The rug is getting pulled out from under us

This little dude is tipping us over with his CutePowers™. Much like this little guy, who had me STUNNED for hours, "Captain Jack", below, meets so many rules of Cuteness, I don’t even know where to start.

    I have never been so completely overcome by cuteness…this pup is taking over the world! Look deep into his eyes and see this message..”I own you”

  2. Pam says:

    Awwwwww! Look at his little fuzzy ears!

  3. Joanna says:

    His fur looks soooo soft!!!

    Too dark to be a chow…hmmm…ok I give up. I can’t remember the name of the dog breed – what is this little guy?

    Mesmerizing.

  6. Susan says:

    I’m guessing he’s a Pomeranian…?

  7. Theo says:

    So there’s a dog under there somewhere?

  8. greenighs says:

    OH NO! The cutenes of the face, the tugging of the … shirt? So very cute!

  9. Aly says:

    OH mah gaw.. tooo cute.

  10. chacha says:

    Looks like a baby Pom to me. Could also be a sniffler-fox or ferret-chow hybrid. Must squeeeeeeeze!

  11. A thinker says:

    oh dear, oh dear, oh my goodness, what is it?!

    new levels of fuzzy cute.

  12. Laurie C says:

    I’m counting the small-ear-to-head-ratio and juicy eyes and nose Rules of Cuteness at least. We can’t see if he has a teeny tail. That would make three.

  13. ihateToast says:

    meg, you should have tested us. you’re spoiling us. giving answers away. letting us look in the back of the book at the odd numbers! i feel you’ve let me off too easy and i just expect you to enumerate the cuteness rules. i need to be tested.

    and hey, you’re not angering the TPoMAs (tame people of middle america). i’m truly missing people ranting at your own personal, do-it-for-out-benefit blog because you used terms commonly found on TV.

    i think you need an “asps in ass cracks” section… for so many reasons. loving you in Brisbane!

  14. Janni says:

    This little guy has no idea about the danger he’s in… He just might become squished during excessive smooching and Snorgling. How does his owner prevent this oh-so-obvious accident?!?

  15. greenighs says:

    2; built-in 5 (just naturally fish-eye lens face, no?); 13; 15; 16 (8head)

  16. MLE says:

    This reminds me of the yappy fuzzy thing from “The Dark Crystal”, only not so many teeth…but I don’t even care what it is, it’s so cute.
    It’s a tribble with eyes and ears!!!

  17. Brak_Silverbone says:

    It’s a mutant powder puff!!

  18. ElfOwl says:

    It’s DARLING! I can hear it’s little growly noises. “grrr, grrr, play play play, grrr. play, gr? grrr!”

  19. E. Collison says:

    The Chompage Factor™ is off the scale here! (Not to mention BEF.)

    Must admit that I’m ready to snorgle at a moment’s notice. (Make of that what you will!)

  20. Meghatron says:

    It’s PUFFY! :D Oh those teeny tiny ears! The LEAVES are bigger than his ears!

  21. alice says:

    The picture was loading slowly on my browser (crappy internet) so first I saw the super prosh ears and I started squealing in anticipation, then the puffy forehead eeeee!…then the beady eyes eeeeeee!… and finally the cute nose the shirt-tugging so now I’m totally DYING!!!

  22. alice says:

    ok semi-recovered *deep breath* – this pup makes me think of another cloth-item stealer! :D

  26. Oliviaface says:

    Bonus points for any animal named after a Johnny Depp character.

    *squee!!!*

  27. Merri says:

    I actually screamed from cuteness when I saw this. You just want to pick up this little guy and hug him, and I am NOT a dog person! This is the cutest photo of a pup I have ever seen!

  28. B. Modern says:

    Captain Jack of all Cutes: he definitely deserves to be the photo example for Rule # 16 in The Rules…. and I am a CAT person!

  29. alice says:

    Hey, guys, the puppy pictures of the “Move over, Hamsters” dog nearly made me faint!

  32. amanda says:

  39. bunny says:

    if it can be made to look like he’s pulling the shirt, this should be CuteOverload T#3 :D

  40. ebee says:

    MLE: You mean FIZZGIG!!!
    Yes, looks like Fizzgig without the teeth! Too funny!

  41. Apathygrrl says:

    Bunny, that is an awesome idea. Make it look like he’s tugging the bottom of the t-shirt up. Sooooo cuuuuute! What kind of breed is it???

  42. DJ Neawedde says:

    Saw the web app you made at Ning, pretty sweet, and cute!

  43. Mel says:

    When dustbunnies attack.

  44. Becca says:

    I guess this is OT, but how do you guys think the rules of cuteness (specifically the “a thing, accompanied by a smaller version of that thing” one) deal with the picture in this article?

  45. Espilonarge says:

    Suddenly this reminds me of Chesta from The Nanny. ;)

  46. Jan Spencer says:

    Thanks Netherlanddwarf! :) It just looks like he’s tugging and saying something at the same time, but of course, his mouth is full, and all that comes out is mmmpppfff! LOL :)

  47. Revie says:

    He’s not a pomeranian, he’s a baby ewok!! ;)

  48. alice says:

    eeeks cute chick on the CNN page, Becca! That totally belongs on CO.
