Something positive finally comes of Junior's affliction

kids with gas eat free

Submitter Ken says, "I think this gas station diner needs to clear the air! This is a scan of a picture I took years ago off a California highway..."

Great job, Ken!  (Although I hope for your sake you didn't go inside.)

Your morning adorable

asta the terrier gets into trouble

Maybe it's just 'cause I live with a little terror (whoops, terrier!) of my own, but I think there's something precious about Asta here, troublemaker though he may be.  Perhaps it's the mischevous gleam in his eye?  At any rate, I massively love this photo from submitter Holly. 

See more cantankerous canines (and cats) in our Pets Behaving Badly album!

Another product of the Nintendo generation

everyone loves dr. mario

Submitter SLY1 tells us, perhaps unnecessarily, that Missy the cat here has "good twitch reflexes and concentration!"

She certainly looks like she could beat me in a round of Super Mario Brothers or The Legend of Zelda!

Do you want to see a closeup of this concentratin' kitty as much as I do?

Your morning adorable

outrageously precious baby bobcat!

Are you kidding me with baby bobcats?!?!

This has got to be some kind of a hoax.  No such precious animal could possibly exist.  It's mythical in its cuteness, kinda like a unicorn.  This is outrageous!

Who needs birthday cake?

camel = best birthday gift ever"The camel is greeting Bill on his 95th Birthday," explains submitter Misty.

Um...I have several thoughts on this.  Where to start?  Where to start?

A) Bill looks a youthful seventy, tops!  Am I right or am I right?!  Ninety-five?!  Where's his aging portrait in the attic?

More importantly, B) How amazing is celebrating one's ninety-fifth birthday At. A. Camel. Farm?!?!?!



Dear My Unborn Children,

Pleasepleaseplease take me to visit a camel farm on my 95th birthday. 

Love,
Lindsay (a/k/a "Mom")

Question:  What's cuter than two baby Beagles playing?

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this amazing photo (from our Four-Legged Friends album), submitter deleweye!

Nothing personal, Grandma...

watch out for oldies!

...but we've been getting some complaints.  Now, if you could just move that pesky walker out of the way of traffic, we'd be all set!

Oh, also, you've got some lipstick on your teeth.

XO,
The Maker of This Sign

Your morning adorable

cute kitty sleeping!

Time for a collective "Awwwwwww."

There now!  Don't we all feel better?  Reiner the cat certainly seems to be feeling good, and who wouldn't, nestled under such a nice fluffy pink blanket?

I think I'm going back to bed.

Apparently this is a dog

mexican hairless dog

...and, hey, I'm an equal-opportunity dog lover. 

But, call me old-fashioned, I just feel that (barring some sort of wasting illness) dogs and cats should... um...have fur

So just what is little Zuma here, exactly?  Here are some of your ideas:
