Cutest animal pic I've seen in a long time.

"The couple were moving their old washing machine when they discovered the tiny animals curled up in dead leaves trying to keep warm."

Carnifex said...: @RH

I am not your personal 1 liner writer! I ain't fallin' for the "eyedropper" bait. If I had, I would have written something along the line of "Ron Jeremy's eye dropper was a turkey baster" but since I didn't...oh...never mind.; 6/7/12, 9:54 AM
Carnifex said...: A man flies out of town for a business trip. While there, the other guy he was doing business with gives him one of the puppies out of his dogs newborn litter(why is litter used for baby animals and trash on the ground?) He's got the puppy, standing in line to go through HomeSec to return home, when he is informed that he's not allowed to take a puppy on the plane. So he goes to the restroom, and stows the little thing in his pants.

Luckily for him, a 90 year old Medal of Honor winner was getting strip searched before him, so he boards the plane with no problems.

Halfway through the flight he's relaxing in his seat with a big grin on his face. The stewardess asks him "What's with the happy face? Most fliers are angry going through homeland security" He explains about the puppy and where it is currently hiding. The stewardess is properly shocked and says "Sir! You can't bring a puppy onto an airplane! What if it's not housebroken?!"

"Housebroken?" the man replies still smiling, "It's not even weened yet!"; 6/7/12, 10:09 AM

And very-British animals, too! We don't see hedgehogs around here.; 6/7/12, 10:34 AM
Synova said...: How long did they wait for the parent to return?

I had thought that some critters didn't nurse more than once a day. If that's the case, and they missed the 10 minute visit at midnight, they didn't "rescue" anything.; 6/7/12, 11:04 AM
Synova said...: My vote is for "adorable".; 6/7/12, 11:06 AM
Dave D said...: My vote is for "stupid humans", because if the mother is still alive, like Synova said, then they essentially wrecked a cute animal family.......

My vote is for "cute-ugly".; 6/7/12, 11:16 AM

Synova said...: If they moved the washing machine before they noticed the babies, though, there probably wasn't much hope.; 6/7/12, 1:13 PM
Synova said...: Oh, and what a lost opportunity for a hedgehog cam!; 6/7/12, 1:14 PM
MadisonMan said...: Image #2 is mis-identified. That looks more like iridescence than a circumhorizontal arc to me.; 6/7/12, 1:40 PM
