    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.

Stop reserving rocks and gems for your ring finger and start incorporating them into your décor. Jewels and the like are absolutely gorgeous, so why not sprinkle them throughout your special day? The wedding world has a thing for organic accents, and the love affair goes beyond flowers and greenery. Crystals and stones make beautiful decorations, and blend right in with other natural add-ins. Saturated jewel and gem tones contribute to show-stopping colorscapes, as do metallics and earthy neutrals. Plus, rocks and stones are totally versatile—use them as favors, centerpieces, and more.

From incuding dazzling half geodes and vibrant agate slices to decorating with rustic rocks and majestic slabs of marble, the possibilities are endless and entirely up to you. Ready to see all that minerals and gems have to offer? These examples from real weddings will have you awestruck. Who knew geology could be so cool and romantic?

Ooh la la, just look at that tablescape. This glitzy pyrite paired perfectly with pastels and rose gold.
