There are days when it feels like the world is going against you. You’re late for work, and the keys have just fallen into the drain hole. But day-breaking fails have been well documented in the history of humankind, and there’s a silent agreement not to talk about ‘em too much. Unless it’s the misfortune of others and in that case, you may wanna hit Bored Panda’s previous compilations here, here, and here.
But what hasn’t been chronicled that well is animals going through a rough day, and we are about to change that. You heard me right. Our beloved furry companions have vile days too and they’re just as painfully funny. Squirrels, horses, doggos, they've all had their fair share of 24 hours turned nightmare.
So get some popcorn ready 'cause you’re about to see what a bad day looks like in the animal kingdom. And trust me, just because they don't have keys to fall into a drain hole doesn't mean they have it easier.

Oh, Ralph
Bored Panda reached out to Karen Johnson, a doctor of veterinary medicine, certified canine rehabilitation practitioner, and the co-founder of VIP Vet Visit, who shared her expertise on pets dealing with stressful situations. Because apparently, it’s not only us who get our blood up to a boiling temperature from time to time.
Karen explained that every pet handles stress differently, but it’s important to notice what your particular pet does when they’re having hard times. Having said that, some pets do, in fact, cope with stress better than others.
“Dogs seem to be better equipped to handle stressful situations than cats,” the doctor explained. “Cats,” on the other hand, “very often can make themselves ill due to stress or have behavioral problems such as urinating outside the litter box.”

I Think A Squirrel Fell Off My Roof
Often, it's people who add some fire to animals' stress levels. “It is very noticeable that if an owner is worried or stressed, the pet becomes anxious, nervous, and stressed as well. They can sense your emotions.”
Imagine if your pet saw you reacting like the world is turning against you after your car keys got into the drain hole—chances are, he would be stressed out too.

I Think My Dog Just Died A Little Bit On The Inside When I Didn't Give Her The Last Bite Of My Burger
The canine rehabilitation practitioner warned owners to look out for these signs of stress in pets: panting, shaking, lip licking, yawning, whining, pacing, hiding and shedding.
“If you notice any of these behaviors, you should stay calm and relaxed,” Karen suggested. Only when you’re feeling calm yourself can you go on to the next step of finding out what triggers averse emotions in your furry friend.

No it isn't funny at all. THC, the psychoactive element of marijuana, is poisonous to them. In addition, butter and dark chocolate, common ingredients in edible marijuana products, can be highly toxic to dogs.

While this photo is funny, dogs eating weed is not. It can kill them, and/or cause brain damage. Totally not judging this person, just want to put it out there so anyone that does not know is aware. Be really careful with the fur babies.

He’s gonna have the serious munchies when he comes down. And from now on, all cookies must be well-hidden and consumed in total secret, regardless of their ingredients—-especially the reeeeally goooood coooookies!

It reminds me of the cat on our vet show. The cat was poisoned and the only thing that would save it was alcohol. They put it on a vodka drip. Puss was dead drunk but survived.

Like for kids, you have to make things animal-proof! My dog somehow got my BP pills and was very quiet and relaxed all day, but it could have been dangerous. Don't think he ate more than a couple.

It only cost you money; it could have cost the dog his life. THC, the psychoactive element of marijuana, is poisonous to them. In addition, butter and dark chocolate, common ingredients in edible marijuana products, can be highly toxic to dogs. You are lucky to still have your dog especially since he/she is tiny, just a small amount could have proven fatal.

Once everything is ok, it’s possible and even good to see the humor in the situation. (For those who think it’s not funny.) That’s why we love our pets so much. We appreciate the levity as well as the love they provide.
