Newborn Puppy Born Barely Bigger Than A Sneeze

(I think it’s alive.)

When a puppy flies out of his mother’s canal at 88 nanometers per second and is the same size as a half dollar, well, you better believe you’re gonna name that son of a bitch Miracle. (If this were my puppy, I’d then put him in a tiiiiiiiny skating rink and call it the Miracle on Ice! But I am an idiot and also digress.)

Miracle is half Jack Russell, half Chihuahua, and allllll electron-sized, as he weighed only 1.5 ounces when born and measured 3 inches. For comparison’s sake, he is the exact size and weight of a jalapeño popper. And he can barely stand upright because he is negative years old!

I mean, even the coin has it in her to stand upright.

Better.

Ayayay they have to feed him with a pen barrel. Unless they’re stuffing it with cream cheese to turn Miracle into a literal jalepeno popper. Actually a genius idea, good on them.

I give the dog 4 days before he’s “Lenny’d” to death.

Must love Pups

If you have a canine friend running around your house, you've probably experienced firsthand the research-proven health benefits of dog ownership. And now physicians are making the most of those benefits when prescribing treatments, too...

When you pet a dog, your body is flooded with oxytocin, otherwise known as the "cuddle hormone." The hormone makes you feel lovey and more bonded--and it may even make wounds heal faster.

Petting a dog (and sometimes even just seeing a dog, according to research) results in lowered blood pressure and less stress and anxiety.

So when it comes to treating anxiety and depression, some doctors are forgoing the meds as a first step and prescribing pets, instead. There's even evidence that people who own dogs require fewer trips to the doctor for other ailments--20% fewer, as a matter of fact! Woof to that!

Puppy Christmas Is All You’ve Ever Wanted Out Of Puppies, Christmas, Or Life

QUICK! Name two things you want to see always. ONE: Puppies. TWO: Christmas. DONE. PUPPY CHRISTMAS. 
 

Film it, cut it, print it, wrap it up in a box, have puppies rip open that box and play with it, film the puppies playing with it, cut that, print that, and beam directly into my brain for the rest of my waking life.

Ya done good, Internet:
