We understand how much you adore your pets, Pandas.
If you’re anything like us, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for your furry (or scaly, or feathery) companions.
If it meant they’d be happy and healthy, we’d go to the ends of the globe.

In several cases, though, what we believed was a serious issue turned out to be something absolutely absurd.
Kristin Chirico initiated a fun and serotonin-filled thread on Twitter about incredibly humorous emergency vet costs, and a slew of pet parents responded with their own amusing tales.
Dogs with ‘happy tail syndrome’ are simply dogs who have a joyful tail.
