    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.

Champagne is virtually synonymous with New Year's Eve. And when the holiday is also your wedding day, it's a drink menu requirement. That's where these festive bubbly cocktails come. Make a toast to your next adventure as a married couple with one of these delicious spritzers in hand, to celebrate both your nuptials and your future together.

Whether you're throwing a major New Year's Eve bash or a quiet, intimate affair, put the following next-level cocktails on the menu. From Prosecco margaritas, to sparkling sangrias, party punches, and Champagne mules, these concoctions are bubbly takes on the classics. And with seasonal flavors of cranberry, pine, and peppermint, some of these drinks are a nod to the holidays, which are still fresh in our minds. Feeling something fruity, instead of wintry? We also packed this list with notes of fig, blackberry, apricot, and pomegranate, for couples who prefer their cocktails on the sweeter side. 

While we're a huge fan of these complex flavor combos, we also appreciate our Champagne as is, sans a running ingredient list—after all, nothing screams "wedding" louder than a glass of frosty bubbly. If you fall into this camp, considering jazzing up your drink with unexpected adds, like fresh cranberries or tufts of cotton candy. Whichever way you decide to serve your end-of-year wedding day bubbly, there's a recipe here that you, your new spouse, and your guests will enjoy. And while the joy of your New Year's Eve wedding comes from spending it with loved ones, these dressed-up cocktails are sure to add to the merriment.
