adorable

It's important to sometimes take a step back and remember how important you are to your pets. We all take them for granted sometimes, forgetting just how much joy and love they bring into our households. We can't help it - we're as used to them living in our house as we're used to our own human family members. 

To warn everyone, tumblr users decided to boost a post that remind everyone how important our pets are to us and we are to our pets. They might be tiny, but they love you so much, and you are their whole world. 

Have your own heartwarming pet story to share? Come to ICanHas Storytime, tell us all about it, and let us all fawn over your adorable fluffball. 

Bring the tissues, everyone, because this one is a tearjerker. Meet Baldr. This poor pup has spent the first year and a half of his life chained up before he got rescued. He never even had a name, and it has left him afraid of trusting people. Thankfully though, his life changed when imgur user, poorschmuck, opened up their hearts and took him in. 

Baldr is now the happiest he's ever been. He's found his forever home, and he knows it. In this home, he will get nothing but love, and as poorschmuck said: he's "[n]ever going to see a chain again." And nothing could make us happier.

Welcomes to yet another Monday, animal lovers! It's time for everyone's favorite time of the week! No, we don't mean the start of the workweek, we mean that it's time to recap the previous week with one of our favorite animal treats: this week's best of the best of all animal tweets.

We know that, as animal lovers, you want to know what's happening in the animal twitter world, but animal twitter is so fast, no one can keep up with it alone. That is why we keep up with it for you, bringing you all of the funniest, most wholesome, weirdest and bestest animal tweets of the week. And of course, if these tweets aren't enough, you can check out our weekly recap of cat twitter. 

It's Monday. Again. Let the deep sighs come out and let the dread settle in. Now that we've got that out of the way, take a deep breath and try to focus on these goodies we've collected just for you. 

Each Monday, we do our best to bring you the best wholesome memes around in order to cheer you up/distract you from the reality of it being Monday, and hopefully setting the right tone for the rest of the week. 

When it comes to memes, animal memes are on a whole other level, and then if you happen to sprinkle wholesomeness to that mix... well, you just get perfection. Wishing you all a wholesome week!

Oh goodness, another Sunday, another week to prepare for, and we. are. tired. And we're not the only ones. 

Twitter user, @andlikelaura, despite seemingly being very tired, had enough energy to bring together a collection of pictures of adorable baby animals yawning. Energy well-spent, we think, considering how cute they are. Cute and tired and adorab- and okay, we're yawning, we caught the yawns from them. Did you?

We wish you a positive and productive week, friends. Try not to yawn in your boss's or teacher's face on Sunday, but if you can't keep it in, we hope you look half as cute as these animals when you do it. 

Sunday already? No worries, lovely readers, because each Sunday we bring you the top 5 most wholesome and adorable cat videos for you to feast upon! And this week is no exception. 

When it comes to selecting the top 5 videos to share with you all, there are certain elements we must take into consideration. First, the level of wholesomeness, second the level of silliness, and third, the level of cuteness (which all videos score very high in because each and every cat is adorable.)

It's a tough job but someone's got to do it! We have you have a wonderful rest of the weekend! 

Oh, 'We Rate Dogs.' where would we be without you? We don't even want to know, more than ever has this Twitter page been delivering the happiness we so desperately want to see in the world. It's honestly no surprise to us that that form of happiness involves animals, animals are pure magic and have the power to bring light even when it feels most dark. 

Dog rates are one of the few pleasures in life and we like to milk it for all that it's worth in order to bring you the happiness they bring us. 

Happy love day everyone! Valentine's day isn't just about the love between you and your partner, it's the day of love and here at 'I Can Has Cheezburger,' animals are a big part of that love. 

Animals can love more fiercely and purely than you'd probably realize. We're here to share that animal love and bond with all of you today. We hope you give your pet some extra love today and be sure to let them know just how much they mean to you! 

Pets with behavioral issues are never easy to take care of, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve the most amazing forever home. What happens though, when you find out that the pet's behavioral issues most likely stemmed from fear rather than anything else? You get the story of Cheddar Kevin the cat.

bythezu, on imgur, shared their kitty's story, and it first broke our hear then put it right back together. Because this poor kitty has been re-homed 5 times since he would pee everywhere. Yet, when he got to bythezu home, he didn't have an issue. It seems that the reason is that the poor guy kept being put into busy home which were simply too scary for him. 

He's happy now though, and will be happy for the rest of his life, and that's all that matters. If you have your own heartwarming pet stories, come share them in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime.

Every person who owns a cat knows that they are an incredibly affectionate animal. They just get a bad rep for some reason with others. People do not understand the ways in which they show love, but that doesn't mean that they don't do it. And Cheezburger users, animal lovers like us, know that better than most. 

So, when our awesome users share their stories on Facebook and make our hearts flutter with love, we only think it's right to share their stories with everyone else as well. And if you're one of our users and have a story worth telling of your own, come talk to us in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime.

Love, love, and nothing but love! That's what you're getting with this list today. Wholesome animal relationship - families and friends that will put a smile on your face and bring warmth to your heart. 

It's the kind of pure love that you can only see in the animal world - love that you know is so genuine and so strong. We can only hope that we, one day, will have a family as loving as those in these pictures for ourselves. And we hope that you're as surrounded by love and as happy as the animals in these pictures. 

Oh boy, oh boy! Another delicious round of fresh doggo snaps? Don't mind if we do! When it comes to snaps, doggo cats are our favorite! Of course, not including cat snaps which are also our favorites. Doggo snaps have a special energy to them, you can feel their sincerity and their purity through the image and we can't help the feeling of love that consumes us. 

Dogs bring forth smiles, this is a known, impossible-to-argue fact. And those smiles fill our dark, cold hearts with something we didn't know we needed. Thank you, doggos of the world! 

We love cats. That's a fact. All of you here who have clicked on this list love cats completely. That means, of course, that you love all cats, not just our cute house kitties, not just the dangerous and awwdorable big cats, but every single criminally underappreciated small wild cat that there is, and today, you're going to be able to give these wild kitty cats all the love that they deserve.

They're dangerous, they're super duper cute. We want to pet each and every one of them even though we know they're dangerous. They're just... so cat-like-looking, and our brains automatically want to pet every single cat that they see. Well, we can love them from afar, at least. 

Now that Earnie is finally happy, having made friends with his humans, their baby, a kitten and even a dog, he has decided that... it's time for a break. He is content to get older, surrounded by love, and simply enjoy the good life... at least for a while. Who knows? Perhaps he'll make a comeback one day, or Mittens will start writing a diary of her own. 

Meowmoirs: getting nostalgic. 

Read Earnie's final diary entry where he looks back on his past, talks about his new friends (and possible successors to his throne) and fills every line he writes with love, love, some shenanigans, and more love. 

Read the previous entry of Earnie training his new kitten here!

You can hop back to the first entry about the day of adoption right here as well. 

Happy Friday, lovely readers! And welcome back to one of our favorite original weekly segments... the newly adopted faces of the week! And each week, it's all the feels! 

Once a week, we search through the web to bring you all the newly adopted faces and their names, it just brings our hearts such joy to see these beautiful animals finally finding their forever home. We would like to take this moment to thank those who have recently adopted a pet, thanks to those who have adopted a pet in the past, and a thank you to those who will be adopting a pet in the future. You are the reason these beautiful animals have such wonderful lives. And, as always, a mega-huge-shout out to those who adopt senior animals or animals in need of some extra care and love. You are our forever heroes, we couldn't thank you enough for providing these animals with a second chance. 

If you recently adopted a pet share an image with us in the comments below or send us a DM on Facebook to be featured on next week's list! You can also share your adoption of I Can Has Cheezburger's new Facebook community group, 'ICanHas Storytime,' a place where everyone can share their newly adopted pet with the entire community!
