Always works for me.

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 10.05.06 at 6:00 pm

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

3 pugmamatimestwo 10.05.06 at 6:04 pm

Trouble with a capital “Qte”!

4 NebraskaErin 10.05.06 at 6:04 pm

AHHHHH! Cutest pic of the week, hands down. Er…’tocks down. Um. Up.

5 Cat 10.05.06 at 6:05 pm

OOoo, stretch puppy stretch!

6 faerie 10.05.06 at 6:09 pm

We’re not in Kansas anymore Toto! This must be Cuteville, or some other magical place!

7 EMH 10.05.06 at 6:10 pm

Ahh…so cute.
My favorite this week so far!

8 EMH 10.05.06 at 6:11 pm

Puparobics?

11 Loris 10.05.06 at 6:13 pm

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

12 Theo 10.05.06 at 6:15 pm

[snurrgk] BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

13 Dave 10.05.06 at 6:17 pm

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 10.05.06 at 6:17 pm

Puplaties Classes Anyone?

15 Theo 10.05.06 at 6:21 pm

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

16 rpennefe 10.05.06 at 6:26 pm

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

17 Subhangi 10.05.06 at 6:33 pm

[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 10.05.06 at 6:33 pm

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

19 chacha 10.05.06 at 6:39 pm

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

20 ceejoe 10.05.06 at 6:40 pm

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

21 skippy 10.05.06 at 6:40 pm

rpennefe- Tocktor! you mean like a Tocktologist?

what a delightful pup!

22 Renee 10.05.06 at 6:40 pm

“tockin’”? HAHAHA

23 Rachel 10.05.06 at 6:47 pm

lol… tocks… too cute ;)

24 Dahlia 10.05.06 at 6:51 pm

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

25 Aubrey 10.05.06 at 6:52 pm

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

26 faerie 10.05.06 at 6:56 pm

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

27 StormCat 10.05.06 at 7:02 pm

*holding ears*

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

28 Michelle 10.05.06 at 7:08 pm

It is a Norfolk Terrier.

29 Laurie C 10.05.06 at 7:15 pm

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

30 Redzilla 10.05.06 at 7:18 pm

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

31 Redzilla 10.05.06 at 7:19 pm

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

32 jaypo 10.05.06 at 7:24 pm

eeep! [splody]

33 Tina 10.05.06 at 7:33 pm

OH SNAP THIS IS CUTE!

34 Amie 10.05.06 at 7:34 pm

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

35 Amie 10.05.06 at 7:36 pm

StormCat, puns= puppy buns. :]

36 Thorne 10.05.06 at 7:37 pm

… 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 10.05.06 at 7:47 pm

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 10.05.06 at 7:49 pm

And *snort*, Subhangi…

39 AuntieMame 10.05.06 at 7:50 pm

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

Rather.

40 jessica 10.05.06 at 8:07 pm

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

41 firefinch 10.05.06 at 8:08 pm

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

42 Redzilla 10.05.06 at 8:18 pm

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 10.05.06 at 8:21 pm

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 10.05.06 at 8:23 pm

Can’t…take…the…CUTENESS!!!

45 jaypo 10.05.06 at 8:26 pm

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

46 Danielle 10.05.06 at 8:33 pm

Crouching Puppy. Hidden Desire.

47 soxfan 10.05.06 at 8:37 pm

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 10.05.06 at 8:43 pm

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 10.05.06 at 8:47 pm

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 10.05.06 at 8:48 pm

Holy Fuzzy Buttkins!

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

51 Mook 10.05.06 at 9:14 pm

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 10.05.06 at 9:30 pm

Tock tocks Bo-tocks
Banana fana faux socks

*EARWORM ALERT* *EARWORM ALERT*

53 BlurpleBerry 10.05.06 at 9:34 pm

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

54 gwenchocolate 10.05.06 at 9:39 pm

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

55 Lauri 10.05.06 at 9:41 pm

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 10.05.06 at 9:49 pm

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 10.05.06 at 10:00 pm

Awesome, argentee! LOL!

58 Theo 10.05.06 at 10:01 pm

‘Tocks Screen: a wicker chair.
Possibly rattan.

59 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 10.05.06 at 10:12 pm

LOL! Whatchew tockin’ ’bout Willis?!

60 ElfOwl 10.05.06 at 10:13 pm

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!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 10.05.06 at 10:17 pm

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

62 TastesLikeChicken 10.05.06 at 10:17 pm

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

63 Aubrey 10.05.06 at 10:29 pm

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 10.05.06 at 11:41 pm

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 10.05.06 at 11:45 pm

This has GOT to be a toy!

66 jaypo 10.05.06 at 11:49 pm

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

67 Lauri 10.05.06 at 11:54 pm

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

68 hrh.squeak 10.06.06 at 1:46 am

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

69 PuppyMomma 10.06.06 at 2:30 am

Love pup-tocks!

70 jo 10.06.06 at 2:39 am

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

71 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 10.06.06 at 2:42 am

Thank ya, Lauri!

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

72 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 10.06.06 at 2:48 am

hrh squeak

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

73 Michelle 10.06.06 at 3:11 am

Already been identified as a Norfolk Terrier.

74 Theo 10.06.06 at 3:14 am

but what KIIIIIIIIIIINND of Norwich Terror???

75 Aubrey 10.06.06 at 3:32 am

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

76 Danielle 10.06.06 at 3:50 am

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

Got lots of witch hazel, though.

here you go…

77 Kate 10.06.06 at 5:29 am

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

78 Aubrey 10.06.06 at 6:28 am

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

http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/02/who_owns_this_b.html

http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/07/duck_tocks.html

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 10.06.06 at 6:33 am

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

80 Thorne 10.06.06 at 8:44 am

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 10.06.06 at 9:49 am

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 10.06.06 at 10:03 am

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

(they were flying all over the room!)

83 Lauri 10.06.06 at 10:03 am

Folks! *wink*

84 Jan Spencer 10.06.06 at 1:18 pm

EVERYBODY SING!

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

CUUUUUTE!

85 tomi 10.06.06 at 4:33 pm

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 10.06.06 at 4:39 pm

[moons Cap'n Obvious]

87 tomi 10.06.06 at 4:47 pm

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 10.06.06 at 5:02 pm

Oh my goodness, what a little cutie patootie!

I wanna bite the ‘tocks!

89 michellemybelle 10.06.06 at 5:09 pm

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

90 tomi 10.06.06 at 5:23 pm

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 10.06.06 at 5:34 pm

[wink] for Tomi.

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

92 tomi 10.06.06 at 5:49 pm

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 10.06.06 at 7:25 pm

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

94 william congreve 11.30.06 at 9:02 am

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