cute animal videos

They say man's best friend is one of the smartest of all the animals and after watching this video I believe it even more! Not only are dogs usually very responsive to human commands, they also have emotions that appear to be pretty clear. This lab is clearly sorry for something and is begging the owner for forgiveness.

Almost anyone with a dog knows that they love to beg for food at the kitchen table or wherever their owner is eating, but who would have thought that pet piggies would as well?!?

One company in Tampa Bay, Florida, Westcoast Brace & Limb, has built custom prosthetics to help many different people from children to wounded veterans. One of their latest patients, a bulldog named Spencer.

This dog has some great table manners. It has to make sure it doesn't get anything on that nice Wisconsin sweatshirt.

The only thing cuter than a lazy dog, is a talking lazy dog.

I know our two cats Fenway and Parker (yes, we're Red Sox fans) love boxes. Anytime we bring home something that comes in a box it's just a matter of minutes before one or the other climbs in-or at least tries to-and makes themselves comfortable. Maybe they'll just lie on it or scratch at it or chew it but whatever it is about a box it is simply irresistible. Apparently the same goes for big cats

Other than koala bears, pandas have to be the cutest animals on the planet. A few years ago, my wife and I visited the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C. All eyes were fixed on the two panda bears that were eating their lunch. And when it comes to baby pandas....watch this.

Look out "Dancing With the Stars". Next season you may have to go aquatic if Ronan, a sea lion at UC-Santa Cruz, gets any better at keeping a beat. Check out the video of her "getting down" to some disco and Backstreet Boys tunes.

Baby animals are always fun to watch so when I came across these video's of newborns standing--or giving it their best shot--I just had to share them. Warning! There is an abundance of "Awwww..." factor here.

We all love cute, cuddly animals but sometimes they just show up in the wrong place. Last weekend a marten, similar to a ferret with very sharp teeth, interrupted a soccer game in Switzerland . Trying to catch it served problematic and painful especially for one of the bare handed players. Check out the video of this and other animal interruptions of sporting events.

Sometimes, the post-Christmas "Frog Days of Winter" can be a let down after the excitement of the holidays. So, doing my part to avoid having us slip into the winter blahs, I thought I would share a cute animal video with you.
