, sharing the same space.

And here’s a YouTube video to round things off!
Exploring the connection between rest and health.
This is a one-hour video (as in a YouTube video) from an accredited US healthcare educator.
That is all for today. Just to add that sleep is so important.
‘When we turn the clocks ahead this spring, we’ll lose an hour of sleep—but for many Americans, poor sleep is a nightly problem. Lack of sleep takes a toll on physical and mental health, increasing risk for chronic conditions like high blood pressure and obesity. Our expert panelists will unpack the latest research on rest, including how social and environmental factors can impact our sleep. They’ll explore the connections between race, sleep, and health disparities. And they’ll share advice on how to improve sleep quality for better overall health.’
My son has beautiful videos of birds on YouTube.
Here is his description from that YouTube website.
I am a wildlife photographer based in the south west of England, spreading the joy of wildlife photography to everyone because the more of us that get interested in wildlife, there is hope for the future. Expect Vlog style and some tips videos. OM systems OM-1 mkII and mkI
