13 of the Cutest Reasons Ever to Celebrate National Puppy Day!

March 23rd is National Puppy Day! But let's be honest, did we really need to use a holiday as an excuse to share our love of those cute cuddle monsters?

Here are 13 reasons why our puppy obsession knows no bounds:

1. They're teeny tiny (if only for a little while.)

This whole puppy is smaller than this woman's hand and he's STILL trying to give her a high five.

2. They are furry dog babies.

Precious and perfect... with cheeks just asking for a squeezin'.

3. They can be squishy like Teddy bears...

Why do they even make Teddy bears when there are puppies this cute?

4. They will never turn down a chance to play Tug-of-War.

(Even if it's with the strap of a $1,000 camera.)

5. They're expert nappers...

At least she's getting into the spirit of potty training?

10. And when they're getting on your nerves for chewing EVERYTHING:
