animal lover

I'm not a huge fan of animals.
I think they're cute when I'm looking at them, and I love holding them, but once they come home with me, and they grow to adult animals, we stop being friends.
I don't like the smell of animals, I don't love animal hair, and I just don't feel the need to own them.
Them=common everyday domestic animals.

Then, I see animals that very few people own, and I become obsessed.
Take, for instance, the teacup pig

Look at its sweet little self. I love it so much.

Another example, the baby pygmy hippo. It is probably the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

Look at it take a bath! And eat lettuce! And sit there looking all cute!

Lastly, the slow loris is my new obsession. I want one really, really bad. Just keep watching until it makes its incredibly pathetic face. It is going to make you laugh and cry at the same time.

  2. oh my goodness. I had already seen the pig before, but I think that hippo just became my favorite animal ever.

  3. You just love the babies. But then they grow up, poor unloved grown up animals. But, you do not love all babies. Baby flies, baby spiders, baby slugs, baby cockroaches. These babies you do not love.

  4. that's probably true. none of those things sound like something i love. baby bugs don't look like cute versions of their selves. they are just smaller, creepier versions of their selves. ugh.

    the slow loris is not a baby, it's just adorable. and yes, dana, i do love that you can expand my horizons. but i showed you the pig, so i expand horizons as well.
