In my opinion, the more animals, the merrier. So without further ado, I invite you to take a break from all things negative and delve into the world of cuteness.

With all the negativity and stress dominating online spaces, wholesome memes have emerged as a delightful and uplifting phenomenon. Combining humor, empathy, and positivity, these memes aim to brighten people's days and foster a sense of connection.

By often featuring adorable animals, heartwarming stories, inspirational messages, or acts of kindness, they deviate from sarcastic or ironic humor. Wholesome memes counterbalance the negativity that can usually be found on social media platforms.

All this wholesome content can be compared with positive psychology, which focuses on understanding and promoting well-being, happiness, and flourishing in individuals. It highlights positive emotions, character strengths, positive relationships, and personal fulfillment. Sounds familiar, right?

Wholesome memes align closely with the principles of positive psychology. So we could almost say that by engaging with wholesome memes, people are exposed to content that supports their well-being and contributes to a positive psychological state.

People do this when they show cattle (at fairs, etc). The fluffiness isn't just from the shampoo, you use a huuuuge blow dryer and there is hair spray-like stuff you use. And lots of brushing (against the direction the hair grows). Trust me, I'm a bovine, I know these things.

In which country? And are only some breeds made fluffy for the fairs? I only know from the ones here (bavaria) and the most common breeds that they get very short hair cuts to acentuate certain features. Only the tail tip gets some extentions

They must feel so much more comfortable being clean. Makes me feel sorry for the average dirty cow.

So sad their lives are very short and they will end up traumatized before slaughter.

If you made stuffed animals that looked like that, everybody would say they were too unrealistic!

And now for a different perspective. Why? Just why. Doesn't fluffing up a cow's coat like this (as described in the comments below) interfere with the coat's protective function? It does not look like it would shed rain or snow very effectively. Maybe I'm wrong. But I think a cow can be clean and attractive without being floofed.

I'm not saying these puppers aren't amazingly cute but please people be aware how dangerous it is to breed a small dog with a large dog. Shouldn't be done at all. I am a uk kennel club accredited breeder with 20 years experience of breeding and showing or at east I was until I lost my last beautiful girl and can't deal with the heartache of losing her

The best thing is that he goes around Europe Atlantic coasts and now that people know about him, he gets his own floating couch pretty much everywhere.

I keep telling people, when Jesus refers to us as his sheep, it's not a compliment.
