Mondays can be a drag, but they can also be pawsome - the choice is in our hands and paws.

When I wake up on Monday mornings, the first thought that springs into my mind, right after the initial "OMG where's my phone I have to turn this alarm clock off", is "I can't believe another week is starting". And that's a thing I'm almost certain is common throughout the entire modern world - people just wait for the weekend, and when it's over and another workweek starts, we all just wait for the next weekend to come. It's the curse of the modern working human, even if they love their workplace. And me? I'm another working human as well, and these Monday thoughts just creep into my mind even if I don't want them there.

But if you're already here, we have another thing in common other than the Monday mellow moods all people share. We're animal lovers. Yes, that actually matters. The thing about being a fan of the animal kingdom is the funny, cute, and wholesome feeling animals stir inside you. Kind of like when your crush is walking by. It's the butterflies in your stomach, but in this case - the butterflies are right there, in meme form, making you laugh out loud. That's the magic of animals, and we animal lovers know it very well.

This is why I think starting the week with a bunch of animal memes is the adorable denominator to divide a Monday by. It just works well. Because we can't stop the instinctive thoughts about the alarm clock and the start of the week, but it's definitely in our hands to stir these thoughts into something more heartwarming - and that's where animal memes truly shine. We just need to make it happen.
