They deserve memes the most

This story has some serious Joe Dirt energy

This week, breaking news hit everyone who cares about animals, and this one is a doozy. I don't know if you all remember the March 2020 Netflix hit series Tiger King. I know I certainly don't, at least not the details. Only the big plot points stick out in my head, and even those are a little fuzzy (fuzzy like the tigers, am I right???). One of the accusations that stick out in my mind is that Carol Baskin fed her dead husband's remains to her tigers. I, like so many millions of people with stu…

Jeff rescues wounded raccoons and gives them a safe haven to recover in, then releases them back into the wild, where the cute critters belong.

One of the only things that I am terrible at remembering is drama, especially somebody telling me about the drama in their life. For some reason, my brain does not want me to hold on to any of that; honestly, I think I'm better for it. There is little t…

Think of how much Halloween candy they must steal...

Someone said drama and attention?

Raccoons are really special. And fortunately for me, they happen to be one of the only “wild” animals that makes its presence known in my New York City neighborhood. I live near a gigantic cemetery, so many opossums, skunks, and raccoons call the backyards here home. But the trash pandas are my favorite. Why? They're way cuter than opossums (sorry) and a lot less likely to attack than a scared skunk. They're also more likely to interact with me and my neighbors in the backyard. Or e
