Rule of Cuteness #26: If you have 4 legs and can tuck yourself in, you’re cute

Sure, their might be some dirty laundry in this photo, but please try and focus. The point is that four-legged Phoebe can successfully tuck herself into bed, and dammit, that’s adorable. Ruhmember when Rufus did that?

    As if I wasn’t already dying for a nap… *sigh*

  3. ceejoe says:

    where the heck is Phoebe???

  4. sortasandy says:

    She’s resting her cute little head on the pink pillow. Or the pink whatever-it-is.

  5. ebee says:

    Ooooooh, so comferbuls…I had a Siamese that could do that. All I had to say was “bedtime” and she was up the stairs and under the covers with her head on the pillow. *sigh* Miss my kitters.

  6. Nickole says:

    The tucking action is cute. I don’t deny that. But the cat’s not so much cute as invisible. It might just be a stuffed animal.

  7. ceejoe says:

    Cat?!?! I thought it was a dog…

  8. Crystal says:

    Aww…I remember Rhufus…that picture of the feet cracked me up!

  9. Starrgirl says:

    I miss roofees *sigh* pretty cute concept though

  10. Christy says:

    I thought it was a bunny…

  11. Tracibub says:

    It is a dog!! :) You can see the big ol’ black nose and the faboo ears just peekin’ out of the covers.

    Oh, as if I didn’t already need a nap, this picture makes me even more tired!!!

    Who says that is dirty laundry? My little fluffy cat magically appears whenever the clothes come out of the dryer and demands an immediate snuggle in layers of warm clean shirts.

    I ♥ seepy dawgs. My beagle Betty does this ALL THE TIME. She is sooo lazy. Every morning after breakfast, when the other two hounds are outside, she goes back to bed. Dadgum lazy turd. :D

  15. ceejoe says:

    omg, Skwerly, she’s adorable!

  16. jaypo says:

    Skwerly, Betty is so sweet. Worthy of squees, for sure–her spotted ears are beautiful!

    Is there another set of ears under the covers above Miss Phoebe’s head?

  17. hrh.squeak says:

    Skwerly – My head asploded from the Cute of Betty! Her markings make her little face look heart shaped, which is So Appropriate I Can’t Stand It. What a loveykins!!!

  18. jenn says:

    OMG Skwerly. May I hit up Betty for a snorgle?

  19. zelda says:

    Puppy on a pillow. Sweet!!!

  20. Mel says:

    I miss ROOFIES. MISS HIM I SAY.

  21. Aubrey says:

    Hampers. And the dogs who love them. (I’m trying to focus, really)

  22. SER says:

    The animal might be more clever than I am.

  23. Theo says:

    SER — having just skimmed your blog, that’s quite a confession.

    I approve of the highlighted musical selections. (Finn, check it out.)

  24. Skwerly says:

    Betty says “Thank Wooooo, er, I mean You” for the nice comments. And yes, jenn, you may totally snorgle her at your discretion. She’s an abject slut for belly rubs, and will do almost anything for muzzle nibbling kisses.

  25. A thinker says:

    There’s a dawg in thar?!

  26. Gryph says:

    Since you mentioned it…BRING BACK ROOFEES!!

  27. jaypo says:

    Where IS Roofies these days??

  28. Subhangi says:

    RUFUS! RUFUS! WE WANT RUFUS!!

    (Oh, and the doggie in the pic is squeergable too.)

  29. JudeW says:

    Ehm.. sorry for highjacking this part for comments, but HOW DO I send in a picture to CUTE OVERLOAD? I’ve been trying to find a place here on this site where to send in pictures for days now, but I seem to be too stupid..

    Can anyone help?

    Sorry again for using this space for my question.

    Jude.

  31. ceejoe says:

    JudeW – over in the left column, under Got Cute? cuteoverload@gmail.com

  32. Nickole says:

    Oh yes. Dog, not cat.

    Which proves my point.

  33. Deckard Canine says:

    We’re at #25 already? Seems like last month we were at #16.

  34. Donna says:

    Don’t wake up that dog, let her sleep…

  35. Skwerly, your Betty-baby is more photogenic than the entire population of Hollywood! That rakish half-tan face! Those caramel-and-cream ears! That mischevious smile! Those soulful brown EYES!

    (Oh, and the “canine blanket burrito” in the pic is adorable, too, of course! What little I can see of it…*grin*)

  36. JudeW says:

    ceejoe – Thanks a million! Why I did not see that, I’ll never know… Must have been blind momentarily.

    Thanks again, JudeW.

  37. Jack Ruttan says:

    I get this rorschach impression of a pup dog head (Boston Terrier) from the bunched-up sheet at the right.

  38. MissMichelle says:

    What a cutie! I love to see dogs all tucked in like that! awww… now I’m making all these gah gah noises to the screen, thanks a lot. :P

  39. Dubin says:

    Oh wow, you posted it! We’re famous! If anyone wants to see more pictures of what Phoebe (we assume she’s a dog, but could be part wombat, part satellite dish) really looks like, here you go!

    Extra points, in fact, o’Mufasa, for your dog being able to do it with only three legs. He goes to the head of the class.
