It's all too easy to furget to enjoy yourself in this life. So we brought together these doggos to remind you of all there is to enjoy beyond the cozy confines of home.

As the years have worn on it seems that us hoomans are less and less connected to the concept of enjoying our lives. The little moments, the big moments and all the in between have been brushed to the side to make room for more work and worry than ever before. So we enlisted the support of the most playful puppers we could get to serve us a sizzling hot slice of reminder pie such that you might get to spend at least some of your weekend doing things that truly make you happy.

Because there is no creature who knows what it means to take life by the paws and let loose like a doggo does. You can see it in their frenetic frolics as they are let off the leash. You can see it in their dedication to devour their food with more vigor than a weary traveller who has not eaten in months. And you can see it in the way they want nothing more than to play with you and by themselves. So take a leaf out of their book and do something you truly love today.

While we might like to furget about our darling dog children' s wild past as wolves, there is no denying their affinity for the outdoors. Sure some puppers might have some more specialized requirements in terms of the type of outdoors and the weather, but there is no doggo on this planet who does not have their tail start wagging the moment you say ‘go outside?’ to them. That being said, this pawticular piece of outdoor delight would make us just as happy as this pupper. It might be time to get out of our jammies and get outside…

When playing with round spherical objects is your life then you had better believe baseball would be your game. And funnily enough, this pupper is finally answering one of the burning questions we have had about doggos for quite some time now. Because we have never been too sure whether a baseball game is a few hours of pure delight or painful frustration fur a doggo. Because they could equally enjoy seeing others race after a ball, as much as they could feel stifled that they cannot go after the ball themselves. But judging by this pic, puppers really do love themselves some baseball.
