Did You Hear About the Bear Who Lost Her Hair?

Poor Dolores. This lil lady at Germany's Leipzig Zoo has lost her fur. And so have all the other bears at the zoo! And nobody knows why. Poor guys. I hope they make them little sweaters for winter.

Thanks to Anna for the tip!

Only the Best for Griswold

Griswold the Great Dane only likes the freshest sips. My cat Ruby is the same way, with the sink! Such discerning palates.



Bonus video: "Great Danes Standing Tall," a photo montage of exactly that. With a Kenny G soundtrack.



Thanks Francesca for the tip!

Mindblowing Murals

Yesterday when I went to vote at PS 38 in Brooklyn I encountered some truly Astounding Art in the auditorium. Each painting had a TotallyAwesome Title.

Here's a sampling:

DAZZLING DESERT



How good is that fox-thing, right? Do foxes even live in the desert? Who cares!


HAPPENING HIMALAYAS



Something's happening in these Himalayas, all right. A bad drug trip!!! Look at all those freaky animals!


SPICY SAVANNAH



Me-OW!

Street Snuggle: Shiba Inu Pup

I saw this lil Shiba Inu hanging out in a pet shop window on my way to lunch today but he was sleeping and I couldn't get a good picture.



Doesn't he look like a tiny fox!?!?

I went back later and got this. TOTALLY worth the extra trip.

Pigletlets

Within the span of 3 minutes this morning, two coworkers asked me if I'd heard of "teacup pigs." Have YOU? They're only the biggest little craze sweeping the nation, HELLO!

Llama Odyssey

This poor llama named Homer had been seen wandering around Pike's Peak, CO for a month. Things weren't going so well for him.

"[The llama] roamed the mountain's south slope, living off alpine vegetation and trying to unsuccessfully to make friends with a herd of bighorn sheep."

Sheep can be such jerks!

Eventually two nice folks went up and captured him. They're going to find him a new home.

Seagull Thief

This seagull really loves Doritos. Understandably!



I love how he looks when he walks out of the store with the bag in his mouth. Making a getaway!
