It’s most likely guaranteed that our pets make us laugh pretty often, if not on a daily basis. And owners always have to share something with the internet (if not, are you even a pet owner?). This time, the people behind the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards came up with another genius competition. This time, they are celebrating National Pet Day (Sunday, 11th of April—if you missed this date, you should celebrate with your pet(s) right now) with some light-hearted memes about quarantine as the lockdown restrictions begin to lift in some countries.
Here are some positive, feel-good, and funny pet images from the competition, which is still open on their website for you to submit your funniest pet photos with some tongue-in-cheek memes. Below you can see some of the best ones so far and read what the Animal Friends Comedy Pet Photo Awards masterminds had to share with Bored Panda.

The Animal Friends Comedy Pet Photo Awards came into being when Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam (who had previously founded the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards) thought—why not see if they could create a positive photo competition that anyone with a pet could enter, that would result in some feel-good happy vibes and, most importantly, contribute to getting people engaged with animal welfare and raising some much-needed money for pet charities. The competition is all about funny images and videos of pets and celebrating them. This year, they have teamed up with Animal Friends Pet Insurance, which allows them to donate part of the competition funds to a charity that the Animal Friends Comedy Pet Photo Awards have chosen, called Animal Support Angels. They are a small grassroots charity that, according to Michelle Wood, team member of Comedy Pet, do amazing work.

Michelle also shared that for National Pet Day, (which should be every day, in everyone’s opinion!) they wanted to create something that was relevant to the UK at this weird time and to connect it to the lighter side of the lockdown restrictions lifting, which is consuming a lot of people’s thoughts at the moment. “Many of the images we get are examples of anthropomorphism, where the pets are seemingly doing and behaving just like us, which is hilarious. So we thought it would be fun to present some of the quirkier images with some thoughts and anxieties that are all running through our minds as we get some of our freedoms back. Sort of anthropomorphism in reverse!”

Me : "I'm going to use well this amount of time during lockdown. After doing a list of 200 possibilities including sports and new skills, a language course" . Also me after a year at home : "I hope lockdown continues because I don't know anymore how to stay more then 5 hours without a nap and my movie list is full of movies still."
As it is the second consecutive year of holding these awards, lots of people have been asking Comedy Pet Photo Awards why they do the competition and what they are trying to achieve. So they came up with a really brilliant explanation after having tea and biscuits that “we want to promote positive awareness of animal welfare issues and celebrate the incredible and valuable contribution that pets can and do have on our lives.” Michelle also shared that “we hope to make people smile, think about their pets—their importance to our lives, to our physical and mental health, companionship, and to raise some awareness around pet charities and what we can do to help. We also want to try and engage with people on improving animal welfare and being kinder to the animals that we share this amazing planet with.”

When people cough and sneeze grossly...like loud, wet, gross ones. Nasty. I have seen an employee remove her mask to cough into her hand. Twat. I still cover my cough out of habit. I get there is a mask doing the job of the hands but I was still put off by my own doctor coughing into her mask and not turning or putting her arm up instinctively.

I had to Google "Substantial Meal" and it's association with the pandemic. It reminded me of our liquor laws here in Utah (always the butt of jokes). ***A substantial meal or table meal is a term of art in British law regarding the application of alcohol licensing laws. It was also used in reference to the closure of pubs, restaurants and cafés due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with those serving "substantial meals" being protected. Per Wikipedia**

It lead to a week of endless discussion (including the responsible minister 3x saying contradictory things on air on the same day) whether a "scotch egg (ANOTHER very British term of art about a food-adjacent thing) constitutes a substantial meal or not.

That isn't difficult. Every dog is better looking and smarter than Boris. We need to start campaigning for dogs to be PM!

We're all coming out of lockdown in a kind of mess. The only thing the hairdresser can do for me is shave me bald. 😣

Don't over do it. We should all take our time to enjoy and appreciate the little things that we took for granted. Everyone be safe, take care and appreciate each other more and try to lend a helping hand if possible.

I’m easing back in so slowly. I’ve finished my vaccines and waited for them to kick in. It’s nice to hug my family again 😢 But besides that it still feels weird to exist out in the world!

My husband got a new job, unrelated to the pandemic, that fortunately is resuming WFH after people possible return in-person. He worked from home for several years prior. It is great! And I am returning to work in a split, hopefully, so loads of hometime, great for us introverts with littles.
