9 Tony James 08.31.06 at 5:20 pm

Holy Krap! Saw the first pik and thought it was a seal/sealion/piniped! Maybe the COHQHRPD can send me on an Animal Recognition 101 refresher course…

10 mariser 08.31.06 at 5:23 pm

Teej,

14 Diana S. 08.31.06 at 5:25 pm

This pup totally looks like a little seal baby! AW!! so CUTE! and his teeny weeny fat tummy is utterly precious.

I just squealed out loud at work, and I don’t care!!

15 bunnajenny 08.31.06 at 5:29 pm

I didn’t see a seal, but I had this horrible thought that Roofees had shrunk while in the bath.

16 mariser 08.31.06 at 5:32 pm

bunnaj,

omfg, that’s high-lay-roos!
poor roofees!

are these little fella’s ears longer than his legs?

that’s unpossible. the world has no meaning now.

19 gwenchocolate 08.31.06 at 5:40 pm

OH.

GOT.
THE EAR(S) PEOPLE, THE EAR(S)!
AND THE TUMMEH!

20 hrh.squeak 08.31.06 at 5:50 pm

Mariser – Not only are his ears longer than his legs, his head is larger than the rest of him, adorable wrinkly milkbelleh and all. Squeeeeeee!!!!

(Bunnajenny, you genius.)

21 Aubrey 08.31.06 at 5:51 pm

Rub-a-dub-paw
A pup in a spa;
And what do you think he’ll do?
He’ll roll and he’ll yelp,
With duckie and himself;
And that sea of white bunnehs too.

22 Sylvia 08.31.06 at 5:53 pm

I’m dyink here.

Look at that belly. The ears! The paws!

23 fate 08.31.06 at 5:58 pm

hehe he looks like a monk wit a white robe! classic!

24 Sylvia 08.31.06 at 5:58 pm

Aubrey, I just can’t live without CO and your rhymes anymore. Please never go away.

25 DPOI 08.31.06 at 5:59 pm

Little grey sock!
Little grey sock!

26 tinaj 08.31.06 at 6:07 pm

Am I the only perv who thinks the last pic is naughty?

Doggy gynie!!!

27 A thinker 08.31.06 at 6:07 pm

Hey look! It’s Pervert the Duck’s clean-cut cousin.

28 Meg 08.31.06 at 6:10 pm

Does anyone else think the rubber ducky looks confused?

Eep! Teh cuteness is overwhelmingk!

:)

29 A thinker 08.31.06 at 6:10 pm

Ceejoe beat me to it :)

30 jaypo 08.31.06 at 6:11 pm

Did someone say ROOFEES?!!?

[looks around with hope afading]

31 crystal 08.31.06 at 6:17 pm

Oh, now you can tell that little baby is spoiled. But how can you not spoil him? Look at him! *faints*

32 MissV 08.31.06 at 6:19 pm

Pink belly, pink belly!

Oh man. I gotta go buy a baby bathrobe for my chihuahua. She’s gonna hate it…

33 jenne 08.31.06 at 6:23 pm

I love the wheeskerage in the first pic :)

And yeah I had the same thought about him shrinking in the tub! He looks so tiny in the 2nd pic! lol! [and CUTE]

And.. Pervert the Duck..? I missed something.. :(

34 Ulli 08.31.06 at 6:39 pm
35 Aubrey 08.31.06 at 6:40 pm

Jenne:

Scroll down to the picture of the whirl-pool tub thing and read – though I heartily recommend that you make yourself a latte, pull up a plush seat and read the entire discourse.

CeeJoe, Thinker — you know that’s the first thing *I* thought of, too. Naughty duckie.

Wow. We are all really *on* today, peeps :)

39 Beauregard 08.31.06 at 6:49 pm

OH. MY. GOD.

40 Beauregard 08.31.06 at 6:50 pm

Also, Alexandra, what is her name??

41 tinaj 08.31.06 at 6:57 pm

Theo

I was actually referring to the suggestive folds twixt the dog’s legs. The dog is the dirty dirty slut.

42 ceejoe 08.31.06 at 6:58 pm

tee hee I love her little sideways come hither look…

43 Aoife 08.31.06 at 6:59 pm

I want to play with those little belly wrinkles!

44 brownamazon 08.31.06 at 7:02 pm

mariser: It’s the elusive North American bath otter… looking suspiciously like a bebe Jack Russell terrorist.

45 Layla 08.31.06 at 7:05 pm

The pink jelly bean toe-pads! They keel me!

46 jenne 08.31.06 at 7:09 pm

Ahaaaa! I get it now! I was pretty new to CO when that was posted and I probably didnt “get” it or retain it or whatever. All the kimono references make sense now too! ;)

47 kcahill 08.31.06 at 7:39 pm

And I thought baby humans were cute wrapped in towels. But this is WAAAAAY cuter. Yum yum yummy…

48 bunnajenny 08.31.06 at 7:44 pm

hrh, I wish I was a genius, but I’m just a girl sitting on a web site looking for an Italian Greyhound.

I tewtally heart IGs and busband and I really wanted one until we realized that Georgie-cat would weigh more than it and would likely break it with some rambunctious play.

49 Subhangi 08.31.06 at 7:51 pm

AWWWWWWWW!!!! PUPPEH BELLEH!!!!

*tickles*

50 Saahira 08.31.06 at 7:51 pm

its done… i’ve barfed rainbows all over the desk.. now what am i supposed to do wtih the doggone rainbows????

51 someguyonthenet 08.31.06 at 7:51 pm

Aww, that’s a cute little guy.

Sock with a knot in the middle! The preferred puppy toy! We used to make them for our daschund when he was a little puppy (years ago, way before cuteoverload). :)

52 cosmiquemuffin 08.31.06 at 7:52 pm

The BELLEH! The EAR! The NIBBLES! The DUCKY!

**I dies, happy**

53 Lauren 08.31.06 at 8:02 pm

For the love of pete!! I just can’t take it, puppy is too cute! But where does one get such a cute bathrobe for small doggies? I know my hua-hua would probably hate it, but it’d make drying off after the dreaded bath-time so much easier (with much less chasing). Any ideas?

54 bunnajenny 08.31.06 at 8:05 pm

Lauren: handsnpaws.com is notorious for its anerable puppywear. I was looking at halloween costumes the other day…and happened to come across a very fetching ducky robe.

55 Tracy 08.31.06 at 8:15 pm

That second pic is LETHAL. And that dog knows it too — she knows what she’s doing. Trying to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

56 kayte 08.31.06 at 8:22 pm

Little babeh Jackies look sooooo sweet but grow up into such sh** disturbers!

57 Shawn 08.31.06 at 8:25 pm

I really want to give him a zerbert on his little pink belly!

58 justelite 08.31.06 at 8:37 pm

Cute.

Saahira – You know, when the king of all the Cosmos barfs rainbows, it takes the little prince back up to the sky…

(Take a gander at the Royal Rainbow explanation and all will become clear…well…sort of….)

60 A Fine Morsel 08.31.06 at 8:45 pm

I want to squish them together and do a double-snorgle!

61 soxfan 08.31.06 at 8:50 pm

Lauren, I bet this place has lil bathrobes. Even if they don’t, it’s just an anerable place to look around in anyway. And you can have them send you a catalog in the mail, which is even more anerable than the website, if you can believe that!

62 Stephanie S. 08.31.06 at 8:50 pm

ooohhhh!!!!!!!!!!

63 Stephanie S. 08.31.06 at 8:50 pm

this website renders me speechless!

64 brownamazon 08.31.06 at 9:09 pm

Newsflash, peeps: this just in (sorry about the cut can’t find the original link):

LONDON (Reuters) -Hedgehogs have finally humbled burger giant McDonald’s after years of campaigning, forcing the company to redesign its killer McFlurry ice-cream containers.

Up to now the opening in the container has been large enough for
hedgehogs to get their heads into for a lick of the left-over dessert –
a trap they have then been unable to withdraw from, so dying of starvation in untold numbers.

But from September 1, the wide-mouthed opening in the lid of the McFlurry containers will be reduced in size, making them too small for the sugar-loving animals to get their heads into.

“This is excellent, it is long overdue news,” said Fay Vass, chief
executive of the British Hedgehog Preservation Society. “We have been in
touch with McDonald’s about this problem for over five years and are delighted that they have at last solved the problem.”

McDonald’s said in a statement the design change had resulted from
pressure from the society which prompted “significant research and design testing” to develop new packaging.

“The smaller aperture of the lid has been designed to prevent hedgehogs
from entering the McFlurry container in the unfortunate incidence that a lid is littered and is then accessible to wildlife,” it added.

65 Rhea Harding 08.31.06 at 9:13 pm

he’s so cute! awww!!!

66 Michelle 08.31.06 at 9:15 pm

Yes Kayte, they don’t call them Jack Russell Terriorists for nothing. I know one that ate the baby Jesus from a nativity scene. Notty.

67 Beauregard 08.31.06 at 9:15 pm

“The smaller aperture of the lid has been designed to prevent hedgehogs
from entering the McFlurry container” is the funniest thing I have read in a news article EVER.

68 Tracy 08.31.06 at 9:21 pm

brownamazon: I found the link:

I don’t BELIEVE that’s a real story! I thought at first that you were being silly!

69 Tony James 08.31.06 at 9:26 pm

Apparently McNasty containers aren’t the only things that Private Prickles and his army buddy Captain Quilstein need to be rescused from…

70 Lauri 08.31.06 at 9:28 pm

Definitely “little grey sock, little grey sock”!

And that duck has an “I shot JR” look on his face.

71 brownamazon 08.31.06 at 9:31 pm

Would I lie to my peeps? Anyway, I could not make this stuff up!

72 jaypo 08.31.06 at 9:41 pm

Does “little grey sock” mean something I’m missing? Or is it just…a little grey sock and cute cuz the puppeh is there?

73 jaypo 08.31.06 at 9:43 pm

brownA, I thought it might be joke too because that’s such a funny sentence. But I hedged my bets and came up clean.

74 Laurie C 08.31.06 at 9:45 pm

jaypo, in the comic strip Mutts, the cat has a fixation for a little pink sock. He’s always singing to it as he cuddles it “little pink sock, little pink sock…”

75 AmyH 08.31.06 at 9:47 pm

Jaypo, if you don’t have Mutts in your paper, oh so very sad! Mooch was playing with his Little Pink Sock today and everything!

76 brownamazon 08.31.06 at 9:51 pm

Where’s Aubrey when you need her? :)

77 vlohma 08.31.06 at 9:57 pm

There’s a stretchy-necked, E.T. quality to that puppeh that is quite adorable.

78 Silence Dogood 08.31.06 at 9:58 pm

Anyone else notice that this puppeh seems to have 4 separate haircare products? I feel glamorous if I use two!

If I would end up that cute I would use 32 different products!

79 Lisa 08.31.06 at 10:01 pm

Awwwww…Look at the stubby lil legs!
I love Jack russels! They’re so cute and such friendly hyper dogs.

80 AuntieMame 08.31.06 at 10:05 pm

Ordinarily, I would be the last person to defend McDonalds, since I detest the place and wouldn’t eat there if I was starving and it was the only food source left on the planet, but I feel compelled to say that if *&^$# people threw their @#^&% trash in the *@%#$& trashbin, the size of the aperture on the McFlurry container would be irrelevant.

(Not a fan of passing the blame…)

81 Aubrey 08.31.06 at 10:14 pm

BrownA:

I spent my entire lunchtime muscling my way through an endless summer of bunnehs!

What’s all this about socks? You shouldn’t have your pets playing with them, actually, as there is always the danger of gaiters lurking in the background.

82 jaypo 08.31.06 at 10:18 pm

Thanks, Laurie and Amy–I shall look it up!

83 fawn lust 08.31.06 at 10:19 pm

where in the name of all that’s holy do you buy tiny puppy-sized spa robes?!

so cute, i can’t STAND eet…!

84 jaypo 08.31.06 at 10:20 pm

EEEEE!! Aubrey gets a big gold star!!

85 Lauren 08.31.06 at 10:25 pm

Thank you so much for the links. My puppy dog will loathe me for all the cute things I buy him, ha ha. Also, horray for McD’s doing something to make sure hedgies don’t get stuck in their horrible containers.

86 Tracy 08.31.06 at 10:31 pm

“What’s all this about socks? You shouldn’t have your pets playing with them, actually, as there is always the danger of gaiters lurking in the background.”

Um, wha? You mean there’s the possibility they’ll think it’s okay to attack socks when they’re on people?

(Actually my kitty only attacks my feet when I’m wearing big thick socks. It’s like he knows I’m too vulnerable without. It still hurts a bit, but I let him because it seems like he’s showing “care.” :) Eh, they’re my feet, and I find it very cute…)

87 AmyH 08.31.06 at 10:37 pm

Full agreement, Auntie Mame. That was my first thought as well. I don’t understand how people can willfully litter and not think it’s wrong. If these li’l fellers are climbing into the trash, then it’s probably too much to ask that people dismantle their McFrosty containers the same way you are supposed to cut up the six-pack holder-thingy. (There must be a name for it, but I’m too tired to think of it.)

88 E. Collison 08.31.06 at 10:41 pm

I’m sorry, peeps (and Meg, of coures), but Rufus is the *only* pup who’s allowed to talk like this.

So where’s he been? You *must* bring him back for an encore!

89 lurkertype 08.31.06 at 10:56 pm

Aw, I think it’s okay — this dewd is Mini-Roofees, after all! (see above)

TuxKit is asleep, as is HRTortie, so I have a few moments to myself.

90 arbed 08.31.06 at 11:00 pm

Okay, this has absolutely nothing to do with this very adorable puppy, but I didn’t know where else to link it. I got it from a friend by email and it’s too funny/amazing not to share. I will caution though – don’t click if you are afraid of, ummm, slightly adult-oriented comedy.

91 Danielle 08.31.06 at 11:06 pm

The rubber ducky looks like he’s humming…

“hmmm hmmm hmmm . . . just waiting for a bus.”

92 bunnajenny 08.31.06 at 11:53 pm

Tracy…I think Aubrey’s been at her punny best at it’s really all about the lurking gaiters.

93 Lauri 09.01.06 at 12:38 am

Arbed, that is really strange/scary and funny. The whole time I am watching I am trying to think, how does someone get into that line of work?
(Not that I WANT to, just trying to imagine the thought process!)

Aubrey and “at her punny best” is repetitious. I have only ever seen her at her punny best! ;)

This summer has flown by (AGAIN) way too fast. There’s a chill in the evenings, now and the trees are changing colors. Sigh.

To mix metaphors, summer has flown and time absolutely gallops by.

However, my very very very favotite holiday is coming!!! Halloweeeeeeeen!

94 Michelle 09.01.06 at 12:38 am

arbed, that’s really a cute video. I had already predicted the finale about halfway through, but thought she’d pull a twist on us and find it in her shoe. Very funny.

95 Lauri 09.01.06 at 12:39 am

*crap on a stick* it’s my favoRite holiday. I don’t even know what a favotite holiday is.

96 Melissa 09.01.06 at 12:56 am

Awwwww!! Da bewwy!! Da widdow bewwy!!!

97 jaypo 09.01.06 at 1:14 am

arbed,
Bet she can’t do that with rubber ducky…

98 arbed 09.01.06 at 1:18 am

Jaypo: Hmmm, she probably can, but man, I bet it would hurt!

99 RJ 09.01.06 at 1:37 am

Omigawd! He looks like a cross between E.T. and a baby seal in that robe! I can’t stand it!

Yeah, I’d be worried about letting him play with socks, too. When our kitty J.J. was a kitten, we used to give her gray socks and some gray rags from my husband’s torn up t-shirts to play with (tug o’ war, wrestling, etc.). She got so used to it, that she would “attack” and try to wrestle anyone wearing gray socks or gray t-shirts! It took awhile to break her of that habit. :-)

100 Lauren 09.01.06 at 1:50 am

Wow, three comments in one post in one day…I must be terribly bored at work. To get in on the sock debate/conversation we give our dog the mismatched or holey socks on wash day. He knows that the socks with the knots are for him, and all others are not. Though he does have a tendency to sleep in the clean laundry pile, I think that’s more because he’s spoiled. The only harm we’ve seen come of it is the occasional bathroom problem of undigested strings. Horrid.

101 BebeGooroo 09.01.06 at 1:56 am

I got a distinct The Virgin Mary vibe going when I first saw it…

(It’s the way Co.com first loads, u have to scroll down to see the legs)

Yah. That ducky looks Teh Confuzzled…

102 Tanya 09.01.06 at 1:57 am

ok! Cute overload rocks! That is a cute puppy!! I love it!! I made c.o something! here-http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h212/Bunniscene/C.png

103 brownamazon 09.01.06 at 3:11 am

arbed: whoa. Definitely saw the ,um, end coming. The whole kinky librarian thing was more creepy than funny. But I’ll admit, I too found myself thinking, “how’d she get it in there?”

104 Margaret 09.01.06 at 3:12 am

Am I the only one who immediately thought of Rocky? Is that duck not saying “Hit the one in the middle”?

105 Robbie 09.01.06 at 3:40 am

I REALLY want to squeeze that poopy’s belly!

106 iportion 09.01.06 at 6:15 am

Those doggies are too cute but they say smaller dogs get colder in winter.

Makes me almost want to get a dog. I like looking at other people’s pets :-)
all the cute without the work

107 Lauri 09.01.06 at 11:25 am

LOL….where are the classic art reproductions to go with the first pic?
The Virgin Mary?
Rocky?
ET?
Lol….too bad I am late for work already! :P

108 Alexis 09.01.06 at 12:27 pm

Ahhhh! I’ve been so busy this week I haven’t checked out CO and now I have so much to look at and read!

I love the look of Jack Russells – absolutely great looking little dogs. But I have heard that they can be a little evil. I can’t imagine this one ever being evil though… So cute.

109 Molls 09.01.06 at 2:51 pm

This baby looks like another fine example of “stubtetude”!

110 Tiffany 09.01.06 at 4:51 pm

aaah! is it just me or is the first one totally ” I’m ready for my close up Mr. DeMille.” ?

111 Brak_Silverbone 09.01.06 at 6:23 pm

What a lucky li’l pup, to have her very own rubber ducky! And she’s got such a kissable pink belly, too. And the LITTLE SHORT LEGS-!

112 Petra 09.01.06 at 9:07 pm

Meg: my life is infinitely better since finding your faboo site. Makes me soooo revel in happiness to see the cuteness that abounds. plus your commentary is prosh. bisous!

113 J. Bo 09.02.06 at 1:28 am

Lauren, I like sleeping in the clean laundry pile, too. Sooo warm…

114 J. Bo 09.02.06 at 1:29 am

P.S. And sometimes, if you’re lucky, you find a puppy in there, too!

115 ben 09.02.06 at 6:13 am

What we are failing to notice here is the “Little Rascals” style eye-patch. Ridiculous.

116 caitlin 09.02.06 at 2:18 pm

haha! he looks like a little Jedi in that bathrobe :)

117 elena 09.02.06 at 6:49 pm

ey I don’t speak english very well but what is this the race of the dog?? I love it!! I want a give a hug!!!! please aswer I want a this doggy!!!

119 Lauri 09.04.06 at 1:31 am

This is a Jack Russell Terrior.

I think. :)

Very cute and sweet, and boneheaded when grown. A JRT had our cat “treed” on our woodpile. So I went out with the hose and sprayed the bugger, thinking that would send him on his way.

Full hose spray….he didn’t even notice. I sidled between the terror and the cat and rescued said cat. Very determined buggers, JRTs.

120 Lauri 09.04.06 at 1:32 am

Geezopete, Jack Russell Terrier. ?
When does “Spellcheck” become automatic on …everything?

121 Theo 09.04.06 at 1:38 am

Actually I think you spelled it right when you wrote this: “I sidled between the terror and the cat…”

122 lady 09.05.06 at 3:43 am

Oh Baby!
