Are you having a Grumpy Puppy day or a Tonkey Bear day?
After the excesses of a three-day weekend, ease yourself back into working life by weighing up the merits of the internet’s latest canine celebrities.
Last week, the disgruntled-animal-meme-of-choice title was wrenched from Grumpy Cat’s paws and bequeathed unto Earl the Grumpy Puppy.
Earl just so happens to be a puggle, a perfect blend of two internet-beloved dog breeds: pug and beagle. This, coupled with his expressive, dour face made online fame inevitable.
It started – as many memes do – with a photo submission to Reddit. Before the day was out, Earl the Grumpy Puppy had his very own subreddit. Fans of Earl’s can also follow him on Instagram and Facebook, as thousands already have.
6 signs you’re having an Earl the Grumpy Puppy day
If your Bank Holiday weekend ended with you falling asleep on the couch, you were setting yourself up for a bad Tuesday morning.
And then breakfast – the most important meal of the day – was ruined.
At work, you object to perfectly reasonable requests from your colleagues.
And meant-to-be-motivational aphorisms are doing nothing for you.
You’re having such a bad day, you’ve restarted bad habits.
Nothing good can come of today, and you start to think you should have just stayed at home and had a duvet day.
6 tips for a Tonkey Bear kind of day
Tonkey Bear is a four-month-old rare bear-coat Shar Pei from Edmonton, Canada who has become the internet’s living breathing teddy-bear. Tonkey Bear’s fluffy good looks have earned her a place in our hearts, and our Instagram and Twitter feeds. Of course, to look as good as Tonkey, you need your beauty sleep.

And, sure, you still might wake up sleepy after a Bank Holiday, but it’s no big deal.
You can just refresh yourself with a nice shower.
And relax on your stress-free commute.
Be sure to get out for some fresh air when you’re feeling a dip at lunchtime.
And, though the day might be a bit of a struggle, don’t be afraid of the challenge.
