Dog + cat = your purrfect midweek self care. 

The middle of the week – you've made it halfway to your two days of paradise (the weekend). The middle of the week can put us in a strange position. We are a bit tired and overworked, but we still need to produce as much as we can in the next couple of days before the weekend. So what does one do to give yourself that extra little boost of midweek care? Scroll cats and dogs. Cats and dogs are the quintessential combo. This dynamic duo is hoomans preferred domestication of animals. They're often our pets, as we put more effort and love and adoration into relationships with our cats and dogs than we do other animals, or even humans. It's easy to get lost in our cutesy and adorable cats and dogs are. They really bring light into our lives without even trying, which is what makes them so wonderful to have around. So give yourself that midweek break from the hectic ebb and flow of life, and enjoy this wholesomely purrfect collection of cats and dogs.

  • In the beginning of the week plans are made, people are motivated, people have the weekend's energy still living and breathing inside of them to propel them through the week. But by the middle, it starts to blur. That's exactly why cat and dog memes are the purrfect thing to boost your energy back for the rest of the week. It's the point where small shifts can make a big difference. A change in routine, talking a walk, going for a run, meeting a friend for coffee, it all makes a difference. Putting yourself in new dynamics is the perfect way to get to the weekend.

  • The middle of the week has a particular feeling. It's not the fresh but daunting start of Monday, and it's not the feeling of well-deserved freedom of the weekend. Wednesday (or even Tuesday afternoon through Thursday) sits in that in-between, that liminal, undefined space where your motivation is trailing off to lands distant and forgotten. Your energy dips at the slightest inconvenience, and you're trying to keep up with the pile of dishes in your sink while trying to maintain a relatively healthy mindset. It's a homerun stretch to the weekend, can you make it?
