Feeling grumpy and sad. Please send pictures of flowers, cute non-human animals, or stars.

@annaleen I recently stumbled over this old photo of Lily helping me play video games.

@beep oh yeah that is some good blep help
@J_W_C I don't understand how noses can be so adorable
@annaleen Lumi the collie hanging out with her longtime bestie, Flicka the sheltie. Being cute-nonhumans is their distinct specialty. 
@annaleen Masdevallia orchids in my backyard.
@annaleen My puppy asleep at my feet while I was working.
@SylviaFysica the softest thing I've ever seen
@annaleen hope your day turns around
@Wisel those are really good fluffs
@annaleen I wasn't sure what you might like, so I decided to go with options from some of my immediate animal friends. Hope this helps and is not at all weird or anything.
@sentientsponge all of these creatures are absolute icons
@annaleen Also, my daughter and I were just walking the dog in the rain and discovered some toady friends. I can't speak for anyone else, but I think toads are delightful and they always make me smile when I see them.

@annaleen Pippa says hi!

(Loved Automatic Noodle, by the way. I did, that is. Not Pippa.)

@bodhipaksa : omg I swear I know a dog that looks just like this. What is their story?

@offline_and_free She’s a Chihuahua mix rescue from Texas. She’s very proud of being 2% Great Pyrenees! She likes to walk around on her hind legs, and when she does I call her Pippa the Wonder Dog. Her other nickname is Pippalicious. Her hobbies are parkour, snuggling, and being naughty. Thank you for asking!

What’s the story with the other dog you know?

@annaleen at least two out of three.
Depending on who you ask, Darla might also be a star
@annaleen cool ones from my neighborhood a couple months ago
@annaleen have one of these, he really wanted chin scritchies.
@5 reminds me to give my silles some chin scritches
@annaleen a very unexpected broad bean plant at the edge of a shopping centre car park. Hope you’re feeling better soon.
@annaleen please enjoy coziness
@annaleen Oh no!! Please enjoy this photo of my senior pup under some trees in our backyard post-zoomies. She’s 14 now and it gives me endless joy that she still zoomies despite the arthritis and fused disks. The backdrop is not quite flowers, but it’s still plants πŸ˜† Hope you feel better soon!
@annaleen the spikes didn't protect the flower from the snow, but it is still here and alive…
@annaleen We have some brand new fuzzy cows near us. You would be surprised at just how loud they can moo already!
@jamesthomson that is some serious fur ... I love them
@annaleen I don't know which flower varieties these are, but they're in my friends yard and helped ease my grump this morning so offering as a contribution to your collection
@ScribblersEmporium those frogs!!!

@annaleen

The sun-warmed bricks provide shelter and the elevated temperature helps reduce chitrid fungus infections.

Fun and healthy.

@Astronomy_A2Z it's such a good galaxy

@annaleen After a possible predicted merger between the Milky Way Galaxy and the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy.

Andromeda Galaxy: "Was I a good galaxy?"

Universe: "No. You were the best."

@annaleen

May I recommend the Astronomy Picture of the Day mirror account?
