    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

Quite possibly nature's perfect gift, blueberries are one of the healthiest foods around, and they require only a simple wash as a means of preparation. You can find cultivated berries all year, but wild and locally-grown blueberries are available—and at their peak—primarily during July and August. When shopping for blueberries at the store or farmers' market, look for berries that are firm, uniform in size, and deep blue in color with a silvery or white sheen. Avoid any packages that appear stained or damp. Once you bring the blueberries home, remove any twigs or leaves along with any berries that are soft or moldy. Refrigerate in the original container for up to five days. When you're ready to use them, rinse berries under cold water, drain, and pat dry.

Once you've stocked up, put your delicious blueberries to good use in a summery tart, no-bake cheesecake, pies, crisps, cobblers, and so much more. One of our favorite ways to serve these berries in a way that highlights their beautiful blue color and slightly tart flavor is by tossing them with granulated sugar and letting their juices slowly release. After about 20 minutes, you're left with a macerated mixture of whole blueberries in a syrupy sauce that's perfect for drizzling over ice cream, a custard pie, or even folded into pudding. For the ultimate blueberry pie filling, you generally only need four ingredients: the fruit, plus granulated sugar for sweetness, a thickener like cornstarch, and lemon juice to offset some of the granulated sugar. With this, the dessert possibilities are endless.

Ready to enjoy more blueberries all day long? Ahead, we're sharing 25 delicious blueberry recipes that make use of one of summer's all-stars.

The English dessert called a fool (and you would have to be one not to love it) is simply whipped cream folded with puréed stewed fruit, then chilled. Because the mixture needs to set and become almost mousse-like, and doesn't involve baking, the dish is ideal for the lazy days of summer.
