When Victorian taxidermists received a strange creature with heavy folds of grooved skin, they thought all those wrinkles needed to be smoothed out. And so the Horniman Museum’s walrus, as with so many taxidermy works made by those who hadn’t yet glimpsed the dead animal in its living state, became its own sort of walrus — heavily overstuffed until he seems about to burst, and not a wrinkle over his taut skin. - https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/horniman-museum-walrus-comes-home

Memories that time does not erase
The sun, the moon, the wind, the stars will always be around, recalling the love they shared and the peace they finally found after leaving the torment.
We've been begging for birds
And he gave us each
One feather at a time.
One tall eagle,
A red one from the bird of paradise,
One green from hummingbirds,
One yellow one from pigeons,
Blue one from nymphs
A chatty one from the parakeets,
One singer from singing parrots,
The cowardly one from the ostrich
Oh, what wings we made!
We took them to heart
And we started flying.
High Eagle Flight,
Red flight of paradise bird,
Green flight of hummingbirds,
Yellow pigeon flight,
Blue flight of nymph,
Chatty flight of the parakeet,
Flight singer parrot singer,
Cowardly flight of ostrich
Oh, I flew!
Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of the lost pours out and shines upon us to make us know that they are happy. Our hearts cry asking for your forgiveness!

In memory of our beloved Titilica

Since the world and the Earth the fluttering, the flight and the singing of birds awaken in the soul of man not only a whole range of experiences and sufferings, but they are interwoven so much with the life of man that they form a whole whole.
Titilica you are among the beings who bring such a great light to the world that even after they have left the light remains.
The flight of every bird
it's an exercise imposed,
their wings search for the unquenchable
to gather him in a hug.
Always be
a flight of a wing
a flight in a hug...( Violeta Pasat)
Your hatred took flight, making you sick. However we cannot and will not forget everything you have done for us and the beings who have come near you including those of your species. All of us and you treated us with great love. Memories of and of you will never fade.
You, Titilica, whom we held in our arms for a short time we hold in our hearts forever.The fact that you are no longer here will always cause us pain, but you are forever in our hearts until we meet again.
When you left, we felt like we had lost part of our own body. It's like taking us with you, with all the pain of losing someone we never thought we'd lose.
So losing a loved one is painful, but losing yourself is even worse, because you are the most beloved of all. You should come back to our side, please stay longer this time, okay?

In memory of our beloved Titilica!
A room without books is like a body without a soul. - Cicero

It is said that unlike animals, man is an eternal being; this means that his existence never ends, even after the death of the body (Luke 16:19-31). An imperishable body will rise from a perishing one. (1 Cor 15: 42).
Then why does it hurt so much both physically and mentally that you left us the precious being?
Although the creator of all was God, and he had every right to name the animals, yet it happens differently: "and the Lord God, who had made out of the Earth all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air, brought them to Adam, to see how he would call them; so that all living beings should be called as Adam would call them. And Adam named all the animals and all the birds of the sky and all the Wild Beasts”.
Humanity is responsible for animals and has a duty to avoid the two possible extremes: treating animals savagely or considering them as "non-human persons". I do not believe that animal instinct and reflex are sufficient to define a being, in the sense of the psyche. That is why your name will remain written in eternity for what you have done for those and those of your species who have known you and who have also received a name, as well as for us.
Your name bears in its structure the name Gefion which means"giver". Gefion is an ancient Norse goddess associated with prosperity, abundance and fertility.
One of your most important qualities is soul beauty. This is doubled by the physical one, the two accentuating each other, even if you have a disease on your feet acquired from hatred.
You are among the best souls who have swallowed pain without passing it on, without making others feel it in turn.
Beauty is a trait that characterizes both complex things and those that are clear and easy to understand. Thus, it is present in every thing or being that exists. However, the simplicity of your actions and gestures is the trait that makes you even more beautiful in our eyes. We miss you, your kisses, your one-man gang...
You were, are and will remain a blessing to us, because being with us, you knew how to react to our states. A free spirit, a gentle heart and a kind soul is all you have been, are and will remain for this world. All the quotes below fit your beloved being.
To us you are an immortal being because you live forever in our memory, in our souls, that which resists time (glorifying, glorifying, singing).
According to some beliefs, animal spirits are embodied in us throughout our entire lives.
In the religion of the Native American Indians, the spirit of a certain animal enters the soul of a man at the very moment of his birth. His duty is to watch over the person in whom he lives, to give him the strength and wisdom that characterize him.
Thank you for all this beloved being.

Dogs give you unwavering love, devoted friendship,and constant amusement. The majority of dog lovers are aware that having a dog improves your life. But is that knowledge accurate, and is there another component at work? Science is one of them.

Is it OK for a cat to lick my hair? Therefore, grooming is only an expression of feline love! Your cat will groom your hair most frequently while you are laying down or asleep because he views these times as appropriate for "affection grooming. If, however, he prefers to "groom" or "eat" your hair while you are engaged in physical activity, it is more probable that he is being playful.

Cats have a variety of unusual vocalizations that are frequently amusing, but chattering represents one of the most intriguing vocal expressions. A cat's chattering causes a quick stuttering, clicking, or trembling of the jaw. Tweets and chirps that are brief, quiet, or high-pitched are frequently heard along with them. When a cat spots an interesting prey animal, like a bird or a rodent, outside a window, it typically chatters.

Dogs may engage in combat over territory, to defend their families, or as a result of excessive excitement. Despite what humans may think, dogs do not fight without cause. During a battle or attack, dogs can seriously hurt one another, and in extreme situations, the injuries can be fatal. If dog fighting ever breaks out, it is essential that dog parents understand how to stop it safely.
