Life of a Blogger: Favourite Animals

I’ve decided to try adding a Thursday link-up, mainly because it’s not about books. I know, this is a book blog, that’s what you’re here for. But I thought maybe you’d like to get to know a little bit about me other than what I’m reading!

Life of a Blogger is a weekly meme hosted by Novel Heartbeat. Every week there’s a new topic, not related to book blogging. This week’s topic is: Favourite Animals. (For a full list of topics – past and future – go here.)

I love animals. All animals. I tried to save a worm from being smooshed on the sidewalk yesterday (unfortunately I may have been too late which made me sad for the rest of the day. I hope that thing about worms being cut in half and surviving applies to one end being injured too!). And while there are animals I’m scared of, I still like them being out there in the world somewhere – though in the case of spiders, I prefer waaaaaaay over there. But still.

It’s pretty much impossible for me to pick favourites, so instead I’m going to share some of my favourite animal videos and pictures, because that’s probably more entertaining anyway!

The Budweiser Clydesdales commercials. I cry every time. This one has puppies, too!

Then there’s this baby polar bear taking its first steps. I’ve always wanted to cuddle a polar bear. I know, I know, I’d probably get eaten. But honestly? I almost feel like it would be worth it.

I can’t even… *sniff*… just watch the video.

I could go on like this all day, but I’m sobbing over here and I just ran out of Kleenex. But those are some of my favourite animals – and favourite videos! Come on, say it with me: “Dawwwwwww!” //<![CDATA[ var sc_project=10144299; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_security="82f610c9"; var scJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
