Mom hovers over kittens, dogs go to work, goat breaks in, and cute sock thief, in today’s links.

And finally: Slyly Slowly Stealing Socks

    Why are there no dogs in the places I go? My family has had three funerals in the past two years and no doggies to comfort us.

    I might have to go shopping for menswear…

    The paper animals are amazing.

      I bookmarked the Etsy site for careful perusal later.

    Sock Boy looks so pleased with himself! I love how he was so careful to nibble only on the sock and not on the toesies. 😋

    If I came home and found an entire slider glass broken into a gazillion pieces, there’s no way I’d have gone in there before the police arrived. 😳 And I’d love to have overheard the phone call to the insurance company – “a what did what to your house???” 😃

    But my favorite link is helicopter kitty mom. Animals are simply the best, in so many ways. ❤

      Just as long as mama cat doesn’t bribe any admissions/athletic coaches. We don’t need another LIfetime movie.

      Are you sure though she’s not a tiger mom?

    no one is going to mention Mike’s homage to the Rocky Horror Picture Show?

    Re: dogs with real jobs, how do they get a bloodhound onto the roof of a bar? Most small, flat-roofed buildings either have a ladder or fold-down attic stairs. A big dog couldn’t climb down those (up would be hard, down impossible). I’m not being a nuffer; I take on faith that the dog’s not abused (like having to LIVE on the roof) because she’s a mascot and the customers wouldn’t tolerate it. But I do hope there’s some shade and water, and I am curious how they get a big dog like that up and down.

    Having contemplated, maybe there’s an outdoor stair? Maybe it’s a roof deck? Maybe Stella’s on her hind legs and that’s a not a low parapet, it’s a rail wall high enough for human occupancy? That would work.
