Animals get smashed watermelons, 4,000 rescue beagles, cuddly cow, how to fool a fussy eater, and more.
Who was that man with the mallet? I never got to thank him.

And finally: Dinner Theater
Andrew Y. shares a method for turning dog food into people food through the magic of presentation.
LOL!! I totally forgot about Gallagher, I used to watch him back in the day.
That pooch is almost as spoiled as my cats, I have to resort to musical bowls to get them to eat their ration of wet food in the morning because they always want what is in the other one’s bowl. Also Skye the youngest, will only eat dry food if I put it in front of her on the floor, she will not eat it from a bowl.
Husky and hoomin make a great pair. I wish I could fool Bibi so easily. But the nose knows.
I saw a post recently, I want to say it was an actor who adopted one of the beagle puppies. I can’t for the life of me remember who it was, now, or even where I saw it, but in googling (unsuccessfully) I learned that Harry and Meghan apparently adopted one, too. A Regal Beagle, then.
I could go for some watermelon…
That watermelon story is fantastic. I also LOLed at Mike’s glorious headline.
Husky’s dinner theater had me howling. Have to save everything else for later.
Another video from the beagle rescue:
I’m so happy these guys were saved but the practice of puppy mills makes me so angry I could just scream.
I’m glad Mike posted the content warning. I can’t even watch these videos because the backstory makes me so upset.
These two dogs were so sweet, I almost cried. So glad they’re no longer in kennels.
Toys are nice but I’m more excited that she’s not going to bred until she’s worn out and dies, that they have medical care, enough food, room to lay down and play, some warm places to sleep and the chance to have real lives.
And I truly hope that there are some warm laps in their futures.
squee!!!
I want that little baby!
(Don’t think a beagle would be too happy in my little condo, though. No space to run around.)
Gallagher – talk about a blast from the past. I actually got to see him in person one time. He is such a funny guy. Some of the beagles are coming to San Diego, just so glad they were removed from that situation. I couldn’t even read the article, got me soo mad. The video had me cracking up, huskies are drama queens/kings no matter the situation. Reminds me of a Seuss story with the missing cat who came back. When I get home, I’m checking under my decks to see if there’s any kittens but I think the only thing under there might be a skunk. Who’d of thunk a cow could be just like an ginenormous doggie??
Peeps, could use some good thoughts for my BIL. His situation is going downhill and doctors say his chances of survival are like 10%. It looks like the infection has spread to other areas, his heart is weakened and his bad kidneys (from diabetes) are getting worse. After discussions with the rest of the brothers, hubby is signing a DNR order today. He fought a good fight but I think his body just can’t take anymore. Thanks for listening.
I’m sorry AJ. Virtual hugs to all your family.
I’m so sorry AJ, signing DNR order couldn’t have been easy for your husband, I’m sending a warn hug and kitten purrs to you and him.
{{{{{Hugs}}}}} to you and yours, AJ. May your BIL pass peacefully and without pain, knowing he is loved. And may you and your husband find comfort and strength whenever and wherever you need it.
What she said.
Hug from everyone here, AJ.
Oh my how heartbreaking. So so sorry. 💕
I’m so sorry. He’s in our thoughts as are you and the rest of your family.
A very hard decision to make. Sending comforting thoughts for your family during this emotional time.
So sorry, AJ. It’s a sad situation. Take care of yourself as you all deal with this heartbreak.
I’m sorry for your family’s pain, AJ
Thanks everyone for the prayers, hugs and everything. The hospital granted an exception and his kids were able to come in to say good bye today. That to me is the hardest part to deal with, the kids not having him at their big milestones. So now it’s just one day at a time.
I’m so sorry AJ – lots of love to all of your family❤️❤️❤️
It’s been quite a day here, so I’m enjoying links while I wait to pick up Beano. She was significantly worse today and we were able to get a same-day vet visit. They think it’s kitty pink eye and maybe an upper respiratory infection. Last time she had something like this, the antibiotics cleared everything up. I’m hoping for a similar result this time.
But naturally, until I heard from the vet, it was difficult to focus on anything else. Yesterday will be one year from losing Josephine. When my babies get close to 16, I get much more panicky any time they’re ill.
AJ, more hugs. I’m sure you need them.
