To all those who have felt a bit under the weather lately, I say: Unleash the puppies!

Feast your eyes on these rolls of cuteness.

This is the definition of the sad, puppy dog eyes.

He's just wondering why you didn't throw the ball.

Pretty please? How can you resist that face? (Answer: you can't.)

Here's a little basket of joy.

She just wants your love, no hate!

Those satellite dishes are picking up on your squeals of cuteness overload!

Allow this puppy to wash away your sorrows.

Oh, won't you cuddle with him? He just wants a snuggle buddy.

He wears his tie with dignity. Don't call him cute, he's handsome.

She just wants directions off of her pink island. Won't you help her?

What? Is there something on my face?

And, as the finale, another cameo of my wonderful puppy, Sheldon! He's nine years old now, but wasn't he just the cutest little fluff of joy?

I figured we could all use a pick-me-up after such a gloomy week, and what better way than with puppies? May the cuteness soothe your soul.
