Animals have the right idea: nap often and comfortably!

(Think my boss would notice if I got in touch with my inner simian and took a snooze?)

Gladys: You're so funny. I think your boss might notice. lol!

Actually, you do have a good point, about animals having the "right idea". I remember reading somewhere (a long time ago), that most cats sleep anywhere from 14-18 hours a day. Imagine that?

I know my Tortie and my Tabby do it every day! But, my Siamese spends more time "talking".

Ah, so you have a talking Siamese, too! I've had Siamese my whole life and this one is truly the goofiest, sweetest, and blabbermouthiest I've ever had. And I wouldn't trade him for the world.

(Well, maybe for a few bucks. He's got stone issues and already has cost me almost $10 grand in surgeries and special diets. I'm looking for a job training program so that he can start to pay me back. All that talking--he could get into phone sales.)

The barn across the street from me has an odd couple. A very large horse has befriended one of the barn cats. The horse will not settle down for the night till the cat is curled up on his back sleeping. During the day, the horse leans his head out a window, while the cat stands on the windowsill and grooms the horse's head.

THESE are the cutest sleeping animals ever? Hmm. These pictures look pretty ordinary to me. I love animals, but I don't see anything really exceptional about these pictures.

These are simply adorable. I could show you some awesome rabbit pics.
They're like little dogs if you give them the space and attention!

Yes, my bf's bunny is full of personality. I had no idea they were such great little pets. And he is like a little dog!

If you love your pet, your pet will always be the cutest animal in the world to you, waking or asleep, no matter how ugly or hideous he or she appears to the rest of the world.

All those insipid, hateful comments by the likes of Pat Robertson and his ilk have inspired me to begin my own religious movement: the Church of the Golden Retriever.

At the CGR, nobody will ask you to start a war, kill a person, or donate your 401K to get to heaven. All that is necessary is petting, walkies, 2 square meals a day, and an occasional bite of your turkey sandwich. You sometimes wake up in the morning knowing they're right next to you, lying at your feet or with their butts near your head when they let out that little airy noise that forces you to get up. Also, no matter how much you screw up, they always FORGIVE YOU.

It's more rewarding than anything the Robertsons can offer, and you can begin your own offshoot with whatever breed you have. I mean, coming home to a wagging tail?? Religion can't top that!

Hi Tanzanite, Always so good to "see" you here. I was actually thinking about you this morning re: another post you made in Style a few days ago when it was "hard to feel the love". The beat goes on there and it is beyond my comprehension.

Sleeping babies, yes. Precious, everyone of them.

I have my own sleeping baby today. My cat had an accident last night while jumping off
the washer and broke her leg. Emergency surgery into the wee hours and now home, very miserable, in a cast and collar. It breaks my heart to see pain of any kind.

I hope your day sparkles just like you.

The 1st dog is uber-ugly. The rest of the animal pix HP has posted aren't cute either. HTF did HP get a hyper ugly kitten & 2 uncuddly pandas? HP should consider buying stock shots till HP has a better collection of cute animal pics. How long has HP been publishing, anyway?

Pranger, I'm not seeking friends when I make comments on HP blogs. Try minding your own business. Take time to learn how to write an overt insult. Your smarmy, condescending, efforts at giving me your pity belong at a pity or tea party-not on HP.
If you are covertly offering me your 'friendship', keep it. I need 'friends' of your pathetic ilk as much as I need a HIV+ result from a lab test.
Spend the rest of 2010 looking at your collection of cute dog pictures, such as the old illustration of dogs playing cards.
Have you considered contributing 1 of your cut dog illustrations to be awarded as a door prize at a pity party or a tea party?

I disagree, they's all cute.
