    Too cute for words. I bet there is some wonderful toy just outside the frame of the photo, and this pup is about to pounce!

  2. cowsharky says:

    Ahhhhh, sploding head…not that I feel it with my cold, but sploding nevertheless…

  3. pugmamatimestwo says:

    Trouble with a capital “Qte”!

  4. NebraskaErin says:

  5. Cat says:

    Puparobics?

  11. Loris says:

    (As in pup, not pupa. I look forward to some cute smiley pupae in the near future.)

    [snurrgk] BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

  13. Dave says:

    Come on now. Please tell me that this is really a photoshopped image of a dog and a rabbit. No dog could be that cute…could it?

  14. HeidiB says:

    Puplaties Classes Anyone?

  15. Theo says:

    Dave — sounds like you’re thinking of the elusive Dagnabbit, cousin to the Lesser Southwestern Jackalope. And those are TOTALLY real.

  16. rpennefe says:

    Tell me, Tocktor, is there anything I can do for this asploding head condition I am suffering from?

  17. Subhangi says:

    [puts on Cuteologist glasses]

    This picture tells us three things:

    1) There’s something or someone to the left, out of frame, that puppy wants to pounce on – and he’s crouching with his ‘tocks in the air.

    2) There’s something or someone to the right, out of frame, that puppy ABSOLUTELY hates – and he’s mooning at it.

    3) The puppy thinks he’s a skunk.

  18. karisma says:

    I want one!!! Too C U T E!

  19. chacha says:

    I think we have a “best puppy picture EVAR” here.

  20. ceejoe says:

    With the kittehs, we call that elevator butt. Scritch em riiiiight there and the tocks go up!

  21. skippy says:

    rpennefe- Tocktor! you mean like a Tocktologist?

    what a delightful pup!

  22. Renee says:

    “tockin’”? HAHAHA

  24. Dahlia says:

    Oh my god, too much.
    What breed is that little snackable scruffers?

  25. Aubrey says:

    This picture convinces me – that every animal to be posted on CO should go through a ‘tocks screen, first.

  26. faerie says:

    I think we have a new cuteness rule here. right along with the “paws up” it’s “tucks up” !

  27. StormCat says:

    *holding ears*

    The Puns!!!!!!!! Oh gosh, that puns…..

  28. Michelle says:

    It is a Norfolk Terrier.

  29. Laurie C says:

    This should be the illustration in my yoga book under “downward-facing dog”.

  30. Redzilla says:

    I give you: Downward Facing Dog. The mystery is solved. (and his yoga form is perfecto.)

  31. Redzilla says:

    Poke, poke, you owe me a Coke, LaurieC. LOL

  32. jaypo says:

    eeep! [splody]

  33. Tina says:

    OH SNAP THIS IS CUTE!

  34. Amie says:

    The pup’s bod is facing the wrath of gravity-except his tock-hind.

  35. Amie says:

    StormCat, puns= puppy buns. :]

  36. Thorne says:

    … are we even sure that’s a /real/ puppy?! It looks like a plushie!
    I have this urge to grab it and feel all that fuzz….

    *groansnicker* Ohh .. the pun-ishment …

  37. A thinker says:

    WOOF!

    That is one cute puppers. Meg, I think you’re on a one-woman campaign the last few days to get me to like doggies…

  38. A thinker says:

    And *snort*, Subhangi…

  39. AuntieMame says:

    Ah, Mr Livingstone, thank you. Sake and bakewells tart. Well, chaps, buttocks up!

    Rather.

  40. jessica says:

    I would really like to know what kind of dog this is. He is sooo cute!

  41. firefinch says:

    Cute, but how about some bun-tocks? It has been nearly a MONTH since the last bunneh post!

  42. Redzilla says:

    I think Thorne is right–it DOES look like a plushie puppie. Wonder if it has a squeaker inside…quick, somebody squeeze him.

  43. HonorH says:

    His head looks a little smudged, like he was in motion at the instant the picture was taken. Which, let’s face it, he probably was, being a terrier and thus constitutionally incapable of staying still for more than a millisecond at a time. But the tocks! The tocks are killing me!

  44. zelda says:

    Can’t…take…the…CUTENESS!!!

  45. jaypo says:

    The front paws keel mee–one curled up, one down. erf.

  46. Danielle says:

    Crouching Puppy. Hidden Desire.

  47. soxfan says:

    Ohhhh, killin’ me. You know one millisecond after this pic was snapped, that tail was whippin’ backnforth so fast it woulda been a blur. Also accompanied by a sweet loud YIP! Love de pups.

  48. Mad_Mike says:

    Congratulations to submitter for catching one of the two times the little guy was standing still all day. I’ll bet he took off like a rocket, ears flapping in the breeze, not a nanosecond after the flash.

    He needs his ears scratched – any volunteers?

  49. Diem says:

    Must gently pinch little tocks,

    Must gently beep little nose.

    He doesn’t have on any socks,

    Let’s help him warm his toes!

  50. Clotypus says:

    Holy Fuzzy Buttkins!

    That tail is just shy of 15 degrees from being parallel with the ground!

  51. Mook says:

    You put your tocks in the air.
    You put your nose on the ground,
    Stick your tocks in the air
    and you shake it all around…

  52. jaypo says:

    Tock tocks Bo-tocks
    Banana fana faux socks

    *EARWORM ALERT* *EARWORM ALERT*

  53. BlurpleBerry says:

    I think I had a cute orgasm after looking at that.

  54. gwenchocolate says:

    Oh my got
    this is the puppy that is in cute heaven
    i just know it

  55. Lauri says:

    Cutest puptocks ever. I wanna scritch them!

    ‘tocks screen….maybe best pun ever, Oh Great One.

    This pic is a moment of suspended animation. Next millisecond his whole body had boinged completely out of the screen!

  56. argentee says:

    It’s just a pounce to the left…
    And then some ‘tocks the right!
    put your heads on your paws
    And tuck your paws in ti-i-ight.
    It’s just the cosmic fluff!
    That really drives you insa-a-ane…
    Let’s do the snor-GLE again!

  57. AuntieMame says:

    Awesome, argentee! LOL!

  58. Theo says:

    ‘Tocks Screen: a wicker chair.
    Possibly rattan.

  59. Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ says:

    LOL! Whatchew tockin’ ’bout Willis?!

  60. ElfOwl says:

    I’m in quarantine. I have strep. Cute O is keeping me sane. We went through a puppy drought for a while, and i don’t begrudge the bunny fans their requests, but this and the puppy dog eyes and the five puppies looking through the fence are just what the doctor *would* have ordered. If he was a Cute O fan like us.

  61. Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ says:

    Awww! Wook at da wittow poppy dok tock!!!

  62. TastesLikeChicken says:

    Total puppy overload. The tail, the ears, the cute….

  63. Aubrey says:

    Elfie, I’ve had the strep, and it’s Not Fun. It was how I found out that I was allergic to pennicillin, in fact. And that doubled the Not Fun quotient.

    Hold hard, and I hope you condition does not become acute. But that it becomes a-cute, instead.

    You know what I mean.

  64. Lauri says:

    Acute tockitis!

    Lol, teho, tockscreen….like panning for buns?

    And NDwarfie! Rofl….whatchu tockin’ bout.
    How did I survive 36 hours without CO????

  65. Brak_Silverbone says:

    This has GOT to be a toy!

  66. jaypo says:

    Elfie, I hope you’re feeling better soon, po’ bebeh.

  67. Lauri says:

    Elfie, a good couple o days on antibiotics, and you should start feeling lots better! ‘Tocks up! :)

  68. hrh.squeak says:

    Does it help the poor bun-deprived peeps that this Cutie McPouncersons has a tail *just like a bun’s*?

  69. PuppyMomma says:

    Love pup-tocks!

  70. jo says:

    What kind of dog is that? It is sooooo cute!

  71. Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ says:

    Thank ya, Lauri!

    Cute with the “NDwarfie” btw! Thank ya, x 2!
    ;oD

  72. Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ says:

    hrh squeak

    Yes, it sure does help that his tail looks like a bun buns tail.
    LOL!

  73. Michelle says:

    Already been identified as a Norfolk Terrier.

  74. Theo says:

    but what KIIIIIIIIIIINND of Norwich Terror???

  75. Aubrey says:

    Witch Terror? Is it Halloween already? How long have I been on CO?

  76. Danielle says:

    Witch Terror. Witch Terror. Nope, no witch terror.

    Got lots of witch hazel, though.

    here you go…

  77. Kate says:

    Alright, I am going to express my ignorance. What the heck is a ‘tock? What’s that short for? thanks :)

  78. Aubrey says:

    Kate, that’s brave of you. ‘Tocks is short for buttocks, witness:

    We admire and marvel at them. I hope you’ve enjoyed this brief ‘tock attock.

    OK, that’s me done for a few days. I’m off to Vegas (YAY) and will be back on Tuesday. Or late Monday. Whatever.

    Be strong, be happy, be cute. And leave all puddings at the door. My valet will see to them.

  79. Michelle says:

    Not a Norwich. Norfolk. And there is only one kind.

  80. Thorne says:

    I maintain it looks like a plushie. It’s too cute to be real! (and if it really is a Terror, then it’s also too /still/ to be real! Heh)

    … I’m taking a time-out from up-ending my kitchen into boxes/kitty litter buckets. Is there any butterscotch pudding left?

  81. Lauri says:

    Just made up a fresh batch, Thorne! I hope you are moving, and not just throwing your kitchen out in a fit of frustration! :)

    *Holds out the spoon and the whole bowl*

  82. Lauri says:

    LOL…oh man, just caught the No Witch Terror parts.

    (they were flying all over the room!)

  83. Lauri says:

    Folks! *wink*

  84. Jan Spencer says:

    EVERYBODY SING!

    “PUT YOUR TOCKS IN THE AIR AND WAVE THEM LIKE YA JUST DON’T CARE!”

    CUUUUUTE!

  85. tomi says:

    this is, of freakin course, the standard freakin doggy “lets play” pose….he’s not mooning anyone or doing the hokey pokey, tho he obviously IS tocking….

  86. Theo says:

    [moons Cap'n Obvious]

  87. tomi says:

    which reminds me, 40 years too late, that

    “Everybodys tockin at me

    I dont hear a word they’re sayin…..”

    only the echoes of CO….thank DOG

  88. Wendy says:

    Oh my goodness, what a little cutie patootie!

    I wanna bite the ‘tocks!

  89. michellemybelle says:

    tomi – I love that song (both original and ‘tock version)!

  90. tomi says:

    funny, michellemybelle—I hated it. OTOH am a huge Beatle fan.

    and please, can someone tell me if the “Cap’n Obvious” remark was aimed at my comment, i.e. me? I’m no longer familiar with public incivility, so have some trouble recognizing it now…

  91. Theo says:

    [wink] for Tomi.

    I know the “let’s play” pose. Still funnier to imagine Le Dogue pouncing (or mooning).

  92. tomi says:

    thank you Theo—I remember some flaming going on here awhile ago, tho not from you. I was hoping all was cool, but you never know when the flames will burst out…at my age I do not wish to engage in such, but I do remember how…

    meanwhile forget all that—more CUTENESS and VIVE LA CO

  93. sue says:

    SHUT UP you did not just say “now we’re tockin’” AAARRHHHH!!!

  94. william congreve says:

    nothing says “i’m an idiot” like using the word ‘tock
