Ah, fall. The best time of the year. The leaves are falling, the weather is getting crispier than a bag of freshly picked apples, spooky season is creeping up, and everyone and their gourd-geous mother is gearing up to squash their plans and check out the local pumpkin patches. Pumpkins are the reigning champs of fall. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes, jack-o-lanterns – they really know how to gourd us into fall spirit, don't they?

Maybe this is just native to my neck of the woods, but I live for when pumpkin season starts to wind down and our neighbors set out their pumpkins for the local critters to feast upon. Deer, rabbits, and squirrels come from far and wide to RSVP for the pumpkin party. And, unbeknownst to me, there are other floofs who are big pumpkin fans too. Possums, pigs, and bears, oh my! It's a true pumpkin palooza of cuteness in the fall. Scroll down and you'll see a whole pumpkin patch of pics featuring some furry foodies enjoying a little gourd-met meal. Okay, I'm done with the gourd jokes.

Nothing is more important for your mental health right now than taking a break and scrolling this compilation. It's the ultimate serotonin spice. And please remember, if you're stumped about what to do with your leftover pumpkin decor this year, see if it's safe for the animals in your neighborhood, and leave 'em out for a little midnight snack.
