Today's Adorable Animal Video

Because Trump is giving his State of the Union speech -- and no, I don't intend to watch, but look forward to Stacey Abrams' response and the subsequent analysis with clips -- I thought that I'd go instead for beatific and life-affirming this morning to prepare myself.  And not just one, but two Adorable Animal Videos, since I think a double dose is needed.

These two are different, but similar in theme -- a person helping nurture animals in distress.  This first is from the wonderful people at The Dodo.

When this baby squirrel fell from his nest, he started calling out for his mom and the most amazing thing happened □□□ pic.twitter.com/WMWOnip1Rv

The second is much shorter.  And doesn't do much -- it doesn't tell a story (those the text does) but just shows the aftermath.  But what it does show is A+ Prime.  And glorious.

The man in the video saved the life of the condor who fell from the nest as a young chick. The man took care of the bird until he was able to return & live in the wild- but apparently the bird hasn't forgotten his Good Samaritan- & he flies back and visits him every now & then□ pic.twitter.com/4KClpQBw3l
