:eek: There are no words. CUTE!!!!!!

The office bun is my favorite.

It has nothing to do with the breed. It has to do with the fact that dog outweighs the baby at least 5:1 and could easily wrap his/her jaws around the babies head.

I lurve the evil hedgehog!

You all know I'm a little bit proud of the place I work. :D

Rarely have I been as proud of the zoo as last week. Mikhail, a ten-year-old amur tiger, was in for a routine medical exam.

Not often you see Carmen Miranda upstaged by a cute little dog!

I came home from meetings today, and Lucy was being super cute...

She looks thoroughly content and adorable too!

Ethel, doing what she does best- sleeping

Johnny the Cat...

Kitty!

Looks like he's trying not to laugh!

The girls at Lake Balboa

Ok... That's seriously cute! :)

A current picture of Pixel.



A ferocious (or yawning) picture of Pixel:

This demanded LOLing...

I've been watching that video over and over since it showed up there. Makes me laugh every time.

A friend in her Easter Costume.

The video has slipped down that page. Here's a direct link

That is a look of total embarrassment!

Whoever did that should be shot

Baby Deer as a housepet

How sweet!

I was thinking moreso 'thats a really bad idea'

I could only watch (can't do audio here at work), so I didn't get the whole story, but I gotta agree with the Capt on this one.

Meet Dave. He discovered snow.

yeah...he seems ok with it

:D

Visible SnowPug mojo!

I saw that on the news this morning. So funny. Poor doggie hitting the wall and all - but dang - he was really getting whatever it was he was getting.

This is one I'll want to see again and again. :D

Best Clip Ever !! I want to pet a tiger too !

Why yes, Snowflake. Venison is one of the sweeter meats ! MMMmmm Mm. I'd love one right now. :evil:

That would be funnier if it weren't so damned true

This is Honey.
She need a caption.

Call may agent, dahlink!

OMG I love this picture!

Awww, it look like someone velcroed a little stuffed anteater to the big one. Cute!

Keepers take some of the elephants out for walks in the morning before the zoo opens. They visit friends....

That's really cool! I swear the elephant is smiling.

Elephant and Seal Friends!!! I could die of whole world harmony. :D What a cool idea for the animals to visit each other.

Elephants do look really smiley, which is surely one reason they are so lovable. Unfortunately, they even look smiley when they are being mistreated or exploited - a built in hazard of their natural physiognomy and our human tendency to anthropomorphize. ("See? He LIKES hauling timber!") That said, walking baby elephants around to visit with sea lions sounds like one of the best jobs imaginable. (I envy Ozron.)

I needed a break after the day I've been having.... it definitely helped!

Emmy used to be that tiny and cute and sweet.

Now she's huge, dark, and beyond evil.

We should be safe, they aren't blowing bubbles. :evil:

That is one happy hippo.

That hippo is totally looking at the camera. "Ooh, you like to watch? I'll show you something, alright..."

I've had the privilege of seeing live hippo sex a number of times. (If you show up bright and early in the morning to the Pangani Forest Trail at Disney's Animal Kingdom, you stand a pretty good chance of enjoying some hippo-rotica as well.)

Gwaaaaaahhhhh I finally broke down and opened this thread!

I'm about to squee and I'm not sure if that's appropriate this early in the morning.

One of our dragon enclosures is in our bedroom. That one has a couple in it. We quite often get to watch them mate (whether we want to or not).

I knew that dragons have two 'boy parts', but was never quite sure how the logistics of things worked until recently. It was actually rather impressive. Only one is used at a time, but how it does the job is what was interesting.

Ok, we need a house so I can have a pet miniature cow:

Err, I hope you expect to have a barn with that house. Something tells me they don't exactly leave, say, the equivalent of bunny pellets.

I've decided I want chickens again. I had them growing up but I want them again.

Don't worry, I'm not getting any....yet.

Sounds like we need to stage an intervention.

didnt Jack in the Box do a commercial recently concerning mini-cattle with their slider burgers? something about cattle the size of schnauzers?

not that it has anything to do with anything, but the pics reminded me of it

I don't want chickens. I want genetically mutated chicks that never grow up. Cute and fuzzy fo-evah!

Yeah, I love young fuzzy chicks too!

Cute, yes, but I want fresh eggs.

Consider me worried

*sigh*

I miss Chicken...

I miss picking out chicken for dinner.

Not really.

But I learned really quickly not to give any of them names.

Yeah, we had chickens (in the city) when I was growing up. My step-dad had trouble bringing himself to actually slaughter them so he let them get older and bigger than they should have been to actually taste very good. Then he finally did it and my mom and sisters couldn't bring themselves to eat them anyway so it ended up being a huge waste. Unsurprisingly I was unbothered by it all and just didn't think they tasted good (seriously, huge semi-old chickens do not taste good).

And eggs were great at first. Until you realize that even with a family of five eating a half dozen eggs day in and day out, rain or shine, just isn't going to happen.

So eventually we'd get behind on the eggs and the raccoons would kill the chickens to get at the eggs.

But they were fun.

That doesn't surprise me in the least.

TINY kitty

Annoying music but worth it for the mew

I'm getting a video camera soon and I just happen to have 7 new born kittens at my disposal.

What happened to the rest of the kitties legs? He's got cute widdle half legs.

We figured it was a birth defect. But it doesn't appeared to have had any impact on the kitteh

Are there "toy" breeds of cats? I can see how a kitten-looking ye full grown cat would be very popular, but I have never seen or heard of such a thing.

Those are probably "munchkin" cats, which are a special breed known for their short legs. Sadly, they can not jump like regular cats, so they are not good to have around other cats, because they've been known to get complexes as to why they can't do "normal" things like their housemates. They can seriously get depressed.

I had insomnia last night, so I was in the office until very late at night. When I finally decided I was tired enough to sleep, I went into the bedroom and this is what I found:






Thurston is NOT a dog at all, he's just a little human man in wrinkly clothes.

I love me some Thurston!!! :snap:

That is insanely cute NA!

So, where did YOU sleep?

In my house, in similar situations, I admire how cute the kittie looks, maybe take a picture or two, then throw them on the floor.

I love how his wrinkles match the wrinkles in the sheets. :D Adorable. Poor guy though, you're using a flash!

He slept right through most of ths picture taking, cracking his eyes just a bit after a couple of flashes. When he's out, he's OUT (sort of like Chris).

When I went to bed, I just moved him over a bit and spooned with him. He really is just a little man.

Terminal cuteness!

Heh, that looks a bit like Tango, she uses her feet to push me away and off the bed as much as she can. Little creep, how I doth love her.

OMG!

the little guy looks less than thrilled

Glad to see you're horrified too.

At least that is the tone in which I choose to read your OMG.

You can clean your eyes out with this:

Oh no! The cute dogs have been turned into heartless!! :eek:

And AWE!! So cute!

Someone should be drawn and quartered for this

I don't blame him

Please; do not encourage this kind of behavior!

Ha ha. You can't get me. They block Flickr at work now so the picture doesn't show up.

To think, we've thoroughly anthropomorphized our animals just so that they can be properly humiliated.

Amen brutha, aaamen!

Most people save such horrific outfits for their offspring. Those that don't have children torture animals instead.

Our animals are our children. :)

However, their daddy still won't let me dress them up. :(

Goddess bless Ken!

Although, I do have a little hat that would look SO cute on one of the dragons, at least for a photo-op. ;)

Wizard of Oz

I had to do it.

I have to add, major snaps to the person who created the costumes. Instantly recognizable, instantly iconic. I sent the original jpeg to an Oz nut friend of mine who howled like mad and called me to laugh some more.

How freakin adorable well the costumes not the doggies though. The looks on their faces. Of course when i said i would dress Lucy and Ethel up like that CM replied back to me lol...

But Lucy has more clothes than i know what to do with now. Ethel has some sweaters and jackets but Lucy has tshirts as well as sweaters and jackets and she even has a sundress outfit.

I so need to get them bathing suits and PetSmart now has the little pools again for $8 for summer. So i need to get the pool for them and then swimsuits. :)

REQUEST DENIED.

Ok. That's it!

I'm forming The Wives for Cute Pet Attire Association.

No close-minded husbands allowed. :p

And us husbands (and others with taste and common sense) will form our own club.

:p



:p :p

Agreed, but he looks resigned.

In addition to the obvious WHY factor, what strikes me is just how different two dogs who should look practically alike, actually do look from one another. Their faces are so expressive! Neither one is saying anything good, though.

Another sad thing about this photo is that my son did not recognize the flying monkeys! I am a failure. I know I have that DVD around here somewhere. Sheesh. That can't stand. He should join the ranks of every other kid who was freaked out by the monkeys swooping down out of the dark sky.

I actually have become quite fond of dogs in outfits. I've seen some gret outfits and I don't know why people are so repulsed by it. Thurston dressed the part of our Bolllywood party and he was my Gravedigger for Halloween. He doesn't wear clothes most of the time unless he needs them for protection - ie: cold, rain or heat.

Flying Monkeys! - that's awesome!
Of course if we could raise real flying monkeys there'd be no reason to dress the dogs up as such - that and laws preventing one from keeping children and midgets as pets.

Small dogs get clothes for a reason. During cold snaps Barnum actually wants his sweater to go outside. Not so much here in CA as in Vegas and Dallas, of course, but it does happen.

And as long as we need to dress them up, why not in cute stuff? (From someone who would TOTALLY make the flying monkey outfit if I had anywhere near the skill.

Cindy so would i. Lucy and Ethel would look adorable as flying monkeys. Gives me an idea for Halloween costume for them both lol...

Lucy gets cold rather easily more than Ethel does so for her sweaters and jackets in the winter are a must when visiting my parents especially. In the summer only thing i put on her to look cute is her sundress. :)

PetSmart has the doggie pool yet again> its just a kiddie pool for $8. I'm definitely going to get one and then get them bathing suits lol...for the fun of course....lol

Lucy likes to wear my build a bear outfits for my animals. :) She lets me put them on her.

It's the non consensual element that seems so wrong. Even if they're okay with the physical act of wearing the clothes, they can't possibly have a say in the costuming aspect and that just seems so demeaning to me.

I would dress Lucy in my build a bear outfits and she'd go prancing out to show daddy what she's wearing proudly at that. If she didn't like it she would give me a hard time or act out or something. But she doesn't. Now Ethel on the other hand could care less.

It's not the outfits so much as the looks on the pet's faces. People who love pets know that they can tell when their pets are happy or sad. Some pets love wearing clothes, and it's obvious by their expression (and stance and attitude), but others do not.

When I see a sad pet, it's a bummer, no matter how adorable the clothes.

The dogs in questions are Bostons. They always look like that.

I'm not going to attempt to tell a petsitter and owner of a dozen animals what is and isn't a happy dog, or debate whether you can tell no matter what the breed is.

I'd have to agree in this one - this is just a photo, and on second look, because their ears are covered and they are sitting, looking up at the camera, it can be hard to tell whether they are happy or sad.

I will maintain, however, that if I am around a dog and they are wearing clothes, I can tell whether they are happy or sad about it. Thurston seems to not mind, or sometimes even enjoy it, which is why I have no problem with him walking around looking adorable.

We once had a friend who liked to put hats on his dog. The dog always whined pathetically and then took it off at the first possible chance. The owner kept putting it back on and scolding the dog for "bad behavior". It was a sad sight.

As someone who has put funny things on my rabbit to take a photo, and picked them up when they don't want to be, and continues to do such things - it's all part of pet ownership, and I totally dig that. Much the same way that Greg likes to tickle me or otherwise bug me. It's funny for a bit and then it's really annoying so he stops (or I seriously injure him).

I picked up Lito last night and held her for a bit. When she got too squirmy I went to put her down and she totally kicked me in the stomach. A rabbit can really hurt you, and herself, if she's pissed off. She then did what we call "pissed off kicks" as she ran back into her cage, which is a blatantly obvious way of saying she was mad at me. Yet I continue to pick her up every now and then, but not too often nor for too long, as a compromise between the cuddling I want and the freedom she wants.

The caveat is that I don't want to make her unhappy for very long, which is why in my view, costumes that strap on and stay on for hours should be on pets that enjoy it. In that case, they really are cute. :)

I don't care if the dog thinks it looks cute (though I doubt a dog is capable of such thoughts). It thinking -- by humans -- that animals wearing clothes is cute, that is completely foreign to me.

But so long as you aren't causing harm to the animal, it ultimately is none of my business what you do in the privacy of your bedroom, so to speak.

Though any canine/feline that is claimed to require clothing when outdoors in Southern California climates is an animal that should never have been bred into its crippled existence.

oh...crap. really?

since when?

:eek:

The socialization process of a pet is a difficult balance. You want to get them used to be touched, held, petted whatever but you don't want to get to the point where they have a negative view of being touched. It takes time and gentle awareness. We are going through this with Petra right now. She was probably completely feral when we found her on the road at 8 weeks. Although she was easy to handle while she was hurt, he became more feral n behavior again as she got well. She was VERY skitzy and has taken a LOT of work together somewhat socialized. Sh still doesn't like being touched too much, but we've been able to touch her for longer periods of time when we associate the touching with other things she likes such a playing her favorite games. She will never be cuddly, but she has already come a long way.

Cat in China grows a pair of wings
Feline was born normal but developed appendages at age 1, family says

The Story

According to that article, "Back in August 2008 [...] tomcats in China's Sichuan province developed wing-like growths on their backs." WTF are they feeding/doing to their cats in China!?!

Developing a new surprise-attack feline as part of their plot to take over the world.

What do cat wings taste like?

Cat.

Heehee.

If you just put the usual zesty red sauce on there, you can call them Buffalo wings.

Was it that story that linked to lots of deformed animals pictures? My coworker showed me a bunch today. One was an especially freaky cyclops cat. :(

D'oh! Why is your (presumably adorable) rabbit video freezing up on me? I can hear the radio playing in the background, but the picture doesn't move, though it will refresh to a different still frame if I move the player offscreen and back.

I hope to have plenty of cute animal photo pics from Busch Gardens/Sea World/Animal Kingdom this next week and a half.

(Oh... "sh" is spelled "si" in Welsh. Is that any better for you? ;) )

Umm, am I watching a video of a hamster's disproportionately large nutsack? Dear god I am.

Are hamster cojones normally that big?

Google says yes.

As do rats, as Dimitri Martin discovered for one of his bits on his show.

I've had many male pet rodents, and every one of them were rather, um... impressive.

I had to have my first pet mouse neutered though, because he sprayed like crazy and it would stink up the entire house, even with daily cage cleaning. The vet laughed since it was her first ever mouse neuter, but it worked! But all other male rodents I've had never had that problem. Mickey was apparently just very stinky and horny.

I like the comment by user DaveDrave: This vid should be called "Hamster uses his massive balls as a pillow" or "Balls with sleepy hamster hanging off them" :D

Okay, these aren't "cute", but I do think they're beautiful.

Hey Lisa !! If you ever rescue any lil pugs, Thurston can take them for a walk.

Oh, I could have a bunch of little pugs too.

I think maybe this requires an intervention.

OMG! I feel almost normal!

Cats shouldn't be on the kitchen counters.

Though with cheetahs I suppose you have to pick your battles.

Also, Lani will have to approve but I'll tentatively offer up Pixel as trade for two cheetahs.

The hard part is finding a big enough litter box.

Also, training them to not attack your toes under the sheet when you get into bed. That game grows less fun.

You'll probably also look back fondly on when all you had to worry about was an eviscerated mouse or bird on your livingroom floor.

I want Cheetos!

I want a cheetah with cheetos?

Cheetos is the game Cheetahs play with your toes under the blanket when you're getting into bed.

Awww... cute little dreaming hamster.

Sleeping jaguar time.

Kitty!

These albino animals are pretty. The peacock is particularly resplendent.

Thanks for the comments on the Jaguar. In keeping with the theme, here is a sleeping Red Panda.



I took both pictures at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, WA.

They forgot the albino pug:

And of course the albino rabbit

OMG, I'm looking on Etsy and I find this:

Would an Albino Blue Crab still be considered a Blue Crab?

Okay...someone needs to be shot for that.

The poor pug's expression looks like one of the models in this thread!

That's a pretty normal pug expression.

I know... But after having just looked at those pictures again, and then seeing this, I was giggling at the similarity.

I can't see how a lack of pigmentation would change one's genus & phylum, so I'm gonna say yes. ;)

I went to JC with a guy who was an albino "Black". His hair form (though definitely not color) and facial features were classic "African American" but he was whiter than I am.

Yes, it is a world weary expression of "I just know someone is going to be a long to make me wear silly outfits any minute now..."

You and some albino African-American visited Jesus Christ?

I want whatever you were on that day!

Samudra update
 

At ten months old, Sam just passed the 1200 lb mark.

Here he is Wednesday morning in the pool with Auntie Chendra:

Poor guy didn't make it. He had a collapsed trachea and it worsened to the point that he couldn't breath. His last weeks were spend getting love from his foster mom in rescue. I'm so glad his last days wern't in the nasty shelter.

:(

oh puppy. :(

:( At least he had love.

Cat and Man swap roles

The cat putting his paw on the guy is so damn cute.

I have several cute scenes going on at my house right now that I can't photograph. I have a sleeping baby raccoon in the tree outside our nook. He keeps making chortling sounds. I also have 27 baby plecos that I can't seem to photograph. You'll all just have to use your imaginations.

Turn off all lights except the tank. Put the camera on a tripod, turn the ISO up, go into shutter priority mode and speed the shutter up. Play around with shutter speed, and the EV adjustment until you get a clear shot.

Fun video! Our Nala does this ALL the time, especially with Ken. If he even stops petting for a second, she starts grabbing at him. She'll even wrap both paws around his wrist and pull her hand to him. It's cute. :)

Well, I followed GD's directions, but fish aren't the easiest subjects to capture. But, I did get a few really good one - and an whole album because, without it, you can't really get any perspective.

I have a new theory, known as Thurston's Law. Thurston is always the cutest animal in any photo.





No, we're never getting pics of him with our bunnies ;)

OMG SO SAD AND CUTE!!!

Awwww, poor baby puggie!

I was looking for a photo for a completely different reason and I found this;

Kitteh gets some monkey love
 

Wow, that was both cute and deeply disturbing all at the same time! :)

Thurston and Trixie act like that at times only it is Trixie that loves on Thurston. She loves her brudder.

Are we talking a Riff & Magenter* kind of love?


*one who magents

It's alllll about furmiliation
 

A 1920's-style cloche flatters all face shapes, n'est-ce pas?

Very chic!

We had another fun afternoon at the beach with our girls yesterday...

Kitty and fly

Not a photo but very cute. I love how his little but wiggles under the newspaper.

Ahh, yes. I'm very familiar with this little activity.

Oh! bun bun. Tiny little bun bun.

Kungfu squirrel, ftw!

This is the pug we rescued today now known to me as Burbank Fats. Why Burbank Fats? Well, he weighs in at 43 pounds!!!!!! The black pug in the picture is 18. He's at his Temporary Foster's until Sunday, when he will be transported to San Diego Pug Rescue:



Compare to 18 pounds!







More pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/1552684...7621833983833/

It looks like Fats pooped the black one out.

Even though you can actually hear me laughing, I wish I could mojo you for this.

Panda Gives Birth To Her 5th Cub At San Diego Zoo
It's not gross. Honestly.

Wow, that little panda is noisy. Sounds kind of like a dog's squeaky toy.

Here's Petunia -

ohmygawdlookatthatpuppy!

Petunia is a cutie!

Pug Shot


Muscles

I can't wait to meet Petunia on Sunday!!!!

Cute !!! I met the mama (not too close up, but still) so I feel really proud of her !


In Puggy news: Matt, how's Lucy & Ethel getting on with Petunia?

Ethel, Petunia and I sat on the couch and watched The Lion King tonight.

Lucy sulked atop her pile of stuffed animals.

They're getting along ok.

The cats were AWOL for most of the day.

I am in love with Petunia!

This is adorable! A tiny lil' kitteh attacks a baby play "gym".

I don't know; to me the tag line should read "I just pooted"

I thought I had seen that picture before.

Sure, it's cute. Until you realize s/he's offering you a snack.

from seriouseats.com

Very cute, and a good job on the motion...though any rabbit owner knows that the ears don't wiggle like that ;)

This is a video not a photo. Maybe it should be in the YouTube thread?

Wow, what a fantastic show, beginning to end! So adorable.

Puppy Power!

I loved that the dogs weren't "perfect" in their routine.

Some of the imperfection was rehearsed for comedic effect, but not all.

I realize that. But I'm pretty sure some of the "early entrances" weren't.

Puppies Dressed as Cats
from Conan last night

Adorable, but I've gotta agree with Conan when he says, "For the love of God, turn off that music."

How cute is this chimp that takes care of "little big cats" like this puma?



link has several more adorable pics

This is how I found Ethel this morning...

Ha ha. You can see her Caesarian scar.

Adowable wabbit!

Maybe this goes in the youtube thread. In any case, The Orangutan and the Hound will make your day.

Attachment 1242

I emailed today to get a progress report:

More pics coming tomorrow.

I want Louie! He be so kyooote!

Adorable!

I like the bunnies. But the pygmy hippo is WAAAY cuter.

Finally, an animal costume I actually like...

Here's one I want to see.



Kawa-EEEEEEK!

Looks like a trend.

We once scared the hell out of Thurston with an inflatable shark.

Perhaps if Kim Chi wore the outfit...:evil:

Check out this article about the Parade. See anyone cute?

Well the image is a little small so it's hard to be certain, but yeah, she does look cute.

Haha, how fabulous!

Site's down :(

omg omg omg omg omg.

Hilariously kyoote!

Is that a hedgehog?

No. It is Nose-feratu!

Hamster + pencil = adorable fail (that would be a failure that is adorable, not a failure to be adorable).

This must be crossposted. Auto-tune kittehs.

Cute! With us though, it's the other way around ;)

It sticks its tongue out of its butt?

No, first your bunny...oh never mind :p

So cute !! Love the nose close-up.

Lucy, or Ethel?

The one up close is Lucy- I call that pic "Waking Up At Our House"

Next up, we've got Jovi Girl atop her kitty tree

Johnny - Roaring at the world.

My, what a fierce pussy ! :D

Oh dear. A rabbit fashion show in Japan.

I'll bet he's pupular* with the bitches!




*That was originally a typo, but I liked the pun so I kept it.

Suprised kitty is surprised (not to mention weapons-grade adorable)

I saw that yesterday and immediately started trying to teach my cats to do the same.

I wonder how long this trick will work with the tiny kitten in the video. Toward the end, it looked like he was getting ready to bite.

I'm not a "cat person", but that video is wonderful.

Ohmigawd GD, "weapons-grade adorable" I freaking love that phrase! I am so stealing it.

And the video was a terrific find too! :)

That video is incredibly cute, duly passed along to all my cat-friendly friends.

I had to watch that twice, it was so cute !!

Jack does this little trick! Only he's much much larger.
