Welcome to the new year and hopefully the new you. Or at very least a new version of you, with improvements that you have been wanting to implement for the longest of times. And for a lot of us one of those improvements or new year's resolutions that we have been wanting to commit to is being happier in our day to day lives. Which is an incredibly admirable way to be considering how mood dampening this life can be.

So we figured we would do our part to encourage the pawsitive vibes in your life with a little list of sweet smiling doggos, because no matter what you are going through in life, if you come across a smiling doggo it is hard to not smile back. And as such we invite you to kick back, put your to-do list to the back of your mind and let these pawsitive puppers do the heavy lifting of improving your mood. From here on out they will be taking the leash and all you have to do is follow them.

  • You might try to not get infected with the contagious pawsitivity of a pupper, but the effort you would be putting in is moot. For there is no amount of will power, or even lack of sight that could stop someone from feeling the infectious impact of a doggo’s delight. It is a mixture of self-pride, genuine pawsitivtiy and more self-pride for feeling positive. What is there not to like?

  • Jheez with a face like that, how in the heck are you not meant to fall in love while feeling happier than you have ever felt? That is the kind of face that just wants to take you to the dog park, run around for a while chasing whatever might come your way and then sit down for pup cups after. Taking time to admire the splendor and sights that you have all around you. That's some proper puppy love right there.
