Very nice! I'm in a mellow mood myself, but these animals are just too cute.

I am beagle, hear me howl.

I am pleased to be thru this day of very bad weather.
And hungry. Is hungry a mood?

I was in a good mood before, but this post has made my mood "got to jump."

I'm in a bad mood, needing some spiritual guidance,feeling sorry for myself. I'm tired and just chillin' because i'm feeling cool, I'm cold and shivery. I could use a hug,and I"m needing some serious courage and I could use a helping hand. Thanks for asking, junk1 rated

Glad you enjoyed, guys. I'll look for stressed and hungry. But, um, 7 comments, 4 ratings? Who doesn't love me?....

Your animals are sooo much cuter than Frank Luntz!

I am currently definitely the wet, white cat. GODDAMNED OUTSOURCING PRICKS!!!

My teen daughter was just showing me how to embed video on my post. As a result, my mood meter plunged dramatically.. The little darling has a wee issue with being patient with me when teaching me ANYTHING that involves techno ability.

Eventually, I successfully emdeded the video, so she can go suck an egg.

After viewing these pics, coupled with my techno success, I'm feeling pretty darn good.

Can't believe the cat and the German Shepherds!!! My beagle can NEVER see a cat and just sit there. The beagle's mood would be extreme delight and excitement. Terror would be the cat's mood. Enjoyed the post.

@skwjcw: that's why they're called german shepherds.

sally, i'm either that last, happy cat or that feelin' a little sorry pup, depending on several things. nice mood-altering piece, though...

I think I feel like the kitten passed out in the bowl. but my dinner's almost ready and I think I'll feel better after I eat!

I'm all about the hugs! Gimme hugs, hugs and more hugs! Cure to most anything!
Great photos!

OMG Sally! I've got the windows open. Hope the neighbors don't hear me cackling! They'll think I'm crazy. Oh, that's right, they already think I'm crazy. Very funny!

Michael Rodgers

Well, I certainly feel better now.

Sally, Thanks so much for this one! I really needed it. After my post yesterday, I was wiped, and this is so much fun. I am torn between the "spiritual-lift" kitty, and the "Don't worry be happy" Kitty. My favorite is lulcats, "I ez stuck in yoga!"

C Berg

I've been in the worst mood for the last few days! I feel better after looking at those pictures, but I suspect I won't feel completely better until I crank out this next dissertation chapter.

All of the above.

And so rated. I don't want the SallyPolice to come knockin'
on my door. "Ok Dan'l. Book her!"

I'm the beagle puppy (damn this *&%$ cold!), the Polar Bear in need of a hug, (same reason) and the kitten in the snow (same reason, again.)

For the rest, I'm better off than a lot of people on OS who are facing scary economics head-on, so I'll try not to complain (too much.)

Just what we need,perhaps the 'cold and shivery' one,

My god, I just love that wet cat. She's soooo mad! And those good German Shepards, just waiting for their instructions... adorable post - how can one be in a bad mood after this?? thanks Sally!

I'm the kitten in the snow. I'm currently huddled next to a space heater, which I have to turn on and off every 30 seconds. Broiling with it on, freezing with it off, no happy middle ground.

Just plain tired. :-D

Thumbed for fun. And indeed, it's a fun post that was sorely needed. Thanks for the boost, Sally.

I am so glad everybody's enjoyed this. My work here is done.

Wait! Actually, serious post coming up which does not contain the word "slut."

Meantime, glad my pals are cheering up my pals. :)

Heading to the kitchen for a glass of wine now....sure to be chillin' in no time;-)
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to vent! Have a nice evening.

I'm a combo of Bad Mood Kitty and Spiritual Guidance Kitty. And I still haven't figured out how to rate a posting so I guess I need a dose of Courageous Kitty to brave the unknown tech territory.
