rando: why is your shiba inu so small?
me: ?????? she's a puppy???

do people forget puppies exist?

this is a conversation i have a few time a week

i'm so confused

Yeah they're little when you first get 'em out the package

Some assembly required

That's how animals work

Man, they'd be really blown away at how small kittens are then. My cat was the size of my whole hand when I got him. Now he can nearly reach my hips standing on his back legs

PUBBY

i've had a few people say "i didn't know they came that small!"

yes, yes they do

when they're puppies

people have thought she was a husky, a miniature pinscher, a chiweenie, and a dobermann

so confused
