Tiny ducklings meet sleepy puppies for the first time and pile into the most wholesome cuddle puddle

Cute puppies were having a good nap when tiny ducklings arrived. I would consider that an inconvenient time to receive visitors, but these puppies handle the situation much more graciously than I would. As the tiny newcomers settle in, the group nap becomes the most wholesome baby animal gathering ever. AND they even cuddle together! 

This is the ducklings' first meeting with the puppies. As little yellow birds approach the blanket, several puppies are resting. Eventually, they nestle right among them. Suddenly, all we see is a tiny duck beside a pup's sleeping face. Ducklings tucked against soft fur. Puppies kissing ducklings. Ducklings cuddling with puppies. I would have trouble choosing where to point the camera.

How little ceremony there is for this first encounter. It happens so naturally. We humans spend so much time wondering how to introduce ourselves, thinking if we're interrupting something and worrying about what we should say next. These ducklings arrived at a pile of puppies and found somewhere to sit. And that was it. That's how you keep a first hello simple.

The puppies' contribution to the occasion is also really sweet. Being sleepy is enough. They don't need to entertain their visitors. They can continue lying on the blanket while everyone admires them. If I could host people that way, I might make plans more often.

Watching them together makes us feel relaxed and happy. That's what good company offers. It feels like that friend you can sit beside without having to fill every quiet moment. They don't mind if you're tired or distracted because they love doing anything with you. The idea is to feel comfortable enough with somebody to do very little together and still feel you're having a good time.

  • Please, just let me stay there and watch them. I would seriously pay for this. This wholesome little gathering deserves more recognition. 

    Give me a chair and a clear view, and we can start booking seats. We should probably hold the applause. They look so comfy and we don't want to interrupt their peaceful nap.
