Various varieties of cuteness...

[fajrdrako]

From dargie:

1. Stop talking about politics for a moment or two.
2. Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.
3. Include these instructions, and share the love.

1. Stop talking about politics for a moment or two. As it happens, I have not been talking about politics, American or otherwise. I have not even been thinking about politics - well, not much - but the instruction not to do so has suddenly made me want to talk about politics. Maybe in another post. Maybe not. Anyway... Picture me zippering my mouth, like the Master did with the American President in "Last of the Time Lords". Not a word, oh no, not me.

2. Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. Okay, here are the two cutest things I can think of: a man and his dog.



John Barrowman and his Jack Russell terrier puppy, Captain Jack. (Known as CJ.)

Then because overkill is my middle name, under a cut, here are two other photos to make you smile.

And this picture, posted by an American friend a few days ago, is one of the most delightful I've seen in a while: .

What about the Doctor and kitten?!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Oooh yes, Doctor and Kitten, so very much cuteness there.

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

Aw! Thank you! I love its tiny paws!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the paws are perfect. And the way it's tilting its ears.

That man and his puppies SLAY ME DAID. :-)

*snuggles them all*

I love sparrows, the cheeky little devils.

Unbalancing the cuteness rationing of the world. I know. That isn't a Rift, it's a Cuteness Magnet soaking all the excess cuteness of the world right into Cardiff. And to a certain household in Cardiff at that.

I love sparrows too. I'm a bit of a sucker for cute little birds. (I type this with my own budgie family singing behind me.)

The Barrowman-Gill house is the Vortex of Cute.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

The Utopia of Cute. The Alternate Dimension of Cute. The Hub of Cuteness.

Which one brings teh cute better, the man or the dog? (I'll surprise you and say the man. I'm not so big on Jack Russell Terriers. Unless they're named Wishbone. Which this one isn't. LOL!)

I like this meme-ette. Thanks.

Which one brings teh cute better, the man or the dog?

Close call, but I'll say the man. On the argument that all terrier puppies are cute; not all men are cute. That makes him more rare.

Wishbone? Is there a story there? Who is Wishbone?

My own terrier - not a Jack Russell but a mixed terrier with a good bit of the fox terrier in him - was not so much a pet, as my only brother. A prince among dogs.

The meme is fun, isn't it?

[gypsylady.livejournal.com]

Wishbone the TV Show (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wishbone_(TV_series)) is still a favorite among some early education teachers of my acquaintance. The stories are adorable and Wishbone is a character.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Never heard of it: LJ is so educational! I love the photo of Wishbone as Robin Hood. I could like a pooch like that.

Cute? You want cute?! You need… Squirrels!

What great bushy little guys!

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

They are my neighbours and friends! Irresistible!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I should try to get some photos of our neighbourhood squirrels. They're always so active and busy.

Corrected, for added cuteness

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Hee. If I could feed a nut to a photograph.... I would.

Re: Corrected, for added cuteness

[gypsylady.livejournal.com]

Are you sure those eyes don't identify this as the Great Squirrel of Evol, allied with Bad Horse?

Re: Corrected, for added cuteness

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

So, they're slightly demonic.
But that's not necessarily a bad thing… ;-D

Re: Corrected, for added cuteness

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Cutely demonic!

Re: Corrected, for added cuteness

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

Some demons are a girl's best friend.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Would this be a problem?

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love the sparrow!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Isn't that a wonderful bird picture?

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

More feathered adorability:
Long-tailed Tits (http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/l/longtailedtit/index.asp).
A gang of these tiny pink, black and white guys were squeaking at the street corner this afternoon.
"The Long-tailed Tit is an adorable, small, fluffy pinkish bird." (http://www.garden-birds.co.uk/birds/longtailedtit.htm) And it knows it.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

How lovely!

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

The very short beak and round eyes give them that appealing 'baby bird' look which swallows and their relatives also have.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I like the look of finches, too.

[raissad.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Always happy to share the prettiness.
