Puppies!
This is to fill your quotient of cuteness for the rest of eternity.
I like puppies. I like cute puppies. But I don’t like some puppies. I don’t like apple-headed, ugly Chihuahuas. I don’t like frilly little Papillons. I don’t like puppies that look like they were bred to do nothing but be unique and sit on some dignitary’s lap–like Chinese Cresteds or Shi-tzus or Pekinese or tiny little Poodles.
I like hardy, hearty puppies who will grow up into strong dogs. I like dogs whose breed was crafted with a purpose. The working dogs, the sporting dogs, the scent and sight hounds. But that doesn’t mean I only like big dogs. On the contrary, I love a scrappy little terrier. They were made to get into tight places and either scare out the animals or catch the animals. They were made for something. Even the Standard Poodle, as fluffy and pretty as that breed is, was bred for a very specific purpose. They were made to be water retrievers. (And that silly haircut that Poodles get, with the pom-poms on the ankles and hips? It was carefully crafted to keep the dog’s joints warm when swimming in cold water.) I like good ol’ mutts. I like herding dogs and guard dogs.
Not frilly little ugly dogs that I might accidentally step on and squish to death.
Now, on to the cuteness! (All pictures are from www.dailypuppy.com)
Wirehaired Pointing Griffon
This is a Corgi. (But the website didn’t say whether it was a Pembroke or a Cardigan.)
Bernese Mountain Dog… isn’t he adorable?!
Ah, a Great Dane puppy. . . my favorite
Dalmatian!
A Shiba Inu puppy named Soren… looks like a fox, huh?
Simone the Boxer pup… so ugly she’s cute!
This cutie is a Basenji pup. Basenji’s don’t bark… they make a yodeling sound!
This little dude’s got a huge name! His breed name is the Petite Basset Griffon Vendeen (PBGV for short)!
Ah, I love Great Danes!
Well, there are some cute puppies… and there are tons more on the Daily Puppy website. Yay puppies!

Yeah, That corgi is definatly a Pembroke.
The way to tell them apart is Pembrokes don’t have tails and Cardigns do.
