Small.
There are few things that will make me go all girly like puppies or kittens. It’s the way I’m wired, and I make no apologies.
One of my in-laws’ Irish Water Spaniels birthed a small litter earlier this week. For scale, the first image features my wife’s hands which are smaller than mine in the second image.
Altogether, now: “awww.”


Being only a few days old, their eyes are still closed and it will be a fair while before they can stand. They swim around on their bellies just like the little brown and furry tadpoles they resemble.

How can they not make you go “awwwww”!
I’ll never understand how people can be cruel to pets.

They are great. They’ll be a fair bit bigger by now.
I find it amazing how small and vulnerable they start out, when they grow into such daft eejits of dogs.
