The post Petting Corner: Meet Winston the Miniature Dachshund appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Recently we’ve taken to a miniature longhaired dachshund named Winston. And if cuteness is a virtue, Winston is one of its saints. “Winston is the most amazing creature in the world,” gushed his owner, Ana, in an interview with helloBARK!. “He is kind, loving, smart and protective.”
Which naturally makes him a good candidate for Instagram stardom. His online presence was further reinforced after some 100 people attended his first birthday party in Hyde Park—an event that was commemorated in The New York Times (because, why not?).
With almost 14,000 fans on Instagram, Winston also collaborates with brands like Edgard Cooper, Purplebone, and The Rockster. But most of his day consists of naps and pets.
“After he is done with his morning beauty sleep, he has his breakfast and we go for a walk in the park,” says Ana. “The rest of the day is: siesta after the walk, wake, play, have dinner, do commands training with food from the family dinner, play some more, a quick walk around the block and signing off for the day.”
There’s a good boy!

]]>Indeed, when it comes to notoriety, it’s hard to compete with Nala Cat. Sporting more than four million followers on Instagram, Nala’s legacy will likely trample ours. Her photos showcase the cat in all her glory: her lush gray coat, piercing blue eyes (albeit sometimes cross-eyed), and quirky personality will have you sold in an instant.
(@nala_cat)“The story of one kitten, Nala, starts off at a home where the owners could no longer take care of the cats and kittens because there were too many,” shared her owner, Varisiri (Pookie) Methachittiphan, on the Instagram sensation’s personal website. “Nala was then taken away to the shelter where she was separated from her original family.”
And while Methachittiphan doesn’t know what happened with the rest of the cats or kittens, Nala’s journey to stardom began on that fateful day. Aside from being a top earner on Instagram, Nala won the TikToker of the Year award at the 11th annual Shorty Awards and was even interviewed by Oprah Winfrey.
But at least according to Methachittiphan, the cat’s fame came as a total surprise. “I just started Instagram without actually thinking that she was going to be so famous,” she admits. If you’re not following her yet, now’s the time!

]]>The post Cedric the Chihuahua is Too Pure for This World appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Known for his hilarious Instagram posts, he’s often sporting cute outfits and costumes, highlighting is tiny frame. With just one tooth and his tongue proudly sticking out, Cedric is too pure for this world.
“I was the last puppy left in the litter that no one wanted, because I have a severe overbite,” admitted the pup in a mock interview with Dog Whisperer HQ (for the time being, his owners choose to stay anonymous). “My humans knew my biological father and that’s how they learned about me. They had been wanting a small dog that they could easily travel with.”
It was when his owners saw a video of the pup playing with his siblings that they fell in love immediately and made the decision to take him in. “When they first saw me in person, they were surprised. I had seemed much bigger in the photos and videos. They were terrified that they would accidentally step on me or hurt me. We got to know each other over a few weeks and they stopped worrying as they saw I was very smart and careful.”
Don’t take this tiny pooch for granted. With some 60k followers on Instagram alone, and some viral videos comparing him to different-sized fruit and vegetable, Chihuahua Cedric is the next best thing on the internet. You’ll have to trust us on that.

#thebestthingsinlifearefree #dogmom #giftideas #putabowonit #happypawlidays #k5pets #buzzfeed #doggytheworld #havanese #bestwoof #ellenratemydog #excellent_dogs #cuteanimals #adviceoftheday #totIn an interview with Hello Bark! his owner described the first time he’s laid eyes on him. “I was ready for a small dog, and was visiting shelters almost every day to find one that was a good fit,” he recalled. “One morning, I walked into a shelter and Einstein had been rescued the night before – there he was, staring up at me. I saw that he was a Havanese and I instantly knew he was my dog. I never expected to find a Havanese in a shelter, but it opened my eyes to the variety of pups who can be rescued the same way.”
A love story followed suit, and the two haven’t separated ever since. “If Einstein could only do one thing for the rest of his life, it would be sitting in my lap kissing my face,” says his owner. “He is loyal almost to a fault, and attached to my heels wherever we go.”
Einstein is also described as a very gentle and loving pup. “One of my favorites is when a close friend brought her newborn to meet us,” his owner shared a sweet memory of Einstein. “I wasn’t sure how Einstein would do with the baby, but he was incredibly sweet and gentle with her. It was wonderful to see how caring he was with this tiny baby, and over the years their bond has gotten stronger and stronger.”

]]>“Gringo is a happy kitty, full of life and with a really nice personality,” Sabrine shared in an interview with Just Something. “He loves to play all day and all night, get up to mischief like climbing on curtains, scratching the couch and jumping in the plants,” she added.
According to her, Gringo also liked to stand on his back paws, just like a meerkat. “He can stay a couple of minutes in that position, and it’s hilarious,” she says. He’s also quite an avid eater. “Gringo always sniffs our plates to see if there’s something good for him to eat, and he likes to steal our sponge from the kitchen just to chew it, so we have to hide it every time,” says his owner.
But when it comes to their owner-pet relationship, it was clearly a case of love at first sight. After seeing a picture of Gringo on the internet, Sabrine and Romain instantly fell in love! They contacted his then owner and adopted him on Nov. 14th, 2018 when he was 3 months old. The rest was history!

“I am a smooth coated Brussels Griffon, which is a type of dog, not a woodland critter, gremlin, ewok or other mythical creature,” reads his website (you didn’t think he didn’t have a website, right?)
Based in downtown New York City, his hobbies include sidewalk cafes, rooftop parties, Central Park, and sleeping on the subway. “On occasion, I engage in dog-like behavior, namely, playing fetch, barking incessantly at toys I have intentionally dropped off the couch, and zooming around the living room for no apparent reason,” says his website.
His nicknames include Sproutie, Sproutito, Bandito, Puppito, Puppers, Sweet Potato and, sometimes when he’s feeling especially cheeky, Sir Sproutie Von Brusselington. According to his owner, he gets extraordinarily pouty when he’s tired. Which naturally, makes for a very cute photo op.
Follow him on Instagram, you know you want to.

~ Harlso “He just has the flattest head,” said his owners, Jennifer Scott and Paul Lavery, in an interview with BBC News. “He can’t do any normal tricks, sit or anything. Balancing things on his head is the only thing he can do,” they admitted.
It all started with a toy chicken, which he balanced masterfully. “My talent was unearthed by chance that night,” reads a blog post on Harley’s website. “I made dad throw my favorite toy chicken 34628193 times until he could throw no more. (1-0 Harlso). He thought it would be funny to balance it on my head… little did he know, I’ve a head flatter than his jokes. Sometimes he uses them to caption my posts… DAD JOKES… how embarrassing.”
“He loves balancing, some people message saying that he looks sad… but that’s just his face! Its how they look! He loves it,” his owners assure. “Its all a bit of fun, but if any of the readers want to suggest something, he’ll give anything a go,” they added.
Take a look at Harlso in action.
