quarantine

As more and more people are forced to stay home these days, many are using it as an opportunity to foster a pet to help keep them company during isolation. The people at Busch beer decided to incentivize people even more by offering 3 months of free beer to anyone who fosters a dog during the self-isolation days. 

Their new heartwarming slogan for the campaign is "Social distancing is better with a furry friend by your side and a cold beer in your hand" and to be honest, we can not imagine better isolation conditions. 

From now until April 22, the beer brand will give a free three-month supply of drinks to those who adopt or foster a dog through Midwest Animal Rescue & Services (MARS).  The beer maker will give recipients a $100 gift card, the cash equivalent of two 24-pack cases of Busch, for three months. Busch is also donating $25,000 to MARS to help find animals loving homes across the country.

"During these uncertain and lonelier times, people need an escape: cue the cute puppy memes and photos," said a spokesperson for Busch in a statement. "But as much as we need those cute puppy pics to help get us through social distancing, it's actually them who need us."

Rolo is a 7-year-old dachshund from the United Kingdom.

When this good boy realized his owner, Emma Smith, is staying home due to the coronavirus pandemic, he couldn't contain his excitement and started wagging his tail so much that he, unfortunately, sprained it.  

His owner twitted the story which was shared by more than 140,000 times and liked by more than 1 million people, including "The Morning Show" and "Friends" star Jennifer Aniston.

Smith continued on updating about her happy pooch in the following days and even set up Rolo with his own Instagram account — rolo.thehotdog — so that interested pup lovers can "follow my journey getting my wag back."

"All you need is fluff" is the motto of this gorgeous cat from Quebec, Canada. 

We totally agree. 

Like all of us, he is in self-isolation with his owner which means more great content for us! 

Besides his awesome inspirational quotes, he also has some important messages to us all.   

Some people are totally losing it. 

Up to the point, they are playing Tic-Tac-Toe with their pets. 

And yes, it's just going as well as you'd expected. 

Has it been a full week since we've self-quarantined? It seriously feels like forever. What day is it even? 

We can't seem to tell how long it's been but all we know is the hashtag #QuarantineCats has been a silver lining in a sea of stormy clouds. Excuse us, the virus has somehow made us feel quite poetic. 

We scrolled through the very best cats in quarantine and gathered them all here for your viewing pleasure. 

You're very welcome. Keep the hashtag alive! How are your furbabies doing on day __ of quarantine? Seriously, what day is it? 

These people sure are living their quarantine life to the fullest with all kinds of funny and creative ideas, using their pets as the main tool. 

Thank you, the people of twitter, for this wholesome content!  

It's important to stay optimistic during these really bizarre and slightly terrifying times. 

We all need to remember the beauty of this world, the people and animals that make it so beautiful, and to never take it for granted again.

Thankfully, we still have each other and we still have the internet that is jam-packed with wholesomeness. 

Let this list bring some light to you. 

Meet the new kitties of Wall Street! 

It seems like people dressing up their pets is going to be a whole subset of content from this #quarantine.

We would like to hire your cat. Does he know how to use Excel? 

And yes, a raise is immediately granted. 

OK. We've seen many famous musicians playing their music online while in quarantine but Anthony Hopkins has definitely outlived them all by playing his piano for his adorable cat, Niblo, while they are both in self-isolation. 

As you can see from the video, the feline is relaxed on his lap, enjoying the performance and reacts with some lovely, heavy purring. 

The 82-year-old actor shared the video on his Instagram page and it was a great chance to scroll through some of their photos together.   

2020 may seem like a really, really rough start to the new decade we were once so hopeful about. 

Luckily, we can always count on our favorite doggo to bring us a new perspective on things and make us realize... life ain't so bad. Just gotta be optimistic and perhaps take a lesson from 'Thoughts of Dog.'

In a time when many countries in the world are under quarantine or lockdown, nature continues its thing and wildlife animals are adjusting to the new and unexpected human absence. 

In countries like Japan, Italy, and Thailand, people observed animals roaming the streets freely and shared some of the photos and videos on social media. People usually responded either in shock or awe.

While you're in self-isolation at home, why don't you take some inspiration from our cool friends who can totally keep you company and definitely make you laugh during these rough days. Twitter user @elle_em asked people to send photos and updates on how their cats are reacting these days and got a bunch of fun reactions.
