“We may not all look alike, but we’re still family.”
Whats better than cute animals? Cute animals doing cute things, of course!
And if you’re a fan of things that are cavity-inducing levels of sweet, it doesn’t get much better than this. Bangkok pet owner @yutafamily has been racking up tens of thousands of followers on Instagram posting pictures of their five chihuahuas… and adoptive cat-father.
▼ Say hello to Ricchi and his five chihuahua “children.”
You may now commence aww-ing.
▼ Ricchi is very protective of his chihuahua brood.
▼ But he also knows how to hang out and make sure everyone’s having a good time.
▼ That moment when you realize you made a horrible mistake volunteering to host all the neighborhood kids’ birthdays at once.
▼ “All right kids, Dad needs a vacation, so let’s just chill out for a bit.”
▼ “Okay! Who wants to go shopping with Dad?”
▼ “I do!” “I do!” “I do!” “I do!” “I do!” “I do!”
▼ Ricchi taking a well-deserved nap after a busy day looking after the children.
▼ He also makes sure that each one of his dogs knows they are loved individually.
▼ “Dad, is the scary part over? Can I open my eyes now?”
“Not yet, son.”
▼ D’aww.
▼ And if that last picture wasn’t cute enough, here’s the video version with a kawaii-level that is approximately Earth-shattering.
If you like what you’ve seen here, then check out the rest of yutafamily’s Instagram. There are thousands more pictures to satisfy any amount of cute-craving.
And if you want to see more adorably mismatched animal friends, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
