Sadface Matthew

Look at little Matthew. He's adoptable! And sad.



And inquisitive.



And shy! Oh, what a sweetheart.

"A Handsome, Humble, and Honest Face"

This is Jack. Short for "Jackknife" because "sometimes his hind legs start to run sideways and he'll roll and flip over," like a big truck jackknifing on the freeway.

Oh my goodness, this differently-abled dachsie has stolen my heart. (Don't worry, tender-hearted folks, he's not in any pain.)




Best for last:



!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He reminds me so much of the Doggie Diner sign in San Francisco, which makes me so happy.

Gender Roles!

Sara the Walrus really got me thinking. I was so sure she was a dude based on how she looked. But she wasn't! That's when I realized that some animals just seem to be one gender. Walruses, for instance, are total dudes. They have mustaches! Same goes for wire-haired dachshunds. Don't tell me this isn't a bro:


But it might be a lady!!

That got me thinking about which other animals seemed male or female. Here's a lil list:

Lizards

Guys. Specifically, CRANKY guys.



Lambs

Total girls.




Bald Eagles

Guys all the way. Note: this game only works with animals that look the same regardless of gender. (i.e. "Guy lions look like guys" wouldn't fly.) I just doubled checked and bald eagle ladies and dudes have the same plumage. Nuts!




Cats

Cats are ladies. All cats. Am I right?

Anyone have any other examples?
