My sister lost her beloved 13-year-old Newfoundland, and she has recently started looking for another dog.

[This is the puppy](http://photobucket.com/albums/v101/jsgoddess/?action=view&current=redgirl.jpg) she’s considering.

I challenge anyone to find a cuter puppy. This picture makes me squeak.

Awwww! That’s another Newfoundland, isn’t it? Take a look at the paws on that critter. He’s adorable.

Puppies are so cool. I told a friend the other day, I’d like to get puppies, raise them til they get grown then adopt them out and start over.

All the joy of a pet and none of the heartbreak of watching them get old.

Them’re cute puppies, but not so cute as [Frodo](http://www.nemthanatos.com/Frodo/) when he was a pup. 'course, I’m biased 😃

I hate you, Eve. I clicked on that, thinking it would actually be a cute dog.

I must say, I’m inclined to agree with you.

Actually, what I must say is “KYOOOOOT PUGGY PUPPY!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!”

Too. many. cute. puppies. Must. not. melt. AAAWWWwww[sub]www! Didn’t work, I’m a puddle… … .[/sub]

**DiosaBellisima** – I could almost smell the puppy breath. What’s weird is that it was a good scent memory.

Damn you **Eve**! I was totally unprepared for that _thing_. Gah!

Just; GAH!

Well, I took this as a challenge, so I vowed I wasn’t going to squeak when I saw the picture.

And I didn’t. But I must admit that an “Oooooh” did slip out.

Puppies. There’s a dog food commercial running now with puppies, and it’s enough to make me consider lifting my One Dog Only ban.

**Elenfair** , your dog isn’t blind in one eye, is it? Or is that just light from the camera making his eyes look different from each other?
