There's something about pups. Their freedom, conviction, and playfulness can be inspiring. So we've brought you playful pups this November for harvesting happiness.

Every season has its own voice, its own flavor. Summer is full of blazing heat, there's a sense of freedom because people are going on vacation, school is out, and it's a season of transition. Summer's image is the chill surfer guy on the beach giving you a "hang loose" sign with his hand. Spring is a time of renewal, how the flowers, grass, and plants make their nascent appearance after the cold bleak of winter, like Persephone coming up from the underworld to tell everyone, "life lives." It's about colors and cuteness. Winter is cozy, but cold. It's the time for ignoring everyone, embracing your introverted side, and hibernating in whatever way you need.

Autumn has something special because it can hold onto a certain playfulness whilst being cold, crisp, and grey. The weather starts to change, but people start having fun with pumpkin spice, Uggs, and scarves. Dogs love the autumn too. It's a time where they can really just run around and be themselves. A pumpkin patch isn't just visually beautiful with the bursts of lurid orange, the great structures to climb all over, the haystacks to get lost in; it's really about appreciation and harvest. That's also why we celebrate Thanksgiving during this time. It's a time to acknowledge what the year has brought us, and to appreciate the puppers that surround us as well. If you love puppers, autumn, and gratitude just as much as I do, then you'll love scrolling through these puppy memes for hoomans harvesting happiness.

Give the gift of kindness this holiday season by donating to our Giving Tuesday fundraiser to help homeless pets and animals in need! It's time to pay your cat tax!

Being a kid is all about having fun, and it's sort of the same with dogs. They're also just looking to be outside, to smile, to be in good company, and to run around. Both kids and dogs have tons of energy, and that's why a pumpkin patch is the perfect place for them to be able to get the energy out. Autumn is a special time. The skies become grey and crisp, the air is colder, but there's a pleasantness and happiness involved with the season that's bereft in winter. Winter tends to be drab, but there's something about the months before that really hold onto happiness.

Harvesting happiness isn't something that someone's born with. Happiness is a choice at the end of the day, and it's important to remember that we're not hopeless.
