This is a sweet video about a woman who raised three baby squirrels who were left alone, and several years later, when she finally released them to the wild, one felt so close to her that she built her nest on the property. But even more to the point, the squirrel would even occasionally drop her own babies off with the woman to babysit them when needed.

From the fine folks at The Dodo, once again as we do every year at this time, I just thought it would be the fine and proper thing to post a video on Groundhog Day about, no, not the movie, but an actual groundhog. All the better since it's such a wonderful one. And one good groundhog deserves another. Even if from someone other than the fine folks at the Dodo... This is somewhat similar to the “Elephants’ Pianist” videos that Paul Barton has made, which I’ve posted. These are from someone who posts his videos as Plumes (or Plumes Officiel). He has separate "single videos" singing to a specific animal, but has also put together montage videos of them. This is one of the montages If these -- and the Paul Barton videos -- don't convince you of the calming, emotional impact of music on animals (whatever the animal), then nothing probably will. Not surprisingly, I've been watching a lot of TV news the last couple days -- actually, longer, if we include invading Venezuela. So, I not only figured I needed a bit of levity, but also figured it would be best to do so with some kindred spirits, of sorts. In fact, I thought it proper to post two videos, since they are companions to one another. These are both very short. And are about pets watching TV. This first is much too unexpected and oh-dear-heavens funny. I know you're not supposed to say that something is so funny -- but even just thinking about what's coming I start laughing. And then even though I know what's coming, when it happens I can't help but laugh again. And then watch it again. And laugh. I feel confident that I'm not alone. By the way, what I also love in that video (beyond the obvious) is that the cat and dog are watching the TV so intently. And also, when the cat takes things into its own hands, the dog pretty much thinks, “Whatever, dude” and calmly just keeps watching. And this is a companion piece. But this time, it’s a dog’s turn to have the spotlight. You can see where you think it’s going right away – but then it takes things to a place that you never expected. Oh, this dog… That's a dog to dearly love. As far as adorable animal videos go, this is just one adorable beaver And her story from being rescued in distress at a very young age through her rehabbing with the help of a deeply caring woman and her family just makes her all the more adorable. You may not be able to access it below -- but if not, the direct link is here. Every day, a wild squirrel comes to visit a woman to just chill out or perhaps eat, and when the spirit moves her, to come inside and relax. For whatever reason, I don't think embedding this video works, but if not, then just click on this link here, and it will take you to the video on YouTube. |
