As you glance around the Reference Room, “cute” is probably the last word you would use to describe the sickly, sleep-deprived, and saddened masses surrounding you. But if you’re in need of a study break (and we know you are), then there are several little bundles of cuteness waiting for you. That’s right, the puppies are here!
The schedule of events:
John Jay Lounge
1 pm – 3 pm: PUPPIES
1 pm – 4 pm: crafts, bluegrass, and hot drinks
3 pm – 4 pm: Yoga taught by Zoe LePage, BC’13, a Yoga alliance certified instructor. The Art of Living club will provide mats, but if you have your own then please bring it!
Furnald aka Fur-nald Lounge
1 pm – 3 pm: PUPPIES
1 pm – 4 pm: Stressbusters back rubs, crafts, hot cocoa, and cider.

@bark out goes to Carolyn R and Claire D for making this happen
@have a very puppy Christmas http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4qSlFu4cy3o
@next time we should get kitties. nothing relieves stress like pussy
@Anonymous I see what you did there
@Anonymous ^press track then wonder why did the same person troll his own post? And why I am a writing a response about wondering why the same person trolled his own post if I am that person (in fact, all three people). plot twist
@Anonymous Get some sleep.
@you shouldve just stopped at the pussy joke, it was funny.
@Anonymous they weren’t even puppies…let alone cute. total letdown.
@Anonymous ummm maybe you went to the wrong event? these doggies were super cute. and the two golden retrievers were just 3 years old. still babies!
@Anonymous this was literally the best thing that ever happened at columbia. it was AMAZING. golden retrievers are the best. i feel bad for anyone that decided to stay in the library instead of taking half an hour to get some puppy love, a back rub, drink a hot chocolate and play with coloring markers.
@Anonymous I HAD AN EXAM DURING THE PUPPY-PETTING. F.M.L.
@silver lining at least you had it better than the other half of the freshman class: they still have to take Frontiers next semester.
@Anonymous Yeah… unless this person ends up being in the 90% of the freshman class that has an absolutely miserable asshole for a UW professor.
Also, I have frosh friends and frontiers started at 2 pm– they went to pet puppies before the exam. So either s/he was taking an exam other than frontiers, or s/he doesn’t know how to tell time.

@Smiling Students I have never before seen so many happy Columbia students in one place. Not COOP. Not NSOP. Not graduation.
Thanks Mr.Mattingly and co!
@Anonymous On behalf of Mister Mattingly the boxer and all the other pet partners from the Delta Society, thank you for the opportunity. You guys rocked today and we enjoyed spending time with you. Good luck with your exams. (do a search on ‘Mattingly Boxer Sprinkler’ on YouTube to see Matty when he was a bit younger in Denver – leave a comment if you like).
@Anonymous found it!!!

what a cool little dude.
@Anonymous Darn. Now I’m procrastinating by watching cute puppy videos on youtube.
@Anonymous give mister mattingly a big hug from all of us!
@was there i wanted to enjoy this but to be honest several of those puppies looked extremely unhappy and overwhelmed… sort of killed the mood.
cider was good though!
@was also there I’m pretty sure the boxer I was petting was having a great time…so…SOD OFF.
@Anonymous We need photos!
@Anonymous This was so wonderful. I might well fail organic chemistry tomorrow but at least I’ll do it with a smile upon my face. Whoever thought of this is a genius and I sincerely hope they never decide to use their powers for evil.

….an evil petting zoo?
@Anonymous why is everyone so obsessed with these puppies?? I feel like one person made this cool and now everyone is obsessed…cmon columbia community, lets pick something else to obsess over
@Anonymous Don’t you dare talk smack about puppies!!
@Anonymous Zoe LePage s a fucking sweetheart, love her.
@souveniers til 3pm, or while supplies last…
@this is nice except for those of us done with finals already. WHERE ARE OUR PUPPIES
@If you’ve finished your finals already, it’s very much debatable whether you deserve puppies.
@As in, you're... Already finished. Awkward.
