A gentle reminder of how we do things: 🐱🐶🐦
- Do not troll the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.
- Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.
- Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Birds... are birds! Peeps are people.
- Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. If you’re having “issues” with another Kossack, keep it “out there.” This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
- There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If we alert you to it, please remember that we do have phobic peeps who react strongly to them. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw.
The critters have been worn out by the heatwave sweeping much of the country. They decided to take a look at the phrase “you snooze, you lose”. They would like to snooze in this heat, but what in fact would they lose?
The first thing they thought of was, of course, work.
But then it occurred to them that they might out on some fun stuff, too, such as:
-Playground visits
-Mud baths
-Toys
-Races
-Cookies
-Feel good news stories
-Celebrations
-Feats of strength
-Dinner
-Swimming
-Boating
-Selfies
-Flirting

Just saw a male ruby-throated hummingbird do his U-loop mating dance. Don't know if he got the gal.
Interesting article about the mating dance and what the female hummer sees. www.princeton.edu/news/2018/12...

Baby bison zoomies alert! 💨 Meet Samson, the newest (and speediest) member of our Free-Roaming Area herd. Born over Memorial Day Weekend, this fluffy little calf has already mastered the art of sprinting joyfully across 435 acres of forested fields like he owns the place. 🦬

-And even home ownership
And yet, the critters are prepared to take the risk and lose out on all that in favor of...snoozing.
