I cried all the way to work on the subway today. Ugh. Fuck you MTA guy. There are exactly two questions you are allowed to ask: is this dog a service animal and is it task-trained? Any questions beyond that are an infringement of privacy and a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). […]
Say hello to Quasi Modo! The winner of the 27th Annual World’s Ugliest Dog Contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. This sweetie pie whose spinal birth defects left him a bit hunchbacked took the $1,500 prize competing against 25 other ugly darlings.

Let me begin by acknowledging that I know peanuts about celebrity cat “Lil Bub.” Actually, everything I’ve ever known about Lil Bub, I think I learned from this single, amazing Gizmodo article, published just this morning. The article is, y’know, article-length—I guess, in modern parlance, you’d call it a “longread”—so I have tried to extract and synopsize the […]

At last, […]
Welp, I’m never leaving my dog home alone again after watching this video from YouTuber Mike the Intern, who strapped a Go Pro camera to his dog so he could see what trouble he gets up to all day. Turns out, the pup doesn’t get up to much because he’s so busy mourning the terrible loss […]
When Jonesy the cat stepped into snow for the first time, he wasn’t sure what to think of it, but he couldn’t help but investigate.

Simon the cat and his buddy Wash were taken for a walk in the park, but Simon was not having it. Wash adapted to life on a leash, but Simon revolted in protest. Unfortunately, curling up in a ball doesn’t stop life from dragging you along anyway. I feel you, Simon. [BuzzFeed] Original by Claire Hannum
