    Lots of negative comments on the puppy jumping—saying they force them to do this so
    they can sell them?🤨 Anyone know anything? I just thought it was really cute!

      I don’t know, but plenty of small dogs do agility training and the like. It doesn’t seem like a huge jump…

        I assumed pup had been trained for agility trials. I thought it was adorable too.

      I think the negative comments are just the internet being the internet – lots of unhappy people who need to spread unhappiness.

      Everything I’ve read and experienced says that dogs enjoy mental and physical challenges. They need mental stimulation, just like humans, and learning tricks & receiving rewards or praise for their accomplishments makes the dog\human bond stronger. My dog loves learning and doing tricks. We still do modified tricks, although at 15+ years old, the tricks are really his physical therapy. But the concept is the same – he does a physical activity and he gets a reward & praise.

        Thanks!☺️

      It doesn’t look like the dog is being _forced_ to jump at all – in fact the human isn’t even reacting at all to the dog’s antics, much less giving any commands or hand signals?

      • allein 🐾 July 7, 2023 / 2:38 pm

        I feel like the human is quite used to this.

      • 6rabbits July 7, 2023 / 3:26 pm

        See, that’s what I thought!

    Baby owls look so startled to be found, esp the tall one!
    That pig is a size I could handle if they all stayed that small. So happy!🐖
    The black kitties are cute but I LOVE Oregano!💋 She is sooooo adorable! Thank you to the family who was sweet enough to adopt all three😘

    Maybe baby owls are shocked by the noise of a G n’ R concert…

    😄: The agency adds they’ve yet to exhibit “their musical talent.”

    Aw, give them time.

    I love the name of the kitten rescue – Kneady Kitty Rescue ❤

    • Ricky & Bibi's Mom July 7, 2023 / 9:31 pm

      I thought the agency was referring to Guns N’ Roses.

      • allein 🐾 July 7, 2023 / 10:13 pm

        haha! maybe…

    Baby owls have melted my brain. So have the kitten trio. I shouldn’t have looked at the stories so early in the day.

    I felt horrible for the owls. They must have been terrified. Poor babies.

    I know nothing about the Glastonbury Festival…anyone know why that particular stage is described as “infamous”?

    • AJ July 7, 2023 / 12:20 pm

      I guess because it looks like an actual pyramid, is the main stage for the festival, and numerous mega stars have played there over the years. (Don’t feel bad, never really heard of it or been there and had to google it.)

      • allein 🐾 July 7, 2023 / 12:45 pm

        But “infamous” suggests something bad…maybe because the second incarnation burned down?

        • Ricky & Bibi's Mom July 7, 2023 / 9:32 pm

          I suspect that the writers (and editors, if any) don’t know what “infamous” means.

          • allein 🐾 July 7, 2023 / 10:13 pm

            That is quite possible…

  7. AJ July 7, 2023 / 12:30 pm

    Those owls look like they’ve seen some stuff, lol. Doggy is so smart and so athletic. I’m so happy the three kitty amigos went to the same house and they have 2 kids who’ll probably spoil them rotten. Pigggy has melted my heart, hoping she’s not as needy when she’s several hundred pounds or else that man is going to be black and blue.

    • allein 🐾 July 7, 2023 / 12:43 pm

      Maybe they’re tired of having Sweet Child o’ Mine stuck in their heads…

      • AJ July 7, 2023 / 3:20 pm

        Or they were offended by Welcome to the Jungle. We are woodland owls after all.

        • allein 🐾 July 7, 2023 / 3:45 pm

          Ooh, good point…

  8. Georgiana July 7, 2023 / 1:22 pm

    I would comment on puppy and baby owls and kitten and piggy but my brain has melted from the cute.

    Little piglet eating a strawberry–puts a smile on my lips! She’s a lucky girl to have so much love and attention.
