    The poof on this guy’s nose is perfect.
    He’s all brushed up and perfect for his photo.
    An official squeeee.

  5. yoohoostereo says:

    Glad to see that while CO is PC this holiday season (huzzah for that), they remain to keep the CUTE!

  6. Golden says:

    That’s awesome! And I did just send it to my favorite Jewish person .. and he LOVED it.

    Wayyyy to go CO!

  7. Melissa says:

    Wow! His eyes look like doll’s eyes don’t they??? so cute!! :)

  8. A thinker says:

    Aaaaand he’s got the yeem going on, too.

  9. Melissa says:

    His nose even looks plastic!

  10. Renee says:

    Shalom and Happy Hannukka!!
    He’s cute!

  11. Subhangi says:

    Awwww! Could this be the Blue Kippah of Fabulousness?

    Happy Hanukkah, peeps!

  12. NebraskaErin says:

    He just looks like he’s totally trying to be serious, but failing miserably because no one takes something that cute seriously.

    Poor little rabbi-dog.

  13. Oh man, that is keeling me with laughter! I’m even tempted to send this to my fellow Witnesses…*LOL*

  14. Arvay says:

    I should put Bunn in an outfit like that. Then he’d be Rabbi Rabbit. :)

  15. Aubrey says:

    I’d like to stay at this ki-pooch.

  16. AuntieMame says:

    Heh! I wonder if that was made specifically for the pooch. It appears to be terrier-sized. :)

    Happy Hanukkah, folks!

  17. pyrit says:

    Oy! No rabid dog jokes.

  18. paula says:

    I may have to convert!

  19. B. Modern says:

    At the risk of sounding irreverent on this holy occasion… I can’t resist the question…
    “Rebbs and Racks?”

  20. B. Modern says:

    ps:
    this little puppala made me plotz with laughter!

  21. Aubrey says:

    But I thought he found Gideon’s Bible.

    Oh. A racoon. Sorry.

  22. Dave says:

    So sacrilegious, yet so cute…my Yiddish heart is torn.

    Oh well…must surrender to the cute.

  23. EliottM says:

    Why is this pup different from all other–oh wait, wrong holiday.

  24. pyrit says:

    The Yippish Terrier
    Bark-mitsvahed at the menorrah,
    Passed over the Torah,
    ChJewed on a little matzoh ball
    Spun the dreidel down the hall
    Wore the Jewish emblem
    Then did the Gaza strip
    Babyled on with Beth lehem
    And said, “Santa-schmanta”
    I’ll take Rosh Hashanna.

  25. zeldapie says:

    Awww… warms the cockles of my heart. Happy Hannukkah!

  26. Kar says:

    The dog’s thinking:

    I think it’s time Mom and DAd had some of their own children to dress up and embarass.

  27. ceejoe says:

    ElliottM – you made me choke on my popcorn…
    But it’s been said many times before… shouldn’t eat or drink while perusing CO!

  28. Jessica says:

    Aww! Shalom & happy Hannuka!

  29. Jessica says:

    Aww! Shalom & happy Hannuka!

  30. Aubrey says:

    ceejoe:
    Choose one men-orah-nother: don’t do both!

  31. Laurie C says:

    We’ve had the baby Jesus, Hanukah, now all we need is a Festivus for the rest of us! I’ll take a passel of kittens snuggled around the base of an aluminum pole.

  32. sardoll says:

    still not kosher….

  33. sillygirl says:

    But if the kittens snuggle around an aluminum pole… doesnt that take the aluminum-ness away?? Actually we are still missing a Kwanzza representative. Any takers???

  34. Aubrey says:

    He’s off to celebrate Hannukah in Santa Paw-nica…

  35. layla says:

    Looks like he’s getting ready for his bark-mitzvah too.

  36. Sweet Pea says:

    I know this is intended to be cute and all….but its really innappropriate to be dressing an animal in religious wear.

    The photo of the kitten in the nativity was cute because it was natural. My cat at home has taken a liking to playing with the ceramic baby Jesus.
    But to make light of sacred things on purpose is a whole other thing.

  37. constance says:

    May I just say, that is adorable!

    Also..NICE ROCK! :D

  38. Exhaustedlonghorn says:

    As adorable as that pup is, I’m more fascinated by the fabulous rings of its owner!

  39. Liz says:

    Yeah, I really like the black pearl one on her right hand.

  40. lurkertype says:

    This lady’s got fab jewelry, a cute pup, looks like nice figure and hair — oy! she’s got it made!

    ^5 to Aubrey for the TL song.

  41. Dave says:

    Sweat Pea:

    I’m a practicing Jew, and–while there’s a small part of me that finds it questionable–I can accept it in the spirit of fun and cuteness in which it’s intended. (Though would I buy a tallis and kippah for my dog? No.)

    PS: I guess the right word here is “tail-is.” :-)

  42. aware says:

    wow, as i was scrolling down, i thought this was gonna be an, ahem, observant, dog in rack.

  43. Albertadude says:

    That is wonderful..so cute…Go Israel!!!

    Now if I have to find a picture of my favorite Jewish person, I guess I’ll go looking for a picture of Jesus!

  44. Arvay says:

    My mom has one of those little home Buddhist setups in her living room. I’m not sure what you call it–an altar? A shrine? Well anyway, it’s a little end table with the scroll mounted in the box, an incense burner, and fruit and water offerings to Buddha. I’m sure most of you have seen these things in the shops in Chinatown–a lot of Asians have one both in their home and in their business.

    Aaaanyway, my sister’s two cats stay with her (their grandma) when my sister and her husband travel.

    Guess what the kitten did last time? She jumped up onto the shrine and daintily lapped up Buddha’s water. :~D I do believe my mom had to act appalled out of obligation, but she was laughing her ass off when she told me!

  45. Arvay says:

    This is they, by the way:

    Naya is the snowshoe, and the Buddha-water-drinker. :)

  46. Christina says:

    I find these sorts of things hilarious. I showed this to my boyfriend this morning, and he told me that his aunt puts yarmulkes on her dogs.

    Sweet Pea – There’s a lot to be said for the ability to not take oneself too seriously.

  47. Marie says:

    Whoever sent this in did a mitzvah for sure! :D

    I totally dig this photo and wish our Jewish pup a Happy Hannukah!

  48. Yitzysmommie says:

    EliottM – I laughed out loud, as did my DH. Dave – the tail-is comment did me in.
    Chag Sameach everyone!

  49. viola says:

    But I AM my fave Jewish person! (and well done, ElliotM!)

  50. hmmm says:

    Is it wrong of me to notice the cute, perky (married) rack in the back?

  51. btfsplk says:

    Eye shine!

  52. aloysius says:

    It’s yet another strike against religion that something like this would be a problem.

    To those who had even a small issue with this, get over yourselves and enjoy the cuteitude.

  53. Theo says:

    I hardly see anybody complaining, Aloysius.

  54. Prakash says:

    this is cute and funny, maybe a little sad too hehe. I am surprised nobody said Mazel Tov to the Dog for getting his picture shown on CO.
