The most unbelievably cute, beady-eyed, fat-limbed French bulldog pup EVAR.

"Ennh!  Ennh!" he says.  "I can'ts get ups!

If hamsters coudl talk...

this one would be saying, "Arrrrmphhgrarrhargh!"

I just love the elated grin in Lucy's face as she gobbles down her meal of pasta primavera.

Your dose of cuteness for the day

Teaching a baby wolf cub to howwwwwwl.  Did you ever hear such a tiny sound in your life?

Fearless Little Bun

Remember this little grey bunny that started hanging out in my apartment complex?  Well, I saw him hiding under the wheel of my car the other day.  When I walked halfway up to him, he started hopping over to me and sniffed my shoe.  Wish I could have stayed to pet him but I was late for work!

The buns - they're back!

At least one of them is.   My apartment complex used to have all these domestic-looking bunnies (the kind people normally keep as pets) flopping around wild.  About a year or more ago, they disappeared and I haven't seen one until this past week.

Here's a little grey guy paying me little heed as he nibbles on some early spring greens.  He's a new one - the others were white with black splotches.

Meet: Creatures by Hand

I've been wanting to post this since I saw it linked off a coworker's FB profile.

Meet Angela Y. Lee, a creator of creatures!  That is, she's a rather imaginative person in Peoria, IL who makes huggable, lovable, customized plush toys by hand.  I was quite taken by the sunny disposition of her website, its inhabitants, and the adorable little stories bursting out of every seam.  A few things you should know about her operation:

  • She never makes duplicates, so no two creatures are alike!
  • She customizes it with your favorite colors, animals, ideas, and dreams.
  • Her day trade: graphic designer.
  • Her creatures are not cheap, but isn't buying handmade worth it!?

From her website: "I was living by myself in a dark, bug-infested, sublevel apartment with no furniture. I guess making soft little creatures comforted me while I was transitioning into this new city."  I actually asked her blessing to post about her creatures.  Her response: "Sure you can include my creatures on your blog, they would like that :)"  

How can one not smile? Order here!

Is this for real?

My coworker can't stop watching this clip and showing everyone who will watch with him.  So is it a goat yelling like a man, or a man yelling like a goat yelling like a man?


Nutmeg, the non-human creature I love most in the world.

Dear cat.  She's so skinny now.  I sneak her snacks when Chris isn't looking.

Say hello to Cappuccino

One of the most beautiful cats I've ever seen.  He belonged to my cousin's grandma (on the other side), but when the grandma died, my cousin's family adopted him.  He's a purebred Himalayan.  I love his fluffiness, his burnt tips and gorgeous blue eyes.

Animals are Tastee.

Stolen from this blog.  Happy 30th birthday to my brother, and bravo to his perfection of our family's ribs recipe!
