Some explanationisms about the pictures. The first few were of a couple of retrievers named Alfie and Ajax they came in together but I suspect they were from different litters so are not blood brothers but brothers nonetheless. They are two of the smartest retrievers I've ever met and we played in the spca dog run till the three of us were exhausted and the three of us just crashed on the pavement outside the dog run to wait for the owners to finish their adoption paper work. I remember the man's daughter laughing when she saw us cause both dogs were beside me, heads on my lap. I'm gonna miss them, I hope they visit when I'm there one day.
As for the Lime butterfly, I've been seeing its pupa for a couple of weeks. It was on a concrete wall out in the open, instead of camouflaged against its food plant the lime plant or some neighboring plant. So, I knew it would've been picked off by a predator the moment it emerged in all its conspicuous beauty. I've raised dozens of caterpillars before and still had the special tanks for it. So, I decided to carefully remove it and place it in the same position using some tape in the tank. Looked like I was just in time because it emerged the next morning, I let it go just as I was leaving the house. Man, just something about releasing it...Just felt good.
Haven’t you said goodbye
To the one on who your life depends?
Could it be that I don’t wanna hurt you anymore?
Could it be that we don’t have what it takes?
Take it away ‘cause I don’t like this anymore
Take it away and throw it away
