🚨💔 BREAKING NEWS: Today I absolutely SHATTERED Stella’s puppies’ tiny little souls. 😂🐾

For the past week or so, they’ve been happily paired up in crates with their siblings… living their best lives, snuggling, gossiping, and probably plotting against me. 🤣

Well… TODAY THAT ALL ENDED. 😳

Each puppy was placed in their VERY. OWN. CRATE. 😱

The horror.
The heartbreak.
The BETRAYAL. 💔😂

Some are handling their newfound independence like brave little adults. Others… well… the looks AND sounds of betrayal are VERY real. 🤣🤣

According to them, I am officially the WORST PERSON EVER and this injustice will NOT be forgotten. 😂🐶

Sorry, babies… welcome to crate training! Time to put on your big puppy pants! 🐾❤️🤣
