Some cute and silly animal pics....

I meant to do that: A pigeon eats itself into a hole at New York's Rockefeller Center



There are two kinds of dogs in the world -- those that have a ball and those that don't and wish they did. Is it just us or is Scooter grinning at little Sophia's distress during their walk on Nob Hill, San Francisco?




When he wakes up, I'm outta here: Tobby the golden retriever takes a catnap in Red Oak, Iowa.




Law of the jungle: A visitor drizzles milk to starving bears at the almost deserted Beijing Zoo. The zoo has been devastated by a slump in visitors due to SARS fears and says it can't afford to feed the animals. The result: Big cats like lions and tigers are attacking each other.



Cat-astrophe averted: Firefighter Dave Wood calms two victims rescued from a house fire in Niskayuna, N.Y.

3. Wonderful pics!

The one with the zoo is so damn sad and depressing... but what a range of moods captured by these animals.

6. They brought a smile to my face this morning.

And a smile is a great way to start the day. Thanks!

"Can't afford" to feed? It seems like they can't afford not to feed. Laws regulating the care and treatment of animals are a good thing.
