R.I.P. Thaao, believed to be the oldest Andean condor in captivity
A Connecticut zoo says an Andean condor believed to be the oldest one living in captivity has died at nearly 80 years old.
Thaao (TAY'-oh) arrived at the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport in 1993 after living most of his life at the Pittsburgh Zoo. He was the only endangered animal at the zoo to be born in the wild.
A necropsy proved inconclusive.
The zoo says an Andean condor lives to about 50. The zoo believes Thaao was one of the original animals to have been tracked using a breed registry, a list of the known individual animals in a breed.
Biologists estimate that there are only a few thousand Andean condors in the wild.
Zoo director Gregg Dancho says Thaao was an ambassador for conservation and the zoo.

Driver Is Arrested in Fatal Hit and Run on Upper West Side
January 31, 2010
What began with a report of three men shoplifting over-the-counter drugs from a CVS on the Upper West Side has ended with an arrest for the hit-and-run death of one of the nation’s preeminent documentary editors, whose credits include “The Fog of War.”
The editor, Karen Schmeer, was “one of the greatest editors of her generation,” said Greg Barker, the director of “Sergio,” a documentary for which Ms. Schmeer won an editing award at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009.
Ms. Schmeer, 39, was crossing Broadway at 90th Street just before 8 p.m. on Friday when she was run down by a rented 2010 Dodge Avenger sedan, the police said. She was pronounced dead on arrival at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center.

"Boston Legal" actor dies in Wis. crash
February 2, 2010
DODGEVILLE, Wis. - An actor from the TV show "Boston Legal" has been found dead near his crashed Jeep in rural Iowa County.
The sheriff's department says 27-year-old Justin Mentell of Waukegan, Ill., was killed when his Jeep went down a steep embankment off Highway 39 near Blanchardville and hit two trees. The crash was called in at about 8:30 a.m. Monday. He was not wearing a seat belt.
Mentell portrayed attorney Garrett Wells on "Boston Legal" from 2005 to 2006. According to the film database IMDb.com, he was also Terrell in "G-Force" in 2009.
The site reports Mentell was born in Austin, Texas, graduated from Waukegan High School and was a former member of the U.S. Junior National Speedskating team.
A message left with his agent wasn't immediately returned Tuesday.

Dick McGuire, a Fixture With the Knicks for More Than Half a Century, Dies at 84
February 3, 2010
Dick McGuire, whose deft ball-handling and passing wizardry led the New York Knicks to three straight National Basketball Association finals, and who then coached and scouted for them in a Hall of Fame career that lasted more than half a century, died Wednesday in Huntington, N.Y. He was 84.
His death, at Huntington Hospital, was announced by the Knicks. He lived in nearby Dix Hills on Long Island. At his death he was a senior basketball consultant to the team and was about to leave on a scouting trip when he had an aortic aneurysm, his wife, Teri, said.

My girl Hugh died today. She was about a year and a month old. I loved this hamster, she knew my voice. In a room full of people she could follow me around. The one time she escaped I found her in bed with me under my pillow. Goodbye Hugh. Last two pics taken.

You need some pets with more longevity. Have you thought about guinea pigs? Or a mule, for that matter.

Thanks B. I think a mule would probably annoy the landlord, plus I am allergic. You might not know I used to do English show riding. I can jump horses and take them through courses.
Guinea pigs I could do. Remember I live downtown in the 5th largest city in economic north america.

Try tarantulas. A female tarantula can live up to 20 years or more while males tend to live 2 - 5 years. Its quite fun to raise a spiderling from the size of your pinky nail up to 5"- 7" leg span.

Yeah I was kidding about the mule, though they live 40 yrs or more. Guinea pigs are good for much longer than a hamster although some of them are very vocal. It is quite possible you could get a guinea pig that would be more annoying to your neighbors than a mule.
Turtles and tortoises live a long time too, though less athletic than a rodent.
I'm sorry for your loss, and am just suggesting maybe you can minimize your exposure to the hardship.

At one time I was considering Fancy Rats as a pet. They are quite intelligent and fun but have life spans of 2 - 3 years. While I have very little empathy for other people I tend to grow quite attached to dogs and I decided I couldn't handle having 3 little animals of near dog intelligence that would die that fast. http://www.martinscages.com/Martin cages are considered by many small pet owners as the best designed and constructed cages available.

@ chuck if you would like any hamster care advice I would be happy to help. But they are tricky. I have owned one who lived for 2 months and another who lived for 3 years. Its impossible to predict.
@Fiend. I think spiders are really neat but I think also that I feel a bit scared of them. I understand tarantulas can make great pets but it is not for me.
I know a few people who keep rats and they are intelligent and behave as great pets. I am considering getting a pet rat when Biscuits dies.

Also I really do appreciate the condolences from you folks about Hugh. I really appreciate it. I think some of you folks know how strongly I feel about them and if you don't know what I mean. Just think of them as therapy hamsters for me.

Drink yourself OUT of the deep dark hole. Tip a glass to your fallen homey. (Or hammy, as the case may be). Celebrate life together rather than the loss. (Yes I attended a funeral of a friend yesterday).

And another death in Burbank, former Dodger Willie Davis was found dead. I had a few of his cards, but I'm not old enough to remember his play.
