Come to my window

Photographer Rachel Bellinsky has taken something we see every day — pets peering out from windows — and has captured it an adorable gallery. Titled "Tails from the Fishbowl," it features a charming compilation of animal portraits she took while walking her dog, Cooper, through their Southern California neighborhood.



Bellinsky is in the process of putting together a book of photos called “Tails From the Fishbowl: Cats and Dogs With a Window Seat.” which will be ready to ship in March, but you can reserve a copy here. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Humane Society.

Baby Lizards That Fit in the Palm of Your Hand

Babies of all kinds tend to have a cuteness factor, but baby lizards get an A+ in being adorable.



Each of the little reptiles pictured here will grow up pretty fast, so it’s lucky for us some terrific photographers have got in quick and captured their cuteness on camera!

Too close for comfort?

Kate and Will's puppy's name is Lupo

The royal secret is out. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and her husband Prince William named their new pet puppy Lupo. The newlyweds welcomed the black Cocker Spaniel into their home several months ago but kept the name under wraps until now.



Lupo is Italian for "wolf." The puppy is the offspring of Ella, owned by Catherine's own parents, Michael and Carole Middleton.

Riot gear for Chicago police horses

Days after announcing that Chicago Police would get new riot gear, including 3,000 new face shields, in time for the NATO/G8 summits in May, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration has begun soliciting protective equipment for police horses, too.



Emanuel's camp is seeking bids for "police horse riot gear and training aids," including leather nose guards with "impact-absorbing foam," rear and front leg shields made of "high-impact plastic" and training tools to help prepare the horses for crowd-control operations, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. The city plans to outfit all 30 horses in the CPD's mounted unit, in excess of their annual $2.7 million budget.

Anybody want a peacock?

The Fox Hollow community in Boynton Beach, FL, is considering paying a trapper $6,000 to round up half the neighborhood population of peafowl and kill them.



“I want every one of them out of here,” said resident Dorothy Laswell. “They bang on my French doors, throw themselves at my windows, and wake me up every morning, jumping on my roof at 6 o’clock. And during mating season, they scream and holler.”



There are an estimated 400 peafowl living in Fox Hollow, and they have their defenders. So the homeowner’s association is considering a compromise of sorts: eliminating half the bird population.
