Aww, what a sweetie. I want to pet the pugpole!

2 Marty 05.18.06 at 5:19 pm

I love puppy puddles! I hope she’s not too fat to move!

3 AuntieMame 05.18.06 at 5:21 pm

I don’t have dental coverage at the moment, so maybe I shouldn’t look! O_o

(Oh well, I need a filling I’m going to have to pay out of my pocket. I’ll just get it all done at once…)

Is the story in the caption for real? How sad, and yet how sweet.

Whatevs.

*snorgles the puggle*

More like my jaw dropped, while my lips struggled to hold themselves together in a pout.

Sad or Cute? Sad…poor baby

oh my GOSH.

I am not even a dog person, and yet this picture has my jaw dropping.

Giant head, tiny body, wiggly method of transportation…yup, tadpole all right!

7 Lo 05.18.06 at 5:25 pm

A tadpole…. or a seal? Cute!

8 A thinker 05.18.06 at 5:26 pm

I wish to huggle the puggle.

9 Skwerly 05.18.06 at 5:35 pm

Awww, she’s pugly, but her tadpole angle makes her a little less so! (I know that’s not much of a compliment, especially coming from a dog nut such as myself, but it takes a lot to make a pug less pugly.)

And why don’t her owners get her a doggie wheelchair? No sense in making her drag herself around!!!

10 apricotmuffins 05.18.06 at 5:44 pm

That is unreal!

I cant get over how her features are all squished to the lower half of her face.

11 Jill 05.18.06 at 5:44 pm

I want more where this came from! What a cutie pie!

Awwwww….(shatter). Oh well, now I can forget about that wisdom tooth I was worrying about!

13 pistache268 05.18.06 at 5:47 pm

Oh dear… another “IS THAT JUST A HEAD?!” pic…

16 TeratoMarty 05.18.06 at 5:51 pm

Dear god, it’s like a chibi version of a dog. Rules 16, 15, 13, 12 (though we can’t see the limb flop, it’s explicit in the caption) and 2 are all in effect!

17 arbed 05.18.06 at 5:57 pm

I think I would have to take it upon myself to carry Angelica anywhere she wanted to go!

18 Theo 05.18.06 at 5:58 pm

David BB — *y*i*k*e*s*. Reminds me of Deathtöngue.

Theo: A-pparently so. This one’s gonna need its own category soon. “Heads”.

20 Theo 05.18.06 at 6:11 pm

Speaking of categories… I just noticed that Cats ‘n’ Racks™ is back down to only 3 entries. The girl with the black nail polish seems to have kapoofed.

21 greenighs 05.18.06 at 6:15 pm

OMG! He looks like Nagomimakuri!

22 Kris, in New England 05.18.06 at 6:20 pm

She’s cute but looks so thoroughly annoyed with the photographer – “No, I won’t do anymore parlor tricks for you foolish humans.”

23 M Gomez 05.18.06 at 6:25 pm

AAAWWWWWW!

24 alice 05.18.06 at 6:29 pm

Aww Pugpole is a bit grumpy today. The face looks sooo familiar… either Pugpole looks like the Grinch or John Quincy Adams.

25 Charissa 05.18.06 at 6:31 pm

I want to lay down on the floor and rub my nose against the little black smooshy nose of the pugpole and die contented then and there!

26 DavidBoBavid 05.18.06 at 6:33 pm

Theo: haha.. that’s true.

27 chunkstyle 05.18.06 at 6:35 pm

Oh wow, I love seeing dogs that have “handicaps” but just live their lives totally normal…I hate to be that inspirational lecturer type, but dang is it ever inspiring to see that 3 legged dog go all out for the frisbee!
Um, not that I don’t love dogs with all of their facilities…

28 juggle geese 05.18.06 at 6:45 pm

not cute! And it looks menacing.

29 Driver B 05.18.06 at 6:50 pm

Are pugs not the most anerable little doggies in the world?

Mumumumumu wittle cutie, I kiss you!

30 Annie D. 05.18.06 at 6:57 pm

You can almost hear the snorky breathing noises, coming out of that smooshy little nose, at the bottom of that gigantic forehead.

Kinda sad. Kinda cute.

31 Villeline 05.18.06 at 7:05 pm

Not cute. Tragic. Humans made that poor pug that helpless on purpose. :(

32 >MMoptopmou-Se 05.18.06 at 7:18 pm

Angelica has a Betty Boop head.. can you print one of Angelynes small dog

33 Adam 05.18.06 at 7:25 pm

35 Jessica 05.18.06 at 7:45 pm

36 zelda 05.18.06 at 7:49 pm

OMG, that domed head! The smushed-in face! I am going to freakin’ EXPLODE from the utter cuteness of this pug!!!

37 Marci 05.18.06 at 8:04 pm

She is adorable and sweet. Puig are all beautifull and she is no exception! I love the blackies! They got attitude!

38 Theo 05.18.06 at 8:19 pm

Ariel — I kinda already did my ’shopping for today. I’ll think on it tho.

39 Ashley 05.18.06 at 8:40 pm

Aw, sweetness!

It reminds of a little kitten puddle:

40 karen 05.18.06 at 8:42 pm

Is she unable to use her back legs permanently? That poor precious pup!

41 maymee 05.18.06 at 8:43 pm

Why do my teeth hurt so much right now?

42 Anna aka IdleReceptionist 05.18.06 at 8:46 pm

AIEEE! Does anyone watch The Oblongs on Adult Swim?

This pugpole reminds me of the fat, short frog-looking girl with braids. Only kyewt!!

43 n69n 05.18.06 at 8:55 pm

44 Rhea H. 05.18.06 at 9:11 pm

45 Mel 05.18.06 at 9:13 pm

Rule #16b in effect. She’s definitely got a five head.

46 little miao 05.18.06 at 9:19 pm

awwwwwwwwww

47 bellabell 05.18.06 at 9:25 pm

omg its a pudgy puggy hehe

48 Tomi 05.18.06 at 10:03 pm

I had a black pug—she died not so long ago. She also became paralyzed, first the back legs, then the front.

I snorgled her incessantly.

BTW, all decently bred pugs have those facial qualities.

49 E. Collison 05.18.06 at 11:25 pm

I, too, want to zero in on pup snorgleage…

50 Carlisa 05.19.06 at 12:01 am

She’s so cute! I wonder how old she is and if leg problems common with this breed?

51 Mlle X 05.19.06 at 12:03 am

OMG!!!!!!!!!! Well, at least I won’t get headaches from grinding my teeth anymore. And that retainer that fell off my lunch tray? History. Thanks Pupole, KISSES!!!!

53 Michelle 05.19.06 at 2:35 am

So sweet my teeth just shattered!

54 Pugalicious 05.19.06 at 2:43 am

AWWWWWW! OMG my heart melted when I saw her. Her story is so wonderful. I admire the resilience that animals have in overcoming handicaps…too bad we humans can’t learn a thing or two from them. However, on that note, there is a company that makes wheelchairs for dogs. http://www.k9carts.com…wonderful!

55 xiiilucky 05.19.06 at 3:27 am

i just want to kiss her cute little face!!! muah
:-*

56 Jenn 05.19.06 at 11:30 am

Anna aka IdleReceptionis – I totally thought it looked like a cuter Helga from the Oblongs too! XD “I like the kind that makes its own gravy!”

69 Sarah 05.22.06 at 2:34 pm

What an angel! God bless the pug dog! I have a fawn colored pug dog named Mai Tai and she loves to sit like a frog with her back legs trailing behind her. Something tells me that she and Pugpole would get along well! Give the baby a kiss for me! I could just eat her with a spoon!

70 ashley 07.19.06 at 6:23 pm

74 Michi 10.13.06 at 2:51 am

I`m Angelica`s (Pugpoles) owner. I actually never realized she was on here! Until today. My little girl! To answer the very few complaints, we are getting a Pugcart for Angelica, but they can only be used outside with supervision (if it topples over). Also the Vet suggested allowing her to try and use those muscles as much as she can so they dont get too weak. She gets around like you wouldnt believe. I also have carry bags for her from Tokyo to cart her around in and she visits Seniours Centers for Dog Therapy. She is the Queen of our house and a VERY happy Pug :3. I even bake all her doggy cookies from scratch and dress her up to take her to see Santa. In our eyes she`s not handicapped, she`s just our special baby.

75 Koji 10.13.06 at 4:30 am

To the person who said;

“Not cute. Tragic. Humans made that poor pug that helpless on purpose. :(

Im also a part of Angelica the Pugs family. We did nothing to make her helpless. We bought her from the most reputable breeder we could find. But She was unfortunately born with a dip in her spine, causing partial paralysis of her backlegs. They suggested euthanasia. She was 3years old. She is a member of our family, and like a family member we love her all the same even though she`s handicapped. She is treated like a GOD o__O. And she knows it. She has an extesnive wardrobe and beds from Japan, a brother named PikaPika (a shih tzu). And as a therapy dog has made others feel better about being in wheelchairs. It is more difficult to find a doggy cart than you think, but we are getting her measurements taken for one. She has more love than you can imagine. Some people should think before they post.
