The Sleep Burrows Wombat Sanctuary, located in New South Wales, Australia, offers ten possible employment opportunities for wombats. You should definitely check out all ten, but I’m still stuck on having them do your laundry.
Some dogs aren’t picky about what they eat, but others like a bit of music to go with their meal (h/t Misty).
Sorry I’m a bit late with my cute entries. Hopefully this makes up for missing this past Monday. This is an adoptable dog from Austin Pets Alive! whose name and description ought to make TV geeks chuckle a bit (h/t Lindsay).
Are you looking for a dog to keep you in the game? Check out Avon Barkstail. He ain’t no suit-wearin’ businessman. He’s just a sweet dog looking for a home where he can learn to become a great family pet.
Mr. Barkstail is a major player in the Austin dog scene. Major. We’ve put him under heavy surveillance to monitor his daily movements. Here is the 411: He leaves his kennel several times each day for walks. His leash manners are fairly good, and we are working to improve them. Once a day he likes to meet up with other dogs (no sign of Stringer Tail or Wee-Bark). He hasn’t shown any reactivity to other dogs, but also not a whole lot of interest in playing with them. Additional socialization is recommended.
It is important for Mr. Barkstail’s new family to know that he is good at jumping fences – even tall ones. It makes for a handy escape route when Omar is on his tail, but his new family won’t want Mr. Barkstail to be escaping their yard. So a primarily indoor environment, with continued surveillance on all outdoor activities, is heavily recommended for Mr. Barkstail’s new home.
Okay, it’s cheesy. But it’s cute, right?
If you haven’t seen this ridiculously adorable video of two huskies arguing over whether or not they are going to play (with subtitles!), miss out on the joys of life no longer:

I don’t know if Monty Python’s “Argument Clinic” inspired the two hounds, or their presumably-human translator, but I’ll tip my hat to them as well.
Put another way, the doodlebug-lizard* vs. the walking pinecone.
I’m inclined to go with the armadillo in this particular matchup, because as much as I like pangolins, in all of their huggable** pineconeyness, the mud-bathing dude is a wee bit creepy. Opinions may vary, of course.
Here’s some bonus armadillo cuteness for you.
* Yes, I know they’re both mammals. I’m being metaphorhetorical.
** I am not a zoologist, but it is probably safe to say that it is unwise to attempt to hug a wild pangolin or armadillo.
The caption on Reddit is “Hey gurl…”, which is also pretty good, but I couldn’t pass up a chance to alliterate.
Dogs love to play—everyone knows that. Sometimes, though, they get a bit more than they bargained for, and the results are adorable. Take this dog, who gets 100 balls for his birthday and pretty much loses his mind (h/t Joe Veix).
A few years back, another dog received the gift of many, many tennis balls. This is for all the dogs out there—may they play with all the balls: Continue reading
This cat undergoes a grooming ritual by a family of deer every morning, apparently whether it wants to or not.

As a bonus, here is a young fox that is possibly trying to groom a fellow young fox with its teeth, or is practicing a future life of fox cannibalism:
