Posting challenge 17/17: Year-end meme (baby animal version)

[magnetic_pole]

ETA: Whoops! This didn't post before I headed off to celebrate the new year....and then I came down with the flu. Updating now!

I started a fandom year-end meme a few minutes ago and caught myself saying I haven't been very active in fandom this year. But that's not true--I've spent hundreds of hours watching baby animals. It started off as a way to make myself feel better after reading the news and developed into a full-fledged obsession.

They deserve some representation on this journal, don't they? Happy new year!



5. A kitten playing with a dog's tail. So small and yet so determined.

4. The world's bravest and cleverest chipmunk. And a perplexed cat.

3. A distractible puppy. Watch for when he falls over!

2. Kitty licks. This love knows no bounds.

1. A kitten exhibiting pure joy while eating. Watch this with the sound on for the "meep" of the year!

With a bonus set of photos: An epic story of power and revenge. Two cats, one prized place to sit.

Okay, the distractable puppy one was adorable!

[magnetic_pole]

So cute, hm? You can almost hear his thought process: plant, ball, no, plant, whoops! ball, wait, person!

Happy new year to you! M.

Happy new year to you too!

And I love the older dog there, clearly wants the toy but willing to wait until the puppy loses interest, and then BAM! The toy is mine!

[magnetic_pole]

Hee! I didn't even notice that! M.

It reminded me of our Labrador, who will watch the Maltese shih tzus play with toys, and then dash in once they're distracted. Mind you she tries the same trick on their food bowls too.

OMG THAT MEEP.

These were adorable, thanks for sharing! And happy new year :)

*snugs*

Aw, flat on his little tummy, not wanting to be pulled back inside! Lovely. Thank you.

And happy new year to you, too! (Just added you over at Tumblr, but the way, as notquitepetworth.) M.

Thanks for letting me know! I've been added by so many porn-bots that I usually ignore new adds unless I added them first XD

I don't think one can ever watch enough baby animals videos! That kitten with the meep. AHHHHH

[magnetic_pole]

Seriously. They make everything better. (Just the videos, buy the way--we were dog-sitting a puppy over the holidays, and he was very sweet but also a handful. I like the way the videos skew our perception of baby animal reality.) Happy new year! M.

I knew exactly which MEEP video that was going to be! Ah, I love it!

Have you met Jack? He has the deepest miaow ever! http://liseusester.tumblr.com/post/160909486213/roceemo-beetleboo-dimedog-so-this-is-jack

Also a big fan of this cat who knows exactly when to say wayoh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-zV6nuk6kk

Hee! Yes, that one's the best. Embarrassingly, R and I have started meeping at moments of intense food joy. :)

Aw, l love the cat! Thank you. M.

[walgesang]

Yay cute animals! Hope you're feeling better. Happy New Year!

[magnetic_pole]

Feeling much better now, thank you! Hopefully now that's out of the way for the season. Happy new year, H! M.

[write_out]

I was so quick to jump on the vids that I forgot to say that I hope you're feeling much better now!

[magnetic_pole]

Aw, no need! That was implied. But thank you. Much better now. M.

[splix]

Ugh, sorry you got the flu! Hope you're feeling better.

The animal vids are pure gold. I wonder about the kitten talking while eating though. Our cat used to do that whenever we went near her food bowl while she ate and it was a warning to bugger off. Of course, we were assholes and used to go near her just so we could hear her grumble. :D

[magnetic_pole]

Ha! I love the (slightly) dark interpretation of his little nom noms. Fair enough. Usually by the time I'm that happy about my food I'm pretty possessive, too.

Much better now, thanks! Hope all the cold weather recently hasn't gotten to you. Happy new year, S! M.

[secretsolitaire]

Eeee, post of adorableness. The puppy is my favorite. *boops him*

Hope you're feeling better!

[magnetic_pole]

Isn't the puppy just the best? I'm glad I link to them here--these videos were getting lost in my thousands of "likes" over at Tumblr. I should do this more often.

Much better now, thank you! Happy new year, S. I hope 2018's treating you well so far. M.
