Sometimes, but not often, there are things that make us feel glad to be alive. Like Saturdays, deep fried mac n' cheese or a flippin' dog nursing baby pandas!!!!!!!!At a zoo in China's northern Shanxi province, a red panda unexpectedly gave birth to two tiny little cubs. That's right, unexpectedly, because she was so chubby and fluffy they couldn't even tell she was pregnant. (ZOMG!)
But right after the cubs were born, their mother abandoned them. So zoo officials found another new mother -- a dog from a farm in a nearby suburb. She's just a mutt, but she's almost as cute as the pandas attached to her tiny teats.
The pandas have already doubled in length and will be the size of the world's most awesome house cats ever when fully matured.

Interspecies connections are beautiful..and to think there are so many people who say animals aren't capable of compassion and love. Even the most obedient animal will not repeatedly suckle another species if it does not truely want to. I've always been an animal person, and observing them has been more than just a recreational activity. I am involved. Animals are so much deeper than we give them credit for. They feel pain, compassion, love, fear, joy, euphoria, pride, embarrassment, and even emapathy. So much more complex than we give them credit for.
Imagine the pain a cat feels when someone accidently steps on it's tail..and it lets out that terrible cry. I've seen compassion demonstrated by long term housemates when when becomes ill..near death..and the other grooms and nurtures it to comfort it. I've experienced the love of dogs and cats, daily...all my life. Their undying dedication. Any human being with an ounce of spirit in them can tell what a look of love is, by a human or an animal. I've seen fear in my female cats eyes when someone unfamiliar come into the house. The joy they feel when caught up in a game of chase with one of their housemates. Euphoria when they are laying in my fenced in backyard (monitored of course) in the bright sunlight..while rolling in the dirt. Pride when one does'nt want to use the litterbox because the other is nearby. Embarressment when (and this one may be exclusive to cats, but I doubt it), my male cat is playing wildly with his toy mousie and misgauges his backflip and bumps into the desk..fishtank..doorjam...the sofa..or me. Last but not least..empathy. This one applies to dogs and cats. Imagine your worst day..coming home crying your eyes out..and who is it that hops up on your lap and nuzzles you? Your best friend you'll ever know..with true emotions. Maybe their emotions are more or less complex than we are familiar with, but they are none-the-less there. My boyfriend argues that they opperate on instinct, but I disagree. If that were true..all animals would have the same instinctual behavours. I know animals as well as people are instinctual as well as emotional. Intelligence varies with the individual ..just as it does with people.I've had cats who have figured out how to open doors, bags, containers, let themselves out of a house using only cold air ducts and an open basement window...and also let themselves in the same way, but thats a whole other issue. My point was instincts verses compassion. This beautiful little dog accepted these baby pandas. Now that's something to put in our memory file next time we disregard our best friends' behavior. sorry for typing errors, I'm very passionate about animals

Trisha and other animal lovers,
Amen, I believe that animals are all the things you said. I also believe that people were as free and loving as other created beings. We lost our innocence at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Humans now have to figure out and calculate and criticize and judge everything through there knowledge of good and evil filter. Animals, on the other hand, just go with the flow. They are not judgmental but see a need and as fellow creatures do what needs to be done to balance and enhance the natural course of things.
Romans 8:18-25 (Amplified Bible)
18[But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and [a]for us and [b]conferred on us!
19For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].
20For the creation (nature) was subjected to [c]frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it--[yet] with the hope
21That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God's children.
22We know that the whole creation [of irrational creatures] has been moaning together in the pains of labor until now
23And not only the creation, but we ourselves too, who have and enjoy the firstfruits of the [Holy] Spirit [a foretaste of the blissful things to come] groan inwardly as we wait for the redemption of our bodies [from sensuality and the grave, which will reveal] our adoption (our manifestation as God's sons).
24For in [this] hope we were saved. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For how can one hope for what he already sees?
25But if we hope for what is still unseen by us, we wait for it with patience and composure.
Just my thoughts and interpretation...
