Mint, anyone?

by Meg on December 20, 2006

You know, a "Bob’s Sweet Stripe" would really hit the spot.

Let’s see if I can dig in here and find the perfect one. [Dig dig dig]

Yep. There’s a juicy leg on this one.

That is so cute! Look at the little leg dangle! I bet their fur is so silky. I’d love to rub lil warm pupper body again my cheek.

Just awwww!

7 punkpie 12.20.06 at 7:34 pm

8 ceejoe 12.20.06 at 7:34 pm

omg, I thought at first da puppers were about an inch big… then I got to third picture…
whew! that must be a *big* bowl!

9 Rafael 12.20.06 at 7:35 pm

Rotty pups! They be so anorable when they that small.

10 carolina 12.20.06 at 7:38 pm

Honestly, yew peepul are tryin’ to keel meee! FOUR pups in a candy basket?? Come on!!

I can’t wait to see comments from the Redzilla/pyrit gang. On this one – the possibilities are endless. We already have a “puppermint” on here.

I’m just going to absorb the snorgladorableness of it all and forget trying to be creative because I am out of my league and also exhausted from today’s assault of infant kittens and hiding hamsters. *swoon*

But, yeah, the leg. . . *CHOMP*

11 Rob 12.20.06 at 7:39 pm

I’ll take a choco-mint please….

12 Karen 12.20.06 at 7:44 pm

DEAR GOD!!! Soooooo widdle! This website is keeeeelling me!

13 carolina 12.20.06 at 7:46 pm

Um, and, um, *clears throat* . . .the microscopic ear floppage and stubby little muzzelpuff wrinkles (stubblepuff wrinklage?) Just wanted to point that out cuz I’m sure nobody else is gonna pick up on that.

Ahem.

14 MarianRose 12.20.06 at 7:50 pm

can i have one of these?

15 Sarah 12.20.06 at 7:50 pm

Them’s some sleeeeepy lil stubbypuffs!

16 Rumi 12.20.06 at 7:56 pm

Oh Good Lord.

That is all. :)

17 Martha in Washington 12.20.06 at 8:02 pm

I’ll take a handful, please.
*reaches into bucket slowly as to not wake the pups and cause a ruckus, then slowly puts handful into pocket and races for the door*

18 Kate 12.20.06 at 8:04 pm

The ear nubbins! And the little drooping hind leg! And the shiny shiny shiny coat!

The barely-hand-sized-ness is just the final straw… I can’t move now.

19 Heather S. 12.20.06 at 8:08 pm

Dear sweet Jesus… can I naw on one of those just for a second?

20 Elizabeth 12.20.06 at 8:11 pm

My goodness! Someone has finally invented the perfect antidote for dog breath! I want some!

21 Theo 12.20.06 at 8:16 pm

PUPTOES! PUPTOES! PUPTOES! SEE?????

22 GreenEyedHawk 12.20.06 at 8:20 pm

They’re not Rotties I don’t think. They look a LOT like the Min Pin puppies that we used to breed. My friend Jared called them ‘Rat-weilers’.

They are dead cute and they have that new-puppy smell to them. Dawwwww.

23 pyrit 12.20.06 at 8:22 pm

carolina (looking wide eyed tapping my chest) Me? I have a life you know. I do. No really.

24 Kit 12.20.06 at 8:23 pm

Puppomints! ::stuffs pup in mouf::
I love how the container says “SOFT mint candy.” Nothin’ softer that puppage.

25 EliottM 12.20.06 at 8:24 pm

Actually, they’re guarding those candies. Be careful.

26 NebraskaErin 12.20.06 at 8:25 pm

I’d like to visit the restaurant that brings THESE with the check!

27 hrh.squeak 12.20.06 at 8:37 pm

Wrinkly little muzzlepuffs = wubblepuffs.

Wubblepuffs, wubblepuffs,
You look sleppy to greet me
Pupper toes, pupper nose
In my mint bowl so sweet-ly

Pupper of luv sent from up above
Sent from above to be snor-gled
Wubblepuff, wubblepuff,
In my mint bowl be ado-red!

(Sing to “Edelweiss”, softly so you don’t wake the puppers.)

28 Molls 12.20.06 at 8:39 pm

I bet they have those puppermints in the employee lounge over at CO headquarters. Got to get me a job there.

29 daisycat 12.20.06 at 8:40 pm

No mints necessary…I wof de puppeh brefs.

30 jaypo 12.20.06 at 8:44 pm

[beep on nose]
[beep on tock]

31 chacha 12.20.06 at 8:45 pm

Is a bucket full of pocket-sized puppies a pucket?

puppermints = LOL

Give these guys another week and they will be Squirmy McSquirmersons. Now they are just Sleppy McSleppersons.

Good on you, peeps, the comments this week are top notch!

32 carolina 12.20.06 at 8:47 pm

Awright, I’d really like to drape one of those over my shoulder just so I can feel the puppy breath and hear the teeny “ehn, ehn” sounds they make when you do that. *sigh*

CO is killin’ me today. The ferret thing was the last straw of unrelenting cuteness for today.

I’m exhausted from trying to prevent a brain asplosion.

33 carolina 12.20.06 at 8:50 pm

pyrit: Are you saying you are trying work or something because that’s just no excuse!

;)

34 JH 12.20.06 at 9:03 pm

Awwwwww :) I hope they get such great homes if they are adopted out.

35 Rosie 12.20.06 at 9:03 pm

the mints are to hide the puppy taste on yur breath from after you illegally snorgle them/possibly eat their cuteness

36 mouse girl 12.20.06 at 9:03 pm

Eee! So tiny!

37 Rosie 12.20.06 at 9:09 pm

38 citizen 12.20.06 at 9:10 pm

omg, i want to put it in my mouth and chew on its cute fat body. lol. so squishy cute!

39 Teri 12.20.06 at 9:11 pm

I wanna stuff these little guys under my sweater with the marme kittehs. It should be alright, shouldn’t it?

40 CG 12.20.06 at 9:17 pm

41 Rosie 12.20.06 at 9:24 pm

sorry bout the double post, i think it’s cuz i reloaded the page

42 pyrit 12.20.06 at 9:30 pm

CG – Here! Use a snorgle!

43 Robbie 12.20.06 at 9:36 pm

They may freshen your breath, but then you have to pick the fur out of your teeth.

44 barbie 12.20.06 at 9:45 pm

The dang pink toeage on the last pic. I can’t take it anymore! I keep exploding – thank God for his special glue to put me back together so I can explode all over again and again!!!!

45 Fish Eye no Miko 12.20.06 at 10:20 pm

sardoll: “puppermints!!”

LOL! That’s awesome.
Awwww… so cute… [melts]

46 mlle_x 12.20.06 at 10:23 pm

they look so scrumptious!!!!

47 zeldapie 12.20.06 at 10:37 pm

I know they’re mints, but they’re shaped like little beans. Little fat, scrumtious beans.

48 Cat-astrophe 12.20.06 at 10:39 pm

Why don’t they sell this bucket at *my* Sam’s Club???

49 Redzilla 12.20.06 at 10:40 pm

Love how in the second pic, the bowl does appear to have been stirred about.

I was at a restaurant the other day with a departing mint bowl like this. yum.

50 MamaDawn 12.20.06 at 10:48 pm

After reading us talk about snorgling, my 14 year old tried it on Lucky Cat… the mission was unsuccessful and he ended up with claw marks on either ear. A user caution sign should be hung on all fully clawed critters.
I want a bowl of puppies on my desk!!

51 Theo 12.20.06 at 11:00 pm

MamaDawn — I just consider the claw marks the price of admission (and badges of honor).

52 MamaDawn 12.20.06 at 11:33 pm

Theo — In another life Lucky was abandoned when his people moved & left him. A friend knew of my weakness for black cats… so he came to us, but still gets flashbacks. I can snorgle him all day and he loves it when you hold him like a baby, tummy up.

53 ElfOwl 12.20.06 at 11:44 pm

PUPPIES! God I want a puppy. I forgot how scrumptious they are when they’re that TINY!

EEEEEE!!!!!

Rat-weilers = HEElarious. But look at the size of that morsel cupped in that womans’ palm. I’m thinking a min-pin that size would have it’s eyes open, but I’m no expert on toy breeds.

54 Nightfiresown 12.20.06 at 11:44 pm

Cute-a-licious! Yum!

55 LeFox 12.20.06 at 11:46 pm

I can’t help but notice the very small size difference between the pups and the mints.

56 CG 12.20.06 at 11:47 pm

Thanks pyrit!

::straps on snorgle and goes pup-diving::

57 Matt Reda 12.20.06 at 11:55 pm

Dump them all in a blender.

58 Theo 12.21.06 at 12:03 am

[smacks Matt Reda upside head with rubber spatula]

59 GreenEyedHawk 12.21.06 at 12:49 am

ElfOwl- They’d be a few days away from having their eyes open at that age. I’d post pics of some of the rat-weiler puppies we’ve had here over the years, but sadly my camera does not take CO-quality pics.

60 Jessarakitty 12.21.06 at 1:19 am

Puppermints, strap on snorgles, fur in teeth and puckets. I HAVE to stop reading this at my desk; snorting coffee is hard on the keyboard. Plus a totally gratuitous earworm. Wottabunch!

61 Erin R. 12.21.06 at 2:37 am

I *need* to pop a tiny kiss on that little shiny-new puppy noggin.

62 Theo 12.21.06 at 3:23 am

G.E.Hawk — “RAT-WEILER”??! OMG, is that seriously a name in common usage? Even semi-seriously, like “Labradoodle?” Oh please let it be true.

63 Theo 12.21.06 at 3:24 am

JessaraK — yep, you need one of these too:

Tiny lil’ Sweetmutts!!!! Aieeeeeeeeeeee!!!

*SNORGLE*

66 J. Bo 12.21.06 at 12:05 pm

Sweet, sleepy, kissy puppy!

67 PinkyToe 12.21.06 at 1:09 pm

Must kiss puppy knees…NOW!!!!!

68 little gator 12.21.06 at 2:50 pm

Are they Dobermints?

69 kk 12.21.06 at 3:40 pm

JUICY LEG?? AHAHAHAHAH

70 AuntieMame 12.21.06 at 3:47 pm

Puppermints? Sweetmutts? Dobermints?

Ahahahahaha!!!!

71 Beautiful Drunk 12.21.06 at 3:56 pm

That dangling leg is completely killing me! Seriously, I have a pain in my chest and shortness of breath…

72 you guys r silly 12.21.06 at 4:09 pm

min-pin-mints?
&:o?

73 you guys r silly 12.21.06 at 4:11 pm

Imagine finding one of THESE mints on your pillow!
&:o)

74 Serena 12.21.06 at 5:41 pm

soo DEE-lectable!!

75 Cuirious Min Pin Lover 12.21.06 at 6:39 pm

So, what kind of puppies are these?

76 Lisa 12.21.06 at 7:01 pm

I’m so glad to see I’m not the only one with an uncontrollable urge to gnaw on poopies! I mean, their little ears and feets smell like Fritos…what are you supposed to do? Resistance is futile!

I bet I could almost get a whole one in my mouth…;-)

77 GreenEyedHawk 12.21.06 at 7:14 pm

Haha, mint-pins!

No, rat-weiler is not a common-usage thing like ‘Labradoodle’. It’s my friend’s special name for the fat little min-pin puppermints that we have around here on occasion. Sorry Teho.

78 JessJess 12.21.06 at 7:21 pm

@_@ So cuuuute!! -dies-

79 Giuseppe 12.22.06 at 9:20 am

So cute, id wish they never grow any bigger :(

80 Beth 12.22.06 at 2:03 pm

I want a puppermint! Is it possible for these widdle cuties to embody all 27 rules of cuteness at once? I think so….
tiny ears
tiny tails
dangling dainty paws
eye capsules
probably fat little pink bellies
serious C.O.!
Could they be baby doxies? If so, that would push me right over the edge into the abyss of cuteness!

81 Lorri 12.22.06 at 6:00 pm

Those pups are soooo cute

82 Lorri 12.22.06 at 6:01 pm

Are they Rottie Pups?

83 Rach 12.22.06 at 11:05 pm

How cute is that~! Great idea dipping them in mints. LOL I bet they smell really good now. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful picture. It really brought a smile to my face.

((((((little tiny belly rubs))))

84 Ilals 12.23.06 at 5:46 am

ass

85 chelsie 04.06.07 at 2:32 am

Are they Miniature Pinchers?
