For the Irish, St. Patrick's Day is a chance to celebrate the heritage of a wonderful country. For everyone else, it's really the only time it's acceptable to vomit in the middle of the street!

These pets can't wait for the greatest day of the year!

...but Kate Middleton still pinned some shamrocks onto his red coat last St. Patrick's Day.

...and now this pup will be dreaming of leprechauns and banshees all night long.

6. This gentleman is being dainty with his beer.

...he doesn't want to get ANYTHING on his green shamrock tie.

7. And this is the SAME cat, just half a drink later:

That's the kind of kitty that probably should have stayed away from alcohol and drank only Shamrock Shakes.

8. May the Road Rise to Meet You...

10. This dog's been practicing his jig!
