@MontereyJack,
I reckon 'Bucket of sloths' could enter common usage for anyone attractive but not bright.

As cute/slow as a bucket of sloths.

@ossobuco,
RH, Beautiful meadowlark. Thanks, kid.

MJ, A thud warning would have been nice. Wonderful and slow. Thanks.

rosborne, That's a helluva herd. And the proud parents? Gracias.

osso, Great winter pics. Beauties. Not gonna go into how much I love dem chimps. You're all bored by that. (Love 'em.) The manatee asleep is amazing. Is it really asleep? It won't drown? Like how the fish are using it for protection. Great stuff. Thanks mucho.

@jespah,
Jespah, Just saw your 2/13 posting, video of Boston terrier with marrow bone . Brought back a traumatic memory from the 1950's. We used to give our wire hair fox terrier marrow bones. He loved them, food and plaything. One Sunday evening we came home to find the dog in a bad way. The bone had slipped over his bottom fangs. It was clear he'd tried for a while to get it off. His tongue was cut, and the side of his jaw was scraped. We tried to get the bone off his fangs, called the super who was good with dogs, no success. We then took the dog to his vet, night emergency hours. One of the doctors took a quick look, took the dog's jaw in one hand, took the marrow bone in his other hand; one small twist, and the bone slipped free. The vet said this happened often, and he'd had lots of practice. The dog was OK, but no more bones, except Milk Bones.

Who needs catnip when you can listen to Cat Stevens?

@MontereyJack,
Great pics, osso. The camouflaged fish are especially wonderful. Thanks.

edgar, That's one tough bird. Fast too. And the cat is a wuss. Thanks for the video. Fun

MJ, Are you sure that the feline is listening to Cat Stevens? Tres cute and thud-worthy. Thanks mucho.
