Sure, Halloween is all about the kiddos. Opening the front door to the neighborhood wee ones (yours or someone else's) dressed in their trick-or-treating finery is a sugar rush unto itself.

It's a very special day. It's Friday! In case this terrible, terrible song doesn't quite capture how excited we are for the weekend (we so excited), here are some memes. In case the memes don't adequately express how excited we are for the weekend, just look for the person wearing no pants with a pitcher of sangria in each hand -- that's us. Enjoy!

Why do we make our canine pals do things like this?

Ah, fall. Football, pumpkin-flavored drinks and, of course, leaves.

Sarah Silverman leaves the funny business behind with a touching tribute to her dog.

It's not always cats and dogs that fight like cats and dogs. In this video taken in Australian, a kangaroo and a dog go at it, with more jawing than actual action.

Somebody uploaded this picture of their cousin's dog to Reddit, and a new meme was born.

Hopefully you're enjoying your day off. You know who's not? These animals! They're busy putting the "cat" in business cat-sual. Sure, a tie might be closer to standard business attire, but we're pretty sure the lack of pants keeps it totally casual.

Kellar is definitely not your average dog. The three-year-old English springer was born blind, but that has not deterred him from playing fetch.

You think you know your pet, but do you *know* your pet? Would you, for example, say your guinea pig is a Betty or a Veronica? What's your iguana's opinion on repealing the Glass-Steagall Act? Most importantly, DO YOU EVEN KNOW YOUR FERRET'S MYERS-BRIGGS PERSONALITY TYPE????!! Is your pet ... an INTROVERT?

Some people get a dog because they want an obedient companion...well, THESE AIN'T THOSE DOGS! These dogs make Rude Dog look like Lassie. Yeah, we just referenced Rude Dog, DEAL WITH IT!

This dog really, really does not want to take a bath, and will do almost anything to get out of it, including laying there like a big lump of lifeless dog. We've never seen such a strong desire to NOT take a bath.

In a very official statement, the White House has welcomed the newest member of the first family: Sunny.

Dash the skateboarding dog is probably better at skateboarding than most humans. He's certainly better than we are.

In case you haven't noticed, us humans are really annoying, especially when it comes to pets. We dress 'em up in embarrassing costumes and bathe them til they hate us and honestly? We can't blame them at all for retaliation.

The Shibe/doge is one of our favorite completely weird memes. It has complicated beginnings, but it is so absurd that we get lost very easily once we dive into this world. The Tumblr Shiba Confessions is probably the best source for weird Shiba stuff, but there are also several subreddits dedicated to the dog.
