FACEBOOK for the mature market.
A 103-year old English woman,
Lillian Lowe, is the world’s oldest
Facebook member.
Just shy of her 104th birthday,
Lowe told reporters that she uses
the social media site to keep up
with her seven grandchildren and
13 great-grandchildren.
Responding to questions over
the potential to view, what some
in her own generation, may
consider “shocking” content Lowe
said “I have seen a few things
over the years, so nothing really
shocks me these days anyway.”
Lowe checks in on the kids via
her grandson’s iPad every few
days, but is hoping this festive
season to get one of her own.
She also isn’t shy about spruiking
the benefits of Facebook to
grandparents and great-grandparents
alike, saying it is a good way to
keep in touch with kids without
having to call all the time.
NOW that’s a multiple birth!
A Rhodesian Ridgeback in
Germany has given birth to a litter
of 17 puppies, all of which survived.
The eight female and nine male
pups were all born naturally
over an excruciating 26 hour period.
The dog’s excited, but
exhausted nanny (a.k.a owner,
Ramona Wegemann) spent four
weeks on a constant cycle of
bottle feeding the pups, only
sleeping for a few minutes here
and there, in order to ensure the
tiny puppies survival.
“When I stopped feeding the
last puppy, the first was hungry
again,” said Wegemann an
animal psychiatrist.
The puppies now occupy prime
position in Wegemann’s living room,
whilst they await to be re-homed.
Wegemann has said she would
like to give the pups to families
rather than to a breeder.
