Yay for empty shelter! I saw that headline last night. Figured it might end up here. 🙂
The rest will have to wait.
I am astounded and joyous that a shelter ran…out…of…pets! So happy for all! Kudos to all the shelter workers!!
If you like bulldogs, there is an interesting link to a shelter that has dogs with medical problems. French bulldogs that are TOO cute!
Little sleepy birb is so special😴
Oreo and Mo are so sweet together.
I think I would lose my mind if I met a llama at the airport!
I guess they’re the opposite of Drama Llamas.
I would fly to that airport just to meet the llamas! I’m still swooning over the one I met last June.
Seepy birb heartbreakingly adorable.
I have a sudden urge to travel to Portland, even if it’s just for a 2 hour layover. Imagine being a child and seeing llamas at the airport?? Sleepy birb is a best buddy, I just wanna hang with my human, don’t care if I fall asleep. And absolutely awesome that the shelter was cleared for the holidays and now they’ll be taking in animals from other shelters that are overcrowded. Then there’s romance in the air for the two rhinos, fingers crossed for a happy announcement in 2024 and the pitter patter of little hooves in 2025.
I love that comment about the rhinos:
A combination of ancestry.com and Tinder.
I loved it too! What a lovely couple those two are.
I’m about to imitate sleepy birb, but I’ll go lie down with my kitties first! I’m glad I took today off: just finished my first garment with handwoven fabric, hemmed some handwoven towels, and now it’s naptime. Catch you all later!
that sounds amazing!
