    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?

    • Ricky & Bibi's Mom December 28, 2020 / 10:01 am

      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? 😉

        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




      • Dulcie December 28, 2020 / 4:04 pm

        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?

    • allein 🐾 December 28, 2020 / 10:50 am

      Yeah, that part was weird…

      • Ricky & Bibi's Mom December 28, 2020 / 10:55 am

        Obviously it was a boot-tree.

        • Georgiana December 28, 2020 / 12:05 pm

          Boot-tree LOL!!

        • dubravkamcvmd December 28, 2020 / 2:27 pm

          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.

    • AJ December 28, 2020 / 2:37 pm

      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.

    • Georgiana December 28, 2020 / 3:19 pm

      I found that those “magic eraser sponges” are the best thing to easily take out those black mark from door jams in seconds.

      • Debg December 28, 2020 / 4:14 pm

        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!

        • Ricky & Bibi's Mom December 28, 2020 / 6:17 pm

          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!
