Pup 681, Shedd Aquarium's celebrity sea otter pup, has no cares in the world in this new video shared by the aquarium posted Wednesday. Given how cold it is outside, this video is guaranteed to warm the cockles of the grinchiest of grinches with its cuteness.

Watch as the six-week old female pup, rescued in September by Monterrey Bay Aquarium's Sea Otter Program, swims in a pool, plays with a tiny basketball and has a snack, then wallow in envy knowing someone gets paid to play with this animal every day.
