Woof — it’s been a looooooong week.
If you feel like you’ve been working like a dog, let us offer you the internet equivalent of a big pile of catnip: hilarious tweets about pets.
We Shih Tzu not.
Each week at HuffPost, we scour X, formerly Twitter, to find the funniest posts about our furballs being complete goofballs. They’re sure to make you howl.
(And if you want more, no need to beg ― you can check out last week’s batch right here.)

I was walking past a dog wearing a sweater and I said “meester sweater” to myself in an Eastern European accent and his owner was on the phone and removed his earbuds and was like “sorry what” and I shrieked “I SAID MISTER SWEATER” and walked away

“I don’t have a dog in this fight” : normal, if grim
“I don’t have a horse in this race” : less common, but meaning obvious
“I don’t have a dog in this race” : subverts expectations; strong imagery
“I don’t have a horse in this fight” : spellbinding, transcendent synthesis

I love that people have always dressed up their cats and the cats have always looked slightly murderous about it. pic.twitter.com/mgzCZ2BWen

This is Phyllis. She has the unique ability to nap standing up. And an even unique-er ability to do it right on top of her human’s face. 14/10 pic.twitter.com/ZkA9r3lRyw
