Bow-Wow-A-Bunga!

Over 50 daring dogs fetched a different kind of stick last weekend, as they competed in a surfing contest in Imperial Beach, California. The event raised money for area schools via DonorsChoose.org, a charity that aids classroom projects.

Every Garden Should Have One

Tigger discovers birdy vending machine. Very useful for the busy cat on the go. Tigger puts in monies and makes his selection.


Teh birdy dispensing unit took Tigger’s monies but no birdy dropped out!

Oh noes! Now it’s a venting machine…


Uh-oh. Tigger has turned it into one of those “claw-grabber” machines!


Got any spare change, Richard P.?

[Richard says Tigger was only just doing some research for House Hunters International--these units do not have en-suites. --Mod]

I’ll Miss You All Summer

I can’t believe that you’ll be moving up a grade and they’re holding me back, just because they say I’m… (snif!) slow! It’s not my fault! I’m supposed to be slow!

THIS JUST IN: Twin Horsies, Maybe

A horse owner in England got a two-for-one deal when her prize mare gave birth to a pair of fillies. Although the babies look alike, they might not be truly identical twins, says an expert. Nevertheless, the thirsty girls keep Mom twice as busy.

Puffy Powers Are Go!

Faster than a speeding puff pastry!


Chicklet teh Squirrel was rescued by Heather and photographed by Lynn T. Chicklet suffered head trauma as a baby and is half the size of other grey squirrels but twice as round (even though she’s on a strict diet.) Chicklet’s admirers call her the ‘Perfectly Spherical Squirrel.’

Ay, you lookin’ at me?

Double Take, Take Two

Longtime Cuteologists will remember Amelia Santiago, crafter of “doppelganger dog sculptures.” Now she’s doubling down with a new set of photos of her latest lifelike (re)creations. You can see even more here and check out her website.




Gonna Need that Ear Back, Thanks…

When a bear cub wandered into the yard of a Slovenian family, it made itself right at home — to the delight and/or chagrin of the family dog. Local authorities hope to be able to care for the cub soon.

Caution: Advanced Cuteness Ahead

Oh, you may think you can withstand lethal amounts of cuteness. You’ve endured lorises being tickled, otters holding hands, pandas somersaulting, and walked away with nothing but a facial tic and a two-point drop in IQ. But be warned — nothing you have seen can prepare you for… Cricket.
