Dogs on trampolines [bouncy EDM soundtrack]. That is all.
Wait, there is more: Bodega Cats (previously) posted a picture that charmed the internet: This looks like the CD cover for an all-cat, sassy girl band.
Ooh, one more thing: Everyone needs a hug.

I fully realize this is a shitty comment to drop at the top of this thread, but....
I spent the day doing bad vet stuff today. I was out of town for a week and came home Saturday night to a sick cat. My best hope was that she hadn't been eating because she was stressed by my absence, but by the end of today I found out that she has late-stage cancer. It is very not-good.
I say this because when you're dealing with a sick or dying pet you ask yourself "Why do we do this again?" And videos like this are why we do this. Our animal friends bring us joy, and we sometimes provide them joy in the form of trampolines, or fake mouses that rattle, or ear scritches and cuddles. That is why we do this, and yeah, it's worth it, even if their time with us is often too short, and their leaving us is way fucking hard.
So hug your pets, y'all, and then watch some more bouncy dogs.

all-cat, sassy girl band
I love how the drummer is the only one looking to the side. (Come on, you know that's the drummer.)

Bouncing dogs? Bouncy EDM soundtrack? Thank you, I believe that's an opening for me to self-promote.

It got really dusty in here while I was watching the hug video. *sniff*

Base player. Only bass players are cool enough to pretend they're not with the band. Also has the "tried to wear all black to look cool and edgy, but couldn't quite manage it" look.

God, I wish they had trampolines and bouncy houses when I was young. Now I'm 56 and it would be no fun.....

Joh-oh-oh--ohnny where's the mi-i-i-innt sau-au-au-auce? [This is my imitation of a bleating sheep and its burning question]
Beyond that, tnough, the hugging was almost too much for me. Probably it's just that I need a hug myself. Where's Jasper?
