Sometimes a video comes around that has it all: a cute dog, a Southern accent, and a primal scream.

Today, we’d like to thank Rose the dog, whose affinity for mud was one of the best things online this week. Rose doesn’t just like mud, either: Rose loves mud.

The internet was blessed with Rose’s presence on Sunday, when Rose’s owner’s niece Sarah-Ashley tweeted a clip of the dog’s muddy exploits. Read more…

Didn’t she always think that she would one day become one of the most powerful people in the world and achieve it by being … nice?

According to Obama’s new memoir, Becoming, she wasn’t always so confident.

Big animals had a big week

It’s been a breakout week for Knickers, the enormous Australian cow — sorry, steer — that is over 6-feet-tall.

I’m so glad big cows are having their long overdue moment in the spotlight, after fat bears robbed the spotlight last summer. Thankfully, even more beautiful animals emerged this week on Twitter in a watershed moment for the big-animal-positivity movement.

Let’s celebrate some of the biggest and the best. Read more…
