It seems like the weather in Texas is finally getting better but it's no surprise to anyone at this point as to just how scary this experience has been! Freezing temperatures in a state completely unprepared for it, no power, and now there's "boil water" notice in effect. Poor Texans have gotten hit hard but in times such as these, there are always some heartwarming sights that set a fire in our hearts. 

During what is being called, "snowpocalypse," many people have brought their outdoor animals into their homes, in order to protect them from the freezing temperature. In a Twitter thread started by @yashar, we see photos and hear stories of those who took in animals during these times. 

Very few dog breeds out there will love a snow day like a husky. And this week, all the huskies in Texas are losing their minds. 

With the freshly fallen snow in this normally not so cold place, all the husky owners decided to treat their good boys and girls to a fun day in the freezing snow. And all it took was one viral tweet encouraging Texans to share their beauties for these super hyper cold pups to get the internet shine that they've totally earned. 

Maybe you're one of the people in Texas who are hating the snow more than anything right now, but still- enjoy these happiest of all happy huskies and the positive that they have brought into this freezing week. Allow their joy to warm your heart and soul.

Studends all around the country are graduating these days but what about the many squirrels who reside on those campuses? Marie Romano, an alum of the University of Texas at Austin (UT), started naming the squirrels she saw at lunch when she was a student at the university and shared their personal stories, cute photos and the names she gave them on a dedicated instagram page. Now she even starts a yearbook. Check out the cutest trailer!    

Whenever Willie Nelson, who's quickly approaching his 87th birthday, isn't on the road again, or raising money for American farmers as co-founder of Farm Aid, the country singer is looking after his beloved horses on his 700-acre Texas farm, which he calls "Luck Farm". He has over 70 horses on the farm that he has rescued and rehabilitates, and some are even offered for adoption if they are able to recover enough. But regardless, these horses have a forever home for as long as they need.

Photographer Ricki Beason puts out an annual "Heartthrobs and Hound Dogs" calendar that features some of Texas' finest men and adoptable pups. It's pretty easy to see why the calendar is so popular.
