To think that puppies should be illegal?

They’re just too much. Their big eyes, little noses, fat bellies ... the way they wobble when they walk and jump around and pounce on things like they’re a million times bigger than they are ... I just can’t be doing with it. Everytime I see a puppy I just want to squash it. My girl is 1 year old today and I’ve been looking at her puppy photos and videos ... she was totally unreasonable to bounce around the garden acting app ridiculously cute at 8 weeks old. Puppies are just too much!

Can’t be doing with it.

They absolutely should. Too cute to be legal! Same with kittens.

Tableclothing · 21/05/2020 19:51

Yes. Let's kill them all, quickly!

Completely agree. My Grandparents got a golden retriever puppy a few days before lockdown. They keep sending ridiculously cute pictures and I just want to SQUISH HIS FACE.

As someone with a, currently, 5 month old golden retriever, yes they should be. He's adorable, a little monster and I loathe him entirely.

And don’t get me started about otters, red pandas and baby lions. Wanna squeeze them all!

I'll PM you all my address so you can drop them off here and I will get rid of them for you.

I will happily take on the role of chief puppy-catcher!

@Peachypips78 - You just can't beat a Miniature Schnauzer. In my opinion, the king of all breeds...

Trouble is ... They grow up!

More pics please, these are gorgeous 😊
It’s funny how the babies of any species looks cute, I watched a programme today about mammals and their young.
Even the naked mole rat babies were sweet😆

My friend has a puppy that looks like a Fruitbat, Im desperate to steal it.

Samtsirch · 21/05/2020 20:11

@rosesinmygarden
Still so cute though !

rosesinmygarden · 21/05/2020 20:13

@Samtsirch

Deceptively so! She's a year old in 2 weeks and has nearly been rehomed about 2p times!

rosesinmygarden · 21/05/2020 20:13

20!

Glenthebattleostrich · 21/05/2020 20:15

@rosesinmygarden, I see your problem. You need to drop him here immediately so you don't get the constant reminder of growed up puppies.

Sorry, her. She can live with madmutt

CoraPirbright · 21/05/2020 20:16

You’re right OP. Utterly preposterous. Shouldn’t be allowed.

You could always foster for permanent puppy cuteness? We've been fostering cats for over 2 years and have so far had over 40, mostly kitten, guests in our house! Permanent cuteness while doing a good deed!

LakieLady · 21/05/2020 20:19

Whenever I see a puppy, I want to pick it up and sniff the back of its neck. Puppies' necks smell nicer than anything I've ever smelt.

I can take or leave babies, but I'd cross 6 lanes of busy dual carriageway to have a cuddle with a puppy.

rosesinmygarden · 21/05/2020 20:19

@CoraPirbright oh my!!! What breed?

Ylvamoon · 21/05/2020 20:20

Mine just grow into big cuddle cuteness dogs ...
