Dogs catch cheese, baby gorilla, pup finds a cuddle partner, and a magical water ballet.
Free cheese seems like a good cause in itself.

The size difference between the whale and the dolphin…! I’ve never seen a whale in person, but I have seen dolphins, so it makes it even more amazing since I know how big a dolphin actually is.
My dog when I was a kid was very good at catching cheese.
I love bebeh grillas so much.
The grace and beauty of the dolphin and the whale playing together! Heartstopping!
It truly is a thing of beauty and wonder! Dolphins are such playful creatures. Like puppies of the sea! I remember being out on a boat with dolphins along side, popping in and out of the water, urging the boat to create a wake for them to play in. The skipper would make a false start to tease them – they had so much fun!
But what a beautiful connection to play with the whale! 💕
Love the Catchathon idea so much! If I were a photographer, I’d want to do the same thing.
Can’t believe how gorgeous the dolphin and whale are.
I’ve seen dolphins and years ago I even kissed and petted an Orca at MarineLand Park in Niagara Falls in Ontario, so I have an idea of how massive that whale is. The way she and the dolphin are playing with each other is so beautiful.
Keyambe, and the dolphin and whale, were the most beautiful start to my day. Very soothing.
Lots of cute, but whale and dolphin MAGIC!!!!
Whale and dolphin swimming together is amazing. The size difference reminds me of a cat and mouse playing together (in the best possible way). When I was in Hawaii, we did a snorkel excursion and we have pictures of a sea turtle that came up to investigate my husband. We were told not to approach them but I guess it was okay for them to come to us, I think the turtle was about 5 feet away. On the way back to shore, we had a pod of dolphins escorting us to shore, just beautiful the way they were leaping in and out of the water.
Sultan and Cairo, awwww. Giggled at the kitty masseuse. And Kayembe looks like he’s rocking a very stylish spiky mohawk.
I love Keyambe’s expression when he lays his head down on his mother’s back: “This is my mommy.”
Yes, you can almost feel what his mother’s body against his stomach and chest feel like to him.
Agree that the dolphin and whale are an 11 but so powerful it’s a 12.
We all need something joyful and magical these days. Father passed on Tuesday so love finding grace wherever I can.
I’m so sorry. That’s a major event. I hope you’ll find peace with the loss.
Thank you.
Mom passed in November so I told him that she was waiting for him.
OMG. You have LOT to deal with. Words fail.
I’m so sorry, Kar. 😥
Hugs, Kar. Sending you lots of kitty purrs.
I’m so sorry, Kar. Hugs to you and your kitties!
I am very sorry for your losses, Kar. Bibi and I wish you strength and comfort when you need them, and balm for your sorrows.
Kar. So sorry. It is a very special and soul-soothing thought that mom was waiting for him there. 💕
Kar, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort and strength in your community of family and friends.
As to the whale and dolphin, sometimes the world is so much more beautiful than we can imagine.
Cairo and Sultan are glorious together. They’re also gorgeous.
