Even though it is the weekend and you are unencumbered by the weight and worries of the work week, that is not to say that all is fine and dandy in life. There are still times, especially when the work week is looming over our heads, that we could do with a little extra emotional support to get through the day. And who better to provide you with your desperately needed support than a collection of cute animals, gathered together to make your day that much better. So without further delay we are proud to present you with this list of wholesome animal posts for when you need a little emotional support. It is nice when they volunteer to give a helping paw.

From the awwdorable owl fledgling who comes with an explanation and warning of what to do if it falls out of its nest and cannot get back in, to cute cat siblings who have moved their fights to the telepathic medium such that they do not stress out their pawrent, to the funny frog who thought it would be a reasonable request to ask you to come out and play at 2 in the morning. At least their intentions were good.

This is exactly what our pawdorable paw toting friends are here to help us with. And the wonderful thing is that you do not have to make a joke land so good as to make everyone in the room laugh, just to get that bubbly warm feeling in your chest. That is what our pawsome friends are for.

Even in the case that the animal who has come to help you does not specifically have a paw to lend a hand, they will help you in whatever other ways they can. Sources say that this driver was experiencing a full meltdown after being dumped, this seagull saw the situation and saved them a speeding ticket.
