The post Adorable Pup Princess Poppy Finds Viral Fame With Her Bedtime Routine appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>Poppy was adopted by her owner Vanessa Nelson in 2018, and she became her loyal companion in the years to come. Nelson describes her as her best friend and her “soul dog”, and her unconditional love is one of the reasons why she decided to spoil Poppy and give her everything she’s ever wanted.
Nelson enjoyed Poppy’s quirky antics so much that she decided to share her adventures on social media. The viral “bedtime routine” videos she’s now known for first started as a joke, when Nelson put an extra sleep mask on her furry friend and decided to keep going after seeing how much Poppy enjoyed it.
Three years later, Poppy has a very strict nighttime routine, which involves wearing a mask, being tucked in under the covers, and going to bed around 7:30 to 8 p.m.
“I think she’s particular about her routine because she’s a boxer and they have such needy personalities, and also because I spoiled her so now she’s used to the good life and doesn’t wanna go back! I do it for her every night, and if I’m away, she will stay with grandma and grandpa, who will do her bedtime ritual for her,” Nelson told People.

]]>Tsoooki is a talented illustrator based in Paris, but the name of her brand is actually inspired by her Hungarian roots. “Tsoooki” comes from “cukor”, the Hungarian word for sugar, and it’s a love letter to her grandmother, who used to greet all of her grandchildren with this adorable nickname.
Tsoooki is sharing her illustrations with over 50,000 people on Instagram, and she hopes they’ll transport everyone who sees them into a cozy and magical world.
“Painted by hand in my home in Paris, each of my products attempts to tell a story or to describe a magical scenery. Inspired by nature, animals, nostalgia and fantasy, I try to infuse my illustrations with meaning and to allow the viewer to wander (and wonder!)” she writes on her official website.
Tsoooki finds inspiration at every turn, but her cat Soja is definitely her biggest muse. Most of her illustrations are inspired by her feline companion, and they show cats doing what they do best – relaxing to the max!

]]>Poppy was born in early December and it didn’t take her long to become the biggest star of Metro Richmond Zoo in Richmond, Virginia. According to the zoo director Jim Andelin, more than 116,000 votes from 165 countries were cast in the pool to choose her name, and Poppy managed to narrowly beat Hammie Mae.
“It was close. We even thought that maybe we should combine the names and call her Poppy Mae. But we decided that we’ll let the votes stand as they may, and we were glad that the winner won not only the total vote, but also won the in-person vote here at the zoo, as well as Virginia and the U.S,” Andelin told Today.
Poppy’s mom Iris and sisters Violet and Petunia have also been named after flowers. They were moved to other zoos after growing up in an attempt to continue contributing to the conservation of their species. Pygmy hippopotamus are native to West Africa, and less than 2,500 mature individuals remain in the wild, which makes Poppy’s birth a true miracle.

]]>Herrera lives on a farm with his wife and four sons, and he’s no stranger to taking care of all sorts of different animals. Bruce was just three days old when Herrera adopted him, and he believes that the decision to bottle-feed him for the next 80 days helped Bruce develop his friendly nature.
Bruce moo-ed his way to stardom after Herrera decided to welcome him into his home, but it was always clear he was destined for great things. His owner told People that he had a personality from the start, and his curious and energetic nature inspired him to open the doors of his home to Bruce.
Herrera is happy to see how much laughter and joy his videos are bringing to people, but he’s only able to do this because he’s experienced with handling cattle and doesn’t recommend it to anyone else.
“I wouldn’t recommend a house cow. They’re just so big and kind of dangerous, like stepping on your feet and most of them aren’t friendly like Bruce and they’ll headbutt you like my other steer. They need to have room to graze and pasture and just to be happy,” he told 13 Wham ABC.

]]>The post Adorable Baby Hippo Moo Deng is the Internet’s Latest “It Girl” appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>Moo Deng was born back in July, and her zookeeper Atthapon Nundee made it his personal mission to make her famous. He started sharing adorable videos that perfectly captured the baby hippo’s adorable spirit, but even he was taken by surprise by how popular she would become, not just in Thailand, but all around the world.
Two months later, Moo Deng was already a bonafide superstar, with her own crypto coin, fan art, toys, and merchandise. She even got her own sketch on Saturday Night Live, and her enormous popularity inspired the Khao Kheow Open Zoo to share a 24/7 live stream online.
Moo Deng’s name means “bouncy pork” in Thai, and it was chosen in an online poll by over 20,000 voters. Many of them even came to see her in person, after her popularity attracted thousands of new visitors to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo. The increase in visitors eventually prompted the zoo authorities to introduce new safety measures, including the five-minute limit on visits to Moo Deng.

]]>Hardesty is a UPS driver based in New Orleans, whose job suddenly became much more interesting once he was moved to a younger neighborhood. He started running into many friendly pets who couldn’t wait to greet him, and he wanted to commit their encounters to memory.
He took a selfie with one of the local dogs while delivering parcels, and the photo quickly blew up on social media. After seeing how much people enjoyed it, Hardesty decided to keep taking more photos, and the dog owners didn’t seem to mind it one bit – and neither did his bosses.
“I’ve always tried to be very humble about it because I understand the attention it brings and I’ve always been a hard-working guy so management has never had any problems with it as long as I get the work done,” he told Bored Panda.
Hardesty met many animals on the job, from pigs to chickens, but dogs remain his favorites, especially rescues because he has huge respect for people who give dogs a second chance.

]]>What’s even more impressive is that they look very realistic, even matching the real-life size ones. Big or small, all kinds of insects are a part of his growing portfolio. The artist starts by creating the skeleton and adds the details with translucent craft paper. The result is incredible, looking like real wings that reflect light.
Saitoh doesn’t exactly try to get every detail perfect: “Since we are not making specimens or replicas, we prioritize the impression, characteristics, and sensation of appearance rather than rigorously measuring the dimensions and creating proportions accurately,” his website reads.
He enjoys leaving some room for imagination, so that the people seeing his art can fill the gaps themselves. He also believes that “it does not make much sense to create details that cannot be discerned by the human eye,” since his goal is for people to see his work in person.

]]>Contrary to popular belief, Brisket doesn’t actually appear in Twisters, but he was a major fixture on the film’s set. Powell adopted him while working on this summer blockbuster and even took a weekend off filming to adopt him after stumbling upon his photo on Instagram.
After getting a green light from the Labelle Foundation to adopt Brisket, he brought him from Los Angeles to Oklahoma, and everyone on the Twisters set took great care of him.
“He was crate training and all that stuff, so he was crying through the night. I felt like literally a new father, where I wasn’t sleeping while shooting this movie. But Brisket would just kick it with every department head, and he would sit in my chair and just sleep,” Powell told Entertainment Weekly.
Despite not being a part of the Twisters cast, Brisket became somewhat of the film’s mascot, appearing alongside Powell during interviews, red carpet events, and photoshoots.

]]>Andraka’s illustrations feature drawings of animals with unexpected and surreal twists. For example, he imagines that Toucans’ big, colorful beaks grow on trees, and the bird simply picks them up once they fall to the ground.
In another illustration, he imagines Armadillo as an opossum who got himself armor.
In a recent chat with Metal Magazine, Andraka shared that there is no specific message he aims to convey with his surreal works, although he does enjoy learning how people interpret them.
“Many of the ideas are just something I thought was weird, unsettling or silly and wanted to share. I also enjoy seeing how different people interpret each piece. Some people resonate with specific animals or objects that carry on a meaning of their own,” Andraka explained.
