If you had to ask us what our main motivation was for adopting a dog, our answer would be simple: to have someone to come home to at the end of the day. Someone who greets us at the door with a smile, a tail wagging so hard that her booty does a little dance, and unlimited kisses until it's time to go out for walkies. Our doggo brings us so much joy that we're not actually sure how we lived without her before. Sure, she brings some struggles (like waking up at 6:30 every morning to take her on her morning walk), but overall, she fills our lives with pure pawsitivity.

Animals just have this ability to make us melt with cuteness, and even though we mostly have canines and cats as pets, all animals can bring a smile to your face with the pawfect picture. Lucky for you, that's our job! We gathered a never-ending list of wholesome animals that pump pawsitivity into your heart cavity. Since it's the beginning of the week, we thought it was appropriate to soften the blow of the work week with these outrageously adorable animals, because who can frown when you're faced with a baby elephant with a bow on her head? Yeah, that's what we thought.

We really want a Shiba Inu, but we're not sure if we could actually handle their serious side-eye, judgmental stares, and their peak stubbornness. What we really want is to be the fun uncle to a Shiba - we could see them as much as we wanted to and play with them, then walk away when the fun is over.

We know that the days when we take our pupper to the beach are her furvorite days. She runs around like she has permanent zoomies, digs all the holes, and plays with every doggo she can. Her energy won't crash until we decide to leave the beach, in which case she flops down on the sand and refuses to move. Most times, we have to carry her home (she weighs over 50 pounds).
