SHOW AND TELL TUESDAYS - BABY LOVE

I used to be like this...

Then I met a girl...

She was like this...

Together, we were like this...

I gave her gifts like this...

When she accepted my proposal, I was like this...

I used to talk to her all night like this..

And at the office I used to do this...

When my friends saw my girlfriend, they stared like this...

And I used to react like this..

But on Valentines Day, she received a red rose from someone else like
this...

And she was like this

And I was like this

Which later led to this...

and this...

I felt like doing this...

So I started doing this...


NOW look at me

Bath Time

I love this video. The dog plays dead to avoid taking a bath :)

Glenn The Squirrel

Pauline from paulinesfashions wanted me to share this story with you all.

Debby Cantlon, who plans to release Glenn, the young squirrel, back into the wild, bottle-fed the infant squirrel after it was brought to her house.

When Cantlon took in the tiny creature and began caring for him, she found herself with an unlikely nurse's aide: her pregnant Papillion, Mademoiselle Giselle.

Glenn was resting in a nest in a cage just days before Giselle was due to deliver her puppies. Cantlon and her husband and watched as the dog dragged the squirrel's cage twice to her own bedside before she gave birth.
Cantlon was concerned, yet ultimately decided to allow the squirrel out and the inter-species bonding began.

 

Glenn rides a puppy mosh pit of sorts, burrowing in for warmth after feeding, eventually working his way beneath his new litter mates.

Two days after giving birth, mama dog Giselle allowed Glenn to nurse; family photos and a videotape show her encouraging him to suckle alongside her litter of five pups. Now, Glenn mostly uses a bottle, but still snuggles with his 'siblings' in a mosh pit of puppies, rolling atop their bodies, and sinking in deeply for a nap.

Glenn and his new litter mates, five Papillion puppies, get along together as if they were meant to.

Glenn naps after feeding.

Glenn makes himself at home with his new litter mates, nuzzling nose-to-nose for a nap after feeding.

Send this along to brighten someone's day!
Wouldn't it be nice if we could all get along like Glenn and the gang?

MORAL OF THE STORY: Keep loving everyone, even the squirrelly ones.
