The Chinchilla is by far one of my favorite pets. I have two of them at home and love them to pieces. The Chinchilla originates from South America in the Andes mountain region near Chili. There they were valued for their soft, sleek fur, which is why they almost became extinct. It has a very soft texture which feels great on clothing and was used for both large coats to small hats. During the late 16th century they became a hot item in the fur...more
Musical history Formation and early years (19811984)Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe met in an electronics shop on Kings Road in Chelsea, London in August 1981. Recognising a mutual interest in dance music, they began to work on material together, first in Tennant's flat in Chelsea and from 1982, in a small studio, in Camden Town. It was during these early years that several songs that would later appear on future albums were created, including "It's a Sin", "West End Girls", "Rent" and "Jealousy".Starting out, the two called themselves West End, because of their love of London's West End, but later they came up with the name Pet Shop Boys, which derived from some friends who worked in a pet shop, in Ealing. They said that the new name "sounded like an English rap group".Their big break came in August 1983, when Tennant was assigned by Smash Hits to interview The Police in New York. The duo were obsessed with a stream of Hi-NRG records, made by New York producer Bobby Orlando, simply known as Bobby 'O'. According to Tennant: "I thought: well, if I've got to go and see The Police play, then I'm also going to have lunch with Bobby 'O'." They...more

Facing the Possibility of Pet Loss Dogs, no matter how strong they may seem, are actually very vulnerable creatures because of the several diseases that can affect them. A lot of canine diseases can lead to death of the animal or, if not, can mar the dog for life. For example, a cancer in your dog can still be treated by, say, chemotherapy, but the procedure can practically take the life and energy out of the dog completely. There are also diseases that can still be cured, but are causing a huge amount of pain to your dog that even death seemed more favorable. In similar cases, your dogs life really is in your hands, and so are its comfort and its suffering as well. When dogs get sick with severe diseases, their owners are suddenly faced with the difficult decision concerning euthanasia or putting a dog to sleep. When Euthanasia Would Be the Better Option Some dog owners rule out euthanasia, thinking that it is such a cruel thing to do to a pet that has been loyal and loving for several years.
