Puppies

The new law will allow the court to exercise "statutory authority to designate sole or joint ownership between the parties or a sharing arrangement," in much the same way custody of children is decided.

It took the better part of 2016, but I finally convinced my husband to let us get a dog.

Puppies are cute. Puppies are funny. Puppies are loving. Puppies are mischievous!

This is definitely not helping my puppy fever.

I was thinking about reincarnation the other day. It's not that I believe in it. But I was pondering if it really does happen, what would I like to come back as? A bird would be nice, but they don't get indoors much and the diet sucks. A fish, not bad ...

Okay, maybe we shouldn't say "playing with puppies." Maybe we should say "tolerating being pestered by puppies." Regardless ... SQUEEEE!! It's no secret that we love capybaras (proof), and Cheesecake likes to foster puppies at the animal rescue where she lives...

We're huge suckers for anything involving puppies, like skateboarding Santa dogs or Star Wars pups. (Come on-- how could you not be?!) We're equally obsessed with anything in miniature form. So what happens when the two are combined? Holy moly cuteness, that's what!

You might think that children are the only people capable of being delighted to the point of preciousness at the sight of a new puppy, but you would be wrong. Look at this manly dad, for example. He bangs on a car, covers his face with adorable fists, and does a little dance...

Ahh, puppies. We have no idea how it's possible, but everything they do is so darn cute. They can wear an Elvis suit, prepare for Hurricane Sandy or even subject themselves to toddler torture, and they're still ridiculously charming.

We could offer an explanation of this. But we really don't have one, and do you really need one? It's just an adorable Corgi puppy and an equally adorable kitten snuggling, and arguing in their sleep over who gets the most pillow. Oh, and chewing on each other's feet...

Charlie Head is already the kind of guy who kind of makes you look bad, and he's about to make you look worse. He's an extreme paddleboarder who was on his way from Cornwall to London when he happened to notice something on a small collection of rocks...

Last Wednesday, a 10-year-old boy with Down syndrome was found alive in the woods after he went missing from his home the previous day. But here's the part that the internet will love -- he survived by huddling with a pack of puppies for warmth. Sadly, no cats or corgis were involved as far as we know.
