It’s moment-of-truth time as Mr. and Mrs. Swan take their five children down to the pond for their very first swim. One by one the little cygnets plop into the water — but the last one isn’t so sure. What follows may be the most suspenseful eight minutes you may endure today, as two patient parents coax the fluffy holdout to get in the pool. (via Murray C.)

And finally: The Butt Down Run
Reader Elizabeth M. shares a dog doing a hecking good zoom: “This is a video I took of our pup, Blaze, doing his version of zoomies — he doesn’t do traditional zoomies but rather runs like this with his butt down. We call them “Butt Down Runs” or BDRs for short. Blaze also has an Instagram here: @blaze_the_bud.”
