A special bonus from SLOTHFEST 2017!
Trivia question from the woman who runs Classroom Safari: “Servals do not eat sloths. Do you know why?” And the answer: “Because they would have to be really good swimmers to get from Africa to South America.”
According to her, this serval is pretty much unique among the species.
Not only did he do this to her, he also just randomly wandered up to a few people he didn’t know and rubbed against them as well.
I was not among those happy few. Maybe next time.
Just a cute little puppy with thirty pounds of happy in a twenty pound body. Mom didn’t know what breed she was, but I am guessing there’s some Australian kelpie in there somewhere.
Big yawn!
The bestest of girls.
I’ve heard legends of this dog! It is said that she is an awesome Aussie, aged 3.
Those sad eyes get me every time.
She was a very, very good girl, all the way there.
So I ran into Sofie and her dad, and I thought her name sounded familiar. And it turns out that yes, I ran into her before… back in 2010! She’s still around and kicking, at age 13. And distributing happy smooches to passers-by.
I also found out I got her name wrong last time. It’s ‘Sofie’ and not ‘Sophie’. Fixed now.
She’s all smiles.
Last Milwaukee post. This poor pup was getting a little more attention than he could really handle at six months. He was being very good, but he was preeeetty pooped by this time.
Very obedient dog. Well trained even at this age.
Then again, unless they’re actually running and grinning they always look sad and pooped.
Mom was not the only one receiving puppy smooches, by the way. *ahem*
On Saturday, Autumn and I went to a Sloth festival. I was somewhat hesitant to advertise it on here, because I wasn’t actually sure there would be anything interesting going on there. They were advertising sloth-based art and ‘sound healing’ and some kind of magic healing massage that doesn’t involve people touching you at all, which, well, that’s not my kind of thing.
But it turns out, well, they had a sloth. Among other beasties. And I had my nose licked by it.
Anyone up for slothfest 2018?
(PS: The lighting was HOOOOORRRRRIBLE.)
Pretty pup!
I feel like the markings on his forehead should mean something. Sergeant Dog, maybe?
Don’t blame me, I didn’t name him. I just petted and cuddled and photographed him.
Baby Jesus (13, pit bull mix) is the dog of a coworker and friend of mine, and is also now one of Autumn’s clients. He’s slowed down a bit since his puppyhood but he’s still a friend to all.
He’s actually a joint-custody dog, which unfortunately means he’s only come in to hang out with us at work once so far. Hopefully many more to come!
I’m not sure. I just know that he’s amazingly mellow and that I ran into him at work. And that that’s a hell of a trick with the tongue.
That’s some talent right there.
I kind of like this one.
I ran into Chico The Gorgeous earlier today, and just had to post him. Wow. Just wow.
I feel like I’ve seen Chico before.
Chico is one of those dogs with perfect sucker radar. Spotted me a block away.
Let’s get a closer look at those eyes.
This is mere seconds before I was ambushed by a spate of incredible cuddles.
