Welcome to the day before the last, it is Thursday and that means that the weekend is only a few hours away, thank goodness for that. And with it being so late in the week, we figured you could do with a pick me up, after all the mindless meetings that could have been emails you have sat through. Which is why we made this list of pawdorable pet pics to pawsitivelty perk up your lunch break.

From the rizz-worthy rat who is most certainly going to be a hit with the ladies, to the bouncing bunny who seems a little lacking in cooperation with regard to its bouncing abilities, to the sweet spider just chilling out on its favorite leaf, to the pawdorable parrot who steals hearts with just a flick of its feathers. These wholesome pets are the pawfect pick-me-up for the end of the week. So sit back, relax and let the happy vibes wash over you.

Not to mention that they are among some of the smartest animals we have managed to domesticate. So give it up for the rat who has given up on the race.
