Beautiful horses in beautiful backgrounds…
I haven’t looked at the link yet but that happy pup’s face made my mood at least 12% better already.
The links are great. Yissssss cat was too funny.
But, query… aren’t robin’s eggs blue?
I wondered about that, so I looked it up. American robins’ eggs are blue. European robins’ eggs are “whitish, creamy, or buff, and are often speckled or splotched with reddish-brown flecks,” according to https://www.thespruce.com/european-robin-profile-387247. So now we’ve both learned something new!
Took some googling but I just found that the European robin “lays pale cream or buff eggs with reddish speckles.”
(oops, R&B’s Mom beat me to it.)
Ever wonder whether we were separated at birth? 😉
lol
Thanks to both of you R&B and Allein! I had no idea this was the case. I was so sure there was a bird ID error that I didn’t even Google it 😁!
As I remember your eyes were bluer than robin’s eggs
As opposed to the slightly reddish bloodshot tinge of these robin’s eggs! 😁
Nice robin story but I’m stuck at his boots were stored in the tree?
Yeah, that part was weird…
Obviously it was a boot-tree.
Boot-tree LOL!!
OF COURSE! Slaps forehead.
I have one of those cat scratch things on my wall, at shoulder blade height. Soooooooooooo nice. I think my face looks like yissss kitty.
Oooh, such a good idea. I might need run with this idea at my house. Often I get itches I just can’t reach and have to resort to using a hairbrush. My face probably also looks like kitty – ahhhhh relief.
Every single picture above made me squee. Then I actually clicked on the links and my hed exploded.
Note to self: visit Iceland ASAP. Those photos are fantastic.
Rock hyraxes are amazing jumpers. At least when they’re adults.
Yiss kitty has it made. If I put those scritchie things on every door jamb in my house, I wouldn’t have black marks where the kitties rub their faces constantly.
I found that those “magic eraser sponges” are the best thing to easily take out those black mark from door jams in seconds.
Yes, I use them for everything. But removing the marks from the door jambs would require too much effort! I can just cover them up with scritchers, instead!
I do the same thing with wee-wee pads; put them where the dog has decided to take care of business.
Okay, I see no blubber on those Icelandic horses. How in the heck are they able to stand in below freezing water?! I like the very cold, but those pics made even ME shiver.
❄️❄️Brrr!
The hyrax video was cute but waaaay too short!☹️
There are some very cute pets in that photo gallery. Some funny too. The dog in the above pic needs to be a meme!
