Who’s So Good? Is It You? Is It You? It’s You!
Last week I had an NOT about the disgusting topic of eating bugs, so this week I’m changing gears.
A couple of days ago I took our latest foster dog for a walk in the park by the stream near our house, and what do I see? A momma duck herding something like eight little ducklings! BABY DUCKLINGS! WITTLE BABY DUCKIES!
Momma would paddle through little pools and the little babies would paddle after her. She skittered through little rapids and the fluffernutters would skitter after her. She’d scamper up and down the stream bank around an obstacle and the teeny tiny wittle babies would scamper after her.
So your solemn duty, dear Deadsplinterfuzzballs, is to share something unbelievably cute you’ve seen in the past year or four.
Have you been blessed recently with a visit with kittens or puppies? Or maybe a newborn baby human child? Seen any chicks or baby sparrows?
Or as far as inanimate things, maybe you’ve seen some shoes that were just unbelievably cute? Or maybe you went to a happy hour that had teeny tiny sliders and egg rolls that made you go a little wobbly at the knees? Gone to a tea with itsy bitsy sandwiches you could only hold with your thumb and one finger?
Maybe you just thinned out a bunch of radish sprouts from your garden and made a tiny salad out of the little leaves and baby radishes.
Have you watched a sci fi show recently that has successfully capitalized on the Baby Yoda phenomenon and come up with its own ridiculously charming baby alien? Or maybe seen some little thing in a comic book that was incredibly manipulative but you loved it anyway?
OK, I’ll admit it, those little airplane sized bottles of Cointreau are awfully cute.
Tell Us About Your Cutie-Wooties!
Time to let down your guard, Deadsplintersofties, and tell us about something you’ve seen recently with big eyes and a squishy, pudgy, rollie pollie outside that made you go awwwwwww. We’re all friends. We’ll understand.
we donated most of our catnip to the kiddy farm today….figuring they’d pass it on to all to the cat owners….yeah no bueno…..made a pensioner real happy about mint tea tho
so….. theres that
didnt know catnip made good tea
I drive by a landfill and quarry on the way to work and I used to see tons of really cool turkey vultures just living their best lives and it has been almost nonexistent since last October. I know they’re semi-migratory but I was getting really worried! This morning I saw about a dozen soaring and another dozen on a billboard! I was screaming YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!! in the car when I saw them because it made me so happy!
Now I feel like I should take a closer look at them the next time I see them.
I think birds of prey are really cool. And we have eagles around here too and everyone loves those but they’re major carrion eaters, too! But we just go ewww gross vultures!
Mrs Butcher made a friend last week. This week said friend has been herding her brood on the lake.
I’m impressed you can tell the difference between her and other mallards.
There’s really only been the one female around this side of the lake. All the others are on the other side.
Hey, have the otters come back?
I’m gobsmacked that I read that otters were recently recorded in a stream a couple of miles from my house I showed in one of the City Walks. Because that stream is pretty, uh, urban. But it’s a great sign that they’re attracted to places I can walk to.
Yup we’ve had the same mated pair for several years. They’re building a nest within 20 feet of our dock.
Oh wow. My family once went to a wildlife refuge in California with a ton of sea otters and we got to see mothers floating on their backs carrying their babies on their bellies. Baby otters are unbelievable.
Someone posted this on Fur Face Friday today and it’s adorable. Poor little pup had a bath and felt completely betrayed, lol.
And speaking of cuteness and Fur Face Friday
Those proportions are wild. I wonder how much they’ll change over time.
Is this reply to me? I called her a pup but she’s full grown. I call them all pups. But she looks more like a prairie dog or something, lol.
Full grown? Those eyes look like a baby’s. But come to think of it, those aren’t puppy paws.
Her lil face says “I don’t know where you found the audacity, but you need to put it back.”
If i could justify getting a dog right now (I’m WAY too busy, not home enough, and won’t be home enough for the next couple months, minimum!), I’d probably make an exception to my hard rule about “must be a primarily BLACK dog, so I’m not walking around *looking* like I have dog hair alllllll over!!!” rule….
And I’d go get this sweet boy this weekend–‘cuz he is CUTE, and his personality is *right* in the wheelhouse of what I want😉💖

Look at that face! 🥰
Ohhhhh!
But you have at least one cat, right? Ours is way too old for kittenhood, but every once in a while he recaptures that crazy quality.
Yep, the roommates have the boycat!
He’s a tooooootal weirdo, and we all love him😉😁
He falls much more into the category of “Little Orng Weirdo” than “One Orange Braincell,” because while he *is* a toooootal himbo sometimes, he’s also much more *obnoxiously smart* than *cute but DUMB*😆
One of his favorite things right now, is drinking from the tub faucet. That left paw having to go *Up!* and get stretched out HUGE, Every.Single.Time he gets a drink cracks me up!😆😂🤣💖

Breakfast with Mom this morning.
Ohmigod!
You have to do another post about the lambs on your farm!
You should probably post about the farm every day. OK, every week. Well, maybe once a month?
For anyone *else* who (like me!!) didn’t know this subreddit exists, and looooooves a good giggle!😉😂🤣😆
Hilarious.
Huskies are definitely not for people who have neighbors within earshot.
My cute youngest daughter is home from college for the summer. Rocked her sophomore year, deans list & packed up all her shit without us going on the 5 hour drive to help her. So proud & thank god I got her a Subaru wagon that was packed to the top.
theautopian.com has a thread on what’s the most stuff you crammed in a regular car.
https://www.theautopian.com/i-dont-need-no-truck-whats-the-wildest-thing-youve-transported-in-a-regular-car/
My wife taught my daughters how to pack & they are masters. Daughter has a 2003 Subaru wagon that holds more than most big SUVs even though seeming to be way smaller. Now she has to learn about securing shit as she had a driver slam brakes & making some of her shit fly forward & break here mirror.
oh but also..as i kinda missed the topic last night…. the kiddy farm has a bunch of these tribbles
i absodefinitely handfeed them whenever i have the chance….so cute
