'No one does a better Dracula impression than Larry': 24 Wholesome Trick-or-Treating Animals to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth This Halloween

Only 11 more days until Halloween, but who's counting?

I've always been a big fan of Halloween. It's one of those holidays that makes my brain light up in a very specific way. When other people wait all year for Christmas, I wait all year for Halloween. I love the costumes, the decorations, and that it's socially acceptable to dress my dog up like a hot dog or Einstein. If it were up to me, she'd wear costumes every day.

I think part of the reason is because it gives everyone permission to be a little bit ridiculous. Why shouldn't you turn your living room into a haunted crypt? Who cares if you aren't the Michaelangelo of pumpkin carving? If you want to dress up like a baked potato, go for it. If you want to put bat wings on your cat, by all means! This all leads me to the main part of this post - the animal memes.

There is something deeply healing (and silly) about seeing a dog dressed up as a pumpkin, posing with pumpkins, with a funny comment about finally being happy to release your Fall wardrobe. These memes capture the best part of the holiday, that nobody is taking themselves too seriously. Certainly not Larry, whose Dracula impression truly is unmatched (you can see for yourself below).

Just like Halloween, these wholesome animal memes are trick-or-treating for some sweet morsels of joy. Some giggles, perhaps even a guffaw if you have it in you. Life is already full of things we have to do. Emails, bills, grocery shopping, or remembering passwords that require 7 uppercase letters and a small hooman sacrifice.

The question with these hilarious animals isn't if they're a trick or a treat, because there's only one answer for that. They're a treat for your eyes, your soul, and your mood today. Enjoy!

Some people see Halloween as work - you have to buy the candy, figure out a costume, decorate the house, and answer the door around 700 times. It's a lot of investment do all of that just to give away candy to the moody neighborhood teenager who showed up without a costume and expects you to give them a full-size Snickers bar. But Halloween has never felt like a chore to me.

The older we get (#eldermillennial), the easier it becomes to treat joy like something we have to earn after finishing everything else. But here's the trick, that list never actually ends. There will always be another responsibility waiting. So dressing up your dog like an alien and laughing at 24 ridiculous naimal memes is not wasting time. Personally, I think it's the exact kind of nonsense we need to make it through another workday!
