You know, while we do not often say it, it deserves to be said, thank goodness for silly animals on the internet and their ability to absolutely distract us from anything else going on in the world. Once upon a time, such a phrase would be frowned upon, but in our day and age, an escape from real life is no bad thing.

But it is important that your escape from reality, also in some way contributes to your return to reality and that is why we have lined up this list of silly animal memes for you to scroll while avoiding your real life responsibilities, because this way when you are done pawcrastinating you will at least be in a bouncy mood, ready to take on a whole load of new troubles coming your way. So turn your notifications to silent, close your emails and go into flight mode if you have to and switch off for a few minutes.

  • The guy on the left looks like he is already avoiding his real life responsibilities and enjoying the antics of silly animals. Instead of looking concerned for his girlfriend, he is focused on the very funny aspect of the moment. Which it is hard to blame him for, but it is most definitely not going to serve him well when this moment passes.

    Cow escapes farm to go and live with herd of bison 'Bison are like one organism and she stands out' Jon Sharman Thursday 25 January 2018 17:11 comments ☐ f

  • Well, it seems that not only us hoomans have the urge to avoid our real life responsibilities, as this cow seems to have done the exact same. Except it has gone for the full nine yards and included a relocation to a different community within its avoidant behavior. We hope her new life among the bison works out well and that she doesn’t have to move again to live with a herd of moose…

    Rob N Roll @thegallowboob Meet Sisu. The dog who broke into a Dollar General Store 5 times to steal the SAME exact purple unicorn every time. They ended up buying Sisu the toy before taking him back to Duplin County Animal Shelter. He's up for adoption now, purple unicorn included and non-negotiable!
