    18 puppies! *faint*

    OMG! 18 puppies, poor mommy she must have been feeding around the clock!

    In the cat adoption story they say : ” All the fly screens didn’t survive long under Sigmund’s watch, but the family had no regrets and replaced them with security screens.” PLEASE I have 5 cats, if they stand up to cats, can someone tell me what security screens are?

      My “solution” has always been scotch tape, which really wasn’t a great one. Looking online, a security screen is similar but has stronger metal wiring or a protective metal frame on it too? Looks like vendors can provide different screen patterns, some of which have more tight patterns to keep bugs out but also stronger wiring so that they don’t tear with kitty/doggy paws.

      In the US, you can get very heavy duty screening that will hold up to a big dog pawing on it. I didn’t personally believe it, until I got a new screen door for my porch that has the heavy screening.

    18 puppies: ouch…poor mama, but good job.

    Baby flamingo: OMG! Never knew the baby versions are so adorable (but the backwards knees still kind of gives me the heebie jeebies)

    Shelter cat: so adoption strategy was to be a little derpy in photos 😀

    Puffie: these might be the cutest ‘tocks to end all ‘tocks. He should own ‘tocktober.

      Those are ankles. The knees are higher and covered in feathers.

        Wait, Puffie the Chow has feathers?!?!?!?!

          Well, I don’t know that he doesn’t…

        Thanks you, Blue Footed, Booby, I was about to say the same. It helps to imagine a chicken – the thighs, the leg, and at the end of the leg is the heel/ankle. Birds feet are long and end in claws, the equivalent of toes and nails.

    The licking kitty reminds me of that dog I saw floating around Twitter that would ask to go out by licking the door. The family moved to a new house, and when dog couldn’t find The Right Door he’d just walk around licking anything door-like. They’d walk into the kitchen and find him patiently licking a cabinet. Little guy was smart enough to generalize the concept of a door, but not enough to figure out to lick the door he actually wanted opened.

    The dog I had growing up would just knock. vOv

    I have friends who are training their new setter puppy to ring a bell by the back door when he needs out. It works pretty well! Alas, their old lab isn’t interested in the bell trick. She does what they call “the eyebrows” when she looks intently at you, raising her doogie eyebrows, perhaps trying to telepathically tell you to let her go out. 🙂 it works too, but not quite as quickly as a bell.

      Our cat rings the bells that hang from the doorknobs. She learned it on her own!
