Links: Glad Grads

A smiling young man wearing a graduation cap and robe kneels next to a dog who is also wearing the same style of cap, graceful bird landing, and more.

And finally: Nice Landing, Phil

AJ brings us one of those moments where all you can do is watch.

    Well of course Rick Oliver James (greatest name ever) was growing and biting how would you like to loose the person who loved you and be put in a cage in a strange place, I’m so glad he has a new home and is happy again.

    Birdie on the left: Where did he go?
    Birdie on the right: You okay down there?

    I’ve had landings like that before.

    Love the vet school pet photoshoot! All 4 of my original cats got thanked in my dissertation, as they were my main support.

    A small bright spot out of Caracas…

    (If you haven’t seen the news, Venezuela had two 7+ magnitude earthquakes last night, very close together.)

    Poor Phil! Do owls blush from embarrassment? (How could we tell???)

    Loving the animal graduation photo shoots. Rick Oliver James just needed the right person, and she found him. They’re so sweet together, always happy when an owner “gets” a cat and allowing them whatever they need to be their best self. I still crack up about the birbs every time I watch the video. And here’s another from this group, their faces are so expressive.

      I love that all three react differently, but all dramatically. It’s like if Huey, Dewey, and Louie were raptors.

    Rick Oliver James has a very smart mama.
