Home Doggy Home

By jade!

Dog kennels and houses are usually pretty boring, just a wooden box with some blankets for outside dogs to hide away in at night and when it’s raining.

But just like some people have pretty fancy houses, some dogs do too! Check out these dog houses that look good enough for humans to move into!

Mechanical energy

n the physical sciences, mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and 
kinetic energy. It is theenergy associated with the motion and position of an object.



 In the physical sciences, mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that in an isolated system that is only subject to conservative forces the mechanical energy is constant. If an object is moved in the opposite direction of a conservative net force, the potential energy will increase and if the speed (not the velocity) of the object is changed, the kinetic energy of the object is changed as well.


 In all real systems, however, non-conservative forces, like frictional forces, will be present, but often they are of negligible values and the mechanical energy's being constant can therefore be a useful approximation. In elastic collisions, the mechanical energy is conserved but in inelastic collisions, some mechanical energy is converted into heat. The equivalence between lost mechanical energy (dissipation) and an increase in temperature was discovered by James Prescott Joule.

Many modern devices, such as the electric motor or the steam engine, are used today to convert mechanical energy into other forms of energy, e.g. electrical energy, or to convert other forms of energy, like heat, into mechanical energy.

Welcome to the Rat Pack A man in Germany has been found living with around 300 rats in his two bedroom flat!

Animal services responded to a call for help from the man who told them he could no longer care for his 20 pet rats. However when they arrived at the flat, they found a lot more than 20!

Animal control found nests of hungry rat babies in drawers, behind cabinets and in the bed frame. The entire apartment was covered in straw and sawdust, with food bowl laid out on the floor.

The animal shelter could only house 20 of the rats, so the remainder will be kept and fed in the flat until new owners and homes can be found for them.

Check out the pictures below of what animal services discovered in the apartment! 

Ben’s Special Swims

Most days this Labrador named Ben can be found swimming out into the harbour to meet his special friend… a dolphin named Duggie!

The people of Ben’s small Irish town were amazed after discovering the local hotel’s Labrador’s daily routine and now people always come to watch the special friends play and to make sure Ben doesn’t drown out in the deep water.

Duggie and Ben swim around and play together before Duggie returns out into the ocean. A few times Ben stayed out in the water too long and struggled to get back to shore but was quickly helped back in by Duggie.

World’s Largest Swimming Pool

The San Alfonso del Mar resort in Chile is home to a pretty awesome swimming pool, in fact it has the largest pool in the world!

It took 5 years to build this 1013 m pool – which is the length of 20 Olympic-size swimming pools!

Set on the beachfront, the pool draws salt water from the sea and is filled with 66 million gallons of crystal clear water.

It cost more than $4 million NZ dollars to build. The pool is so large that you can sail boats in it!

You can also sail water skies!
