If This Doesn't Make You Feel Warm & Fuzzy, You Are Dead On The Inside
Please endure the required 20 second commercial before the main course. Then it's only a 2 minute clip. You can do it. I know you can. I seen you do it.
It kind of reminds me of the friendship I have with a certain blogger.

How sweet.
So you and this other blogger....
I'm not having much success picturing you laying on your back, tail wagging, having your belly rubbed by an unmanicured, ashy, dry-skinned foot...
I'll stop there.

Can't. Stop. Laughing. I am giddy as a little girl to see the response.

Very sweet. If only gay men could learn to treat each other in the same manner.

So does that make you the elephant or the doggy?

That is one of the cutest things I've seen in a long long time :-)

So there is another blogger out there that is "big as an elephant" or has a schlong the size of an elephant's trunk? Hmm... that narrows down the mystery considerably!

Saw another story on Nat'l Geographic about an older elephant rescued from a small zoo in Texas that was closing down. The elephant was transported to this same (I think) sanctuary in Tenn. and on arrival was put into a segregated area of a barn where the other elephants slept. At night the other elephants returned to the barn and one younger elephant smelled the new arrival and started becoming very animated, and pressed up against the bars separating the newbie trying to reach her. This went on for a few days, until the staff did research and found that the two elephants had once been together some 20 years prior at a circus, where the older one had taken on the younger one (then a orphan baby) in some sort of adoptive mother/daughter relationship. When they met up again at the sanctuary the younger one instantly remembered the older one. For the rest of their time together at the sanctuary they were inseparable companions, as described in your clip. These are amazing creatures. Makes you think sometimes, that PETA makes a good point. (Sniff, wipe tear).
