2020

Hope you all are ready for some wholesome smiles today! 

We all have been through the madness that was 2020 and know how difficult and challenging that particular year has been. We also know that even though it was an awful year where we couldn't physically be with one another, there were some pros to the pandemic. Mainly, the fact shelters around the world were emptying out due to everyone's need for companionship. So many beautiful animals found their forever home in 2020 and we are forever grateful for it. 

Not only did animals find their forever homes, but certain wonderful people took it upon themselves to help animals in need. This is exactly what Imgur user thesorrycynic did. In a story shared on Imgur, thesorrycynic reveals photos of all the animals she helped foster during 2020 and shared photos of their progress. And yes, it is utterly wholesome. 

Just further proof that love can transform all! 

The commentary below is provided by thesorrycynic. 

2020 will forever be known as the year of the crafties. Seriously, even those who don't craft turned to crafting at some point in 2020. Whether that craft be painting, knitting, or baking bread (yes, baking is a craft), 2020 was the year that all human beings became so boring with existence that we turned to anything we could to make us feel again. 

And crafts really did come through for us in 2020, it gave us a feeling of accomplishment which we all needed. And there's no crafting include that doesn't include animals wreaking havoc, or crafts, especially for animals. And if you did do crafts that didn't include animals... well, let's just say it didn't make our list. 

We know that with the New Year comes new expectations but try to keep the crafties alive! 

This is it, you guys, 2020 is finally over! It's been a long and ruff year, but we made it here, and just for that, it's time to celebrate. This time, we're bringing you the best of the best of this year's dog memes. Because if there's one thing that was a constant good about 2020, it's our dogs, and so we feel that it's only right to say thank you to them - in the form of memes of course. 

We hope you enjoy this collection of the best boys and the best girls, and we hope that this year will be barktastic for everyone. So, give your dog a kiss on the head, say thank you to them, settle in for another 2020 meme recap, and laugh about one of the most challenging years we've had. 

2020 is almost over, guys! And the only way 2021 can go is up. That doesn't mean that eeeeeverything about 2020 was bad. Some things were quite good actually. With people spending so much time at home, we had animals taking the opportunity and running outside on the streets, taking back over nature, and we had super bored people at home making memes, memes, and more memes. 

So... everyone won. Kind of. 

Regardless! We have to look at the positives of this year wherever we find them, and this cat meme list is the culmination of the too much time people had at home. From quarantine memes to your classic cat shenanigan memes, here are the 50 best cat memes of 2020!

Merry floofers to all the dog lovers in the crowd!! We have finally made it to the most wonderful day of the year, and who better to celebrate it with than the most wonderful, festive doggos? All the Christmas cheer and joy has our dogs just as excited as we are about the holiday. They can't help but feel the Christmas cheer exactly like we can't. 

The amazing @dog_rates on twitter has decided to donate up to 30,000$ to @Trupanion - 1$ for every festive dog picture that they get in the reply to their tweet. So, this year, not only are dogs getting festive just for fun, dogs are also getting festive to make other dogs happier! 

Take a look at these amazing festive doggo and have a merry Christmas, friends! May your new year be filled with dogs and joy!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!

Let's be frank, 2020 has been a difficult year to say the least. From rumors of a world war in January to a pandemic to a news cycle that just makes you want to turn off your TV. But... things weren't all bad. All the lockdowns had quite a good result to some portions of the population - namely, animals. 

Suddenly, we were seeing videos and news stories about animals walking around on the empty streets, swimming in empty oceans and clearer skies. Animals absolutely THRIVED this year, and we think that's something worth commemorating and celebrating.

In fact, it had a lot of good, and that good came with all the good boys and girls of the world that helped us more than ever this year! 2020 would've been so much more difficult if we didn't have our furry friends beside us to help comfort and remind us that everything will be OK.

Thank you, 'We Rate Dogs' for making us smile when we didn't want to. Thank you for constantly bringing light and joy into the world -- we adore you!

There are many things that one can say about 2020, but one thing that we could probably all agree on is that we hope 2021 will be a more positive year overall for all of us. Then again, there are some things about 2020 that we can be happy about, and one of them is that with so much time spent at home, this year, dog twitter has been thriving. 

We got to spend so much more time with our puppers, and that's something to certainly be grateful for. And so, with 2020 ending, we figured it would only be right to say thanks to our lovely, lovely doggos for making this insane year a little more pawsitive by bringing together an enormous collection of 100 of the best dog tweets of the year.

And now, 2020 - the doggo version. Let's begin. 

The end of this incredibly crazy year has arrived. Thank goodness. It's been a wild ride - a once in a lifetime kind of year that we will pass on having a second time. But one thing is for sure: cat twitter has been with us all year long, and cats have been the one reliably and constantly good and pure thing on the internet. For that, if for nothing else at all, it's time to say thank you.

So, grab your cats ladies and gentleman and prepare yourselves for the longest, most explosive tweet list you've seen in 2020 - representing all the ups and downs of the year at once. This is the ultimate cat twitter appreciation collection, containing the best 100 cat tweets of the year. 

We wish everyone a better 2021 than 2020, but regardless of what happens next year, we know that cats... cats are always going to be by our sides. 

AHHH!

If 2020 had a face, we'd imagine something along the lines of these blurry screaming pics. The following images may be ones you've seen before, they are highly expressive and most were used as meme templates. Let's face it, screaming animals make for an excellent meme. 

These pics are of a sophisticated new style that really captures a moment in time that expresses the truth. The truth being confusion, anger, more confusion, shock, frustration, and finally, just a lot more confusion. We feel these expressions down to our bones, they have become one with us. 

These are some very proud voters! And, to be quite honest with you, very, very good looking voters at that. It was a tough week full of anxiety but we know we're in good hands when we have voters like the ones below. 

They are trustworthy, reliable, and insanely adorable. In fact, they might not even be all that trustworthy or reliable. We can still count on their cuteness, however! 

Proudness is a common cat attribute and these cats take that attribution and amp it up, leaving us proud of their proudness. 

2020 wasn't ALL bad and we have the animal stories to prove it! Stories and news that brought us so much joy in such uncertain times. We would just like to say that even though 2020 has been so hard on mankind, to see the Earth revive itself has been one of the few benefits of this miss of a year. And then moments within the year in which good things happened to good animals, and the good people who went out of their way to help animals in need. There is still love, kindness, and happiness in this world. 

Be sure to surround yourself with it when times feel rough. It can make all the difference in the world. Wholesome animal stories are here to refresh your soul. If you want more wholesome news, in general, @tanksgoodnews on Instagram provides you nothing but warm feelings.
