Yeah, but how can you stay mad or even get mad at a dog who is so happy with its life that it sleeps like that? Sure, he might be upset to wake up and find that his favorite toys have been stolen, but you cannot blame him for not protecting the house, not with that face of pure pupper innocence. With that face you have to say thank you that the robbers did not steal the dog, because that dog is by far and away the most precious thing in your home

Honestly, if we could change our form to match that of this cute mouse we might actually avoid all the attitude we have to deal with at work. No one could come up to an animal this cute and cuddly and throw attitude at them. Something this cute would immediately disarm and downgrade the situation, leaving the aggressor to fumble over their words as they try to find a way to say what they were going to without being as mean and obtuse as they were intending on being. That would be a life well lived if we could make it happen.
