Tough question!
Which monkey do you think is cuter? The monkey in the snow or the well-dressed monkey lost at IKEA?
How could you ever say no to that face?!
Animal shelters across the country are participating in Rachael Ray’s ASPCA $100K Challenge. This cute guy came from the Young Williams Animal Center in Knoxville, TN!
The Challenge is an AMAZING program that is all about getting homeless cats and dogs out of shelters and into loving homes by inviting these shelters to save more lives than ever before. In 2010, the contestants increased lives saved by more than 7,000 in the three-month time frame, and last year’s contestants increased lives saved by almost 9,000!
This year’s Challenge started a little over a month ago and has already saved almost 5,000 lives! That’s a lot of adorable faces.
Rach is a known advocate for animals and a big supporter of animal welfare groups. Did you know that 100 percent of the proceeds from Rach’s pet food, Nutrish, (inspired by her pit bull, Isaboo!) provide funding and support to organizations like the ASPCA? She also loves to home cook meals just for pets! Like Isaboo’s Butternut Squash Mac and Cheddar. See what she has to say about the Challenge.
Follow the Challenge on Twitter with the hashtags #100KChallenge and #100KSaved.

We Love Dogs! Top 5 Hilariously Adorable Pups: #3 Mishka
We scoured YouTube for our favorite videos of the world’s wackiest (and yes, cutest) dogs. Stay tuned this week as we count down five of our faves!
Anyone who has ever had a dog knows that half the time you speak to them you’re scolding them for eating yet another pair of your shoes, and the other half you’re showering them with affection. Rarely, however does your dog return the sentiments in any other form than with a happy bark and licking your face. YouTube sensation Mishka, however, ‘howls’ the words back to his owners.

We Love Dogs! Top 5 Hilariously Adorable Pups: #4 Bizkit
We scoured YouTube for our favorite videos of the world’s wackiest (and yes, cutest) dogs. Stay tuned this week as we count down five of our faves!
Bizkit clearly was having some exciting dreams that prompted this lying down doggy sleepwalking (or is more of a run?). I’m guessing said dreams included fast-paced squirrels, flying Frisbees, and a mad dash to scraps of food that had just been dropped on the kitchen floor.

We Love Dogs! Top 5 Hilariously Adorable Pups: #5 Stains
We scoured YouTube for our favorite videos of the world’s wackiest (and yes, cutest) dogs. Stay tuned this week as we count down five of our faves!
It’s no secret that almost universally, a dog’s favorite treat is ‘human food’ – and when it’s in their path, they usually don’t have the willpower to stay away. Stains may resist this plate of cupcakes, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t in pure agony – evidenced by his longing stare.

National Pet Day…isn’t just for dogs!
This is Ptolemy Pthompson, who looks awfully cute while laying down. Once he’s on four paws, though, look out! Nobody’s feet are safe from his innate (and occasionally overpowering) attack-cat urge.
