My How They've Grown!



Since President-elect Barack Obama spouted those heartwarming words, "We're getting a puppy", Americans have seemed to take an uncanny liking to the concept of man's best friend.

Sure, puppies aren't as novel of an idea as a black president, but nowadays whatever Obama likes, we like. Just like that. In fact, I read an article the other day about a cafe in Illinois where the Obamas used to frequent during their campaign and purchase chocolate chunk cookies. The store owner was interviewed, saying she used to give those cookies away for free, now she has over 1,000's of orders a week for her not-so-special-but-Obama-eats-them-so-they-must-be-good chocolate chunk cookies. Good cookies, good President, the world is now a better place. But I digress...

The purpose of this post is to bring to Fat and Furry the latest puppy craze: Shiba Inu Puppy Cam!

Here you can watch endless hours of these sweet little pups be, well, puppies. They don't do much more than that. Sometimes they sleep, sometimes they eat. But, mostly they sleep.

More than a testament of how gosh darn adorable puppies are, this American sensation of puppies is almost as impactful as the Berlin wall's destruction as a symbolic means to end the Cold War.

We finally have a symbol of positivity in this world. Thank goodness it comes in fur.
