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

Night, CO!

2 lauowolf 11.18.06 at 8:59 am

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 11.18.06 at 9:15 am

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

4 Lil 11.18.06 at 9:15 am

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

5 Gary Fixler 11.18.06 at 9:16 am

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

6 FionnaCathyLizzie 11.18.06 at 9:39 am

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

7 Jen Barnett 11.18.06 at 10:23 am

Siamese puppehs!

8 Michelle 11.18.06 at 11:02 am

Awwww. So beautiful!

9 StormCat 11.18.06 at 11:23 am

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*

Is this the opposite to spooning?

Dogs stealing the bed again..sheesh..

Wonder Twin Powers, activate! Shape of….

12 Meaghan 11.18.06 at 12:21 pm

Are you sure these aren’t conjoined twin puppies?

13 sara 11.18.06 at 12:35 pm

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

14 Redzilla 11.18.06 at 12:50 pm

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

15 pyrit 11.18.06 at 12:55 pm

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

16 Michelle 11.18.06 at 1:01 pm

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

17 Donna 11.18.06 at 1:01 pm

Cute, squared!

Hope the operation goes well.

18 DogFan 11.18.06 at 1:23 pm

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

19 pyrit 11.18.06 at 1:29 pm

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

20 Miette 11.18.06 at 1:41 pm

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

21 Denita TwoDragons 11.18.06 at 2:35 pm

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 11.18.06 at 2:45 pm

Ya know ya can’t kiss just one.

23 Alexis 11.18.06 at 3:09 pm

Beautiful.

24 sel 11.18.06 at 3:29 pm

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

25 MamaDawn 11.18.06 at 3:47 pm

Two thirds of Fluffy!

26 Theo 11.18.06 at 4:26 pm

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 11.18.06 at 4:56 pm

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 11.18.06 at 5:02 pm

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

29 pyrit 11.18.06 at 5:02 pm

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 11.18.06 at 5:10 pm

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 11.18.06 at 5:20 pm

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

32 PuppyLuv72 11.18.06 at 5:37 pm

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 11.18.06 at 5:47 pm

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 11.18.06 at 5:49 pm

Awwww!

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

35 PuppyLuv72 11.18.06 at 5:53 pm

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 11.18.06 at 6:08 pm

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 11.18.06 at 6:13 pm

Rorshach dogs!

38 warrior rabbit 11.18.06 at 6:22 pm

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 11.18.06 at 6:29 pm

Warrior Rabbit…

THAT’S FUNNY!!!!!

40 Martha in Washington 11.18.06 at 6:52 pm

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 11.18.06 at 7:01 pm

It’s the beast with two fronts!

42 A thinker 11.18.06 at 7:36 pm

It’s the TWO-HEADED DAWG OF DOOM.

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

43 Miss Bear 11.18.06 at 7:42 pm

Wow I just heard that song today too. Weird

44 lauowolf 11.18.06 at 8:27 pm

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

45 jaypo 11.18.06 at 8:29 pm

Thinkie, a doubly serious Sirius?

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

52 lurkertype 11.18.06 at 10:23 pm

Yes, these puppehs are conjoined at the Qte.

The NOSES, people!

55 Brak_Silverbone 11.18.06 at 11:59 pm

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

56 Lauri 11.19.06 at 12:42 am

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 11.19.06 at 1:57 am

Ahem. Felix means “lucky” in Latin.

But these puppers are happy and lucky.

58 John F 11.19.06 at 2:53 am

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 11.19.06 at 2:53 am

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

60 Lauri 11.19.06 at 3:26 am

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 11.19.06 at 8:37 am

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

62 soxfan 11.19.06 at 1:15 pm

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 11.19.06 at 2:22 pm

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 11.19.06 at 9:32 pm

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 11.20.06 at 1:49 am

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

bethypoo

66 anon 11.20.06 at 3:52 am

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 11.20.06 at 4:24 pm

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

68 HR 11.20.06 at 7:57 pm

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 11.20.06 at 9:57 pm

the dogs are cute.

70 Haley 11.20.06 at 11:37 pm

wow thats so cool

71 danyes 11.21.06 at 3:05 pm

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 German Short Haired Pointer – http://www.pedigree.com.sg/breeds/images/german_shorthaired_pointer_04.jpg

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 11.21.06 at 3:08 pm

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 11.23.06 at 4:07 pm

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…”
