Animal Lovers

Every bundle of joy is special, but babies, puppies, and kittens all come with a price. The question is, how much? Whether your newest family member learns to walk on two legs or four, money is unfortunately something everyone needs to consider. Those who are ready to take the next step to expand their families have a couple of options. Between babies and pets, there’s a lot of love to go around. If your new addition is human, canine, or feline, the first year of their life will require a financial commitment. SafeWise , one of the leading names in home security, wanted to know exactly how much raising babies and pets really costs. Their team of researchers searched Amazon looking for the highest-rated products every new parent needs. They estimated the annual average cost for items that need to be purchased more than once, and they added it all up to find total amounts for babies, puppies, and kittens. SafeWise left out medical fees, vet bills, and adoption costs from animal s...

They're so cute you can bear-ly believe it. These newly-released snaps show two adorable baby polar bears just after they were born. The twins' species is more used to the icy waste of the Arctic. And no doubt they will both grow into enormously powerful animals, easily capable of killing a human. Super-cute: The two newly-born polar bears in Laohutan Ocean Park in Dalian, China But snuggled up in bed paw-to-paw, that's hard to believe as these furry fellas are enough to melt even the coldest of hearts. The as yet unnamed bears first said hello to the world on October 14 last year after being born at the LHT Pole Aquarium in China. They are the third litter of youngsters produced by a pair donated by the Finnish government in 2001. In 2008 the pair gave birth to China's first polar bear, Tao Tao. Then last January they gave birth to two youngsters - a boy and a girl - before producing the most recent twins. Back-to-back: These super-cure li...

Just the other day, if you were surfing around here, you probably saw a video of a baby laughing her head off at a dog eating popcorn. Well, now we’ve got that video’s rival. This baby wasn’t too keen on eating his green beans, but when he saw his puppy grabbing them in midair, he lost his mind with laughter. And sure, laughter can’t exactly replace a healthy diet, but it should count for something, shouldn’t it? I for one can’t blame this family for forgetting about forcing their baby to eat his green veggies. If I were there, I’d much rather watch this little guy laugh than eat. And actually, I’m up for anything at all that makes parents forget about green vegetables! Take a look at this video! Honestly, I’m still getting used to eating them myself. (Seriously, what is up with broccoli? It is one hundred percent horrifying if you ask me.) Share away, people!

Its common knowledge that dogs are very protective of their families, and that they get even MORE protective when their family includes small defenseless babies. Well, this cat doesn’t want dogs getting all of the glory, and she’s making a statement about how cats can be just as, if not more, fierce than their canine counterparts. This man is playing with his baby, lightly slapping the babies car seat to make the little guy laugh, but his pet cat seems to think that he’s attacking his infant child. It runs up to the baby’s defense and attacks the man’s arm. The man pushes the cat away, but this little girl isn’t taking no for an answer! She jumps up on his arm and bites him, and eventually the man seems to be more amused by the cat’s antics than the laughter of his baby. Take a look at this video! He keeps slapping the car seat to rile up the little kitty, and the cat keeps launching her different attacks! Share away, people!

Coming across an animal in your backyard can be a special treat. It’s made even more special when they let you get close to them. But this little boy probably gets the most unique experience that every kid probably dreams about. While outside with his parents, there’s a very calm deer just standing in the middle of their flowers. She doesn’t move even when the little boy gets close to her, as if she can sense that he doesn’t mean her any harm. When he tries to reach for the watering can, she reaches out and gives his little ear a nibble. He doesn’t know what to make of that and steps back. He just wants to tend to his garden, but she seems more adamant about scoping him out. Take a look at this video He paws at her face a few times, trying to get her out of the way, but she takes it all in stride. Share away, people!

When it comes to rescue stories, you don’t know what might have happened had someone not been lucky enough to pass by at the right moment. Perhaps it’s fate or just luck, but this incredible story led to the saving of not one, but two lives. A newborn baby was abandoned in Obninsk, Russia, and had been left in a cold and empty box in a freezing hallway. Under these kinds of conditions, the baby wouldn’t last very long and would succumb to the temperature. Image Credit: themeowpost But a stray cat came along and curled up beside the frozen infant and kept him warm all night. Now named Marsha, it was as if she understood the baby’s plight and lent a paw to help him out. Image Credit: themeowpost Once they were found and the baby was taken by the paramedics to the hospital, the cat followed them all the way into the emergency room to ensure that the baby was safe. One of the paramedics even stated that the feline seemed worried that they were taking the baby away, and wanted...

Boxers can be large imposing dogs who are known for their drooling. But they’re really cuddle monsters who would do anything for a hug and a kiss. So when this boxer realized that his sibling could now get around and crawl, he was more than excited to celebrate this baby’s achievements. Of course, he doesn’t have a budget to get decorations or a cake, so he provides the next best thing: kisses. It must be wonderful for him that he finally has someone small enough that he can play with instead of watching the baby sleep all day in its crib. He leaps and jumps around in delight, ready to pounce. Take a look at this video! The baby is having a blast too, filling the room with giggles and screams. We can’t wait to see what they’ll do when this baby starts learning to walk. Share away, people!

Bringing home a new baby can be exciting for everyone. But it’s always a gamble as to whether your pet will accept this new addition to the home. Some dogs get very excited and welcoming, while other dogs can become quite depressed now that their owners are focusing their attention on something else. This new father decided to see what his dog would do by strapping a GoPro to his person and recording the whole thing. The pooch is patient as his mom and dad take their time getting the baby out of the care and let them get used to each other in the living room. The dog seems quiet shy about it, but with a little encouragement, he gives the baby a few sniffs, all while his tail is wagging a mile a minute. Take a look at this video! It may be some time before they can actually play together, but this dog definitely has the patience to wait. Share away, people!

A lot of people think that when they introduce their newborn to their dog that the dog will miraculously start loving her form the second she steps in the house! While this is true for some dogs, others just need their space and time and no one could have said, better yet, expressed it better than this dog! His reaction just dropped her jaw! This dog was asked to come over to meet his new baby sister and then the woman took her baby’s blankie and asked her pup to sniff it. Little did she know that her pup had probably just eaten and now he was going to throw up! This is hilarious and you can tell the woman wasn’t expecting this at all! Take a look at this hilarious video below! Did you take a look at that?! Wasn’t the dog’s fault I bet, maybe it was the wrong blankie! Either way, it’s hilarious! Don’t forget to share this post with your friends.

It’s true that your dog will care and love your baby more than you will do, and this story is a proof, because it’s showing how dogs are truly amazing. Meet Bear, the black Labrador, who did the unthinkable to save his baby friend Stanley, who is only a 14 month old boy. Accidently the boy fell into a backyard pool, his mother was not around, and only the dog felt that there is something wrong. The Labrador dog jumped immediately to the pool and lifted the boy up.  When the mother noticed that the dog and the baby weren’t around at the yard, she ran immediately searching for them, she was totally shocked to see her baby in water, but something warmed her heart when she sew Bear lifting her baby. She helped the dog to get out and took them immediately to the hospital to check on both of them. Thankfully no water was in her baby’s lungs. He is ok, and it was all because of Bear, the black Labrador dog. Shockingly we see that when any couple is about to have a baby, sometimes they ...

When this dog named Charlie decided to help himself to his human sister’s stuffed animal, he made her cry, because obviously. That was a pretty rotten thing to do. Charlie seems to realize this pretty quickly, because he attempts to apologize to her by bringing her a series of new toys. The remorse he feels is quite palpable.
