This Twitter thread of playful puppies is the closest we've come to absolute joy in 2018

At long last, Twitter is good -- and it's all thanks to puppies.

On Monday, Twitter user @BlairBraverman, a dogsled racer and co-creator of BraverMountain Mushing, posted a massive thread of puppy photos and videos, and WE WERE NOT PREPARED.

Braverman kicked off the thread by sharing a stunning photo of a lil pup with the definition of Puppy Dog Eyes, explaining to followers, "As you know, we have a lot of puppies right now."

The next few tweets served to introduce some of these pups. Willow's were described as "bold, chubby, and fearless," while Glory's were said to be more timid... but ALL were cute as hell.

Braverman, on a mission to introduce the two groups, shared a video of Glory's puppies being set free from their little fenced in area. Then, all the puppies met and played together and for a few moments everything in the world seemed MORE THAN FINE.

So many puppies just running, chasing milk, climbing on top of each other, and DISCOVERING HOW TO USE STAIRS.

Then, the plot thickened and the unthinkable happened: The group of puppies found ANOTHER dog named Flame. In the wise words of Queer Eye's Jonathan Van Ness, "CAN YOU BELIEVE??!"

They all played together and the mere sight was strong enough to thaw my ice cold 2018 heart.

Flame wound up acting as a uniting force between the two groups of pups and soon all the dogs were mingling like they were old pals.
