Meimi Hartman—you are a genius.

Meimi, if you are not already a profesh photographer, you better get on it. Look at this shot, for crying out loud. A SMILING HIPPO!? For God’s sake, get thee to National Geographic.

Hippos might win the ULTIMATE ear-to-head ratio, BTW.

Ear buds

This little dude’s ears are gonna blossom. Can you imagine him with two flowers, one on either side of his head? Don’t even get me started on the whisker puff.

Rule #23 Knobby knees are cute

Rule #23, People! It’s been a while since we’ve seen a new rule, and this is long overdue. Spindly lil’ legs with knobby hocks are a must. Don’t fight me on this!

Racktastic Adoption!

‘F. Skylar”s Dad has a license to raise wild animals at his house… Her "Rural Guardian" Dad has raised wild deer, baby opossums, several squirrels, and a couple of raccoons with a license.  Her Dad stumbled upon Rascal, a little screaming baby racoon who had fallen WAAAAAAAAY out of a tree… As if his cute ears weren’t enough, Rascal makes a cooing purring noise when eating. And if Dad is late with the mail, then there is a screeching…oh, the screeching!
