Before we get to the picture links, Susan J. sent this story: Huge Antonov aircraft flies engine to Nunavut for stranded Swiss jet. What’s cute about it is that the passengers on the stranded jet included puppies who got the best of care while they waited (see end of article; alas, no pictures). And now…
Just pour it in! All of it! NOW!

Ziggy, the very clever dog, can put together his entire walkies ensemble in this video from Cheryl S. The next step is to teach Ziggy to walk himself.

LOL! I just sent the link to Fiona taking her first steps then I come to Cutetropolis to find out that Andrew Y. beat me to it!
I love this pic of Fiona because she looks so bossy and full of energy!
I would like to start my day with a kangaroo hug, please.

Pablo could take his sweater off, but he’d never go get it.
Good boy Zig.
And I think it looks like Fiona is eating a bubble. 🙂
I love all these stories so much! And Ziggy is a VERY good dog–what a clever boy.
He’s so smart! I’m sure he could easily also get the cleanup bags, a snack and a map, LOL.
(adding) and clearly so pampered and loved, too.
All that jiggly blorpiness (blorpity jiggliness?) on those tentative steps! So cute!
Sloth: “I’m a poodle! A poodle!”
He’s a good dog, Brent.
So much wonderfulness at all these links! Blorpular blorpiness, amazing origami, Genius and Super-Cute Ziggy, Sloth with All the Dance Moves. And Kangaroo cuddles!

And there are new kittens over at Itty Bitty Kitty Committee.
It seems unfair that when babies (of any species) are new, everyone is concerned about them gaining weight. Then-in the human species-when we’re adults, too many are concerned about losing weight. UNFAIR I say!!!
Don’t forget the link to the fascinating story about the Antonov bringing the engine for the stranded 777 in Iqaluit, Nunavut! Thank you, Susan J.
Another advantage for Ziggy’s routine is he’ll be so worn out by the time they begin the walk (from running back and forth between his owner and the storage room) that maybe he won’t pull as hard on the lead. Or maybe Ziggy has so much energy that nothing really slows him down.
