Puppies: I love 'em.  I walked by one at the train station the other day and my heart jumped.  You can be having the worst day, just down in the dumps and feeling crappy; all it takes is one happy-go-lucky pup to make you do a 180.  They get that puppy smile on their face, the quick tail wag, the bounding run towards you.  It all adds up to the cutest ball of fur imaginable.

Seriously, if you don't like dogs, get the eff out of here.  It's the most anti-human thing to hate dogs.  No one likes cat people, but everyone loves dog people.  It's a fact of life.  That being said, this puppy video rocks my world.

I can be a cynical, morose, vindictive bastard but puppies will just soften my Scrooge-like heart.  I'm like the Grinch once he gets nice, shit just super-sizes from McDouble to Big Mac.  I mean kittens can be cute, but once they hit cathood and get all pompous, I want nothing to do with them.  Dogs are the Martin Lawrence to your Will Smith.  Ride together, die together, bad boys for life.
