Life getting you down? The economy making you sad? Got a hangnail, thorn in your side, pain in your butt?

Just look at this smile and if it doesn’t cheer you up than you really need psychiatric help!

Clearly this Cocker Spaniel is a mastermind playing the long game – train ‘em up when they’re cute and cuddly and eventually… two loyal bodyguards!

“I’m SOOO tired. These things will be the death of me. Why? Why master? Was I not enough? I need a nap.”

“Yikes! These two could beat me up anytime. Show no weakness. Sure, I stepped on ya every now and then. No hard feelings, right pals? pals…”

“Not too shabby… They are stong, fit, fast… Not too shabby at all…”

“Hey you over there, yes you! What are you looking at? Me and MY WOLVES?! I COMMAND SNOW WOLVES! Better keep walking pal!”

“And so I came to rule all the land, and it was good. My trusty warriors, Noble and Loyal at my side. I have vanquished my enemies with their aid, and now am a good and caring King.”

That black dog was like the trainer from Rocky, and Butterball the corgi was Rocky himself.

“C’mon boy, you can do this! You want that Russian Siberian husky to beat you!?”

“Wait what, I’m going against a Siberian Husky!?”

What…? You think I chewed that pillow? Would this face ever lie?

“Honey, you did remember to set the timer on the camera right? There is no way these pups will keep still much lo…AHH! OK, there was the flash”

Apparently this river otter stops by every afternoon to roughhouse with his buddy. In other words: This is otterly adorable!

This is Honey the Dachshund, who will stand up for treats and/or attention. Doxieone writes:

I converted the bedroom into a ‘nursery’ for our new grandchild – I painted the whole room using Beatrix Potter figures with the exception of Honey. I added her at the very last, and put her behind the door, usually out of view.

Double the Honey! Double the cute!

I too get that excited over a lime wedge. Of course, it’s usually in a Margarita or a Gin and Tonic.

But seriously, someone needs to come to the ade of this pupster.
