The weekend is coming, which means it is time to wash yourself of your work week worries and woes with this collection of uplifting doggo memes.

After a tough week hammering things out at the old grind stone it is important to spend some time getting all that dust and debris off yourself so that you can start your free time in the week without any residue of the toil and trouble that came before it. Kinda like how you always endeavor to shower before hitting the hay.

Because there is nothing in this world that cleanses, rejuvenates and reinvigorates the hooman soul that a bunch of doggos having a grand old time. So get ready to dive in and be reborn with the happiness and lightheartedness of a sweet puppy. You most certainly deserve it after the week you have had.

Who remembers the good old days we had when we would access our rich inner worlds and play pretend. Practising our poses, speeches and communication skills with made up characters of all sizes and shapes. It was a rather wonderfully innocent time if you think about it and one that was full of fun and whimsy. And even though our adult lives have created rich external worlds with lots of people around us vying for our attention. That does not mean we cannot spare a moment or two to remember what it was like to live out our deepest curiosities.
