Today is the eighth annual Wombat Day, an international celebration of all things wombat. If you know little to nothing about wombats, then you and I have a lot in common.
Here’s the pièce de résistance of the wombat phenomenon (in my opinion, anyway), via Dogwork.com:
I Love My Wombat, he is my best friend – Wombats should not be taken in as pets as they are an endangered species and illegal to own one. The wombat you see here was orphaned and grew up with humans and could not be returned to the wild. If you would like to learn more about wombats visit this website here

Trust me, you want to wait around for the belly-scratching scene.
This was taken on June 15, 2007, the day after I brought Zeta home for the very first time. Note the crummy apartment with a foot locker for a coffee table, as well as my early attempt to buy her love with a Kong.
I think she was still trying to decide if she liked me or not. She figured it out eventually.
My co-blogger, Coco Puffin, has been very busy lately with all of her charity work. She is now spreading her unique brand of Coco joy around Austin while supporting Love-A-Bull and Best Friends Animal Society’s “Strut Your Mutt” event, coming up here in Austin on Saturday, September 29, 2012. You can support Love-A-Bull by buying a raffle ticket for a Coco Gram, or you can have a Coco Gram sent directly to you or someone of your choosing. (Warning: Coco Grams may involve a significant amount of snuggling.)
Here’s more on the Coco Gram campaign from Miss Puffin herself:
