24 Posts of Pet Inspawration to Shape Up for a Peppier Spring

Mid-winter brings a familiar sensation. It starts in the pit of your stomach - you might blame the M&M-Cheetos combo, but soon you realize it's guilt. Our bodies are asking us - demanding, really - for some exercise and veggies. "Winter's not gonna last forever", our bodies say, "start prepping for summer".

Because winter has its way of hiding the chubby truth. With everyone looking chunky under all those layers, what's another pint of ice cream? Cold weather keeps us from exercising - or even leaving the couch. In our bear-like state, there's really nothing we can do to put up a fight.

But when February approaches, the sun begins to come out every once in a while. Suddenly you're motivated to burn some fat, eat healthier, and pose for more photos. Suddenly you're in the mood to get the whole house dieting. Anything sugary has to go. Even your pet needs a diet, you decide, rushing to book a pet dietitian. No more sneaking food under the table! Only arranged bowls from now on.

To keep that pawsitive vibe going, we've got some petspawration for you. Take a look at the chubby canines and chubby chonks below; then look at the fit, lean doggos and felines next to them. Now glance over at the fluffy paws lounging on your lap. Enough said.

Animals were never meant to be this chubby. Western life definitely messes with their diets. In nature, they’d sprightly pounce and stay fit. Once they’re chubby, they don’t know how to handle it - unlike us, who deal with seasonal chubbiness every winter.

It’s called a 'catwalk' for a reason. Named after construction bridges that only thin, agile creatures can cross, it’s something to aspire to during this diet.

It’s hard to stick to a diet when the chubbiness is this irresistibly cute.
