There are few things so simple, and so reassuring that there is peace in the world, as pictures of children with animals. Take this for example

cute
or this,

silly
And what’s better when the animal is even more bizarre than a beluga whale? When it’s miniature!

?
But sadly, there are those pictures of children with animals that convey loss, desperation, and sadness. This is one of those pictures…

dear god
Just imagine…
Hey Dad! Can we take Mr. Snuggles on the tube with us?
- Oh, I’m not sure if that’s such a good idea, kids.
Ahh, come on Dad! We’ll hold him tight. He’ll be safe.
- You know, if we hit a wake…
Please Daddy!
- Cat’s hate water, kids. You have to understand that…
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
- ALRIGHT!
Definitely a “told-ya-so” moment.
About Riley
I'm Riley. One could say that I started this website. It's a continuation of the Ithacan't, a publication created during a semester in Los Angeles to cure boredom and make an effort to entertain students living in Burbank. Needless to say, I like to write, as well as be awesome. But there's more to me than just that.
I like to run; Sometimes in races, but oftentimes just in the trails of Ithaca. On Sundays I might be hungover, because on Saturday night...
I like to drink beer; Natty, especially. Otherwise I'm going to spend money on a craftier beer. Or a bottle of Scotch - which isn't produced in...
America; a place I like to respect and honor.
Occasionally, I write. But there's no photographic evidence of that, so just take my word for it.
Enjoy!
