The following photo is my own, which I took with my cellphone. You can click on the image to see a larger view. These are two wallets that I purchased from Dollarama, they are just $2 each! They close with velcro. I don't like large wallets (or anything large if it is not necessary), so I am very happy with these! :)

Here are a few YouTube channel recommendations which I hope you will enjoy! 

1. Sitting with Dogs 

Rocky Kanaka is a very nice gentleman who regularly helps out at rescue shelters. He and his wife Kelly are a lovely couple who do their best to help animals. You will see Rocky going into the enclosure with dogs who are nervous, terrified or sad. He sits with them in an attempt to earn their trust and to make them feel comfortable, showing the dog that not all people are bad and/or to be feared. If you love dogs, you are going to love these videos!

2. EarthCam Live: - Abbey Road Crossing (London, England)

This is a live video situated at Abbey Road Crossing in London, England. You can see what is happening here in real time.

3. Live Jelly Cam - Monterey Bay Aquarium

You can watch jellyfish swimming in real time. I find this to be beautiful and relaxing. 

The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French), done in Europe! Yes, this group has been known to travel to different countries from here in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, to do their gags. Although most of these gags are done here in Montreal, this particular one was done in Europe. Enjoy!  :)
