But then that's not hard. Very sweet commercial.
It's making me cry again, just thinking about it. Nod to Susan L.

Skipizzaner!
You no doubt know of the famous "dancing horses," the Lipizzaners.
Well, every morning, the amazing Skippy Squirrelbane does a dance, too. He stands straight up, and moves his front paws up and down, and then jumps straight up, all the time staying on his hind legs. (This is his, "OMG! Dog food, again! YAY!" dance).
Skipizzaner!
(Tanzi is not impressed, though she does say "jalo!" to Paco and Plutie.)

Nothing to add
Nothing to add to this little gem. The headline says it all, but it's worth savoring, like fresh hot pancakes on a cold winter day.

Pups and Downs
Bet this makes you cry.
Certainly made me cry.
Beagles released from lab, first time they have ever stepped out of their cage, walked on grass, seen the sun.
(Update: Commenter makes a good point. So let's elaborate. I could put up a video about how beautiful deer are, or how noble pigs are. But I would still quite happily kill them and eat their lip-smacking delicious flesh. This video is sweet because it shows some very gentle little dogs getting out of cages where they have lived. But we should credit the research being done, of which these dogs are a critical part. You can't let the dogs run around, because they would be exposed to all sorts of outside influences, contagions, and substances that would render the treatment vs control inference invalid. It might be possible to hold the dogs in slightly better conditions, but that would be a LOT more expensive, at a time when it is not clear we are going to fund research AT ALL. So let's all say "awww..." at the sweet beagles. But let's thank the researchers for their valuable work. These dogs were not "rescued." They were retired, after useful service, just as if they were police dogs or sniffer dogs.)
