BUTTERSTICK HAS BROKEN THE CUTE BARRIER

We apologize for our long absence today. We had to lie down for a few hours after witnessing THE CUTEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED ON THIS EARTH. We're serious. Baby Jesus surrounded by kittens on rollerskates singing "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth," that might come close. A puppy riding a pony in a cowboy outfit while pretending to rob a bank? Eh. We have seen The Stick in a bowl. Observe:

Sure, he's still getting it on with thatfrightening butt pluglarge dog toy, but, man... The rolling, the tumbling, the turning into a furry little yin-yang symbol? Oh, we're going to have to lie down again.
