Links: Weights and Pleasures


How animals get weighed, Hulk get kitten, bears on the slide, and Lord of Watermelons.

And finally: Brain Freeze!

Cat tries some ice-cream

    Such clever ways to weigh these animals. As for weighing me, forget about it! I’ll pass on the watermelon while angry cat is on duty. The bear cubs were having fun on the slide just like hoomin kids. And that cat’s reaction to ice cream is priceless – drama queen much? I wonder if it ended up liking it or avoids it?

    I say this every time, but these really ARE the best links! I share the Buzzfeed reporter’s obsession with Mark Ruffalo. Laughed myself silly over Pearl and brainfreeze cat! Next time I get on the scales, I’m bringing a cat.

    The slide probably gave mama bear the only minute of peace she’d had all day. Those babies were too cute.
    Kitty with the ice cream (or tofu) – oh my! What a hilarious reaction. 😂Well, whatever it was it definitely wasn’t toona.

    The giraffe pic always cracks me up.

    As does the baby zebra in the process of kicking the handler in the family jewels.

    My long-gone and sorely missed Terence used to watch me eat ice cream, knowing he’d get to lick the spoon at the end. Sometimes if he got impatient, he’d reach a paw out toward the spoon. He never got brain freeze, though.

    Ha ha 🤣🤣🤣… someone suggesting that kitty was tasting tofu rather than ice cream! (I really don’t have anything against tofu, I quite like it, but the humor!!)

    Cute, cute links today. Fuzzy toddlers on the playset are unbearably adorable. Did anyone else notice that momma looks like she has a tracking collar on?? I’ll have to remember some of the weighing tricks for the next time I have foster kittens. Trying to keep them on the scale was like trying to weigh a cross between a slinky and water, you needed to be an octopus to stop them from wriggling all over the place.

      Just one of many of life’s little challenges that can be solved through judicious application of jujitsu.

    Semi-off topic: hubby just called. He was escorting a mother duck and twelve recently hatched yellow fuzzlings through the parking lot and down to the lake. He said he’d try to get pictures, but there was a lot of fuzz and movement.

      Awesome Duckie! How nice for hubby!

      “A lot of fuzz and movement.” Love it.

    I’ll have a bucket of puppy and the whole baby Zebra. Curbside pickup, thank you.
