Aww!

Far away in the lonely night, a dog was heard HONKING!

3 C.M. 10.23.06 at 5:42 pm

So cute! I love Corgis.

4 Kim H. 10.23.06 at 5:42 pm

Much cuter than any of the bus drivers I’ve ever seen. Corgi Bus Lines, comin’ thru!!

5 Dara 10.23.06 at 5:44 pm

Hey, you kids! Don’t make me come back there!

6 Redzilla 10.23.06 at 5:46 pm

Best. Costume. EVAR! [gasp]

I used to really like Halloween, but now that CO is doing animal costumes all through October, I LUV Halloween.

Oh, and hey, which breed of dog do you suppose corresponds to the pot-smoking slackers who always sat in the back?

7 A thinker 10.23.06 at 5:49 pm

Man, some peeps are pretty Klever with the dog costumes.

8 Deckard Canine 10.23.06 at 5:50 pm

Redzilla — Basset hound? I hear they’re rather inactive.

9 Distractor 10.23.06 at 5:50 pm

I have two Corgis and I MUST find out where Jennifer found this adorable costume. It seems like it wouldn’t be too uncomfortable for the dogs to wear.

10 mlle_x 10.23.06 at 5:51 pm

I just startled my coworkers with a Cute Squeal. SQUEEEEEEE!

11 MamaDawn 10.23.06 at 6:03 pm

The wheels on the dog go round and round…..

12 ShelleyTambo 10.23.06 at 6:04 pm

Is this homemade? I can’t imagine something so location specific (I assume West Deptford, NJ) would be mass produced.

13 mariser 10.23.06 at 6:10 pm

short bus joke!

14 HaHa 10.23.06 at 6:11 pm

Thank you for reminding me of my favorite pair of shoes. I had a pair of school bus yellow Chuck Taylor Converse. They had windows printed around the ankles, and wheels at the bottom next to the ground. It made me feel happy to wear my funny bus shoes. I wore them till they fell apart. (Yes, I was a young adult at the time. Hee! I gots me some bitty feets.) Thanks doggie and owner for reminding me of happy memories.

15 Martha 10.23.06 at 6:11 pm

omg…dead. HAS anyone ever actually died from laughing?

16 Rumi 10.23.06 at 6:12 pm

That pupster actually looks happy to be wearing the costume, lol — he’s smiling!

17 Karen 10.23.06 at 6:17 pm

Pets in costumes! I love how they all have these “Look at Me, I’m Dressed up and Oh-so-CUTE!” looks on their faces, esp. this guy and the hot dog doggie from last week lol

Alas, this is not my pooch but the picture of a precious corg sent to me by a friend of a friend of a friend of a….

I do believe this costume is homemade (note the imperfect shape of the tires). In fact, I have FREQUENTLY frequented the pet costume websites and have never seen this one before.

The caption on this costume says “eva” is from Mantua, NJ and her “mom’s” name is alison.

20 Chris Tucker 10.23.06 at 6:52 pm

I’ll wager the windows were printed out on “T-shirt transfer” paper, transferred to fabric and then sewn/hotglued to the “bus”. Likely the lettering, too.

VERY clever and very sweet.

21 Josh 10.23.06 at 7:02 pm

The corgi in the second panel should be wearing the same costume, then again, and again into infinity.

22 hrh.squeak 10.23.06 at 7:03 pm

Where’s his teeny tailio? Or do Corgis come in Stumpy? The ‘tocks on that would be Awwwwsome.

23 Allie and Jojo's Mom 10.23.06 at 7:08 pm

*ahem

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pembroke corgis definantly serve some seriously cute ‘tocks. Tail stumpitude is the bestest!

24 ceebs 10.23.06 at 7:13 pm

oh yeah, the stumpy Corgis (I think only one brand of them is stumpy) have the best ‘tocks. A neighbor of mine (now moved away) had a corgi, and on their truck bumper they had a corgi ‘tock sticker! it cracked me up every time I walked by it.

25 Allie and Jojo's Mom 10.23.06 at 7:18 pm

For those who wondered or cared:

Pembroke Welsh Corgi ary the stumpy version. They also have different legs and ear shapes and are the cutest (in my humble opinion)

Cardiagn Welsh Corgis have the long talios to waggle.

26 pendlerpiken aka teh captain 10.23.06 at 7:25 pm

Now *that* is redonkulous. i wold say the definition of redonkulous.

27 pendlerpiken aka teh captain 10.23.06 at 7:26 pm

that’s “would”, obvy. grrrr.

28 NebraskaErin 10.23.06 at 7:27 pm

Reminds me of my friend’s corgi, Molly. He had to re-home her, and I miss her!!

29 hrh.squeak 10.23.06 at 7:28 pm

Thanks for all the Corgi facts, peeps. I want a Corgi ‘tock bumper sticker now!! How cutetastic would That Be??

30 Laurie C 10.23.06 at 7:30 pm

Okay, “re-home” is now my new word of the week. As I hope someone will come and re-home the boxcar kittens.

31 Francie 10.23.06 at 7:33 pm

Gaaaahhh!! I work in West Deptford! I’ll have to keep an eye out for the dog-bus.

32 ceebs 10.23.06 at 7:42 pm

There are a few corgis in my ‘hood, all of them Pembrokes. (I always forget which is which, I try to remember that the Pembrokes have ‘broke’ tailios. and the rounder earses) I loves em. actually there were 3 but now Rocky moved there are only 2 that I know of.

33 smiles 10.23.06 at 7:53 pm

Hey! They got that costume idea from Zippy! He is the original corgi bus.

34 NebraskaErin 10.23.06 at 8:11 pm

Laurie C – My friend was upset because he would say he had to give her away, like he didn’t want her or something. I suggested “re-home”, which made him feel much better (although he still misses her!)

35 NebraskaErin 10.23.06 at 8:13 pm

Holy jebus I shouldn’t type while busy at work. That didn’t make sense. Basically, he had to find a new home for her, but if he said he had to give her away, he felt that made it seem he didn’t want her anymore. Which of course, he did.

36 Theo 10.23.06 at 8:14 pm

37 Theo 10.23.06 at 8:15 pm

PS — that’s DEFINITELY a PG-13 link there.

38 Annabel 10.23.06 at 8:16 pm

Hey you know those walking buses (good for the environment :o )) well the doggies can come along too dressed up like this one – how cute would that be??!!!
He looks so happy, like he was just waiting to get dressed up !

39 Julia 10.23.06 at 8:17 pm

I remember seeing this before, and I do recollect the costume being homemade. As such, I would like to suggest that the person who thought of this and made it reality is MY HERO.

40 lurkertype 10.23.06 at 8:25 pm

It’s like the catbus from “Totoro”, only it’s a corgi from Joisey.

41 Aubrey 10.23.06 at 8:27 pm

Don’t worry, T. – I don’t wanna cause no fuss…

42 NebraskaErin 10.23.06 at 8:27 pm

Thanks, Theo. I usually say “jebus” in honor Homer Simpson when he escaped PBS and Betty White by becoming a missionary, but it’s nice to have historical data and E! True Hollywood Story.

43 Subhangi 10.23.06 at 8:28 pm

Hee. Cute.

44 Denita TwoDragons 10.23.06 at 8:35 pm

That is about the funniest thing I’ve seen in…oh, say, EVER. Give or take a few years…

Of course I had to go all anime and shout “It’s EIN!” at the screen…*LOL*

45 MamaDawn 10.23.06 at 8:37 pm

D2D… OMG I love Cowboy Bebop!! I do voiceover work for Funamation. I’m on Sonic X, Dragonball GT, and the new Gundam and Tenchi stuff. If you hear a little old lady, it’s me!

46 Adalia 10.23.06 at 8:44 pm

He’s so cute. I wish he was MY bus driver. :)

47 Lauri 10.23.06 at 9:17 pm

Whoa, MamaDawn, that is SO cool! :)

48 Robert 10.23.06 at 9:23 pm

Pembroke Welsh Corgis: prosh
“Smiling” Pembroke Welsh Corgi: Prosh squared.
“Smiling” Pembroke Welsh Corgi FREAKING DRESSED AS A FREAKING SCHOOL BUS: The Prosh Meter Broke. Call the Lectric Co.

49 Denita TwoDragons 10.23.06 at 9:46 pm

MamaDawn…you have just officially skyrocketed to the #1 spot on my Way! Too! Friggin’! Cool! list…! ;-) Awriiiiight!

50 lurkertype 10.24.06 at 2:10 am

51 Subhangi 10.24.06 at 5:50 am

52 Rosie 10.25.06 at 11:47 am
