How is it pawssible that Monday is only just starting but we are tired already? Oh, the thought of another long workweek… tragic. We can't handle it. Our blankets are too warm, and it's too cold outside for us to get out. Still, we need to. Adulting is not an option. We're going to persevere and do it… after taking a deep breath, staying right there in bed for five more minutes and enjoying some funny animal memes. 

But these are not simple and funny animal memes today, friends. No, today, on this fine Monday morning, we have a special treat for y'all - a collection of pawmazing, classic, blast-from-the-past animal tumblr goodies. Oh, yeah, you're not ready for the hilarity that you're about to face. Even those of you wo dread Monday mornings more than anything will crack a smile at this one, we promise.

    Font - warlordfelwinter Follow there's a tortoise at work and he's 30 years old and I love that he's 30 years old because I can look at this animal that is 3 years older than me and go "does the man want his appy slices??" and he hustles over cause the man do want his appy slices 38,066 notes

    Okay, we have to admit that although we have always abstractly thought that tortoises are quite cute, we never knew they could be this cute. Just the thought of this massive animal walking slowly - yet excitedly - to get its apple slices… the awws cannot be stopped.

    Photograph - mexicanine Follow omg i found this video on youtube called "elk hunting chihuahua" and the guy is like "make sure you have a good hunting dog" and just opens his backpack to reveal his lil chihuahua named coco and tells us how amazing she is at hunting and then he just whips her out and says "you gotta have one of these things, they can track, and they're just the best hunting dogs in the world" and that was the whole video and honestly i've never wanted a chihuahua more in my life

    There is always something quite cute about giant manly men holding small animals, but yep… yep, there is something extra cute about a scary-scary hunter holding a tiny chihuahua and talking about how awesome she is. We stan.

    Font - xxziggystardust Follow breadeddragons Follow HEEEEERE'S JOHNNY! the-awkward-turt Follow For those who are wondering, this is not Photoshopped. It is not all that unusual for adult sulcatas to walk/burrow through drywall. Not necessarily for any particular reason, just because they feel like digging and can't be bothered by the frivolity of human structures. bunjywunjy Follow I like that this happens often enough that it is a known problem with this species
