These chickens are in a new home. The one on the left asks, "How many eggs does our new human want a day? I can give two." The chicken on the right says, "I can give one."

"I know I am the smartest dog in Texas." Bella received a high-school diploma in Texas and made the news. Read her story: http://grantsrant.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/bella-is-a-high-school-grad/

My brother is an investigative reporter for NBC. He is a four time Emmy Award winner and sixteen time Emmy Award nominee. GRANTS RANT is his blog. I have always admired my brother for fearlessly going after his passions. He has done stories on animal abuse, rescue and the inhumane capture of elephants in the wild for a well known circus. GRANTS RANT is his new project. I find it humorous as well as educational.

This is Skippy. He is amazing. He reminds me of a Border Collie. His person and I use the clicker to train him to not meow obsessively around food. He remarks, "I like to eat because I am bored. I like the texture and the taste of food."

This is Ben. He is a Bengal Cat. His people tell me that he will wait till the tub fills up with water then he will bat things into the tub and then jump in. I asked him about the water and he replied, "I love the water. I didn't know it is unusual for cats to love water. I am looking for something to slither away so I can catch it." I believe he is instinctually referring to a snake.

AFTER A LOT OF WORK, MAGGIE HAS LEARNED THAT SHE SHOULD NOT CHASE CATS.

maggie says, "i didnt know that such small beings could be my friends. i admire how they flick their tails. I didnt know that they dont like to be chased. I use to like to watch how fast they can run and how high they can jump. Smokey (cat in picture) told me that he doesnt like to be chased because it hurts his heart. I like how he is now willing to be my friend"

TILLMAN IS A 1.5 YEAR-OLD BULLDOG. HERE IS WHAT HE HAS TO SAY,

I want to say that I love to skateboard. I dream of skateboarding all the time.

I am very smart. Way smarter than what anyone thinks. I like it when I eat hamburgers. It makes me skate better.

I like to go fast because it makes me feel like everyone stops and watches me. That is the best feeling and to feel the wind in my face. I want my kid to be able to teach me tricks. I want to be able to jump off the board and then back on really quickly, but I don’t know if I can run as fast as the board. I want a wider and longer ramp with obstacles I can weave through. Can they do that for me?

May you find wisdom and humor in the thoughts and feelings of these animals.
