And finally: Pup-rito!
The secret ingredient is cuteness. (via Andrew Y.)
I, too, am an unentertained and sleepy creature today.
I was supposed to be in the office but I can’t get my car out of its spot, at least not without shoveling a big pile of snow behind my car (the rest of the car is cleared and ready to move), but there’s nowhere for me to easily put it and they can come by with their little Bobcat and sweep it all away at once. (And the car next to me, once again, has not been cleared by the next day…)
Hope this means an unexpected vacation day for you, Allein!
Nah, I’m working from home. I hear them outside now…guess I’ll have to go move my car.
But these guys got a snow day!
The otters and the seal look like they’re in heaven. I love the otters nuzzling the snow.
That was insanely cute.
I totally identify with the vicacha. Toast and her kitten! What a wonderful Mom Toast is, and the kitten certainly has good instincts – she found another mom.
Bull terrier taco looks yummy and the “filling” is clearly enjoying the process.
The viscacha looks like a sort of anti-quokka. If members of each species met they’d cancel each other out.
I volunteer to perform the experiment!
I so identify with the vicacha, my spirit animal. Wish I could have one.
Yes and yes. Love the little one with its earsies down.
Its like a sleepy or meditating Buddha. Love those little hands clasped together and those little overlapping feet.
The puprito pup seems very happy. So does Timothy the hippo–what a sweet guy! Grab him, Fiona, before someone else does! How do you get the job of feeding fruit to hippos? Asking for a friend.
Pup is probably wondering why that yellow stuff isn’t real cheese…
Grumpy animal may be grumpy because its name is misspelled. It is a viscacha or vizcacha. In case anyone wanted to do some deeper research into the daily moods of same. It is awfully cute. Rabbits may be disapproving; viscachas appear to be completely fed up.
Tim and Fiona…”tree falls over” 🤣🤣
Loving all the links today. I think I need a puprito for lunch, looks very tasty. Toast and her kitten, I’m in love. And here’s to happy endings with Fiona & Tim.
(Duckie places soapbox carefully on ground.)
Anyone looking for work in Abbotsford please let me know. Decent company, decent wages.
Raises hand. Can start at beginning of March, just hope the border officials will let me thru once I flash my Canadian passport.
AJ, Mike has my email and is allowed to give it you.
OK, email sent.
This is the strangest Friday I have ever seen. I love the viscacha and can totally relate to the mood 🙂
The day started with a strange incident: I got insulted by an old woman at the shop. She thought she was insulting some random person but even if she was wearing a knitted hat and a mask I recognised her voice and called her out on her behaviour. It was so funny how mortified she was when she finally recognised me. ( My parents and her former husband were friends) She tried to explain that she doesn’t normally behave like this… Yeah of course ….
Then there was a lot of drama at work.
After work a friend of mine called that she is totally upset, she would like to come over.
She did, we spent a lovely afternoon together.
As she left, another friend called crying because of some sibling drama if she could come over. She did and I comforted her. Now she also left.
I hope all you lovely Cutetropolitans have a nice day, if not, I’m at home 🙂
Very odd day indeed. Hope the weekend is better.
Maybe you should hang out a therapist shingle!
That Fiona link… blocked in Canada?… lol

Aw. Today’s link was actually about Fiona sending Timothy a gift in return.
Those pieces of fruit look so tiny in his huge mouf.
Awww XD
