1. The perfect fit

Everybody has got their favourite snuggle spot. But it looks like this one was tailor-made for this tiny pooch!

2. What just happened?

This little kitty looks somewhat dazed and confused. Let's hope she hasn't been for an unexpected spin!

3. But I'm the baby!

This pooch has just found out that the new houseguest is staying longer than expected, and he doesn't look too happy about it!

4. All play, no work

Working from home during the current lockdown presents plenty of challenges. And especially when you've got a dog who doesn't know the difference between work time and playtime!

As you can tell, this pooch didn't make it to the dog groomer's before lockdown!

7. This one is just weird

Dogs are cute. Dogs are adorable. But let's be honest, sometimes they're just a bit weird. If anyone knows what this guy is doing, then please, let us know!
