Is there anything that really lifts your spirits and gets you out of the dumps quite like a great animal photo?

The answer to that is a resounding NO WAY!

Animals bring a lot of joy into our lives, and I’m not only talking about the ones that we share our houses with. I’m referring to the wild ones we see outside our windows every day and the random dogs and cats we see on our daily walks.

It just makes you feel better to see an animal and, for me at least, it really warms my heart.

We think these animal photos will put a huge smile on your face.

Enjoy!

1. Smile for the camera.

Very cute!

2. Where did you go?!?!

Oh, now I see you…

6. Make yourself at home.

On my head…

This little man made himself at home while I cleaned his enclosure. He didn’t want to let go when I was finished, I guess he enjoyed my warmth!

I guess you have a new roommate.

Hey! I’m volunteering in a bear refuge in Croatia and I thought like sharing this photo of a chillaxing lad with you guys.

13. There you are!

Maybe he thinks that’s his family.

Let him wander around the house. Thought I lost him but he was next to the potatoes
