Emerald Catron — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:26:53 +0000

Some people express confusion over Americans celebrating Cinco de Mayo, when it's not even that big of a deal in Mexico. We express confusion over people turning down an excuse to eat tacos and sip tequila until the sun comes up/you've gone cross-eyed. Not to mention, did you see that photo? That is a capybara wearing a fake mustache. We rest our case.

See the Crazed Sorority Email as Interpreted by Adorable Animals

Christine Gritmon — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 16:07:04 +0000

University of Maryland junior Rebecca Martinson's swear-riddled, histrionic email to her fellow Delta Gamma "sisters" has taken the internet by storm this week. But what if an actual cat were spewing that verbal venom? Or, say, a puppy? Wouldn't an elephant perhaps deliver the most effective punt of all?

And since Martinson just resigned from her position at Delta Gamma, we thought we'd put her words into the mouths of a bunch of adorable animals. Sigma Nu likes adorable animals. And really, isn't pleasing Sigma Nu what it's all about?

There’s nothing surprising about our pets getting into shenanigans when we’re not looking. Sometimes we find the little buggers in the act, and what results is adorably hilarious.

Maybe it’s not okay to laugh at the misery of others, but would you just look at how much this corgi hates wearing a panda costume? It is hilarious. Usually they seem like such cute, happy dogs. This one, however, has murder in its eyes. Seriously, if we were the owner of this corgi, we’d [...]

Emerald Catron — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:55:14 +0000

Well, the dogs don't seem particularly unhappy, so we guess this is okay. As long as dogs don't understand what dignity is, they'll probably be fine.

Owners in China have been stuffing their dogs into stocking and high heels, taking pictures of them, and putting them on the internet, because this is the world we live in now. Since you know you secretly want to see more of these, here you go:

Emerald Catron — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:40:40 +0000

This is not a joke. A man at the largest outdoor bazaar in Buenos Aires bought two toy poodles from a vendor for $150 each. Only he didn't actually buy two poodles. He actually bought two ferrets that were hopped up on steroids and given fancy hairdos so they would look like poodles.

10 Dogs Totally Loving Bath Time

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 16:55:18 +0000

We’re already aware that cats hate baths. And by that we actually mean cats hate us after we scrub the furballs clean, which doesn’t make for much fun.

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:15:40 +0000

We've gotta admit-- animals know a heck of a lot more than us humans do when it comes to stuff like photobombing, football, and navigating iPads. Humans usually overcomplicate situations, but our fellow four-legged creatures tend to keep things smart and simple, which of course involves massive amount of adorableness.
