Beautiful horses in beautiful backgrounds…
I haven’t looked at the link yet but that happy pup’s face made my mood at least 12% better already.
The links are great. Yissssss cat was too funny.
But, query… aren’t robin’s eggs blue?
I wondered about that, so I looked it up. American robins’ eggs are blue. European robins’ eggs are “whitish, creamy, or buff, and are often speckled or splotched with reddish-brown flecks,” according to https://www.thespruce.com/european-robin-profile-387247. So now we’ve both learned something new!
Took some googling but I just found that the European robin “lays pale cream or buff eggs with reddish speckles.”
(oops, R&B’s Mom beat me to it.)
Ever wonder whether we were separated at birth? ๐
lol
Thanks to both of you R&B and Allein! I had no idea this was the case. I was so sure there was a bird ID error that I didn’t even Google it ๐!
As I remember your eyes were bluer than robin’s eggs
As opposed to the slightly reddish bloodshot tinge of these robin’s eggs! ๐
Nice robin story but I’m stuck at his boots were stored in the tree?
Yeah, that part was weird…
Obviously it was a boot-tree.
Boot-tree LOL!!
OF COURSE! Slaps forehead.
I have one of those cat scratch things on my wall, at shoulder blade height. Soooooooooooo nice. I think my face looks like yissss kitty.
Oooh, such a good idea. I might need run with this idea at my house. Often I get itches I just canโt reach and have to resort to using a hairbrush. My face probably also looks like kitty – ahhhhh relief.
Every single picture above made me squee. Then I actually clicked on the links and my hed exploded.
Note to self: visit Iceland ASAP. Those photos are fantastic.
Rock hyraxes are amazing jumpers. At least when they’re adults.
Yiss kitty has it made. If I put those scritchie things on every door jamb in my house, I wouldn’t have black marks where the kitties rub their faces constantly.
I found that those “magic eraser sponges” are the best thing to easily take out those black mark from door jams in seconds.
Yes, I use them for everything. But removing the marks from the door jambs would require too much effort! I can just cover them up with scritchers, instead!
I do the same thing with wee-wee pads; put them where the dog has decided to take care of business.
Okay, I see no blubber on those Icelandic horses. How in the heck are they able to stand in below freezing water?! I like the very cold, but those pics made even ME shiver.
โ๏ธโ๏ธBrrr!
The hyrax video was cute but waaaay too short!โน๏ธ
There are some very cute pets in that photo gallery. Some funny too. The dog in the above pic needs to be a meme!
