Globetrotting kitten, frog army, Li’l Bub’s DNA, and sooo many cute doggos in today’s links.
More photos from today’s lead story at Washington Post (article limit).

I am in LOVE with that little Dachshund/lab mix! The dappled ears!! *ded*

This is odd. I corrected my first message to add *ded* but it saved both versions although the first version is timestamped later than the correction. Also, it never saves my info, but now it wants to use my WordPress account. What do y’all think? Stick with N. Fritz or change to dianai16? Btw, I’m the one on the left!
Hmm, that’s a new development. I’ll check it out.
When commenting using a WordPress.com account, you should see this prompt: “You are commenting using your WordPress.com account. ( Log Out / Change )”
By clicking “Change” you will be able to change your user name and/or email address to reflect what you want to appear with your posts. (For example, I just shortened my user name.)
Ok, I clicked “change” and got my regular icon. Now let’s see if it saves the change!
Great picture– I think you shared that once, isn’t it you with your Dad? I prefer Fritz, as I whenever I see it not only do I know it’s you, but you are over in Austria– or is it Germany? I thought you were in Austria. 🙂
Yes, FKAWalden, I’m in Austria. And you have a good memory! And yay! It finally saved my info!
Nala shows the amazing power of a determined kitten.
I’ve never met a kitten who wasn’t determined! And her dad is pretty determined too. They’re both amazing.
Psst! Mike, it’s osteoPETrosis, not osteoPOrosis, that Lil Bub’s DNA is being studied for. Much rarer condition.
I love the flying goggeh!
My fault; my spelling checker didn’t recognize the correct word, and neither did I.
My spelling checker doesn’t recognize it either.
Can you really have too many frogs? (Okay, well, I guess you can.)
Doggos catching treats are hilarious.
And I agree with N. Fritz on the dapple-eared pup.
Proof positive that dogs are, in fact, angels!
And another candidate for Cutetropolis Animal Heroes calendar has been brought to our attention. I love how he made room for kitty on his bike PLUS rescued a stray puppy PLUS picks up plastic from the beach. Swoon, if I was only about 25 years younger, major sigh.
Other links are cute and that’s so interesting about Lil Bub. The nerd in me loves all that interesting DNA sciencey stuff even though I don’t understand it all and it sometimes makes my head hurt from thinking too hard, lol.
I love Mochi and his very complicated relationship with his frogs. The videos of his fwapping and slapping them around are hilarious and also oddly satisfying.
Flying angel dog is my favorite.
And I can’t help thinking I might look a lot like one of those treat catchers when I am engrossed in a movie and stuffing my face with snacks.

The angel dog stole my heart!
Traveling cat looks like she’s really enjoying herself!
I love all these links so much! The dogs catching treats had me howling. And who doesn’t love a flying corgi?! Or beautiful pups in Vilnius? Or a cat with a plague of frogs? Or a kitten traveling around the world with her new hoomin? Or Lil Bub’s scientific contributions? Mike, you chose well today.
The article about sequencing Lil’ Bub’s DNA was fascinating, and how great to learn that she has the least-severe form of that genetic condition.
Oh my goodness, I just spend the last ten minutes going through Mochi’s instagram. Too funny and cute. Am now following. (I rarely go on there but I also follow a Shetland pony whose name escapes me at the moment. Oh, and some of my friends. But they’re not nearly as cute.)
