At the risk of turning this blog into your Facebook Newsfeed (and I promise you I will only post 1-345 photos of my future children to my wall per week!), here's a video of babies overcome with excitement at seeing their dads. Goddamnit it, babies, every time I complain about you, you go and do something adorable.… » 4/12/14 4:17pm 4/12/14 4:17pm

As part of his Royal Duties™ Prince George had his first international playdate today, meeting some Kiwi kids while in New Zealand. The young Prince was the very picture of diplomacy, although even he, like we plebs, gets mesmerized by his mother's shiny locks. More images ahoy! » 4/09/14 10:20am 4/09/14 10:20am

If you happen to see a bobcat who answers to the name of "Rocky" roaming the Jersey Shore, don't worry. He's a "timid" family pet and his owner is trying to find him before the cops do. » 4/07/14 6:20pm 4/07/14 6:20pm

Oh silly baby elephant. Don't you know your adorably whole-hearted attempts to conquer the ball are futile? Thank you Columbus Zoo for not only giving us this video, but also providing the only appropriate music to go along with it. Hats off. » 4/06/14 4:45pm 4/06/14 4:45pm

Brush the cat hair off your most celebratory cardigan and slice yourself some night cheese, because being a cat lady is now très chic. Or at least it's a sign of independence and joie de vivre, rather than sad resignation to a life alone. Progress! » 3/31/14 12:50pm 3/31/14 12:50pm

Forget about getting anything done tonight because you'll be spending the rest of the evening sobbing or jumping up and down for joy watching Duncan Lou, a two-legged boxer, hit the beach for the first time ever. » 3/30/14 8:30pm 3/30/14 8:30pm

Actually, the best thing since sliced bread is Betty White (she was the best thing before it, too), but considering how much she loves animals I'm willing to bet she'd let these tortoises have that title. Because today we've all learned that there are precious few things more adorable than a tortoise dressed as a… » 3/29/14 4:30pm 3/29/14 4:30pm

I don't know what's wrong with me, you guys. This video of a little girl named Emma walking her gentle horse Cinnamon is one of the most joyous things ever and yet here I am — crying like a big, stupid idiot baby. » 3/28/14 3:30pm 3/28/14 3:30pm

Meet Sprinkles. Sprinkles is a tiny, adorable kitten with a tiny, adorable purple cast on her back leg. Sprinkles might actually be a robot engineered in an alien lab in order to destroy humanity by exploding all our hearts simultaneously, and I am A-OK with that. » 3/25/14 6:00pm 3/25/14 6:00pm

Two words: baby hippo. Two other words: I can't. Say hello to the first new baby hippo at Mexico's Chapultec Zoo in 16 years. And its ears. » 3/23/14 3:30pm 3/23/14 3:30pm

Dogs are so sweet and so trusting (especially when treats are involved) that it seems almost cruel to confuse them by offering them a treat and then making it disappear before their very eyes. Dogs didn't pay $39.95 — and a two-drink minimum— for this show and they're not impressed by the way you move your hands,… » 3/22/14 12:47pm 3/22/14 12:47pm

The beautiful thing about the Internet is its limitless ability to bring people together. Like, for instance, anarchist cat lovers. » 3/20/14 6:00pm 3/20/14 6:00pm

Ever worry that your puppy is just in it for the kibble? Well, be reassured: A new study suggests that your dog remembers your scent just the way you can't catch a whiff of fresh-baked cookies without thinking of your grandma.
