Miley Cyrus cuddles with a puppy.

After spending hours puppy watching during the Puppy Bowl this past weekend, we can officially say that Miley Cyrus' little pooch is one of the sweetest four-legged critters we've ever seen. Also confirmed: Miley's pup makes our coveted (and imaginary) "Cutest Celebs With The Cutest Dogs" list, along with Selena Gomez's pooch! (Making these types of exhausting decisions is why our job is so difficult, guys.)

"The Climb" singer's Twitter has been running rampant with fun pics lately: She just posted a HILAR awkward family photo, and recently Milers posted this pic of herself snuggling with the pup along with the caption, "I'm in love with this girl :)" Awww! Miley's going to be the best mom (SOME DAY IN THE VERY DISTANT FUTURE).

Between this new pup and her equally so-charming-it-hurts BF, Liam Hemsworth, it seems like Miley's hoarding all the world's cuteness for herself. Yo, Miley save some for us!

Miley Cyrus & Co. hanging out on some hay in a family portrait. #the90s

We love that Miley Cyrus has no Twitter shame. She recently shared some details on how she broke her bum, but girl is topping that tale (get it!?) with this SUPER EMBARRASSING photo of the '90s Cyrus family swag... or lack thereof.

The singer got nostalgic and tweeted a family photo of her, her siblings, Mom and Dad all hanging out on a haystack like NBD. We're not sure what we love more: how cute Miley was as youngster or that she calls out her dad's hilarious sultry smize with the caption: "Awkward family photos. Look @billyraycyrus always giving face." We're not disagreeing with the LOL factor, Milers, but this pic isn't as bad as some other awkward family photos we've seen.

It was the '90s -- no one knows what any of us were thinking. But one thing we know for sure is that some of those hairstyles, even Miley's, most definitely "Can't Be Tamed." (R.I.P., perms -- hopefully forever.)

Chances are, when you're dating Miley Cyrus like Liam Hemsworth is, you can pretty much commission any birthday cake design you want. Maybe it's a life-size replica of your favorite "Lord Of The Rings" character or a giant "Star Wars" Death Star cake or something else sci-fi that boys like. Or maybe your birthday cake is shaped like male genitalia -- tomato, to-mah-to!

Miley's boyfriend Liam celebrated his birthday this past weekend, and rumor has it Miley got him a penis cake (as a joke?). The "Can't Be Tamed" singer even posed for the cameras with the cake, and she did so with her mouth open -- just bein' Miley!

Really, guys, let's not get into too much of a tizzy over this, 'K? Who hasn't been to at least three birthday parties in their lifetime that featured some kind of genitalia-shaped baked good? Miley, who just released an EXPERT cover of Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go," is legally an adult, so she's allowed to do these things. And real talk, penis cakes are usually kind of hilarious. (Well, I've seen some that are less "hilarious" and more "This is a little too lifelike, I'm not cutting that.")

We're having a total Miley Cyrus moment right now, people. Not only are we listening to Miley's Bob Dylan cover on repeat -- Miley recorded "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" as part of the album Chimes Of Freedom: The Songs Of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years Of Amnesty International -- but we're also thinking about getting Milers' new haircut. Shoulder-length ombre -- should I do it?

So let me indulge for a minute and keep the Miley train going with this perfectly adorable photo of the "Can't Be Tamed" singer with one of her BFFs, Kelly Osbourne. Miley tweeted, "Love u This describes us perfectly :)" along with the photo above, snapped at the People's Choice Awards (where Miley and boyfriend Liam Hems worth looked like total babezillas).

Can I ask you ladies if you have room for one more in your friend crew? I don't have any famous people's phone numbers, but I'm really good at doing eyeliner and always share my cookies -- both really great qualities to look for in a new BFF.

Miley Cyrus covered Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go," and, people, do not laugh as I am completely serious when I muster all of my renown and critical authority (and put my rock-solid reputation as a SERIOUS MUSIC WRITER on the line here) to declare that Miley's cover should absolutely be taken seriously.

Miley's cover is part of the Bob Dylan compilation Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan  Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International, a four-disc collection that honors Amnesty International's 50th anniversary and pays tribute to Bob Dylan, featuring artists like Ke$ha (who covered "Don't Think Twice It's Alright"), Adele, Pete Townshend, The Airborne Toxic Event and more. (See, we knew Miley was a role model.)

The accompanying video, which was released today and features guitarist Johnzo West, is a muted, pensive affair that focuses far more on the song's sentiment than on Miley the headline maker. It's the polar opposite of flashy Miley affairs like "Can't Be Tamed" or "Party In The USA." (If anything proves that Miley's growing up as a woman and as an artist, covering Dylan -- and doing it quite well -- is it.)

Old-school Bob Dylan fans are probably too busy completing the entire 33⅓ series on their first-gen Kindles or contemplating organic milk to read this, so I probably only have you, Miley fans, to convince that Miley's Dylan cover is worth several listens, and I probably don't have to. Miley covers "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" with all of the mournfulness and dusty sentiment that the classic Dylan song requires, pouring her heart into the track and giving the legend his due instead of simply covering the track and moving on. (It's hard to top the Shawn Colvin version, but Miley comes dangerously close.)

It takes not only guts but cojones the size of wrecking balls to cover Bob Dylan. Miley rose to the occasion, proving she's capable of genres beyond pop and that she thrives vocally in a folk/country environment. I'm now waiting impatiently for that country album, Milers.
