Hed. Asplode. From too much cuteness!

Instructions for chasing all your blues away:

Step 1: bottle feed a puppy.

The end.


Several weeks ago a gal named Carrie found a litter of 5 pibble puppies in a shed on her property. Momma was nowhere to be found and the babies' eyes hadn't even opened yet. Carrie contacted Forever Friends Humane Society and after a lot of scrambling around by a group of folks, the pups were rescued. Two stayed here with my friend Sabrina and three went to Missouri with my friend Lillian. Both of these women have bottle fed puppies before so they were eager to take on the challenge.

So a couple weekends ago Brina let Mom and me come over to visit her 2 babies. Words cannot express the extreme cuteness. We even got to bottle feed them ourselves. Holy crab. Just. The best thing. EVER! Tiny puppies whining and grunting and crawling around like little army men with milk mustaches and goatees.

I mean.
Just.
What.
I can die now.

And the puppy breath... oooooooh, the puppy breath. Did I mention the puppy breath? I was kissing one of the pubbies goodbye and he started biting my nose and I almost had a seizure from the complete and utter adorability of it all.

Here are some pics of the visit. On your mark... get set... be jealous!!!







Pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat-TINIEST BURP EVER!







Parting is such sweet sorrow. That I shall say "goodbye" 'til it be morrow...





(taken with my mom's iPhone - that's why these 2 pixes are iBlurry)



Here are a couple of short video clips I took, too.

Can you even believe the itty-bitty growlage? ACK!



Sigh...



Lilly sent me some pics of the other three babies this week, too. Here they are, being ridiculously adorable, making out and playing with the rest of their puppy play group.








Thanks, ladies! Brina and Lil, you two are my heroines (the girl version of "heroes"... not the kind you have to detox from. Although, truth be told, I may have to check myself into puppy rehab after this.)

Yeah well, every time I smell my dog's feet all I can think now is "Mmm... Doritos ..." thanks to you. Is it wrong if I sort of want to eat them a little bit?

P.S. I still maintain that they should make a perfume called "Essence of Puppy Breath Eau de Toilet." I would totally wear that. OOH! Or puppy breath car fresheners in the shape of little pine trees.
