dogs

Pets. How different our lives are when we have a loving animal with us. You may not even realize it, but little things in your life are altered thanks to your adorable companion. One artist decided to explore what life would be like without a dog, and the exact same scenario with a dog. To take in the pup or say, "no, thank you," that is the question and will lead this character down two different timelines. The result? It's as clear as night and day.

The talented artist behind these powerful illustrations is Ademar Vieira. Ademar Vieira is a journalist, screenwriter, and illustrator. He works in an animation studio in Brazil and since 2018, he produces comic books in partnership with other illustrators and alone. In 2020, his comic strips, which talk about social, environmental, and personal issues, went viral in Latin America and other parts of the world.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and these illustrations convey those thousand words.

The dog is here to stay for now, and Earnie doesn't understand why and doesn't like it. He does still like the cuddles with the dog though. He just misses alone time with his humans.

Happy Friday, beautiful readers! And welcome back to one of our original (and favorite) weekly segments -- the newly adopted faces of the week! There's truly nothing more heartwarming than seeing these lovely animals find their forever loving home! It simply makes our hearts burst all over the floor, and we have no intention of cleaning it up. 

We would like to take a moment to thank all those who have recently adopted, all those who have adopted in the past, and those who will adopt in the future. These animals have a loving home, thanks to you. And a huge, mega heartfelt thank you to all those who have adopted a senior animal or an animal that may require a bit more tender love and care. You are, as always, our forever heroes. 

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! 

Join us in spreading the love! 

Is there anything in this world more precious than animals? The answer is no. When it comes to delivering the feels, and the happy-haps, no creature on Earth can do a better job than animals. Not only are they adorable, which they are, but they can also be smart, and they can definitely be loving, and mostly, they can be funny. They are the entire package. 

A package that we have decided to gift wrap for you and place a giant red bow on top! That's right, folks, we have gathered here the cutest and silliest animal gifs that are currently circulating the web! Animal gifs are always a gift. 

You may unwrap your gift! Enjoy!

It's time for your weekly dog meme treat, and this time it is full of the naughtiest, silliest doggos that seem to just want to get into trouble. Of course, that doesn't change how much we love those dogs, because we love dogs naughty or not. And, quite frankly, sometimes dogs' naughtier moments make them even more dang loveable. 

I mean, who doesn't love it when their dog eats their toilet paper? And the couch? And bites holes into all of their pants? It's only out of love anyway, right? ...Right? Eh, whatever, check out these naughty boy doggo memes, then go smooch your pooch on the head. 

It may be the best thing to come out of 2020! The animal shelters in the Washington area are experiencing a rare and unique occurrence... the amount of dogs available for adoption is increasingly limited! Thanks to the mess of 2020 and everyone pretty much forced to stay at home for a majority of the year, people turned to adoption as a source of comfort and meaning. 

Cindy Sharpley, founder, and director of Last Chance Animal Rescue, a nonprofit animal shelter in Waldorf, had this to say about the rare phenomenon, "We thought people would stop adopting because they would need to conserve their money, but that hasn't happened. It's been just the opposite. They're going like hotcakes. We can hardly keep them in stock."

Another animal shelter, Lucky Dog Animal Rescue in Arlington said it's expecting to end 2020 by helping around 3,385 pets find their forever home! The year prior, they were about to help about 1,800 find homes. Shelter Animals Count, which runs a database and is able to track all the shelter and rescue activities reported that 26,000 more pet adoptions in 2020 than the year before. This number comes from about 500 rescue organizations across the country.

There has been such a demand for animals, that shelters across the country simply do not have enough animals to keep up with this increasing demand.

Mirah Horowitz, executive director of Lucky Dog, had to make some changes to keep up with the demand, and that meant moving the operation online! Horowitz told Washington Post, "Anyone who felt like, 'I can't adopt an animal because I'm at work all day' is now finding they're at home. People want a pet for companionship and to give kids a sense of responsibility and a playmate."

Here are a few people who adopted during these uncertain times and their new forever soulmates:

Is there anything cuter than a puppy? Yes, MANY PUPPIES. Many puppies all together, lumped up in one big pawfect puppy pile. Oh, what we wouldn't do to get in there and cuddle with them. We can't imagine a more positive, wholesome way to spend an evening then experiencing the joy of a puppy pile. 

Because we love dogs, and we love puppies, and we're always happy to see tiny, newborn puppies wiggling around and giving each other love and warmth. So, enjoy the pawsitivity, dog lovers, and may you have a puppytastic day!

Cats and dogs, dogs and cats. Some people may say you can either be a cat person or a dog person, we say that cats and dogs complete each other. They are the yin and yang of animals, opposites but strangely fit together in a beautiful way. We can't help but love both cats and dogs, and we wanted to make a lovely collection dedicated to dogs and cats. 

Together, cats and dogs help the world spin round. Without them, we'd be totally lost and most definitely lonely. Thank goodness for them! Thank you cats and dogs of the world for bringing us so much joy! 

Let us all take a moment to appreciate them with this large and in-charge collection of cat/dog memes 

Question to all pet owners out there: have you ever desperately wanted to understand what your pet is saying when they're talking to you? If your answer is yes, moderngargoyle on tumblr is about to explain why that's a really, really bad idea. 

This poor tumblr user has made the mistake of giving their dog buttons with recorded words to press on whenever it wants something, and it turns out... that the dog really liked food. Shocker. And though it may have been somewhat disappointing to moderngargoyle, not having gotten precisely what they wanted, for us, their mental breakdown over being woken up a million times in the middle of the night by the dog asking for food is heckin' hilarious. 

For anyone looking for a dose of positivity, you have come to the right place. Here, you will find nothing but tweets about dogs full of positivity and sunshine and wholesomeness. Cute puppers with hearts of gold await you!

We hope these positive tweets will help you have a better day and better week, friends. You're almost halfway through to the weekend, and these doggos will push you through the rest of the way there. So, settle down for a moment, take a breath, bask in the positivity, and when you're finally home and able to take a break, don't forget to pet your dog and thank it for being the best.

So much cuteness in such a small package! Welcome back to our original weekly segment of cute animals doing cute things! Once a week, we scour through the depths of the interweb and bring you the cutest pics and vids currently conquering the web.

We do this to re-fill your weekly cuteness intake, a very crucial part of one's diet. It is vital that you consume your weekly dose of cute in order to make it through this week with wholesome animal goodness flowing through you. Animals have the power to make us smile, even when we don't want to. They hold a lot of power that we aren't truly aware of. 

Sit back and tie on that bib nice and tight! Enjoy your delicious cuteness dose for the week! 

Remember, no matter what they broke this time- you still love them. Even if it was your window, you still love them. Even if they're the world's biggest delinquents, you still love them. No matter how bad the cat-astrophe... you know you will give them snuggles and kisses later. 

Because it doesn't matter how many things your little delinquent destroys, they're still your little delinquent. And yes, you may cry a bit about that vase that cost you too much money and that you'll never get back, but... at least looking at other people's pets destroying their things is funny. So, laugh at the pain of others in these pictures that purrfectly encompass the true struggle of pet ownership.

It's that time of the week again.... Monday. Another dreaded Monday hovers above us all. And on such a gloomy Monday, one must break out some light of their own to help battle the new week with some good feels. Luckily for us, and for you, each Monday comes with a pre-packed meal full of wholesome goodness, to help us all get through today and maybe this week just a tad bit faster. 

Mondays will always be tough, that's why our dose of wholesome animal memes has to be so wholesome that it can outweigh those Monday blues. We wish you a wonderful and wholesome upcoming week! 

Goooood morning, animal lovers! We certainly hope you're having a lovely weekend thus far, filled with laughter and relaxation! We're just here to hopefully add to that feeling with a hearty collection of fresh animal memes! 

Once a week, we journey to the ends of the web to find you the newest and freshest animal memes out there. Sometimes, the journey doesn't grant us what we're looking for, and other times it's an absolute treasure trove. And most times, it's a mixture of old and new, but even so, it's always enjoyable and we will never get enough of animal memes. 

Wishing you all a wonderful rest of the weekend!
