Now that the coronavirus has us working from home, our pets are pretty psyched they get to spend more time with us. And, unlike our actual co-workers, they are less likely to annoy us (if that's even possible) as well. It's a win-win.
Recently, Twitter user @aubviouslynot asked her quarantined followers who have pets to tell her what their furballs have been doing most recently, but everyone had to refer to them as their 'co-workers'. After her online fans started uploading amusing pics and stories, others couldn't resist the fun and also joined the thread. As of this article, it has over 213K likes and 13K comments, many of which are just too adorable. Continue scrolling and check them out yourself!

In the face of the pandemic, our pets are safe. Currently, there is no evidence that companion animals can be infected with, or spread, the coronavirus which is affecting people. Nonetheless, it is important to adopt good hygiene practices which is beneficial at any time, not just during the COVID-19 crisis. Animal welfare expert, Dr. Samantha Gaines advises washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water after interacting with your pets and their items and avoid being kissed or licked and sharing food with them.

Making sure you understand that equipment belongs to the home office!
Dr. Gaines also said that social distancing shouldn't have too much of an impact on your pets but it's worth planning for what your pet needs should you be required to stay at home. "For example, you will need to make sure you have enough food and water for your pet, any bedding or substrate they need for their enclosure and if your pet requires regular medication, enough for the period you need to stay at home." You should also think about who could help if your pet needed to get medical attention. "It is possible to get help from friends, family or items quickly delivered to your door but thinking about this now can help you be prepared."

In the meantime, we should make the most out of the extra time we have with our pets. Isolating yourself for prolonged periods of time can cause loneliness, which might trigger symptoms of depression. But caring for an animal can make you feel needed and wanted, and take the focus away from your problems, especially if you live alone.

Aw, so adorable. On the TV today there was a piece about Yorkshire Terriers becoming an endangered breed because they don't photo so well and people want dogs that photo well for instagram and the like. 🙄 Stupid reason to pick a breed and such rubbish - look how cute this doggo is!

Our dog was like this. He always came to meet me on our porch everyday. I started having an allergic reaction on the school bus &the driver oh the bus had thr school get hold of Mom so she rushed me to the ER. When we got home she had to leave me with Grannie and rush my dog to the vet. He freaked out and had a nervous break down over it. He was on meds for his nerves from then on.

If you've lived in a city where it snows ALL winter, it sucks. You're always clearing snow away from everything you own, a 20 minute commute could be doubled due to bad roads, etc. But hey, at least you have snow!

Do their hair lengths decrease with the proportion of black? (The pure black one has the longest gair and the one with the most white, the shortest).

Same. I'm not even working from home. The doctor I talked to on the phone, thinks it's just a regular respiratory infection but still wants me to say home for a week, as a precaution. Actually, my cats are my bosses as the orange one just corrected my thoughts with a look.

I have two who will do this, but it makes me laugh...it's the toys (office supplies?) being dropped in the water that give me pause.
Eulalie Grace 5 years ago
Yeah - our MC does the same thing. Many of his toys wind up in any available water source.

Eh? Why? If they are carnivorous they can deal with bones etc so their own teeth are no problem and possibly they have the instinct to eat them.

I suspect they are omnivorous... thinking a child not a pet
