The internet is not a fun place to scroll through right now. But that's where we come in.

The news… is not looking bright. We're not just talking about the last few days, but in general. One disaster after the next, it really feels like the end of the world is coming. But why is that?

Our hypothesis is that we're too disconnected from our roots. Not our hair roots, or our genealogical roots, but our connection to the planet we live on. Sure, it's great that we have tiny, powerful computers in our hands all day that can connect us to anyone and everyone across the world, but at what cost? We've forgotten that we all live as a part of one whole, that we used to be in touch with our surroundings and the impact our actions had on the world.

That's why we love wholesome animal memes so much. They're purely good and remind us that not only is there joy to be found in the world, but it's a direct connection back to our animal selves. A reminder that something you do can pawsitively affect someone else's life. As cheesy as it sounds, it's a reminder that love is more than hate, and we should always try to leave everything better than we left it.

Call us ridiculous, call us silly, call us whatever you want, but we believe that kindness and joy are the only things that are going to make this world a better place. So we're going to spread it, with these pawsitively heartwarming animals, until everyone feels the same.

Our doggo doesn't like our singing, but she does wait for us every night to rub her belly as she falls asleep. Around 10 PM, every night, she will come into the living room and try to herd us into the bedroom. Then we'll get into bed, she'll lay down to next to us, and give us her belly, staring at us until we start petting it. It's the most adorable thing.

We never thought possums were cute until now. We had a scary encounter with a possum when we were kids, and ever since then, we've thought they're kind of gross, but this meme is changing that. Look how cute he looks!
