The World Is A Dumpster Fire Right Now — But These 21 Adorable Senior Pets Will Make You Forget About It For A While

If you're like most of us, you've probably spent the past month (or several years) doomscrolling...which is not exactly productive. So, now would be the perfect time for you to take a break from all the bad news and look at these "awwww-inspiring" senior pets. (I'm not saying that scrolling through pictures of senior pets is productive, but it is far more adorable). From a cheeseburger-stealing Maltipoo to a very photogenic rainbow cat, here are 21 of the most ridiculously adorable white-nosed babies:

1. This senior dog may not have her teeth anymore, but she still enjoys a good meal:

2. This is 14-year-old Kaiya, who might be a little bit spoiled (and sleepy):

3. This senior dog — despite having an expensive orthopedic bed — knows the floor makes the best pillow:

4. This is 15-year-old Althea, who, as you can tell, is very proud of her luscious locks:

5. This is 17-year-old Layla, who still loves a good french fry:

6. This is Little Man (yep, that's his government name), and he wants to assure everyone that he is, indeed, comfy:

7. This senior dog got what she always dreamed of — the chance to finish off a jar of peanut butter:

8. This is Taz, who knows exactly when (and where) to pose for the perfect photo op:

9. This is Oaky, who loves his "Dirty Bird" so much he even takes it on walks:

10. This is 12-year-old Herbie, who enjoys taking his frustrations out on leaves:

11. This little 14-year-old fellow still enjoys a romp in the snow:

12. This is Nerine celebrating her "Sweet 16" in style:

13. This senior Maltipoo stole a cheeseburger...and then had no idea what to do with it:

14. This senior kitty likes to hide in cabinets — especially if she's been "wronged":

15. This is 17-year-old Beau, who nearly blends in with his bed:

16. This is 16-year-old Hazy. She firmly believes that her human's foot makes the perfect pillow:

17. This older gentleman would appreciate it if everyone gave him some privacy while he "grooms" his foot:

18. This is Dwight Howard Schrute, the kitty who recently celebrated his 18th birthday:

19. This is Rambo. Despite his action movie name, he's giving the same energy as Crush in Finding Nemo:

20. This is 15-year-old Bigfoot, who wants to know if you really had to wake him right now:

21. And finally, this was my sweet little senior Ruby Sue, who was probably waiting for a snack in this picture:
