sugar glider

Listen, no matter how good your intentions are, sometimes... weird things happen with your pets. Inevitably, your dog will eat something it shouldn't, your cat will get stuck in a closet, and your might forget your sleeping sugar glider inside your bra when you go to your urologist appointment. At least... @LizerReal did. 

Though she kept everyone updated on what was happening after she realized the little glider was in there in a thread that went viral on twitter, one can only imagine the stress she was under, trying to keep the adorable glider safe. Everything passed just fine, thank goodness, with the glider sleeping through the appointment like nothing happened, and getting back home safely. 

Lesson for everyone - double check that there are no pets in your bra when you leave your house. 

Somehow, Australia managed to get yet another adorable creature. Actually, 2 of them!

Up until last week, it was assumed that there was only one species of the great glider - a possum-sized marsupial. But, as the
Sydney Morning Herald reports, "there are actually three species of greater glider, not one," explaining that the marsupials are "squeezing into tree hollows during the day and at night soaring up to 100 metres through the air on the hunt for its favourite eucalyptus leaves." And yes, Australia did indeed just get cuter. 

Every day, we hear about breaking stories of animals being rescued, and every day, we feel grateful for the rescuers. We try our very best to tell you about these heartwarming stories here, but there are just far too many to keep count of. Some of these rescuers are firefighters, some are shelters, and others are just regular people like us who saw an animal in need and decided to do their best to save them. So, to show some more gratitude, highlight the wonderful people who put in their time and effort to save our furry little friends, and celebrate the animals saved, we made a collection of some of these stories from the past month.
