Baby Bear Throws Incredibly Cute Tantrum When Mom Leaves Him in a Tree
Baby Bear Throws Incredibly Cute Tantrum When Mom Leaves Him in a Tree originally appeared on PetHelpful. Make sure you have your sound turned up for this one, because you'll definitely want to hear everything this baby bear has to say. He is throwing the tantrum to end all tantrums because his Mom stuck him safely up a tree for a few minutes, and that's not what he wants! Proving bears have more in common with toddlers than we ever thought possible, this baby bear yells, and complains, and stops just shy of stomping his feet. He reminds me of my once-upon-a-time 3-year-old, and the time I wouldn't buy him that super expensive, age-inappropriate Transformer that he really wanted. Take a look! Wow! Is he mad! Viewers absolutely recognize the toddler vibes he's throwing off. Peaceblast3r said, 'I think I saw that kid at McDonald's earlier,' while Tommie Lee pointed out, 'Looks like timeout is tough for anyone.' Jakeandrew points out that, 'Somewhere close by, mama bear is rolling her eyes, and telling herself he just needs to cry it out.' Genxfromtex notes that, 'You know momma is just a few yards away gathering breakfast and muttering about her child embarrassing her in front of the world.' LOL! What Is This Baby Bear Yelling About? Bears make sounds to communicate, and, as you guessed, this little tyke is using the bawling, growling, and moaning to tell Mom that he's distressed and nervous and wants out of the tree growls are also a warning to anyone in the woods that they are too close, and better back off. The National Parks Service warns that 'If you hear them while you're out in the park, back away calmly (never run), leave the immediate area, and give the bear more space.' This site has bear vocalizations explained, and let me tell you, the adult bear's growl is not as endearing as the baby bear, and not something I'd ever want to hear! I'm sure the baby had forgotten all about his trauma exactly 36 seconds after Mom retrieved him from the tree, and all is well now. But Mom is probably *still* rolling her eyes.

Who Needs Walls, Anyway? Here's How to Make One Room Into Many
Color can also be a powerful tool to define areas in a small room without introducing physical divisions, said Thomas Pellerin and Marion Richard, architects with Parisian firm Studio Bravo, in an email interview. You can achieve this effect by painting a wall or two — or even a ceiling — in their own hue. (There's a term for a bold version of this: color drenching, or the practice of covering an entire zone, from walls to baseboards to ceilings, in a single color.) The tiny entryway in the apartment of designer Artem Kropovinsky is both elevated and clearly defined by the addition of robin's egg blue paint and larger-scale artwork in coordinating frames. Julia Kropovinska Wirecutter staffer Leslie Grisdale initially painted these walls black as a decorative choice but realized later that the color blocking helped to designate her husband's home-office area. Leslie Grisdale/NYT Wirecutter The tiny entryway in the apartment of designer Artem Kropovinsky is both elevated and clearly defined by the addition of robin's egg blue paint and larger-scale artwork in coordinating frames. Julia Kropovinska You can achieve a similar effect with wallpaper. 'Every space, no matter how big or small, deserves to have a special moment,' small-space interior designer Shavonda Gardner said when we interviewed her for our guide to removable wallpapers. Pattern and color can have a big impact in tighter spaces such as hallways or mudrooms, she said, 'particularly because those spaces get neglected.' Designers (and old friends of mine) General and Cristina Casañas-Judd of Me and General Design know about small-space living: They raised their two daughters in an 1,100-square-foot Brooklyn apartment. Frequent entertainers, they took an otherwise underutilized nook in their home and transformed it into a bar area by lining the small cutout space in contrasting graphic wallpaper. Wallpaper transforms this awkward cutout into a striking bar nook in the Brooklyn home of designers General and Cristina Casañas-Judd. Will Ellis Like wallpaper or paint, wall texture and material can help delineate spaces. Designer and author Oyin Antwi has attached wooden panels to the wall in several projects featured in her book Helping You Love Your Space, No Matter the Size . These sorts of slats are versatile (they come in a variety of colors from light wood to walnut to gray), widely available (from retailers such as Home Depot and Wayfair), and suitable for multiple uses, whether as a corner dining moment or on opposing walls of a living room zone. Wooden panels delineate this dining area by Via Asha Design. In addition to their visual impact, the panels absorb sound. Via Asha Design But you don't have to spring for pricey paper or crack open a can of Benjamin Moore. You can also group decor, books, and other items you already have to create, say, a blue zone, a green corner, or a neutral area. Subtle, intentional decorating choices like this can give a small space personality as well as a sense of order. A Parisian bedroom is drenched in International Klein Blue by Studio Bravo. Bertrand Noel This living area, in a room also used for dining, takes a subtler approach to blue-themed decor to divide the space. Other small-space techniques pictured: a room divider to section off an entryway, and a sofa used to zone. Katie Okamoto/NYT Wirecutter A Parisian bedroom is drenched in International Klein Blue by Studio Bravo. Bertrand Noel Employing some of these strategies can help even a small, multifunctional room feel intentional and more relaxing. If you're working from home, designating a work zone distinct from off-work areas may improve that ever-elusive work-life balance. And when you're living with others, having established zones can reduce the feeling of being on top of one another. Using design techniques to organize your space can help you flourish — even within the smallest footprint. This article was edited by Maxine Builder, Catherine Kast, and Katie Okamoto. Katie Okamoto contributed reporting. We talked to designers and professional organizers, and spent dozens of hours testing and researching, to find the best ways to style and organize small entryways. To find the best multifunctional decor to maximize space in a small bedroom, we consulted four design experts and tested gear in a tiny apartment. After years spent researching, testing, and talking to experts, we've rounded up the cutest items that maximize storage and keep small bathrooms clutter-free. After months of researching and testing removable wallpapers, we found the three best peel-and-stick papers with endless patterns to choose from. In this guide we highlight some of our favorite sofas we've tested and things to look for before you commit to buying one. After researching dozens of curtains and trying many at home, we have favorites in a wide variety of colors, fabrics, and prints. Outfitting a small home takes some planning, but the right gear can make all the difference. Here are our best recommendations for small spaces. We tested dozens of rugs and found several different styles to suit a variety of price ranges and preferences. We researched hundreds of floor lamps and tested dozens more in homes and offices.

Golden Retriever Gets DIY Bath After Missed Grooming Appointment and He's Offended
Golden Retriever Gets DIY Bath After Missed Grooming Appointment and He's Offended originally appeared on PawNation. It's weird how some dogs absolutely love playing in the water—but then act like the sky is falling when it's time for a bath. They will literally run and jump in a swimming pool all day long, but when Mom brings out the hose for a quick scrub session, they instantly fall into a depressed state. One pet mom shared a video on TikTok of her downtrodden Golden Retriever receiving a quick backyard bath—and without any context, it would be easy to be concerned about him. Chester's broken heart vibe is strong, and it's easy to think he's in an uncomfortable situation. Well, it's all an act! He's just upset that he didn't get to go to the groomer for his usual spa treatment. Unfortunately, this Golden Retriever is such a busy pup that his vet appointment and spa day overlapped—causing Mom to reschedule with the salon. Due to his overall stinky predicament, it was necessary for Mom to take matters into her own hands. The clip is a short one that starts with Chester being doused with a garden hose and ends with his head wrapped in an adorable babushka. The fluffy, four-legged drama king is going to live another day—despite the backyard bath torture he was subjected to.
