dogs

This dog is doing a whole lot better than our buddy who unsuccessfully tried to herd some sheep. That being said, give a dog enough time and environmental stimuli, and it's bound to try and herd something. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with these odds and ends from the brilliant minds of Tumblr.

It would be nice to be able to get so comfortable that you look uncomfortable. Seriously, some of these dogs just look like a pile. Dogs sometimes get stuck and need a hand, but these ones seem to be at least someone in control of their creative, and sometimes awkward positions.

Blair Braverman's Twitter thread about her adventure with a loving, big hearted good boy named Grinch is pure wholesome gold. Lost it at the one liner about how Grinch basically waited out the span of his short-term memory so that he no longer recalled turning around. 

This Twitter thread should serve as a valuable lesson in the unexpected importance of not ignoring the dog's barking. Sometimes those doggos are actually trying to help people out, and barking is their only way of communicating! 

Pavlovian conditioning can be a powerful thing. Just by sheer association, pets can learn very specific things, like how this smart dog learned the dinner criteria. Some pets take it a step further, like this dog who figured out how to herd a lawn roomba. Pets can learn a lot of very specific things. Usually it has to do with treats.

There are very few beings that are capable of being as relaxed as these melty animals right here. The flaps and wobbly folds of these dogs, birds, and rodents are a marvel to behold; a splendorous foil to the stiff and rigid. These animals are basically puddles, man. For more surprisingly relaxed animals, here are sleepy dogs in goofy positions.

Like people, dogs can easily pick up a on patterns. They might not know exactly why something works, they just learn that something DOES work and they keep doing that. Pretty much exactly like people. For another smart dog, here's an intriguing Tumblr thread about a dog who learned how to herd a lawn roomba.

Just picturing the look on this dog's ecstatic face after that hot dog water was spilled is enough to melt the iciest of hearts. That dog must've thought it was a true gift from above. 

 Like people, cats and dogs can have responses to bee venom that can be mild to severe, but with the right attention and care they just swell up for a while and go back to normal. So for a while, you get an inflated dog or a cat with extreme lips. For some pet stories, here's a wholesome AirBnB with a neighborhood dog visitor as well as a Tumblr thread about a dog that figured out how to herd a lawn roomba.

@raycont let the world know about the wonderful feature of this place to stay. Nothing like a well behaved dog to stop by for treats. For more surprise animal twitter threads, here's one about an incorrigible cat that invaded a guy's home, as well as a lizard that created havoc in a garden.

This bride asked the people of Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for not wanting her friend's dog at the wedding. It would seem like this particularly tough predicament boils down to the fact that they both have disabilities, and it's completely understandable that due to the bride's extenuating circumstances (intense allergies) that she wouldn't want the dog at the wedding.
