Leave it to George Stephanopoulos to ask the tough questions.  On ABC’s “This Week,” George helped move along the puppy speculation by asking President Elect Obama directly what his family is thinking.  The President Elect said that they’re pretty much decided on either a labradoodle (almost as good as a goldendoodle, Cute Animal Zoo’s preference) or a Portuguese water dog.  This comment automatically sent “Portuguese water dog” into the list of hot new Google searches.  Since I wasn’t familiar with the dog either, I started poking around the tubes and that’s where I came across this.  Sure, it’s a commercial, but are you surprised I’d like it?  I didn’t think so.

To be clear, by favorite thing is cute fuzzy paws slipping on shiny surfaces.  Doing a sliding trick is something else all together.  But admittedly this is pretty cute.  I especially like the splayed paws and the “Do you approve of me?” eyes.  Enjoy!

Around Christmas, there were some rabbit tracks in the snow by my parents house.  They’ve had wild rabbits show up and eat their flowers from time to time, but in the snow you could see very clearly that the rabbit hopped up toward our house and when it reached the driveway, it slipped on the ice beneath the fresh powder.  I don’t have a video of that to show you, but I thought you’d like to know that even when I’m on vacation, I’m willing to forensically investigate possible cases of cuteness.  And since I can’t show you that bunny slipping, maybe you’ll like this one.  My second favorite thing about this video is how after the fall he tries to play it cool like nothing happened.  Enjoy!

If you’re supposed to be working but you’re browsing cute animal videos instead (kinda like I’m doing right now), this won’t provide you with an adequate break.  But if you appreciate brevity, I know you’re going to enjoy The Bunny Slide.  It’s like bunny-on-slippery-surface meets gravity.  Enjoy!

One of my all time favorite things is cute animals slipping on hard wood floors.  This is a small example, but one that’s hard to resist.  White Bunny does it at the beginning, grey bunny waits until 17 seconds in.
