Cuteness Abounds

Our neighbors Toxie and Robert have two dogs…correction: they had two dogs–Baby and Storm. Baby and Storm being a boy and a girl, though, things happened…cuddly things…adorable things…

(Welcome to the worst advertisement ever for having your pets spayed or neutered.)

Let me begin by saying that Wendy and I are not pet photographers. We’re both pretty allergic to cats and dogs, but sometimes the cuddlyness is just freakin’ worth it. You suck it up, take a Claritin, and take some pictures. That’s what happened here.

Also, if you decide that you need one of the puppies to come and live with you, keep reading to the bottom, because three of these puppies are still unspoken-for.

(Yawning puppies…that’s what it’s come to.)

These are the boys of the litter. Yoda, JoJo, and Nitrate. (Note: names most likely don’t correspond to puppy order.)

(And puppy butts.)

These are the ladies, Frankie and Pink. (Wendy says Pink is the one with the smaller head. Please note the pink ribbon.)

Puppy: “Come on, man! A boxer puppy on a boxing glove–isn’t that a little cliché?”
Me: “Do you want to get adopted into a loving home with people who will rub your belly and feed you treats?”
Puppy:”Yeah…”
Me: “Then quit your yappin’ and look adorable.”

“Do you think it will help if I make eye contact with the camera?”

“No, wait…this is my good side.”

(Okay, that’s actually three different puppies, but we’re going with the narrative, okay?)

Puppy: “All this photography is tiring!”
Me: “Then go to sleep. There’s not much cuter than a sleeping puppy.”

Me: “Okay, yeah, that’s pretty stinkin’ cute. Is there anything else you could do that’s super, insanely cute so people will just absolutely have to adopt you?”

Puppy: “How ’bout this?”

So yeah, if you’d like to take one of these little guys (or girls) home with you, send an email to… (Sorry, they’re all adopted!)

If you’re looking for a cat or a less pugilistic puppy, I strongly suggest paying a visit to Pets Inc, a rescue shelter  here in Columbia that has a great mission and a lot of wonderful animals who are looking for homes.  Finally, all joking aside, these puppies were planned and are loved and taken care of, but far too many pets aren’t. Bob Barker is right–spay or neuter your pets.
