    I am “onion-eyed.” This is a fantastically wonderful photo.
    It breaks my heart that there are jackass idiot humans who kill and/or torture these and other animals for fun or money, or who don’t believe animals have feelings or emotions. They should all, in their jail cells, be made to look at this picture for 2 hours a day. Oops, there go my onion-eyes dripping on the desktop.

      *places a hermit crab in a terrarium on a bedside table and a longhair, beatnik
      guinea pig (with a tambourine, for the Poetry Readings)
      running, inside its wheel on another table, on the other side of the bed*

      *IV’s icy tart lemonade into RoadRunner’s mouth*

    You just know that there is a very, very sleppy wee baby at the other end of that tiny hand. And a loving but very tired mama at the other end of the big strong hand.

      *tucks a goldfish bowl under one elbow, and a Lionhead Bunny under the other arm.*

      *Tucks in the pink fluffy blanket, under Shawpie-Wawpie’s chin*

      *Tiptoes out of room, wearing squeaky, polished, white Nurse Shoes*

    Seeing things like this make me feel as if I am blessed, if maybe only for the moment. But, still, I am blessed.

    • Rachael says:

      Same here, Violet. It just fills my heart. ♥♥♥

      I think I’ve caught a bad case of the onion-eyes myself. *sniffle*

    “Hope” is the thing with fur-
    That perches in the soul -
    And sings the tune without the words -
    And never stops – at all -
    (apols. to miss Dickenson)
    Pictures like this give me hope. Thank you CO!

    You gotta say the whole name, Brinke. Orangutan = man of the jungle. If you just say ‘Orang’ it means Man or person or human being. :) (that’s indonesian btw)

  16. Orangutans! Luff them! This is the kind of stuff that keels…so sweet…I’m melting, I’m melting, what a world, what a world…

    Even the Hello-Kitty defribrimalingitator isn’t proof against this. It. Just. Won’t. Work.

    Does mama play “this little piggy” with the baby too?
