There’s a reason so many commercials, movies, TV shows, and billboards use pictures of puppies and kids. They’re pretty much irresistible.

Have you ever seen a picture of puppies and kids that didn’t make you say “aw…that’s cute”? Yeah, neither have I. After all, when you take a roly-poly little snub-nosed bundle of fur and put it with a flawless, fresh-faced little kid, it’s magical. Well, at least most of the time. But it’s always cute.

I can remember…way back when…as a curious little tot I ventured out into my great-grandparents old barn in Oklahoma. A dog had recently given birth to about 8 puppies, and of course I just had to go see them. So, I gently pulled open the creaking, wooden door. I could hear those little noises puppies make when they’re trying to huddle next to one another and their mom. Once my eyes adjusted to the dim lighting inside I saw them squirming around in a little pile of hay. I went over to them, sat down cross-legged, and began to gather them all together. They seemed to like it, and I know I did. Then I put some in my lap and the rest all around my legs. I guess they had already nursed on their mom because they all fell asleep on me. There’s nothing like the scent and warmth of puppies. Even after all these years I still remember the experience vividly.

An adult came looking for me…I don’t remember if it was mom or grandparents or who it was. But whichever person it was, they called for others to come see. Being a little kid I didn’t know what all the fuss was about, but you know how adults are. They see a kid all covered in puppies and they just have to get everyone involved. But I guess I have to agree…there’s nothing cuter than…

Puppies And Kids

Nothing goes together like puppies and kids…
Not bunnies and bears…not spiders and squids.
Not llamas and lizards…not werewolves and wizards.
Not flannel and foxes…not bison and boxes.
Not doughnuts and dragons…not weasels and wagons.
Not birdies and buckles…not chickens and chuckles.
You could take a vote, and I’ll say my bid’s
On the number one cute thing…puppies and kids.
