Keeping life balanced is best done with small doses of emotion.

A good friend once wished us for our cheezbirthday: "May you continuously experience small doses of happiness throughout the coming year." He didn't mean that we'll constantly be happy, and he also didn't mean we'll never know big happiness. He meant something completely different. This friend explained that if you're constantly happy, all happiness cancels each other out - and that's not true happiness. And if you get one huge dose of happiness it's hard to feel the same happy feelings when a small dose comes along. So the best wish, in his opinion, was to experience small doses of happiness all the time. We agree, and think it can apply to every emotion in life.

And when your life needs a little more chaos, silliness, and downright goofy feelings - there's no better candidate for achieving that than softly feral animals. Animals are cute chaos generators in any human's life, and having this constant blow of silly chaos in your life - but soft, moderate - is a great way to experience life in a much more interesting way. Because just as in happiness, chaos that comes in small doses always keeps everything interesting.

And to get that cute yet chaotic vibe every day, we recommend a good amount of silly animal memes in the morning, right before you start your day. That's how we do it, and at least for us, it works with great success. Or, should we say, with constant, small doses of success. And as animal aficionados yourselves (otherwise, how did you find us here?), you already know that animals bring in the best kind of chaos into our mere human existence. It starts with raising some delightful doggos, and ends with trying to win a race with a cheetah… just because. And all of it is represented in a pawsome way in animal memes.
