Tap-a Tap-a Tap-a
There’s something about dogs in old-timey movies. They just seem to have so much heart and talent. This choreographed dog from the 1941 movie Lady Be Good is pretty darn impressive. The human actress, Eleanor Powell, trained Buttons herself, and the scene was filmed in her own living room, as this is where the coordinated rat terrier learned the routine.
A Purrfect Bathing Suit?
Earlier this month, Black Milk Clothing previewed the Cute Cat Swim bathing suit on Facebook. I’m a fan of cute kittens, but not sure I need to have a pussy on my swimsuit. What do you think? Would you wear it?
See Catsparella for two other Black Milk cat swimsuits from 2011.

The narrator explains that the baboons kidnap feral puppies, raise them as pets, and eventually, treat the dogs like family members. Amazing story, right? It seems to disprove the notion that humans are the only animals who keep pets. But is it true?
