    Awww. Those pink noses! And they sum up how I feel right now.

    Night, CO!

  2. lauowolf says:

    And this ink spot looks just like two dogs to me.
    Yes, I know that proves I’m obsessed with cute.
    So what.

  3. Gary Fixler says:

    They should be named Felix and Xelif, like proper mirror-image bookends. I need them to come help prop me up.

  4. Lil says:

    I had to look twice. I thought it was trick with mirrors!

  5. Gary Fixler says:

    Awe! I messed it up. I meant Felix and Xilef. Like that’s any better.

  6. FionnaCathyLizzie says:

    if we’re learning latin, the petname Fido is derived from the latin word for I Trust.

  7. Jen Barnett says:

    Siamese puppehs!

  8. Michelle says:

    Awwww. So beautiful!

  9. StormCat says:

    I can’t believe no one’s mentioned hearing the ever so slight honkshew… (I know, the spelling’s wrong, but it’s early…) I can hear them snoring, can’t you?
    *as she listens to at least two of her own Kitties snoring*

  10. Positive Jube says:

    Is this the opposite to spooning?

    Dogs stealing the bed again..sheesh..

  11. Miss_Thing says:

    Wonder Twin Powers, activate! Shape of….

  12. Meaghan says:

    Are you sure these aren’t conjoined twin puppies?

  13. sara says:

    is it just me or do the look like siamese twins??? too cute :D

  14. Redzilla says:

    Yup, conjoined. The only question for the medical contemplating the separation surgery–do the patients share a cute?

  15. pyrit says:

    Aahh, thanks, Meg for the double chocolate House Blend cappuccino. Well that what *I* see in this ink blot.

  16. Michelle says:

    I’m all weak for those huge pink eraser noses. Are they pointers? Anyone know? They’re beautiful!

  17. Donna says:

    Cute, squared!

    Hope the operation goes well.

  18. DogFan says:

    They are English Springer Spaniels. I have one and she looks just like that.

  19. pyrit says:

    Hmm, but aren’t Springers a little fluffier? I love them but these look like Pointers.

  20. Miette says:

    i would so snuggle between these two . .. maybe then I’d get warm!

  21. That’s how Hubby and I sleep–back-to-back, all warm and toasty together. Only we don’t look nearly this cute… ^__^

  22. Faye says:

    Ya know ya can’t kiss just one.

  23. Alexis says:

    Beautiful.

  24. sel says:

    those aren’t pointers, they’re Britneys – the best pupperses in the world.

  25. MamaDawn says:

    Two thirds of Fluffy!

  26. Theo says:

    Sel — if you’re talking about the spaniels, wouldn’t that be
    “Brittany”? The breed’s been around longer than *she* has.

    Also, this photo reminds me of our current “desktop” on our TiVo-type PC…

    Now imagine that full-size: 126″ on the diagonal. Yep. We call it the Movie Wall.
    [proud geek moment]

  27. Michelle says:

    Really? They don’t look like Brittany Spaniels or Springer Spaniels to me. Maybe I haven’t seen enough of them. I thought both brits and springers had feathered coats? These look like very smooth coats to me.

  28. Dara says:

    It’s a push-me/pull-you!
    (Doctor Doolittle fans?!)

  29. pyrit says:

    I have a *thing* about dog breeds. So, I can’t resist one more comment, (“Oops, I did it again!”) that the dogs in this photo look more like pointers. Brittany’s are orange-er, smaller boned, a bit fluffier.

    Theo – I wanted to make a Spears comment but, “Baby, that’s your prerogative.”

    And, WOW, WOW. Yay for your proud geek moment.

  30. pyrit says:

    Michelle – Yup, no feathers on the backs of the legs on these 2 puppers.
    Are you the same Michelle who wrote that awesome poem a few days ago?

  31. PuppyMomma says:

    I love puppeh lips. Check out the one one the …er, right.

  32. PuppyLuv72 says:

    These puppeh’s here have smooth coat’s. English Pointers…not Brittney or Springer.

    Man, i’d give up my bed to the pup’s anyday…(that’s how i end up on the couch…)

  33. lauowolf says:

    I like their little velvet sleepy eyes.
    These guys are out for the count.

    Probably no need for the couch.
    I think they’ll let you squeeze in on the side, and keep their toes warm.

    And who doesn’t like a kick in the stomach at 3 am?

  34. jaque says:

    Awwww!

    I want to hug and kiss them. They are precious.

  35. PuppyLuv72 says:

    Lauowolf, too true…plus, when i give up on the bed and go to couch, they just follow me there…. ;D

    Man, i love those pink noses!!!! I must go squeeze a pup (or two)!

  36. Rachel says:

    Yup, not Springers. We have one (best breed ever, BTW), and although his head looks really simliar to these two pups’, he’s definitely feathery-er. And even if they decided to cut their hair the “wrong” way (i.e. really really short), I don’t think they’d be able to escape the curly-haired ears, which these pups don’t have.

    Aw, it still makes me miss mine though :( (I’m away at school!)

  37. Elizabeth says:

    Rorshach dogs!

  38. warrior rabbit says:

    Awww…cutie patooties.

    The one on the left has freckled legs — I lof dem!

    On another animal note, a friend sent me this ‘shopped “Who Brought the Cat?” photo the other day that made me laugh:

  39. EvilBuns says:

    Warrior Rabbit…

    THAT’S FUNNY!!!!!

  40. Martha in Washington says:

    Doesn’t this look like the PERFECT way to spend a Saturday morning-snorgling with two beeyutifull puppehs!

    WarriorR-That cat looks like he’s having WAAAY more fun than the little girl in the yellow life jacket!

  41. HonorH says:

    It’s the beast with two fronts!

  42. A thinker says:

    It’s the TWO-HEADED DAWG OF DOOM.

    (For some reason, I just like saying that).

  43. Miss Bear says:

    Wow I just heard that song today too. Weird

  44. lauowolf says:

    You’d think Scully’s singing would wake them up…

  45. jaypo says:

    Thinkie, a doubly serious Sirius?

    theo, you clever, rightly proud, geeky chap! Loverly!

  52. lurkertype says:

    Yes, these puppehs are conjoined at the Qte.

    The NOSES, people!

    kw – Kewt photo.
    Caption:
    Aw nuts, son of a packrat, only 25 days until winter and 2,000 pinecones to go. Zoom!

  54. Renee says:

    Awww!! Anyone else see the big brown heart???? They wuv each other and wuv them!!

  55. Brak_Silverbone says:

    I bet it’s nice and waaaaarm in between these two pups. *snuggles in*

  56. Lauri says:

    Whoa, neat picture! Such lovable snuggle bugs!

    Theo, ONE of those kittens really did almost kill me…..two….well….Still just almost! Awesome pic.

    Haha, WR, I got that picture awhile ago and it is a good one!

    K9-w, now those are muzzlepuffs!

    I really did think “conjoined dogs” first thing when this pic opened, too.

  57. lurkertype says:

    Ahem. Felix means “lucky” in Latin.

    But these puppers are happy and lucky.

  58. John F says:

    Aham ahem. Fido doesn’t mean “I trust”. The literal translation is “I am faithful”.

    Now, I will doff my pedant’s cap and say DANG! Those are cute pups! They should be flanking me when I go to sleep tonight, like a pair of living, snorgling hot water bottles.

  59. Theo says:

    Lauri — mon Schmoop likes the kitten on the right, while my fave’s the left one.

  60. Lauri says:

    Well, that is a strange co-ink-eedink, Theo…cuz I went back, held up my hand to “divide” them, and decided my favorite is on the right, too.

    Is it gender related?

  61. Jen says:

    I believe they are German Shorthair Pointers.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Short-haired_Pointer

  62. soxfan says:

    I think they’d be way more spotty if they were German Shorthair Pointers. My vote is for Pointers, also known as English Pointers. These two belong to the rare subset, Conjoined Pointers. Heh.

  63. musicchick2 says:

    Yup… “conjoined” pup-ettes was my first reaction as well. Almost completely identical.. the one on the left has more “freckles” on his legs than the one on the right. Soooo Cuuuuutee! *grin*

  64. HRH says:

    you’re right, musicchick2 …

    a dainty female on the right & on the left is a male with a big head – typical …

    * a quiet feminist snigger heard while posting*

  65. Bethypoo says:

    OMG! That is soo cute! I’m sure you are soo happy to have two hott pups at home!

    bethypoo

  66. anon says:

    SO CUTE!!!!

    I’m almost positive these are Brittany’s. I have one myself – he’s orange, but a good friend of ours has his sister who’s liver-colored. Same face and nose shape, exactly. Also, they’re a bit small to be pointers.

    Liver brittany’s have VERY silky coats whereas orange tend to have a more coarse coat. And they may not have feathers because someone could have cut them short, and in that case, they’d looks just like they do. So yeah, I’m like 99.9999% sure these are Brittany’s :) BEST BREED EVER, in my opinion.

  67. NebraskaErin says:

    Wait, there are TWO pups? I thought it was one pup sleeping against a mirror.

  68. HR says:

    They are for sure German Short Haired Pointers. We have one and she looks just like them. They usually get more spotting as they get older.

    So cute!!

  69. bobbi says:

    the dogs are cute.

  70. Haley says:

    wow thats so cool

  71. danyes says:

    there’s no way these are German Short Haired Pointers… The facial structure is entirely different, along with the coat. The pink nose is a dead giveaway of a Brittany Spaniel.

    Adult Brittany Spaniel – http://www.victoriabenda.com/images/tuckerTX_061704_1.jpg
    Not an exact match because that one has more feathers, but very similar looking.

    Also, here’s my guy — he’s orange but his face is just like the liver guy on the left in the pic up top:
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/dharvey/toby.jpg?t=1164121278

    OK, done now :) Love this pic, btw!

  72. danyes says:

    Also, I believe I see an eyebrow wisker or two on the both of them, which ever brittany I’ve ever met has always had. They’re so funny!

  73. Subhangi says:

    Backward-spooning puppehs! Awww. Me wants a hug.

    :(

    “I feel loooonely
    Lo-lo-lo-lo-lonely
    You’re the one & only
    That makes me feel so bluuue…”
