Dogs by the pool, kitties on mountains, fur babies in hotel rooms … that can only mean one thing. It's summer vacation! We look forward to summer all year—longer days, beautiful weather, pets having fun in the sun—what isn't there to love? If you're a summer lover AND a pets lover like we are, boy are you in for a treat.
We're rounding up some our favorite pets just living their best lives during the hot summer days. From a Yorkie in a bikini (yes—a bikini!) to a corgi splashing in the pool, we wish we were just HALF as cool as these pets. Pack the sunscreen, put on your favorite pair of shades, and let's head to the beach.

Cannonball!
@apollo_spacecorg may not be the most graceful corgi in the pool … but gosh darn it he is the cutest! The little life jacket is seriously the most adorable accessory.
