Some adorable animal antics to brighten your day

(CBS News) There are many things to chase after in this life of ours. Some of us chase after love. Some chase after power. Some chase after wealth.  And then, every so often, there's some of us that chase after a little red dot. Hammie the French Bulldog knows what's up.

Awwwwww... look how happy that little red dot makes Hammie! Who needs love and money when you've got a laser pointer to give you all that you need out of life.

And because this blogger is playing catch-up after a nice, relaxing vacation, I'm going to up the adorable ante of this post with a video that takes the expression "an elephant in the room" a bit too literally. Check out an elephant who decides to crash a pool party in the video below.
