Meet Ru! She's a miniature dachshund who has gotten so round, due to pregnancy, that Twitter users can't get enough of that belly! 

Twitter user, @tiniebear, shared the photos of her pregnant dog and it didn't take long for the tweet to go viral! Other users began to chime in, sending pics of their pups sending love, or just pics that hold the same energy. But we'll never not jump on the chance to share as many doggos as we possibly can! 

Congrats to mama Ru and to @tiniebear! We love that belly, but can't wait for the pupdate on the puppies! 

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This week's spotlight goes to Grumpy King Louis!

First things first, it must be known that King Louis is an entire mood and that mood has captured the depths of our souls. 

Louis is an adorable Persian cat who was born on 8/15/2003. He's got a unique look that really contributed to his stardom -- his grumpy mug! 

When it comes to grumpiness, King Louis may actually out-grump the Grumpy Cat -- Tardar Sauce. 

Don't believe us? See for yourself below. 

All hail Grumpy King Louis! We are quite certain anything we offer will be regarded with disdain and we're OK with that. 

Remember Caturday? Seems like so long ago...

Enjoy the cat-filled boost! 

After all, what are big sisters for?

In the adorable now viral video (uploaded by Reddit user u/YourMumWasHere), you can see a kitten playing with a toy when it suddenly gets stuck up on the fridge. After trying to reach for it, the kitten has decidedly given up... that is, until big sister arrives! The older cat "comes to the rescue" and helps retrieve the stuck toy and walks off nonchalantly.

Pretty bad-ass move, big sis!

And this little beauty below has quite the lovely transformation!
