Just exactly how cute is Nintendogs?

[bohemiancoast]

Here's what you need to know about me. I am not a dog person. The joys of dogs, and puppies, leave me completely cold. Not My Sort of Animal.

So, why am I speaking into my shiny new Nintendo DS, going "Caramel! Walkies!"?

I knew we were in trouble when, having chosen the particular variety of Nintendogs because I wanted a calm, patient, obedient Husky, on actually going to the puppy choosing screen we found ourselves coming away with a brown-and-white beagle described as "wilful and full of energy". Because, you know, she was just the Right Dog.

This may be the cutest videogame of all time.
