Yikes, Monday is back, and it is back in black just as always, hailing the end of the wonderful weekend and the beginning of the woeful work week. But we are going to do our best to raise your spirits, because we cannot fathom the idea of spending a whole week down in the dumps about being chained to a desk. As such, we made this list of awwdorable animal posts to distract you from your Monday melancholy. It's not much, but it is the best we can do considering we cannot set up a petting zoo and tour the country bringing animal based joy to all the hardworking hoomans.

From pawdorable pasta monching rats living their best lives, to the heartwarming eagle who took a baby of his species under his wing, to the cute kangaroo who grew up with an emotional support teddy and goes everywhere with it. These heartwarming animals are the pawfect antidote to the work week woes.

There are a few ways to go about this but considering the cost of living crisis you might enjoy the idea of every passing hour representing a roof over your head and food on your plate at the end of the day.

    Doug simply knows how to live life right. He puts his best paw forward at the start of every work week, ready to serve dogs, cats and everything in between with little to no discrimination. And even if he does get a little grouchy, a treat will cheer him up in an instant. Maybe we need to be hiring treat givers at offices around the world to perk us up when we are down.
