  HaruspicyHaruspicy is a method of divination that involves the examination of animal entrails, especially the livers of sacrificed sheep and poultry. A priest who practices this form of divination is known as a haruspex. The technique is thought to have originated in the Near East with the Hittites and Babylonians. It later spread with the Etruscans to the Roman Empire, where it became so popular that a college was opened to preserve the practice. What did haruspices believe the entrails could tell them?

 American Colonies Declare Independence (1776)On June 11, 1776, one year into the American Revolution, Thomas Jefferson and other delegates of the Continental Congress began drafting a formal declaration of their intent to form a new nation. Their final draft of the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Congress on July 4, a date that would become a national holiday. Most of the congressional delegates signed it that August.

This is one of the most adorable dogs I've ever seen. I can believe how small 'toria looks, now!

This made me giggle. What a sweetheart. What does Muncie think of her?
It's good she is laid back. She makes up for Victoria who is a bit more high strung.
What a sweet belly! Those pictures are so cute that they almost conjure up that puppy smell for me when I look at them. We have a doggie visitor at our zoo today - and I was hoping people would post their dogs after last week's cat posts. So glad to see yours. Sadie is adorable!
aaaawwwwww!
now i want one!
Sophie isn't going to be able to hold her on her lap for very much longer. I think laid back puppies are a good thing.

Cutie! I like laid back dogs - there isn't much you can do when a dog (young ones, especially) need a nap. It's like they've been drugged or something.
