Links: That Was Then, This Is Now

Not That Mike The Other Mike
Two photos of the same boy and dog, taken years apart. In the first the boy is a baby and the dog has black fur; in the second the boy is a teen and the dog has grey fur.

Really needed the pacifier in the second picture.

    I’m utterly charmed by the otters, those little squees are adorable and the one sucking his paw is so cute!

      I love how they like to stick their paws thru the holes to be felt!💙

        I want to go to there. The cuteness was off the charts.

    Grown-up pets #3 – 10 & 15 years later, the guy is wearing the same shirt in all three pics. 🙂

      I have clothes older than 20 years, so…possible.

      • allein 🐾 October 16, 2025 / 11:03 am

        There’s another one where the guy appears to be wearing the same shorts.

      • debg October 16, 2025 / 11:06 am

        Same here. I’ve got clothes older than some of my coworkers.

      These photos are so sweet! Except I’m crying over the ones who had to say goodbye.

        I love this comment on the Hammerhead Shark made of hammerheads:

        Nailed it‽ 🤔

    Otters are SO cute, and adept! The yawns! The tongue!👍🏼
    Bored Panda has made my day a LOT better already! Make sure you read the short article before viewing the beagle photos, tho.

    Love Mini and her kittens (of course). It’s such a big win when a feral starts to trust its hoomin servants.

    For some reason, I needed those otters today.

  7. AJ October 16, 2025 / 12:00 pm

    I would be otterly happy watching an otters TV channel all day. Definitely needed the cute today, all the memes and pics are helping me get motivated.

  8. AB October 16, 2025 / 2:13 pm

    I didn’t think I could love otters more than I already did. I was wrong.

    Why aren’t we talking about amazing Walter, the best foster cat uncle ever?!@?!?!?! He’s fantastic!

    • Kar October 16, 2025 / 8:31 pm

      He really is.

      Love how he guided that blind kitten.
