Another week of summer has gone by and that means that we are now into the deep frost of the AC. So for those of us who have resorted to wearing socks while indoors this summer, we made you this heartwarming collection of animal memes to at least keep your heart warm while the rest of you tries to shiver itself to warmth.

Being a lover of animals is a truly special thing, it is to recognize the splendor and beauty that has been laid out before us as standard in this world and to marvel at it. It allows you to be emotionally fulfilled by an image of a pugly doggo wrapped up in a blanket that looks like an extension of their face folds. It is what makes you able to happy cry when you see a cute baby animal trying to do things beyond its capability. It is the very thing that makes you happy when you lay your eyes upon a cute bunny, when you thought there was nothing in this world that could cheer you up.

It is this awwesome connection to animals that will allow your heart to be warmed to its core as you scroll through these comforting critter memes. One by one making you feel just that little bit warmer on the inside while you try to pass the time under the AC. So go forth, enjoy and we will see you next week for another installment of heartwarming animals.
