sweet puppy love

 

Oh my word...  look at this little sweetheart!

Is she not ADORABLE?

'sigh'

Meet 6 week old Roxie.... a precious little lab, spaniel cross.

She's not mine....  but honestly, I would take her in a second.... :) Ben loved her too....

In fact, we all turned to mush....right here..... every one of us... kissing her...loving her... holding her..... oooing and awing...... 

There's something about a puppy that makes my heart melt.... How 'bout you? What makes your heart melt? Please share with us, today.

She is such a sweetheart! I'd find it hard not to take her home with me too!!
Lately - I've been capturing candids of kids. Not quite like pups....but not quite not - either!

Photographing friends' kids presents a whole new challenge - especially when working with film, as I was with this series. But awww.... how adorable!

Nothing melts a heart more than a puppy! We have two new puppies on our lives that we can't get enough of

Grandma's new chihuahua, Violet

And our good friends' new goldendoodle, Zoey.

Way too cute. Almost makes me want a dog. My heart always melts when I see the little bambi's come through our yard.

Baby laughs always melt me! This little guy's chubby cheeks & smile had me grinning throughout the whole shoot- my cheeks hurt by the end!

How utterly gorgeous that photo is. Little puppies and kittens always melt my heart, as do chubby little babies. How could they not?! :)

What makes me melt? Anything related to my girl and my pup! I love this shot of my two favorite little ones - it actually took quite a bit of work to get Bailey to stay still long enough for me to get my 15-month old to stay still long enough for the shot. But, it was worth it:

I haven't had a baby urge since my last was born. Puppy urges on the other hand, I have all the time. They are far more dangerous and if it weren't for my clear headed husband we'd likely have 20 dogs. So I'm with you on this heart melting subject. Animal cuteness of all kinds really.

My furry baby is no puppy, but his sweet little Westie face melts my heart every time I look at him.

I just so happened to photo blog about my favorite pup yesterday. He makes my heart melt, but my heart completely dissolves when I see his "daddy" (my son) turn into mush over him. My son is an Iraqi war vet who has PTSD and a traumatic brain injury. It has been a real struggle for him to integrate back into civilian life after being medically retired. This dog has been a miracle in terms of my son's recovery.

I have a new puppy of my own, a Dachshund / other small hound mix called Foxy:

Hi Kim!

I didn't have children and I don't have any pets, but I LOVE babies of just about any species :~) In fact, I've kind of been on a baby kick for a few weeks after coming across these little darlings on a couple of my recent photo ramblings:

Oh, I forgot to say~~Roxie is too precious for words!!!
July 26, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterElaine
Oh, yes, a puppy will do it everytime.
Watching children playing in the public fountains yesterday made my heart happy. It's always fun to watch them in their utter joyful abandon, and ability to be completely in the moment.

Puppies will definitely make my heart melt, but then again, jsut about any baby human or animal will do so!
July 26, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterCathy Mendola
O.M.G. how could you not turn to mush with a puppy like that?? :) Working with shelter dogs really makes my heart melt, although we don't get many puppies coming through, they're still amazing dogs. http://ellingsenphotoblog.com/sbacc-adoptables-july/

I got to shoot some dogs this weekend which was totally melty BUT taking pics of the first same gender marriages happening in NYC is my big melter of the week. I'm only about halfway through posting them but the ladies in their 80s who've been together 70 years? They make me happy-weepy.

My macho-man lion-king kitty (named Simba), just back from the kitty salon, sporting a new do with a blue bow in his mane. So tuff, yet so vulnerable.

Puppy is precious and it is obvious your deep love for Ben, puppies and all these furry little four legged playmates. My love are my young grandchildren, although not furry, they are fun playmates. Beautiful photo.

Awww, loved all the baby pictures. :)

We just added a new puppy to our family a week ago. Here's Morley: http://lainethomasphotography.wordpress.com/2011/07/25/a-week-in-the-life-sunday/

And, if anyone is in the Gilbert, AZ area this mama dog needs a home desperately. I think there is still one puppy left that needs a home too: http://lainethomasphotography.wordpress.com/2011/07/20/good-homes-needed/

What a sweet puppy!!

Children & puppies make my heart melt, and I had a huge dose of both 2 days ago!

Sweet puppy face. I love the contrasting lines in the photo as well.

My boys melt my heart every day. Here is my youngest:

For me it's definitely adorable little puppies like the cutie in the pic above and of course, cute babies. Love this beautiful picture, the point of view is great.

However, a letter Wednesday from Senate Democrats said the Republican plan has no chance of passing the Senate. For their part, top Republicans called the Democratic plan a non-starter

Ah yes, puppy love definitely... and doggy and kitty... even if they do make me crazy sometimes.
