And finally: Just Where Do You Think You’re Going?
Andrew Y. shares a furry roadblock.
Someone wants me to stay home from work. Hard to say no
I couldn’t get all the 40 photos of the Ukrainian people with their pets, by no 15 I was sobbing. I’ve kept it together for the last few days but I’m now a total wreck and I have to go out later.
Might have to save that one for after work.
Yeah, me too.
Me three. š„š
Of course I didn’t do that and I made it to #7 (little girl with her Chihuahua) before tearing up.
Iām sitting here doing the same. They didnāt mention the woman who stayed in place to look after her foster dogs – she was killed in a bombing. And thereās a 40 mile military convoy approaching. Madness, and all because of a twerp with an outsized, maniacal ego.š¤¬
Ukraine has endured centuries of oppression at this point at the hands of every conceivable flavor of tyrant. It’s incomprehensible.
Little white puffball brightens my day. Also, people, be sure to watch the pig. I found it last night and loved it. Mike sure pays attention to submissions!
I saw the piglet in the sidebar on YouTube last night and I didnāt click on itā¦apparently I was supposed to.
I also love the little white puffball.
āThis labor really Hertzāā¦.snort laugh!
Iāll have to watch the Ukrainian pets laterā¦
Thank you Mike for all that you do, including posting the pictures from Ukraine. ŠŃŠŗŃŃ!
Are you from Ukraine, dear Lurker? I’m from Poland. We all try our best right now to help our Ukrainian neighbors ā¤
Ukrainian, yes. Thank you Jerzowa and to everyone in Poland. Bless you and thank you.
Iām so sorry. Itās awful to watch, but I canāt stop checking the news hourly.
You’re in our hearts, Lurker. Wish there was something we could do.
Ukraine pictures are just heartbreaking but at least many people are taking their pets with them. So many times they’ve been forced to leave them behind or with a rescue group and hope they can get them out. Pregnant momma cat hit the jackpot with her rescuers. Love the names for her kittens. Blueberry the piggy is another one lucky animal living his best life. And so demanding! Those squeaks/squeals when he wants something cracked me up. Fluffy kitten warden gives me flashbacks to my minpin who also hated me leaving. Pairing squirrels and dinos left me scratching my head, it’s just a “huh?’ moment.
The squirrels and dinos are adorable! Especially funny because I’m reading A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth: 4.6 Billion Years in 12 Pithy Chapters by Henry Gee, and I just got out of the era of dinos and am getting into the rise of mammals.
Now to see if I can finish the book before it expires in 16 hours. (I’m on page 86 of 240, but of course that includes notes and stuff so it’s really only about 150 (though some of the notes are worth reading so I still have to check them which slows me down).
Love the photos of people fleeing with pet carriers in hand but they also make me upset.
More importantly, can we talk about the slippers on that kitten owner?
