From the Muppet files

by Meg on July 20, 2006

My dear coworker Brian F. sent in these pics of ‘Lily" pup. I think she’s half Muppet, all adorable—check out his brillo photos of Lily looking out the window:

Dust mop!

Fuzzy butt! Fuzzy butt!

3 SarahR 07.20.06 at 9:43 pm

A muddy buddy… hard to stay clean when you’re white.

4 A thinker 07.20.06 at 9:44 pm

…whoa. First no posts, then they come all at once…

5 J. Bo 07.20.06 at 9:45 pm

That’s not a puppy, that’s a Swiffer…

6 Christina 07.20.06 at 9:46 pm

It’s a conspiracy. ;)

That pup is so floofy.

8 Amie 07.20.06 at 9:59 pm

… I was confused; i had to look at it three times.

9 sabrina 07.20.06 at 10:06 pm

10 Grace 07.20.06 at 10:09 pm

His nose is even better than the beaver nose.

I want to see his face!

11 Michelle 07.20.06 at 10:15 pm

awwww muppet ‘toks. teehee.

12 michelle 07.20.06 at 10:16 pm

Lily is my favorite doggy name, and it appears that she is made for snorgling!

13 Ashley 07.20.06 at 10:29 pm

I have a “Lily” too who might be this doggie’s long lost sibling. She is a Westie but about 10 pounds bigger than she should be….maybe a Muppet snuck in the backyard!!

14 Tanya 07.20.06 at 10:36 pm

fuz to the wuzzy. (lol, just random, but it ish cute)

15 Mel 07.20.06 at 11:04 pm

Lily, fuzzy queen of all she surveys.

16 M- 07.20.06 at 11:17 pm

Oh my God! It’s Rolf’s lost love child!

17 Theo 07.20.06 at 11:27 pm

Rolf and Camilla, maybe?

18 Tanya 07.20.06 at 11:28 pm

maybe =)

19 ElfOwl 07.20.06 at 11:29 pm

AWW! What a little doll! I totally wish I had one of those cuddled on my lap right now, licking my face. Then I could send it to clean my kitchen floor.

20 Aubrey 07.20.06 at 11:29 pm

Is Lily about to be frisked?

21 Tracey L. 07.20.06 at 11:39 pm

…anybody know the breed of this dog? she’s soo adorable!! danke!

22 makiono 07.21.06 at 12:14 am

erm… is it just me or does the first time you look at the top picture you see a disembodied head?? ahah, I had to stare at it and the bottom picture for a few minutes to make sense of it. “Muppets” + “looking out window” + no window in sight = very weird way of seeing that photo…
ahah, luckily I finally get it >.< ''

23 Laurie C 07.21.06 at 12:26 am

Great pix. I find those really original photo compositions. The top one, especially. I can almost feel the wind blowing in those ears.

24 Schnoodler 07.21.06 at 12:28 am

That has got to be a schnoodle (schnauzer/poodle cross). Ours is always standing like that, we have been tempted to get her little trousers.

25 misschelley 07.21.06 at 1:42 am

jim henson also did fraggle rock, and this looks like sprocket, the human’s dog that every week had trials with the muppet cat and the fraggles.

26 misschelley 07.21.06 at 1:44 am

looking closer at these pics, i’m assuming she really is a muppet as we never see the full body shot. its only the head and only the feet, that’s so the muppet operator can move them, right?

27 anony 07.21.06 at 1:49 am

She totally looks like a Wheaten pup from those angles. My Wheaten mix has those little red britches too- and has the odd appearance of a stuffed animal/mop before he gets groomed.
Fluffy dogs are the best!

28 missmichelle 07.21.06 at 1:54 am

I like the top picture, but the bottom one is kinda sad- I hope he washed that poor pup after the picture taking- it is NOT hard to keep fur clean, even when it’s white… I have a maltese, and she jumps in just about any puddle she can.

29 Rafael 07.21.06 at 2:03 am

Remind me of my old dog, may he rest in peace. Enjoy the muppet one, he will bring you nothing but joy!

30 phel jones 07.21.06 at 2:05 am

Perfect

31 Deckard Canine 07.21.06 at 2:21 am

Gee whiz, my sister had a stuffed white dog named Lily. I think it looked realer than that.

32 Aubrey 07.21.06 at 2:32 am

I just hope she isn’t looking for Dean Jones.

33 Deb 07.21.06 at 3:19 am

I second the person who said it is a wheaten… a soft coated wheaten terrier… Good breed!

34 notadamsandler 07.21.06 at 4:47 am

Almost as cute as this:

http://ultrarealism.blogspot.com/

OK. Not quite as cute, but at least you’ll be warm and fuzzy.

35 AuntieMame 07.21.06 at 4:47 am

I couldn’t figure out at first if the top picture was the pup’s legs or really alert ears.

And the skinny ol’ hind legs in picture 2 are anerable!

36 Jeffy 07.21.06 at 4:57 am

Dirty dog.

37 Pocky 07.21.06 at 5:32 am

Elmo butt?

I couldn’t tell that was a head on the first pic except for the little black nose.

38 Christy 07.21.06 at 6:04 am

fluffy! I’d been thinking that there are not nearly enough fluffy little dogs on this site.

39 pheral 07.21.06 at 10:47 am

that is so adorable! i go crazy every time i see Gonzo’s hands and this is having the same effect. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

40 ceejoe 07.21.06 at 1:13 pm

How do we know her fur is dirty? Maybe that’s her coloring?

41 TJ 07.21.06 at 2:12 pm

Definately a Wheaten Terrier and that is their color…wheaten! I have one and he looked like a stuffed bear when he was a puppy. Do a search on google images, cute stuff. http://www.wheatenrescue.org/images/spider.jpg

42 pillow 07.21.06 at 3:06 pm

Ok, so you’ll upload pics of a disgusting dirty dog’s hind end, but not my kitten, paws outstretched, being held by an adorable tiny girl?

what is the world coming to?!

43 Theo 07.21.06 at 3:13 pm

Oh noes.

44 betty 07.21.06 at 3:19 pm

Awww so cute! I’ll back up the Wheaten Terrier thoughts..we have on next door, “Scout”, who is just the sweetest girl. I call her “Scout about town”…

45 Judy 07.21.06 at 3:45 pm

someone give this mutt a bath

46 ceejoe 07.21.06 at 3:50 pm

For heaven’s sake, we’ve already determined that she’s not dirty. She’s a wheaten terrier and that’s their coloring! Sheees…

47 Michele 07.21.06 at 4:00 pm

cookie monster voice “today, mo no going to eat picture of cute animal of the day. today me going to have… willpower! *looks longingly at the photo smacking lips* no no! me no eat little fluffy puppy! *licking lips* oh, what they hey? *chomp chomp chomp*

48 pillow 07.21.06 at 4:00 pm

I disagree Ceejoe, whaten terrier or not, her butt and hind paws are definitely soiled. If you look closely I think you can detect the slightest hint of poopy-butt.

49 pillow 07.21.06 at 4:01 pm

Erm…Wheaten. I can’t type.

50 ceejoe 07.21.06 at 4:15 pm

I am not gonna argue (ohmmmmmm) and I am certainly NOT gonna look for poopy-butt.

51 semi 07.21.06 at 4:58 pm

Awww I love the pants on this little pup! What a cutie!

52 Elizabeth 07.21.06 at 6:45 pm

The first three times I looked at this I thought the nose was a ponytail holder and the right paw was a big poof of floof.

I LOVE wheaten terriers.

53 Pennicat 07.21.06 at 7:49 pm

I think she’s clean. Judging from how clean the WHITE carpet is that she’s standing on, I do not beleive that her human companions would put up with a poopy butt puppy in the house!

54 martha in mobile 07.21.06 at 8:05 pm

Look at the delicate and uniform shading from ivory to apricot! Look at the dainty clean front paws! She’s a multi-shaded lovely, not a poopy-butt!

55 Sammy 07.21.06 at 9:10 pm

Of course the puppy is clean. I’ve never seen a white Wheaten Terrier, anyway.Would Meg post a poopy-butted pup? I think not.

56 Theo 07.21.06 at 9:12 pm

*MEG* might not post something like that, Sammy, but…

eeewwwwwwwww!

58 AmyH 07.21.06 at 10:10 pm

Whew! We hadn’t had a commentroversy in a few posts – I thought perhaps we’d all gone soft. But no! Prosh poochie patootie pics are posted and protesters pounce! (Okay, so it’s not a full-blown raging going on, but I couldn’t resist.)

To me, this doggie just looks like he likes being a dog, not some frou-frou pooch.

Just keep being happy, Mr. Fluffy Dog!

59 rose 07.21.06 at 10:40 pm

thats weird

60 Cookie 07.22.06 at 12:55 am

Mr. Fuzzypants is my new desktop background.

61 Nicky 07.22.06 at 1:57 am

lol cute!! but seriously someone give this dust mopper a bath!!! hahaha

62 Ashley 07.22.06 at 4:27 am

after 2 days in the hospital, this is a WONDERFUL thing to come home to
:)

63 hrh.squeak 07.22.06 at 4:34 am

Ashley – Hope all is well. Can we send Audrey a Get-Well Port-a-Snorg? (How do you do the tiny tm thing?)

64 el kyle 07.22.06 at 4:41 am

I have one that looks like her only “blonde”, she is an irish terrier. Her name is MOPPETT as she is half mop and half muppett. Her ears are so incredibly cute, they go 2/3 up and then down, with fur throughout.

65 Nickole 07.22.06 at 1:35 pm

Checklist:

1. Wash doggie, kitten, moose or other animal of your choice.

2. If this is not sufficient to give white fur an uniform colour, bleach fur.

3. Wait for animal to do something cute. (This shouldn’t involve babies holding the animal inexpertly, or use of babies’ accessories.)

Now take picture and send to CO. If posted, it probably won’t cause any controversy except one or two “photoshopped!” comments.

66 michele 07.22.06 at 3:53 pm

That’s not cute! It’s gross! Looks like it’s covered with pee stains!

67 Nickole 07.22.06 at 7:02 pm

I rest my case.

68 Molls 07.23.06 at 11:03 pm

That is one cute little Lily! Give her a big smootch on that muppet head for me!

69 MissMichelle 08.01.06 at 7:09 pm

The pup’s definately a cutey… but Wheaten or not, it’s also definately dirty. How to tell? Because the hind legs and butt in particular are the dirtiest parts, oh- AND the back, which lots of dogs constantly like to lay on their backs and rub… The dog doesnt have to be white fluff to be adorable, but it’d be nice if it were CLEAN. Sheesh.

70 MissMichelle 08.01.06 at 7:19 pm

…Besides, she doesnt look like a Wheaten terrier based on her snout.
Her face isnt long, like a rectangle as breeders describe the Wheaten terrier to look like. Actually, what’s odd is her head (going from this bird’s eye view) looks quite similar to a maltese, perhaps a mix?
