      I love Veronika and her story.

      Lol this was my first thought.

      My second was that video of an elk using his antlers to scratch his nards.

    I feel a little cheated by the video of the dog with his head in a jar of pork rinds, we get the build-up of the cutting but we never see how she finally get his head out of it.

      That video was on a We Rate Dogs roundup recently (much shortened, of course).

    Who could blame the rescuer of the European wildcat? That’s one cute kitty, with a superb growl.

    I don’t get the surprise about cattle and tools.

    Have they NOT seen the ChikFilA signs? Cows maybe able to use tools but still struggle with spell check

    Doggy and pork rind jar gives new meaning to the term “Cone of Shame”. Plus while it’s still on his head, he was trying to keep eating them AND even after it was off, he’s snorfling them up in the background. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I didn’t realize pork rinds were that tasty.

    I refuse to believe this lil guy is real, I think the photographer just placed a stuffy there.

      He looks like Norbert.

      • Ricky & Bibi's Mom January 23, 2026 / 2:35 pm

        Sure does!

      • Dana January 23, 2026 / 3:57 pm

        Awwww, he does look like Norbert.

        • allein 🐾 January 23, 2026 / 4:19 pm

          He might be…I looked at the original source and it looks like a facebook page that just shares cute stuff. I did a google search on the image and the AI thing IDs it as Norbert. I don’t know how trustworthy that is, though.

    • Ricky & Bibi's Mom January 23, 2026 / 2:36 pm

      Pork rinds are delicious. And addictive. Which is why I can never have any around me, or I would really be a Round Me.

      • Kar January 23, 2026 / 4:43 pm

        I like Chicharrons,

        especially the kind with a lot of pork attached to them.
