Dogs

With Labor Day just over a week away, it's time to face the facts-- summer is coming to an end way too soon. But even though we won't be able to wipe out on Slip n' Slides too much longer, there are still tons of awesome things we can look foward to in the Fall, and apparently dogs are so ready for it.

Some people get a dog because they want an obedient companion...well, THESE AIN'T THOSE DOGS! These dogs make Rude Dog look like Lassie. Yeah, we just referenced Rude Dog, DEAL WITH IT!

This dog really, really does not want to take a bath, and will do almost anything to get out of it, including laying there like a big lump of lifeless dog. We've never seen such a strong desire to NOT take a bath.

In a very official statement, the White House has welcomed the newest member of the first family: Sunny.

Dash the skateboarding dog is probably better at skateboarding than most humans. He's certainly better than we are.

In case you haven't noticed, us humans are really annoying, especially when it comes to pets. We dress 'em up in embarrassing costumes and bathe them til they hate us and honestly? We can't blame them at all for retaliation.

The Shibe/doge is one of our favorite completely weird memes. It has complicated beginnings, but it is so absurd that we get lost very easily once we dive into this world. The Tumblr Shiba Confessions is probably the best source for weird Shiba stuff, but there are also several subreddits dedicated to the dog.

We all have those days when we're just over it. Maybe you're done with the traffic, bad weather or the fact that nothing can go right today. It happens to the best of us, and animals definitely aren't excluded.

Shark Week is here! Shark Week is here! We can finally stop living like it's Shark Week, because it's actually Shark Week! We're not the only one's who are excited by the prospect -- these animals also seem pretty geared up. (We're going to pretend the costumes were their idea, and not their owners.)

Digg co-founder Kevin Rose went to some strange lengths to save his dog this weekend.

If we all didn't love anthropomorphic animals so much, there's no way Disney would be as successful as it is. It turns out there's something better than cartoon animals acting like people though -- real animals acting like people.

Raise your hand if you love trampolines! We sure do, particularly because they're like an instant way to revisit our inner five-year-old. While trampolines are no doubt fun, they can be hilariously painful, too (see: epic fails). If you think about it, though, the trampoline concept is also straight up confusing. That's why these animals are all, "what the heck, man?!"
