Your morning adorable

dog meets fish

Poor Alfred (the goldfish) looks blissfully unaware -- as goldfish are of most things, I suspect -- that he's in the sights of Chester (the dog).

I'm hoping that submitter Mom will hop in here and tell us that Alfred emerged from this tricky situation none the worse for wear. 

Fingers crossed that the bowl is on a high shelf now.  To your health, little Alfred!

Beverly

Precious little Beverly here is seen enjoying the Hamptons; I'm trying not to be jealous that she has been there and I (a human) haven't.  I guess we can't all be as lucky as this sweet little Yorkie!

Your morning adorable

weimeraner + cat = bff

All together now, everyone, a collective awwwww.  Don't you feel better now?  I know I do.

That is one comfy-looking Weimeraner, I've got to say.  The cat...slightly less so.  But what is love if not a willingness to compromise? 

The things we can learn from pets could fill a set of encyclopedias, I tell ya!  (Maybe two.)

omg cutie pup!

Submitter PJ's amaaaaazing action shot (from the album Man's Best Friend) makes a lot more sense when viewed in the context of its title...

"Time to Eat."

PJ, who is this precious creature?!  I need to know or it's going to keep me up nights.  Kthxbai.

Your VIDEO morning adorable!

Folks, meet Arby!!!


This cantankerous little devil seems to be having himself a blast playing with his soccer ball.   I love his enthusiasm so much I can hardly stand it.

Thanks so much submitter Michelle for making my Friday!  I think I'll just go home now (okay, boss?).  It ain't gonna get any better than this.

Your morning adorable

cutie pug puppy!

Submitter LT sends this photo (from our Man's Best Friend album) called "This Little Puggy", apparently just to torture me.  Is that correct, LT?  If that is your real name?  Do I know you and you have some personal vendetta against me? 

Because this puppy is breaking my spirit.  Too. Cute.

--Lindsay Barnett

P.S.  If you, like me, can't get enough of adorable puppy photos, might I humbly suggest you check out The Daily Puppy?  Your life will be immeasurably better for it.  Cross my heart.

Your morning adorable

baby donkey! omg!

Folks, this photo is pretty much blowing my mind this morning.  And it's not just because it's early and I'm not yet fully caffeinated.  It is because it is criminally cute.  Look at that little baby's stripey legs (which I much prefer to the stripey leg warmers favored by you hipsters. Yeccccch)!  And look how much he loves his mama! 

You gotta love a kid who loves his mama.

See more photos of Somali wild ass babies at the St. Louis Zoo's site!  They will dramatically improve your outlook on life, I promise.

Bunny + Cat = Love

"This cat was part of a rescued litter found roadside about 6 months earlier. They were placed with our pet female rabbit who immediately took them in..." explains submitter rjlee.

Um...my heart hurts.  Can we please please please forward this photo (from our much-loved Four-Legged Friends album) to every world leader??  If anything can give us hope for a peaceful future it is certainly interspecies snorgling.  God bless us, every one!

Your morning adorable

sleeping cockatiel says zzzzz

Ummm, OMG YOU GUYS.

Have  you ever seen such a peacefully slumbering (i.e. not tediously squawking from inside a blanket-covered cage) bird in all your life? ***

Have you ever seen such pristinely arranged feathers?

I rest my case!

Your morning adorable

cute pup yawning!  awww!

Oh, 'Sceners.  Nothing makes me feel more content than looking at a photo of a contented-looking pup.  Which makes me, at this moment, the most contented person on the whole World Wide Interweb!

What makes it all the better, for my money, is that this great photo was submitted to one of my brand-spanking-new favorite albums, Best Mutts.  Check it out and see if you can guess the lineage of these mongrels!  One of them looks -- I kid you not -- exactly like a koala.

The koala-dog deserves its own post.  But more on that later.
