There's nothing quite like the love and joy that puppies bring into our lives. Their wagging tails, wet noses, and playful personalities can turn even the toughest day into something special.

This seemed like a pawfect time to introduce our new puppy Lemon, pictured above with James. Don’t ask me why, Lemon; I don’t have a clue. I would have named her Licky McLickerson myself.

“The Story Of Nibbly McNibbleson

Nibbly McNibbleson was the dog nibbling queen.
She’d nibble everything when she couldn’t be seen.

She nibbled her legs, and she nibbled her paws.
She nibbled so much; her poor body was raw.
Then, she nibbled her blanket the whole of the day,
to the point where she’d nibbled the blanket away.

One day, she tired of nibbling her bed,
and decided she’d try doing licking instead.

So, she licked all the mirrors, the tables, and chairs.
Then, she licked all the rugs and the carpeted stairs.
Her licking won a place in the dog Hall of Fame,
and so Licky McLickerson became her new name.”

The Love & Joy that Puppies Bring

Puppies have a way of stealing our hearts from the moment we lay eyes on them. Their boundless energy and unconditional love bring so much joy and happiness into our lives.

Their silly antics and playful behavior can bring a smile to even the grumpiest faces. Puppies have a way of making even the most mundane tasks, like going for a walk, an exciting adventure.

Aside from the joy they bring into our lives, puppies have also been shown to affect our mental and physical health positively. Studies have found that owning a dog, even for a short period, can improve our mood, reduce stress and anxiety, and even lower blood pressure. Puppies provide us with a sense of purpose and companionship that can be difficult to find elsewhere.
