Grey Mondays like this one are a special kind of blah. But I have the cure for you: hilarious pets doing ridiculous things.  My dog, Bear, and my cats, Nestor and Olive, provide plenty of material for me, but here are what some other pets have been up to out in the world.

1. Dog Shaming has been around for a while, but now it's a growing category on Pinterest. Distractify got in on the craze this morning with a hilarious post of dogs who seem to be proud of their achievements. (Just don't click through if you're squeamish about poo jokes; they're the stock in trade of the dog shaming world.) Of course, there are dissenting opinions on this trend, but these posts seem to be of the lighthearted variety.

2. Cats are megalomaniacs. If you, like me, have a dog and a couple of cats living in the same house, you'll relate to this next one. Most Watched Today posted a hysterical video montage of timid dogs who won't walk by the cats who live in their own house. It shows you just who wears the pants in these multi-species families. (Thanks to my colleague Simone for passing that along!)

3. Get bombed. Pets love to interrupt perfectly good photos. It's as if they know they're cuter than anything else you might want to snap for posterity. Huffington Post posted a fun slideshow of these happy accidents. It's great for a serious chuckle. Tell me: How do you beat the Monday blues?
