People Are Sharing Pictures Of Snakes Wearing Hats And It’s Too Adorable
Snakes are not inherently cuddly. In fact, there is nothing immediately charming about snakes. Perhaps it’s a lack of fur or the flicking tongue, but for the most part, snakes are a bit scary. But then you throw a hat on them and they suddenly become so endearing to look at. To be honest, going through some of the pictures on social media makes me less apprehensive about snakes – but only if they’re wearing a hat. The headwear is key because there is something so cute and charming about a snake in a hat. And below, are so...
People Are Putting Out A Separate Laptop For Their Cat To Lay On While Working From Home
Every cat owner knows there is one thing that a cat can never resist: sitting on a keyboard when you’re working. Whether you’re working on a laptop or a desktop there is something about you being hard at work that a cat cannot seem to resist. Even when you try to do it quietly and in secret, it’s like they’ve got a radar for when you’re on your computer.

Artist Creates Comics That Accurately Depict Life With Pets
There is something quite unique about living with pets. Everyday is an adventure and a lesson in unconditional love. It can sometimes be hard to describe to non-pet owners the exact amount of joy that they bring to our lives, but there is one artist who is illustrating the adorable day-to-day moments of living with pets. Billie is an artist as well as the proud fur mama to both a cat and a dog. As an artist she uses her skills to illustrate life with her pets, and she’s complied them all into a very touching and very realistic comic...
Cat Receives A Complaint Letter From HR For Disrupting His Parents Who Work From Home
2020 was a historic year for many reasons. But perhaps one of the biggest headlines to come out of 2020 was the COVID-19 pandemic which saw many of us have to adjust to a life spent mostly indoors in our homes. Personally, I love working from home. It has many upsides for many people – mostly getting to spend time with loved ones, including our furry family members. And while working from home with pets can be a blessing, it can also be a curse when you’re trying to get work done but they just won’t leave you alone. Every...
Dog Follows The Kids To School And Ends Up In The Principal’s Office
Dogs have an unwavering loyalty to their families. This is one of their many fine attributes, and one of the reasons why they are often referred to as being “man’s best friend.” But sometimes, their loyalty can get them into trouble. For one Labradoodle, he ended up getting sent to the principal’s office because of it! Sandy has been with Karen Manthey’s family since puppyhood. Because of this, he has a very deep sense of love and loyalty for all members of his family, particularly the Manthey children. Photo:...
Bernese Mountain Dog And Otter Are Best Friends That Do Everything Together
The world is made up of all kinds of adorable animal friendships. But perhaps one of our favorites happens to be Heidy and Loulou. Heidy is a Bernese Mountain Dog, and her best friend happens to be an adorable little otter named Loulou. In a very precious video, the two are seen playing together and it just melts our hearts! Their behavior in the video is pretty standard of their friendship. Heidy and Loulou love to play around and chase one another – that is until Loulou has had her fill and jumps back into the river. Photo:...
Couple Opens A Food Truck Just For Dogs
Food trucks are a fun dining experience. And they’re not just enjoyable for humans, dogs can also enjoy a tasty treat or two thanks to Woofbowl. Woofbowl is a food truck that caters entirely to dogs. And the best part is these doggie foods are totally organic and non-GMO, plus they are free from preservatives or artificial flavors. But perhaps the coolest thing about these foods – which are also high in protein – is that they look exactly like replicas of human food, only they’ve been tailored to meet a dog’s...
Cat Becomes Insta-Famous For His Stunning Green Eyes
All cats are beautiful creatures. But there are some who have taken to social media to show off their natural beauty and become much-loved pet-fluencers. Of these pet-fluencers is the stunning Pickley. The three-year-old Russian Blue has gained lots of followers and admirers for his strikingly green eyes. Photo: Instagram/pickley_the_cat Pickley first caught people’s interest after an appearance on ESPN when he was shown to have quite the athletic ability when a slow-motion video of him jumping after a toy was played for the audience....
Dog Born With ‘Swimmer Puppy Syndrome’ Miraculously Learns To Walk
Life started out as quite the uphill battle for a little Boston Terrier named Mick. He was born with Swimmer Puppy Syndrome, a condition that is also called flat-pup syndrome. The occurrence isn’t common, but it can occur in some dogs, as well as cats. It is usually noticeable in animals just a few weeks after being born. SPS is a developmental deformity that will lead to the suffering animal’s limbs becoming twisted outward as they grow, meaning that they are unable to walk or even stand up. Instead, they’re in a sort of...
