    Wow! That mailman pup is a Finnish Lapphund, just like my pup, Dusty. I’ve seen her tiktok account and youtube channel and she is definitely living the dream life for her Grim. So wonderful to see them here too!

      Henry deserves all the praise he’s getting. He is, indeed, the Goodest Boi.

        Yes he is. We really don’t deserve dogs.

    Such lovely stories to start the day with!

    I’d like to have a few words with that so-called shelter that didn’t attend to Lulu’s health care properly. Nail trimming and mat clipping are pretty basic veterinary care. And cage size is also important. Sounds more like hoarding than sheltering to me.

      I could not agree more! Some (I hope just a tiny few) shelters and rescues aren’t providing basic care for the animals they are responsible for. Being “locked in a cage” for a year!! Not trimming nails or dealing with mats!! Clearly not having basic veterinary care!! Thank goodness for Lulu’s new mom who was able to look past the suffering and provide a loving home for a wonderful kitty!

    Oh, and a shout-out to Olivia, the most selfless dog mom ever, for allowing Grim and Cecelia to have each other. Talk about good neighbors!

      I know! I don’t think I could ever do this. Actually, I KNOW I would never be able to do this with Dusty.

      Olivia is amazing. So are Grim and Cecelia. I’m in love with that floofmeister.

    Definitely going to be treat and toy overload for Henry this year. Such a good boi. Who knew birds, besides parrots, could live so long. Romeo is soo adorbs, kudos to the couple for rescuing him and letting him squirrel. And cat in last video is such a typical cat, yeah I’m glad you’re here buuuttt not gonna show it.

    Romeo and his people are so lucky. Squirrels are agile, brave and smart

    Cat psychs are the best.

    Lulu’s slipper-fetching–beyond adorable! Who cares about a little cat drool anyway? She’s so beautiful and happy now.

    Can’t wait to meet mailman goggie and the squirrel friend.

    “It is normal for albatrosses take a year off from parenting between chicks. Wisdom and her mate have met on Midway Atoll to lay and hatch an egg almost every year since 2006. It is estimated that Wisdom has laid between 30–36 eggs in her lifetime. In 2018, her chick that fledged in 2001 was observed just a few feet away from her current nest, marking the first time a returning chick of hers has been documented. The chick returned to the same area each year since then but this December was found 200 yards away on a nest of its own.”

      Impressive and touching. So glad the area is protected

        Ditto and amen.
