PETS TIME

Close encounters with pets of the third kind, with reasonably good results

And some with questionable results

A GREAT LADY AND MUCH MORE - MARGHERITA HACK

Sole and I and many of our friends (not to speak of our tiny companions) loved her.

"ROME (AP) — Margherita Hack, an astrophysicist who explained her research on the stars in plain language for the public and who championed civil rights in her native Italy, has died. She was 91.

President Giorgio Napolitano’s condolence message hailed her as a ‘‘high-level personality’’ in the scientific world and praised her ‘‘civil passion.’’ The Italian news agency ANSA quoted family friend Marinella Chirico as saying Hack died in a hospital in Trieste after being treated for heart problems.

Hack long headed an astronomical observatory in Trieste and was a popular commentator in Italian media about discoveries in astronomy and physics. An atheist who decried Vatican influence on Italian politicians, Hack helped fight a successful battle to legalize abortion. She unsuccessfully lobbied for legalized euthanasia and also championed gay rights and animal protection.

THE PROUD REDHEAD - ONE YEAR

One year already without her.
Without her smile, sometimes sweet, sometimes mischievous.

Without her voice with that so special French accent.
Without her innate elegance, in casual as well as in formal wear.

Without her humour and her joie de vivre.
Without her enthusiasm for whatever project she chose to develop and complete.
Without her friendship.
The following is a short clip for the beautiful person she was.

A special thought goes to her Captain

TRAINING

A most appealing job

PETS TIME: BUNNIES

Sole loved these cute, funny, tender little beings. 

She has one of them as companion, by the name of Boris; a totally black, courageous tiny bunny. 

She often said he had a lion's heart, compared to the normally shy nature of rabbits.
