No Politics–Just Some Fun!

animal behavior, dogs, Human/Animal Bond, humor, Kindness 1 Minute

With appreciation for Buitengebieden, the gentle soul from the Netherlands* who brings goodness to Twitter, and Nature is Amazing.

(These may take a few seconds to load. The captions below each video, for better/worse, are mine.)

My kids were never that patient!
I was waiting for the athlete to start spinning the ball on its strong little legs…
Glad the dancing doggie doesn’t have an inner ear sensitivity affecting his balance!
Don’t you wish you understood penguin-speak?
The victor at curbside volleyball. On to the tennis courts!
The balloon above his head says: “I found the BEST hiding place!”
Every artist needs a handheld muse!
Inter-species random acts of kindness sure have their charm!

*Correction: I originally identified Buitengebieden’s home country as Austria.

Cheers, everyone!

I've been a nonfiction writer for many years, exploring diverse topics that pique my curiosity, as noted in my first blog posting (Greetings!). I'm seeking dialogue with others committed to joining me in this exploration, sharing my conviction that different views can be exchanged in a respectful, civil discourse where we can learn from one another and be agreeable, even when we disagree. These postings depend for their enrichment on your participation: your ideas, insights, knowledge, opinions, and personal stories.

  3. What a GREAT idea to do a post like this. One uplifting video after another! I can feel my soul expand and my humanity return as I watch them. I especially love the examples of animals (even fish!) and humans interacting in loving and respectful ways. And that monkey was so patient (with one paw in her/his mouth…) while the human cut open and shared the delicious watermelon! THANK YOU!!!

  7. Monkeys in nature tend to live in groups where they have to contend with dominant monkeys who expect them to be patient, or else. That’s how they learn it. A human, being bigger, probably registers as a dominant monkey. The human, however, sees himself as the host and serves his guest first. All very civilized.

    What was the little penguin telling mommy?
    “I didn’t do it!”
    “He started it!”
    “It wasn’t my fault!”
    Or things of that nature, I suspect.

    No painting project is complete without a cat to supervise it. But heaven help her if she gets any paint drips on the cat.
