Good morning, friend and puppers. Specifically, good morning to all of the doggos in our lives. If we're giving the doggos a bongo of booty scratches, 1,000 kisses, and a multitude of hugs, you hoomans are lucky to get a cordial wave. Sorry, not sorry, we just love dogs much more than we love hoomans. Every time we see a dog, we smile and feel better. Every time we see a hooman, we hope they won't talk to us and we can just keep doing whatever we were doing.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again - dogs make everything better. If it were up to us, we would move away from civilization, start a farm, and surround ourselves with a large canine family, and never talk to another hooman ever again. That sounds like our happy place. Since that isn't quite realistic, we'll have to settle for some perfectly playful pictures of puppies, like the ones below. They may not make everything better furever, but they can at least make everything better for the next few minutes. Enjoy!

We live for dogs whose favorite stuffed animal is bigger than they are. There is nothing sweeter or more wholesome than that. Especially when they try to carry it around and trip over it because it's too big. We're almost crying just thinking about how cute it is.

This is one of those cases where you try to sneak something into the cart without your mom noticing….except when it's a puppy, it's a bit more obvious than an action figure. You think she'll let us take him home? We've been really good this week. Like, really good. And look how awwdorable he is!
