Which post?  #991?  http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,230406.msg1480252.html#msg1480252

Yes, sorry, 991. It is just so cute! Just got back from the vet. Hank, my border terrier, hurt his paw. Nothing major, thank goodness. He is afraid of the office kitten who looks like part Siamese, but she has a striped tail. She jets around the office, waiting room and in and out of the treatment room. Pouncing and just silly. Very cute.

Aww...

That's pretty funny.   :laugh:   

I wonder whether that kitten is a Scottish Fold.  I'm not very good at such identities...I can't even keep common dog breeds straight!

I looked at some pics of Scottish Fold kittens and I think that's correct.

I think you have to buy the ear option separately...it doesn't come standard with that breed...

@Suppressed

Baby animals are the best! I saw two cottontails together in my yard this week.Then I found cottontail babies yesterday! They are fully furred with eyes open. The last nest I found did not fare well. Either the hot sun or the fire ants got the babies shortly after birth. I live in a rural area and there is plenty of habitat and I wish they would nest elsewhere. I have to patrol before I let my dogs out.

I know what you mean!  They sometimes settle in the worst spots!


Here's a little bunny pic I saw today...

The 2nd picture is cute but this really isn't a cute story, I lost the one I originally read the other day.... but... bears by the number, black bears mostly, are living in dumps, landfills in Canada.

This is the picture that was in an article I thought at the BBC:


https://www.dpreview.com/articles/3134039193/photo-of-the-week-a-geartbreaking-photo-of-a-bear-in-a-landfill

Quote
When I finished making the photograph, the bear turned slowly and walked down into the smoking pit, disappearing from my sight. He never came back up during the rest of my time there.

It took me a very long time to process this photograph after, and I’m still not sure how I feel about it. All I know is that it’s the only photograph I’ve ever made that has made me tear up on multiple occasions. And I’m sure still has more to teach me.

The photographer was visiting the area, saw the bears in the dump and went back a 2nd time with his camera.

New York State made Long Lake, NY (in the Adirondacks), cover its dump over and chase the bears away.  They've recently been shooting bears as "a nuisance," even though the townspeople liked having them around, and tourists would actually go to the dump to see them.
