I know we usually coo about animals, but I have to say I love the soft, fuzzy baby head. I bet it smells great :)

2 TAJ 11.15.06 at 5:05 pm

“The new baby sitter has some very interesting techniques”

3 ShelleyTambo 11.15.06 at 5:07 pm

Well. That made me laugh out loud–especially the doggy tail sticking straight up.

4 Jess 11.15.06 at 5:07 pm

OMG babies and puppies!

and its a chocolate lab pup, the cutest of the cute!

5 TheLoveofIsis 11.15.06 at 5:07 pm

That baby has just about as much hair on the head as the dog does, lol! Dastardly cute! Toe nibbler!

6 adam 11.15.06 at 5:09 pm
7 Theo 11.15.06 at 5:09 pm

I suspect SLURPAGE here. Heh.

8 RidBaxter 11.15.06 at 5:18 pm

How cute is it that both pups are laying about in the exact same pose?

9 Aubrey 11.15.06 at 5:21 pm

A baby? With a dog?

(takes a seat, with a box of raisinettes, holds onto ticket stub – there might be an intermission – and waits)

10 ShelleyTambo 11.15.06 at 5:24 pm

Aubrey–got any Milk Duds?

11 MaggieBelle 11.15.06 at 5:26 pm

One can hope there won’t be much trollage since the dog is biting the baby and not the other way around. Seems like people get their panties in a bunch when a baby is doing something supposedly heinous to the animal, however, baby mauling is not only preferred, but encouraged.

This is totally cute, though. Love dogs and babies.

12 Chris Tucker 11.15.06 at 5:27 pm

Aubrey, I got the BIG box of Junior Mints!

If you run out of Raisinettes, you can share my mints.

13 MaggieBelle 11.15.06 at 5:30 pm

Who’s gonna turn down a Junior Mint? It’s chocolate, it’s peppermint, it’s delicious!

14 Jen 11.15.06 at 5:31 pm

MaggieBelle, do you not recall the OMG-BABY-MAULED-BY-BIG-DOG-NOT-CUTE controversy?

15 Allie and Jojo-s Mom 11.15.06 at 5:31 pm

Hey – someone pass the popcorn and the Super Jumbo Mega Extra-Large Soda (c)

16 Becky 11.15.06 at 5:32 pm

That just makes me laugh! Both the baby and the puppy are cute. Labs are the best dogs in the world!

17 Nikki 11.15.06 at 5:33 pm

Awww! How cute! I bet when the baby scoots the pup scoots to keep up with him.

18 j 11.15.06 at 5:35 pm

i’m with the baby, thats some nice tile. *inspects*

19 MaggieBelle 11.15.06 at 5:38 pm

You’re right, Jen. I did forget about that.

I’m just remembering the “Baby bites the kitten’s tail” commentroversy and all the baby-haters that crawled out of the woodwork.

I stand corrected :)

20 J. Bo 11.15.06 at 5:38 pm

Even the pup knows that baby toes are delicious and nutritious.

21 NebraskaErin 11.15.06 at 5:38 pm

My mom’s pup does this when she wants you to play with her.

Baby looks unconcerned. Probably giggling over the tickly sensation when the pup licks his toes.

22 HonorH 11.15.06 at 5:41 pm

Choco-lab puppy! Fuzzy-headed baby! Toe chompage! Cutest picture yet!

23 Mel 11.15.06 at 5:44 pm

It takes a lot to make this cynical girl LOL, but this pic does it. MaggieBelle – Is that a Kramerism about the Junior Mint? I totally agree.

24 martha in mobile 11.15.06 at 5:47 pm

Being an overprotective mother, I am worried about that beautiful baby head meeting that beautiful hard tile. Kronsche, indeed.

And does anyone else think (eyes narrowing) that Meg may just be baiting certain readers with these racks N kronsches?

25 Renee 11.15.06 at 5:48 pm

Adorable!!!!!!!!!

26 Kar 11.15.06 at 5:48 pm

Call DFACS on me but it’s nice to see an animal bite back for a change on this page.

27 EliottM 11.15.06 at 5:49 pm

“Omigod caught her just in time–she was heading for the street!”

Good dog.

28 blueberries4me 11.15.06 at 5:50 pm

I love dogs that do Froggy legs! And look at that tail!

29 Aubrey 11.15.06 at 5:51 pm

Guys…

Thanks for the offers and stuff, but as the comments seem level, happy and fuzzy, it seems that I can’t sit back with all the treats.

So I finished them all. (burp)

30 yoohoostereo 11.15.06 at 5:52 pm

EliottM…

I was thinking the same thing. The puppy was pulling baby back from doing something naughty.

31 Noelegy 11.15.06 at 5:55 pm

Wow…gorgeous tile floor. :)

32 Theo 11.15.06 at 5:56 pm

Aubrey — it’s early yet. Patience.
[trots off to dig out the air-popper & the jar of Snorgle Redenboinger]

33 musicchick2 11.15.06 at 5:57 pm

Aubrey – I’m so disappointed in you :-l

34 jaypo 11.15.06 at 5:59 pm

Why is that baby kicking the puppy in the mouth? ;-)

35 Redzilla 11.15.06 at 6:00 pm

OMG,is Meg trying to make the Nuffers’ brains asplode from craziness? Shite.

[backing away slowly, not wanting to end up as an innocent bystander quality]

(For non-freaking-out-nuffers: do you remember how awesome fun and tickly it was when a dog leecked/nibbled your toes?)

36 pyrit 11.15.06 at 6:01 pm

I am cracking up because I KNOW that baby is giggling all bubblyjubbly and laughing so hard the drool is down it’s chin and THAT is the baby’s fascination with the tile because it’s trying to play with the little drool pool while goofy Lab buddy puts mojo on the toe-toes. Ticklin’ and gigglin’ and droolin’.

37 Redzilla 11.15.06 at 6:02 pm

Oh, and what you can’t see, ’cause it’s outside the frame. There was a kitteh, whose tail the baby was kroshing, only it escaped before the pic was snapped.

38 Kar 11.15.06 at 6:02 pm

Audrey, be patient. I suspect everyone’s still in a tizzy posting over the latest victem up on the “rack”.

39 Laurie C 11.15.06 at 6:04 pm

martha in mobile, I also saw these two posts today and thought: “Mischievous Meg!”

(Which was also the title of a children’s book I enjoyed and read over and over when I was a kid.)

40 Aubrey 11.15.06 at 6:07 pm

Sorry, MC2 – but there were M&M’s involved, and those cannot I resist.

Offers of comestibles can be catapulted in the direction of Los Angeles.

By the way, this photo simply drips innocence and happiness. Any critique would be…infantile. Kronche on!

41 Theo 11.15.06 at 6:09 pm

Yeah. It’s probably a JELLY baby.
(har)

42 ceejoe 11.15.06 at 6:10 pm

pyrit – “giggling all bubblyjubbly” … love your descriptions!
love the pic!

43 AmyH 11.15.06 at 6:10 pm

To me it seems like some bizarre ‘fish out of water’ tableau. It’s as if they are swimming – but not.

Or maybe my morning’s half n’ half was a little too far past the expiration date. Dooooood…

44 Diana 11.15.06 at 6:11 pm

tis’ cute…

45 minnesnowtah 11.15.06 at 6:12 pm

Beeeeg shluuur-pee kee-ronsche.
I love that upright tail!

Patience, Aubrey, those nuffs have busy schedules. So many websites to nuff on, so little time!

*ahem* (clears throat) Let the games — er, the commentroversy — begin! ;)

46 J. Bo 11.15.06 at 6:14 pm

Miracle Mile, look out!

47 Jackie 11.15.06 at 6:18 pm

1. Dogs <3 food and poop.

2. At any given moment babies either have food or poop on them.

3. The baby needs to have the food or poop cleaned off, and the dog needs to…well, you can see where this is heading. Let’s just say it makes for the perfect symbiotic relationship, and leave it at that.

48 pyrit 11.15.06 at 6:23 pm

“Invisible pool!”

49 Pocky 11.15.06 at 6:23 pm

Y’know, I know a lot of humans who like to nibble on baby toes. It’s nice to see that humans aren’t the only ones.

50 Deckard Canine 11.15.06 at 6:25 pm

It’s a chocolate lab, yet it seems to be the one doing the munching.

51 Teughcats 11.15.06 at 6:25 pm

I ran away from the cats’n'racks commentroversy (too much stress in my life today to deal with it on my favorite escape site) and started reading these comments with one eye closed (like when you watch a movie that’s about to get really scary and you are afraid to watch but can’t completely stop?). I’m so happy that it’s all good so far! And I completely agree that Meg is subtly taunting today as well – naughty, naughty! But funny.
Anyone have any kettle corn to share?

52 Maybalee 11.15.06 at 6:26 pm

I have jordan almonds if you all run out of treats while waiting….

53 Aubrey 11.15.06 at 6:28 pm

Could a chocolate lab be annexed to the CO Dream Office?

54 Sarah Brodwall 11.15.06 at 6:30 pm

Hey, man, this is not cool! I don’t come here to see pictures of babies! (:Þ)

55 J. Bo 11.15.06 at 6:30 pm

It’s true, Pocky– as I said, “delicious AND nutritious!”

56 minnesnowtah 11.15.06 at 6:33 pm

A chocolate lab-oratory in the CO Dream Office, I would love that.
Could I have some chocolate puddin’, guys?

57 Theo 11.15.06 at 6:34 pm

PUDDINS!!

58 anon 11.15.06 at 6:37 pm

it looks like simon says — the pups in the same position as the baby!

59 AlinaBeans 11.15.06 at 6:39 pm

Dangit! My work internet filter has blocked the comments for the Racks entry… eh, probably for the best. :)

I love the dog’s pose in this one. My dog can’t do frog legs so I always love it when other dogs can.

60 Bookworm 11.15.06 at 6:41 pm

OK, “Snorgle Redenboinger” is TOTALLY going to be my new screen name next time I join a message board.

I, too, am a mother (of a 7 month old) so my first thought too was “OMG, poor babee’s gonna bonk his head on the tile!” Aaaaaand then I saw the delectable kronche-ness going on. Bleepin’ anerable, that.

61 AuntieMame 11.15.06 at 6:42 pm

I’m staying out of the current rack controversy. I’m having a crappy day and I don’t want to hear it. (Especially since I’m kinda leaning towards Nuffery on this one…)

Howsomever…the babeh and puppeh are lovely. I agree with whoever said there ought to be a kitteh in the babe’s mouth, and I can’t help but wonder what’s nibbling on the pup’s paw just out of camera range on the top right. A moose, or something, no doubt…

62 Mel 11.15.06 at 6:45 pm

I love the look of studied concentration on the dog’s face. He’s trying to get just the right amount of kronshe on that foot.

63 Theo 11.15.06 at 6:45 pm

MØØSES!!!

64 Theo 11.15.06 at 6:46 pm

Gah, not fast enough…

65 Aubrey 11.15.06 at 6:48 pm

66 katherine 11.15.06 at 6:48 pm

That was brilliant, Decker Canine.

67 astrid jane 11.15.06 at 6:52 pm

This reminds me of a yellow lab I once knew, Floyd. Floyd was a master of the soft kronsche AND a total “ass-man,” as it turned out. Whenever anyone with a particularly juicy set of ‘tocks (such as myself…not to brag) wandered onto Floyd’s radar, he’d spring into action…slowly and quietly pad up behind them..streeeech out his neck…and firmly, but ever so tenderly, cup & kronsche the target butt-cheek. He’d usually give it at least two really good squeezes before he’d let go.

Lemme tell you, when you’re standing there minding your own business and suddenly your jelly gets hoovered into a big, wet mouth and squeezed between a full set of Laborador teeth you freeze all movement pretty quick.

Still, I can appreciate a dog who can appreciate a girl with a little junk in the trunk.

68 Tracey 11.15.06 at 6:54 pm

Awwwww… nibblin’ zee toesies..

69 ShelleyTambo 11.15.06 at 7:04 pm

astrid jane–second time this pic/thread has made me laugh out loud.

On my way to lunch today I was lucky enough to see a woman standing in the open door of her station wagon cheerleading her dog to get in (Come on! Go on in!!). Looked like a spaniel/basset mix who was not convinced that getting in the car was a good idea as owner thought.

70 Redzilla 11.15.06 at 7:06 pm

Now I’ve never had a dog give me the “soft kronsche” on the behind, but uh, aherm, eh…look, a chocolate lab.

Hey, if we had a chocolate lab at the dream office, could we all wear chocolate lab coats during our ex-speariments?

71 de 11.15.06 at 7:09 pm

In order: I want that gorgeous tile; I want the beautiful lab; I want the baby . . .

72 Theo 11.15.06 at 7:12 pm

I think HRH Squeak needs to archive Astrid Jane’s comment for posterior… erm… posterity, even if it isn’t technically verse or lyrics.

73 TFMS 11.15.06 at 7:12 pm

Astrid Jane, there isn’t any part of my “jelly getting hoovered into a big wet mouth..” etc. that I wouldn’t enjoy.

Oh wait you are talking about a dog doing that… ah well, I might enjoy that too.

As for the Chocolab, you know that tongue is getting up in there betwixt the toesies!

74 Faekitty 11.15.06 at 7:14 pm

I want a puppeh so baaaadd.. but I want a corgi.. even though McLabersons are.. in my book the second best dogs in the world.. next to the evar intelligent McCorgisons.. ohh.. too much time spent on CO..

Well, I’d go to the rackage to see some fur fly, only, well, I’m at work. So…

Back to work.

76 Janice in GA 11.15.06 at 7:17 pm

They’re both lying the in the classic “flying frog” position. :D

77 ChapeauNoir 11.15.06 at 7:28 pm

Greetings, COers, I am a huge CO fan and sometime lurker but have never posted before. Just HAD to this time! That baby looks IZZACKLY like my daughter did as a baby and my mom had a beagle who did that legs-stretched-out-the-back thing — so cute! I guess I have to get that tile now.

78 Rafael 11.15.06 at 7:41 pm

Choco-Lab: They don’t pay me enough for baby sitting this brat! Come back here you…(soft-kronshe!)

79 EricaE 11.15.06 at 7:43 pm

This has to be a new CO record for a pic of this type. There are over 70 comments and I have yet to find a nuffy one….

80 de 11.15.06 at 7:59 pm

EricaE: (finger to lips)SSHHHhhhhhhh…..

81 wolfwhocriedboy 11.15.06 at 8:30 pm

astrid jane – I just about lost control of my bodily functions reading your story. The lab-bum-hoover really needs to be archived on CO somewhere. ;)

Now I know why the latest “racks” picture has so many posts. I think I’ll avoid. Thanks for the heads-up everyone.

82 Kat 11.15.06 at 8:32 pm

“the baby is kicking the puppy in the mouth” *giggles*

83 catnip 11.15.06 at 8:42 pm

You’re all missing that this is a photo-shopped piece! They’re really swimmin’ and the lab is saving the baby. Someone just ’shopped the water out of the photo.

84 EliottM 11.15.06 at 8:43 pm

Behold, the Law of Unintended Readings:

“Hey, if we had a chocolate lab at the dream office, could we all wear chocolate lab coats during our ex-speariments?”

Dunno–how many chocolate lab pelts does it take to make a coat?

85 jaque 11.15.06 at 8:43 pm

It’s a canine-kiddie conga line.

86 Emc^2 11.15.06 at 8:45 pm

When I was very small (ie, ca. 6 months old — we won’t even contemplate how long ago that was…), my parents got a Boxer puppy of roughly the same age. (Clue to the uncontemplated: his registered name was [Kennel]’s Brown Bomber of Simi… His namesake had retired not that long ago.)

At the time, we were living in a rural area, in a tiny rented house across the road from my folks’ walnut grove, in which they were having a new home built. There were big trucks and so forth going up and down that road all the time.

One day, after Mom had done laundry and was hanging it up outdoors, with me (she thought) happily playing at her feet, she was startled to hear my voice, raised in vociferous protest, coming from the driveway in front of the house. Apparently, I had wandered away when she wasn’t looking, and headed for the wide open spaces beyond our yard. Bomber, good dog that he was, had followed me, and, just a couple of feet from the buzy road, had grabbed my diaper in his muzzlepouch and firmly sat down. Since he was behind me, I couldn’t even reach him to slap him, and he was impervious to verbal assault.

Mom scooped me up safely and made sure I was confined in a play-pen or the house thereafter. And Bomber never wanted for anything as long as we had him.

(He ended up standing at stud for his breeder, so I expect he had a good life even after we moved into the city and had insufficient room for him. Our current dog is a boxer mix who shows very little of the other side of his family, chosen at least partially because of Bomber…)

87 Redzilla 11.15.06 at 9:06 pm

No, ElliotM, bad comment!
I meant, of course, a lab coat made out of chocolate. An edible clothing item, if I may be so bold.

88 EliottM 11.15.06 at 9:10 pm

You may, and I was jk.

89 hrh.squeak 11.15.06 at 9:15 pm

Well, I’d be up to archive it under a new category – say, Tales from the Cute Side? I know a few wonderful stories have been told, like Zosterop’s (sp?) rattie thanking her for the biskit rescue, or the opossum in the toilet, or or or . . . . What thinkest thou, o Peeps?

90 Mary 11.15.06 at 9:39 pm

I think Tales from the Cute Side is a great idea. I’ve seen many a story here that made me laugh but who can keep track of them? We have Tails from the Cute Side (aka “tocks”) now we need Tales. Who’s with us?

p.s. Love the Baby and the Kronsher. No question the Kronsher is saving the Baby from some dire fate just out of the picture. “Stop! Go no further!” etc.

91 J. Bo 11.15.06 at 9:48 pm

YES, Tales from the Cute Side!

(At last, my Feeding a Hateful Squirrel an Altoid story would have a proper home…)

92 kar 11.15.06 at 10:16 pm

On the plus side, at least the dog’s between the baby and the patio/porch railing. I have visions of Michael Jackson as those railings don’t look like they’d block a wiggling baby.

Course that could be a groundfloor apt given apparent grass on the tiles.

93 Kar 11.15.06 at 10:17 pm

BTW, if you think feeding a squirrel an Altoid is fun, try feeding a pigeon wasabi.

94 WickedWendy 11.15.06 at 11:05 pm

Those must be some tasty toes!!! Yum!!!

Meg keeps torturing me with photos of giant puppies. I’m so jealous I could cry!

98 Judy B 11.15.06 at 11:19 pm

Emc^2 my Nan has a similar story!
When she was about 2 yrs old (this was the early 1930s in Wales) her family owned a small shop and she’d sit outside taking to the policeman directing traffic.
Their dog (I think it was a great dane) would sit with her and if she started going to close to the road it would take the back of her dress in it’s teeth and gently guide her back to safety.

And a big AWW! to the baby and it’s toe nibbling furry friend!

99 Nora 11.15.06 at 11:26 pm

Redzilla…. YES Choc-lab coats and waffle cones for beekers!! Fruit stripes for microscope slides….and pie crust for petri dishes.

100 Alexis 11.15.06 at 11:50 pm

Aww, man, I check out this post to check out the inevitable commentroversy and all I get are comments about how cute the lab is! I even brought some pudding (and brandy)… Now I can’t use it.

And I didn’t even get any Junior Mints!

: (

101 Alexis 11.15.06 at 11:54 pm

w00t! 100th post! (For some reason that excites me. Obviously I’m a little bored and procrastinatory. Don’t hurt me, Theo.)

I think I just made up a word. But shouldn’t “procrastinatory” exist?

Lovely pup, by the way.

102 Aubrey 11.16.06 at 12:02 am

I’ll have to call the vocabulary constabulary, Alexis.

(digs into pockets)

Here. Have a mint.

103 Melissa (tired of boobies) 11.16.06 at 12:03 am

So what did I miss while I was busy spectating the war going on a few posts down? anyone against doggies biting babies? coooooooome on, there’s gotta be someone out there!

(it’s all fun and games until someone loses a toe…)

104 browngrl 11.16.06 at 12:10 am

don’t want the tile floor, don’t want the baby… but I NEED that puppy!

105 Theo 11.16.06 at 12:11 am

“Vocabulary constabulary”… I like that. Makes my life sound a little less drabulary.
;-)

106 Hannah 11.16.06 at 12:14 am

There’s entirely too little commentroversy going on here.

Ahem. Gah! What on EARTH DO THEY THINK THEY’RE DOING??? Who knows WHERE that baby’s foot has been! And they let their poor puppy lick it??? Give that puppy a tetanus shot, stat!

But seriously, this is a sweet pic. The puppy reminds me of my family’s chocolate lab. He was a very gentle doggy.

107 Arvay 11.16.06 at 12:19 am

Hannah, can I add some drama by SHOUTING VERY LOUDLY that I WANT A DAWG and it’s SO NOT FAIR that so many people have dawgs and I DON’T?!?

Hrrmph! *stamps foot and flops ears about*

108 Miss Bear 11.16.06 at 1:48 am

Agh! The reprehensible abuse! It’s overwhelmingly CUTE! What’s wrong with me? :) Both the baby’s fat dumpling limbs and the puppy’s flopped pose is just too much.

109 Sarah 11.16.06 at 2:39 am

OMG BABIES!!1

110 Christy 11.16.06 at 5:00 am

I personally would have been terrified if a dog had done that to me when I was a kid. However, I was unusually scared of dogs because in order to go to the playground, I had to walk by a house where the only thing separating me and a scary Doberman was a chain-link fence, and I thought the Doberman wanted to eat me. The baby doesn’t look upset, though, so it’s cute.

111 Chris Tucker 11.16.06 at 6:14 am

Alexis, you didn’t get a mint?

Shocking! Here, please have the rest of my box, there’s gotta be at least a dozen left.

112 Elisa 11.16.06 at 6:50 am

lol my cavvy does that to my dads feet in summer, she licks and licks and licks at it and the grazes at it with her teeth, he tries to take it away because it tickles but she’ll put her paws around it and continue the salty good experience, wierd things…..

113 J. Bo 11.16.06 at 7:13 am

Christy, I was in the same situation when I was a tiny kid, only it was a barky Afghan Hound on the way to the bus stop. I loved all other dogs, it was just that one in particular that terrified me.

I still don’t like Afghan Hounds much.

114 Amber 11.16.06 at 7:58 am

Oh my god i used to be terrified of dogs when i was like 10 so i don’t know is that sad or just weird ?? but anyways, whats the baby thinking about this i was wondering because theres just a massive labrador nibbling her foot , lols.

Cute pic anyways =] x

115 Monique 11.16.06 at 9:52 am

My faith in Co has been restored!!! THIS is what cute looks like! I know I annoyed some of you ferret-lovers ealier but COME ON people! Rodents are an acquired taste whereas who does not love a baby being chomped by a puppy? I wish I were there so I could have a contest for who has the softest head-fuzz, the baby or the puppy. I think the baby would win, but I still want to pet them both! :-)

Wow. Maybe that anti-Nuff spray is working.

119 katherine 11.16.06 at 2:09 pm

nah, it’s just that all the nuffers got distracted by the boobage and haven’t made it here yet. It’s ok. this is a safe, happy, cute place!

Dazie – I like Fritos sLays myself, too.

There’s one lone little nuffer up there, crying out in the wildnerness. It seems like there needs to be a certain number of nuffinghams (or a certain degree of vitriol in their nuffness) _and_ a certain number of enthusiastically (rabidly?) pro-Cuters to get a good commentroversy going on. Someone good in math/stats could probably work out the formula for a good commentroversy. If they get that done and Meg figures out the right sort of Cute for the day… devastating commentroversy numbers. We could set new heights. :)

For people who don’t like it when there’s a lot of “commentroversy” on posts, there sure are a lot of people just begging to see some on this picture…

Let’s just look at the cute picture everyone…

124 pyrit 11.16.06 at 3:25 pm

sldkjfl;k – Thank You. THANK you. Thank YOU.
I add, there is no such thing as a “good commentroversy”.

125 ewolfe 11.16.06 at 3:29 pm

That’s ’cause controversy is fun sometimes–in that same sort of “I can’t believe I’m watching reality TV” way.

I think the perfect bait-the-nuffingham photo would include:
A rack
A rodent
A reptile
A baby.
Maybe an insect of some sort for extra credit.

Though I’m not sure how cute it would be. A professional could probably swing it. (And I apologize for the number of times I typed “commentroversy” in that last comment. I was a little enthusiastic.

126 pyrit 11.16.06 at 4:58 pm

ewolfe – Cool.

127 mary 11.16.06 at 6:08 pm

I’m so happy there were not any *OMG that POOR BABY!* comments.

SO CUTE. You can just see a little bubble over the dogs head “Oh no you dont kid!”

I love the comments on here. The one about the dog mouthing butts is my favorite. Astrid Jane you rock for sharing that story!

Cute likety spit pic!
Toe…toe adorable!!
Sweet nibblets!

129 Michelle 11.16.06 at 8:01 pm

For the record, ferrets are not rodents.

130 Martha in Washington 11.16.06 at 8:48 pm

Melissa (tired of boobies)-”it’s all fun and games until someone loses a toe” then it’s a WHOLE NEW GAME!!

131 Martha in Washington 11.16.06 at 8:49 pm

I bet that baby has the cleanest toes in the neighborhood!

132 ScorpioSpirit 11.16.06 at 9:11 pm

It looks like there are no teefs involved on the dog part, more just muzzlepouch schflumping. (if you know what I mean by schflumping). Luvving the way the baby hasn’t noticed he’s being toe-prodded.

133 ewolfe 11.16.06 at 9:15 pm

Michelle–no one said they were. I was thinking, actually, of the picture of the rat in the pantry that was up some time ago.

134 Alexis 11.16.06 at 9:47 pm

Thanks for the offers of Junior Mints, guys.

Chocolate lab, chocolate candy. What could be better?

(Just don’t give one to the other: “Chocolate’s not good for dogs!”)

135 ewolfe 11.16.06 at 10:03 pm

Michelle–ahem, rereading the above, I stand corrected. Someone did call them rodents above. You’re right, my bad. I think this will be my last CO comment. I always get myself in trouble. And I don’t have any brilliant puns to add to the party. I envy Aubrey!

136 Aubrey 11.16.06 at 11:16 pm

Ewolfe, if you’re still around, then stay around awhile! An apundance of punnage is not needed to enter the portals of the cute!

137 Jessarakitty 11.17.06 at 1:37 am

Am I the only one whose toes curled in tickle reflex when I saw this? Lab lips on bare toes make me need to scratch my feet against each other, every single time I see it. And yet I can’t stop looking at it.

138 selena 11.17.06 at 2:28 am

man hope the dog dont ave soars in its mouth

139 minnesnowtah 11.17.06 at 10:37 am

^ Nah, I’m sure it doesn’t.

“It’s a canine-kiddie conga line.”
- you’re right!

140 Elina 11.17.06 at 7:08 pm

My dog did that to one of my dolls when I was little… mom glued three toes back and one was lost forever. :D

141 TigerZahn 11.18.06 at 7:45 am

I saw this picture and imediately thought to the Mastiff head meets Baby Back. XD;;

Luck be with thee, it seems those comments didn’t spawn up in this one! ^_^

Doesn’t that Lab look a wee bit wee itself? :o Pupby!

142 Donna 11.18.06 at 5:45 pm

Now with twice as much toe fiber, it’s TastyBaby! The snack for dogs!

143 Amanda 11.18.06 at 6:33 pm

“Rodents are an acquired taste whereas who does not love a baby being chomped by a puppy?”

Monique, some folks like puppies, some likes ferrets, some like rats :)
Ferrets are not rats, BTW. They are related to otters, ermine and other mustelids.

144 Brak_Silverbone 11.19.06 at 2:26 am

“Hold on there, kiddo, you got a li’l peanut butter there on your toes…” *schlurp schlurp schlurp*

145 Carlisa 11.19.06 at 2:01 pm

Jaypo-

“Why is that baby kicking the puppy in the mouth? ;-)

-Too funny!Just hope that baby’s toenails aren’t sharp!

146 Subhangi 11.23.06 at 2:04 pm

Baybeee!!! Puppeeeee!!!

Oh, its a chocolate lab! Then thats a “Kronshe” for sure. Labs are the gentlest lovemonsters EVER.
