    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.

Fall is a time for pumpkin desserts and lattes, cozying up by the fire, and exploring the great outdoors. While whipping up pumpkin pie and building a fire are great fall activities, lighting an autumnal candle allows you to enjoy the season's scents without all of the work. From classic pumpkin to rich bourbon and smoky wood, we're sharing fall-scented candles that are guaranteed to add just the right touch of autumn to your home.

Every season holds its own set of associated smells that stir memories—fresh fruit in the summer, crisp pine needles in the winter—and fall's rich, warm aromas do not disappoint. Relax in your home as you enjoy the smells of Hawkin's New York's Hudson candle. Its aroma will transport you to cozy fireside evenings of days gone by, while a sleek glass holder blends in seamlessly with any room. For a candleholder that makes a statement, try Voluspa's limited-edition cut glass candle jar. The Baltic Amber variety releases warm sandalwood and cedar, a soothing combination that will fill your whole home without overpowering it.

And while we love pumpkin-scented candles during the fall, they're far from your only option. That's why the candles we're sharing here go beyond the gourd and are made using other unique scents that feel right for the season. One perfect example? Leather. It's another autumnal scent that finds its way into a number of our favorite candles. LAFCO's Saddle Leather candle incorporates hints of vanilla, cashmere musk, and Baltic amber for a scintillating aroma. With up to 90 hours of burning time and a handblown holder, it'll make for the perfect addition to your space.

Ahead, explore a variety of our favorite candles for fall. While they're ideally suited to burning during the cool months, we won't tell anyone if you want to start a little early.
