Australian Animal Favorites 4

by Meg on September 5, 2006

Sender-inner Michelle describes this image as "the cutest photo of a lamb in sweater I’ve ever seen." Um, I’LL SAY! Apparently, this little lambykins lives on her in-law’s farm in Australia. Absolutely, fully, and totally redonk. Looks like he’s going out to get the newspaper.

2 rpennefe 09.05.06 at 7:17 pm

I’m going to assume that the farm belongs to Michelle’s in-laws, not the in-laws of that completely adorable lambkins

6 Mandy 09.05.06 at 7:26 pm

A sheep in sheep’s clothing!

7 Courtney 09.05.06 at 7:27 pm

Lookit those pink ears!

With the sun shining through!!!

*wants to snuggle*

8 EricaE 09.05.06 at 7:27 pm

Is it just me or does lambykins look like he’s smiling?

9 Aubrey 09.05.06 at 7:28 pm

Is this a wool sweater?

Lamb: “Why am I getting this feeling of…deja vu? Yeah, that’s what I mint – MEANT, MEANT – to say!”

10 arbed 09.05.06 at 7:28 pm

Very, very cute pic. He’s so clean that he must have just had a bath – the sweater is to keep the after-bath chills away. And, ummmm, am I the only one wondering what the sweater is made from? ;-)

11 arbed 09.05.06 at 7:29 pm

Jinx, Aubrey!

12 A thinker 09.05.06 at 7:30 pm

Oh. My. Goodness.

A clean pink fuzzy glowing lambie in a grandpa sweater? *thunk* That’s it, folks, I think I’ve died.

13 zelda 09.05.06 at 7:33 pm

Can’t…take…the cuteness.

OMG!!

14 maymee 09.05.06 at 7:35 pm

Wow, they really are clean.

15 Hila 09.05.06 at 7:36 pm

That… Is the sweetest… Lamb… I’ve… *pant pant* ever…

*THUD*

16 brownamazon 09.05.06 at 7:39 pm

I just got an e-mail from my husband that said, “there’s a picture of a lamb in a sweater on Cute Overload.” Of course, I had to drop everything and come look. Eeeeee! Not only are those hoovlets clean–they feel like little erasers (it’s true.) And note the oh-so-chic Blunstones (or are they RM Williams?)lined up on the porch. The whole thing looks like a fall fashion photo shoot for Australian Vogue. Reeee-donk!

17 Lauri 09.05.06 at 7:39 pm

Aaaaaawwwwww :)
What a sweetsweet lambikins.
And, he does sorta look like Mr. Rogers. Heeeeee.

18 Laura 09.05.06 at 7:40 pm

It’s adorable!! (or would that be “anerable”? ;) )

19 RidBaxter 09.05.06 at 7:41 pm

mein gott, it’s Sean! From Wallace & Gromit’s “A Close Shave”.

lookie-see: http://home.comcast.net/~bogiebogie/blogfiles/WGSN.jpg

20 ceebs 09.05.06 at 7:41 pm

I love the knobbly knees and the fuzzly ears with the light shining through!

LOL reminds me…I met a bunch of Kiwis in Cairns & the one guy was like “I’m SO SICK of sheep jokes!!!” (I think it was an Aussie giving him a hard time, haha)

21 brownamazon 09.05.06 at 7:46 pm

And another thing:
What *are* those creatures on the sweater? Mice? Wolves? Dancing kangaroos? It’s the icing on the cake, really.

22 Theo 09.05.06 at 7:46 pm

RidBaxter — you took the words right out of my fingers.
No need to be sheepish.

23 chelsea 09.05.06 at 7:47 pm

fuzzy fuzzy ears.
i want him! i will even make him sweaters for each day of the week :]

24 Sarah 09.05.06 at 7:48 pm

Blunnies in the background! Nothing screams “Australia” more than a pair of Blundstone boots

25 Ttoby89 09.05.06 at 7:49 pm

That’s ridiculously cute. A SWEATER! And it’s a LAMB!

26 ceebs 09.05.06 at 7:50 pm

At first I thought they were minkies on teh sweater, but now I think they are meeces. Either way,
CUTE!

27 regina 09.05.06 at 7:55 pm

Is that lamby wearing a MICKEY MOUSE sweater??? OMG! He needs a snorgle!

28 Otter 09.05.06 at 7:56 pm

Platypuuuus!
I demand platypus!
well… not really demand… just… sort of suggest… please?

29 yes 09.05.06 at 7:57 pm

Awww.. how cute. Think about this lil darling next time you eat a gyro. Seriously, “Awww its so cute I could just DIE but as soon as its dead it’ll taste mighty fine!” Calves, pigs, ducks, chickens… they all feature prominently here and you all go to bits over them but YOU KILL THEM AND EAT THEM. Pure hypocrisy.

30 Theo 09.05.06 at 7:57 pm

ATTENTION WORD NERDS.
THERE ARE TWO NEW ADDITIONS AND ONE NIFTY UPDATE NOW IN THE GLOSSARY.
W00T, I SAY.

31 Aubrey 09.05.06 at 8:05 pm

Otter – a platypus plea be respected!

32 pinupkate 09.05.06 at 8:07 pm

oh goodness! it’s shaun the sheep from wallace and gromit’s “a close shave!” so cute!

33 rpennefe 09.05.06 at 8:08 pm

*offers yes a carrot stick sans veggie dip*

I’ve got a banana here too, if you’re still hungry.

34 Theo 09.05.06 at 8:17 pm

ATTENTION AGAIN WORD NERDS.
MAKE THAT *THREE* NEW GLOSSARY ADDITIONS.
W00T AND YAY.

35 A thinker 09.05.06 at 8:26 pm

I thought the sheep in Wallace & Gromit was actually called Shorn? Mmm…can somebody with more internet time than me look that one up?

36 ceebs 09.05.06 at 8:29 pm

Wow, Mariser gets her own entry in the CO glossary! nice one! (I have no idea how long that one has been there, I never looked at the whole list before)

37 Holly 09.05.06 at 8:30 pm

OMG! So cute!! Fuzzy ears and that sweet lil face. G’day mate!

38 Theo 09.05.06 at 8:31 pm

Ceebs — that was a little winking retribution, right there. It’s not new, tho.

39 Theo 09.05.06 at 8:33 pm

Tink — it was Shawn (Sean), probably *because* it sounds like “shorn”.

40 bunnajenny 09.05.06 at 8:35 pm

OMG Knobbly Knees!

41 A thinker 09.05.06 at 8:37 pm

oh, ok, tanks teho.

42 mariser 09.05.06 at 8:39 pm

ceebs,

yeppers, I is famous!
or alternatively, is what happens when you drive he-whose-name-cannot-be-spoken-owner-of-the-glossary -and-and-landlord-of-the-COHD
crazy…
;)

43 Danielle 09.05.06 at 8:50 pm

Attention Cute-mart Shoppers:

For the next 30 minutes there will be a blue-light special on all of our lamby-kins sweaters for snorgling.

Buy one, get one snorgle for free.

Have a cute day and thank you for shopping at Cute-mart.

44 verily 09.05.06 at 8:59 pm

Lambs in sweaters! I haven’t seen such a thing since I was young and in 4-H. It helps keep their coats just so after you shear ‘em.

45 Lex - Be 09.05.06 at 9:20 pm

Brownamazon, I had the same feeling about that “fall catalogue” look a like, it’s the sweater and the boots. And the liiight is… woaaaa. Where is this place?

46 Anna 09.05.06 at 9:27 pm

A platypus would surely make for original snorgles!

47 Aelice 09.05.06 at 9:36 pm

yes, I’m happy to find animals adoreable when I’m not eating or wearing them. :) What did those innocent plants ever do to you?! Some day, a device will be made so you can hear flowers scream every time they’re plucked.

48 Star Cat 09.05.06 at 9:39 pm

That is sooo disgustingly cute, I’m not even sure what to do. They look like “Barrel of Monkeys” monkeys on the sweater! (even though they aren’t, I realize this)

49 mariser 09.05.06 at 9:46 pm

T.,

not that I’m complaining (I wouldn’t dare), but…
…mebbe
…perhaps
consider adding this thread, http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/08/sleepin_on_big_.html
to the “Sound of Music, The” entry in teh COG?
IIRC, there were many fav’rite things, Alpine yodeling, and staircase performances on that thread too…

50 Ponygirl 09.05.06 at 9:51 pm

Look how small he is against the shoes behind him! Little sheepy sheep!

51 Denita TwoDragons 09.05.06 at 9:53 pm

The sweater is knitted from human back-hair… ;-)

Seriously though, that lambikins is absolutely a-friggin’-dorable!

–TwoDragons

52 Sylvia 09.05.06 at 9:58 pm

His legs are sooooo elegant! His hooves! Oh man.

53 ceebs 09.05.06 at 10:02 pm

LOL Two Dragons! good thing I wasn’t consuming a beverage at the time or I would have snarfed it right out my shnozz!

54 Subhangi 09.05.06 at 10:03 pm

LOL! SO cute.

55 PuppyDog#1 09.05.06 at 10:21 pm

Wrap that CUTIE up, and send him over to me!! LOL:)

56 Lauri 09.05.06 at 10:24 pm

Woot! Me loves teh glossary!

Lol, Aelice, good point! I even hate to pull up weeds and kill them, but dang it, it has to be done!

57 chet's momma 09.05.06 at 10:48 pm

63 betty 09.05.06 at 10:48 pm

we’ve had discussions about ahnimehls that meet you in heaven… This must be God’s front porch..that lil’ lamb is too perfect to be of this earth..he’s all “Hello there! C’mon in we’ve got wings and stuff for you!”

64 misscrisp 09.05.06 at 10:53 pm

~Happy Word Nerd~
My eyes popped a bit on first seeing Theo’s post re: COG freshitudeness. You see, I recently adopted “word nerd” as my (un)official title at ye olde workplace, and I had a panicky moment.
(i.e. OMG the MAN is now ~~speaking to me~~ through CO comments, help!)
Glad it wasn’t some kind lexicographical work emergency, just more of my favorite Teh Qte!!

did I mention that I have yet to suppress the giggles when looking at this lambkin?

65 chet's momma 09.05.06 at 10:57 pm

72 Theo 09.05.06 at 11:19 pm

Yeah, it’s the “Cliffy” voice! Like the sandwich-stealing basset hound. Okey dokes, then.

73 Kristen 09.05.06 at 11:26 pm

Do you think his mommy made him that sweater? =)

74 LilyGrace 09.05.06 at 11:45 pm

Thank you thank you thank you for making me laugh long and loud. Phew!

75 punk penguin 09.06.06 at 1:07 am

what?! the Tasmanian Devil wasn’t cute enough to rate on this site? sigh.

76 rpennefe 09.06.06 at 1:25 am

*In best tough cop voice*

Did ewe make that sweater?

Did ewe?

C’mon! If ewe didn’t do it, who the H@#$ did?

*Cowers and looks around for master PUN-isher, Aubrey*

(’cause, Dude, I know I’m so not worthy. Aubrey is my hero!)

77 StormCat 09.06.06 at 1:26 am

Betty – If that were true, and this little guy was there to greet me, I’d leave tonight!!!

Chet’s Momma – I love the imagery!!!

AND just for the record, I have a new word for my week… Woot!!!! I’ll be saying that for the rest of the week now….

woot woot woot woot woot woot….

78 Suzanne 09.06.06 at 1:29 am

I love EWE! Sooo prosh.

(did no one post this pun yet rilly??)

79 Theo 09.06.06 at 2:15 am

Ewe might scroll upward a couple of comments to RPennefe, Suzanne…

80 Denita TwoDragons 09.06.06 at 2:49 am

Theo: I’m just waiting for “Puddle of Squee” to join the august ranks of the Glossary. I’m tryin’ though! ;-)

–TwoDragons

81 Denita TwoDragons 09.06.06 at 2:50 am

BTW–am I the only one that hears “Ode To Joy” in their head when they look at your “Yay!” page…? *LOL*

–TwoYAY!Dragons

82 Chilli 09.06.06 at 2:54 am

D2D says – BTW–am I the only one that hears “Ode To Joy” in their head when they look at your “Yay!” page…? *LOL*

No you most assuredly are not the only one!!!!! I too hear it. *grin*

83 trin 09.06.06 at 3:07 am

I’m a knitter…lamb + sweater w/ teeny cute hooves… I’ve dyed!

84 R. Moore 09.06.06 at 4:19 am

GWA!

It’s so cute.

And yet, I have the most terrible craving for lamb in red wine sauce… I’m a bad person.

(slaps face) “Bad llama!”

85 Aubrey 09.06.06 at 4:53 am

To rpennefe:

-in best tough cop voice-

“Now I can be relied on to keep a secret…I won’t tell your parents, but I’ve heard a certain word coming from your direction…so: have you been ewe-sing?”

86 Denita TwoDragons 09.06.06 at 5:26 am

OMG! Has anyone else noticed that the little ivy-eater’s still got his umbilical stump?! It’s hanging out the bottom of his sweater!

Awwwwww, he’s probably still all woobly on his knobbly little legs, even! Hell, forget me being melted, I’ve done sublimated!

( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublimation_(physics) )

–TwoDragons

87 Tomatocow 09.06.06 at 5:40 am

Now the little fella needs pants. Or maybe socks.

88 tjhoster 09.06.06 at 5:51 am

the sweater has mo-effing monkey prints on it

89 Rene 09.06.06 at 6:43 am

As if lambs aren’t cute enough, this one has to be wearing a sweater. I don’t think I can stand it.

90 Darcy 09.06.06 at 7:37 am

Do sheep have eyes like goats? ‘Cause I think this one has the horizontal pupils.

91 Lauri 09.06.06 at 12:20 pm

Ok, scrolled up to see, Yes! He does have his umbilical stump AND horizontal pupils!

(of course, many boring teachers have horizontal pupils) narnar.

92 ceebs 09.06.06 at 1:48 pm

ok….the term “umbilical stump” is not cute…it’s creeping me out! :-$
:-P
{shudders}

93 Denita TwoDragons 09.06.06 at 2:57 pm

I don’t think they have any cute nicknames for it, Ceebs…sowwy! @.@

He’s probably only a day or two old. Maybe he has the sweater on to keep his little newborn body warm!

–TwoDragons

94 Lauri 09.06.06 at 7:01 pm

Lol. How about bellybutton string?

95 Denita TwoDragons 09.06.06 at 8:24 pm

Maybe it’s a lambilicus…? ;-)

–TwoDragons

96 Theo 09.06.06 at 9:08 pm

stop STOP *S*T*O*O*O*O*P*!*!*!*

Don’t make me break out the sporks.

97 Arvay 09.06.06 at 11:04 pm

It behooves me to post on how cute this creature is. I wanna lamb!

98 Theo 09.06.06 at 11:25 pm

Arvay — word to the wiseass: Go here.

Camera puns! Teh w00t.

99 RockOn 09.06.06 at 11:39 pm

Cutest picture of a lamb in a sweater would imply that there are a LOT of pictures of lambs in sweaters out there, no?? :) VERY cute…

100 snusnu 09.07.06 at 12:14 am

It’s Shaun!

101 Kendal 09.07.06 at 1:34 am

My mum’s dog has that sweater! But he’s too fat for it.

102 Theo 09.07.06 at 2:02 am

Hey, I just remembered this…
http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/06/stop_the_insani.html

…not sure why lambiekins didn’t remind me of this sooner.

103 Aubrey 09.07.06 at 2:59 am
104 Theo 09.07.06 at 3:10 am

Ooh ooh where’s the tree sweater??! Hang on…

105 Theo 09.07.06 at 3:11 am
106 ceebs 09.07.06 at 3:28 am

I would name him Lambert.

for a baby in an old man’s sweater.

107 Heidi 09.07.06 at 3:41 am

Ooohhh!!! I want to BE right there, on that porch, looking at the sun shining through lambykins ear and marveling at the prosh gangly legs… I am going to look at this picture over and over and over!!! OMG!!!

108 o 09.07.06 at 5:27 pm

His momma made that cute sweater….quite litterally!

109 karen 09.27.06 at 6:03 pm

hehe — lamb’s wool sweater!

110 James 11.20.06 at 2:03 am

for anyone who’s interested, i’m the photographer and the lamb’s name is Hannibal.

those of you who asked for him to be packaged up and sent over by express might be interested to know that he now looks a lot like this :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/jamesg/kel%20and%20sim/discussion.jpg

(my wife – the original poster – is on the left)

we shore him on the weekend. he was HEAVY.
