    This is the just so sad. Poor little guy. All he needs is a neck cone to complete the misery.

  2. juliette says:

    that dog looks how i feel.

  3. sidney says:

    Oh please tell me someone is going to pick him up and love him. sob sob
    The song fits him well.

  4. Dara says:

  5. katerpie says:

    he just needs some petting… and some brushing. aw, lo’ hep me!

  6. Meatcup says:

    I don’t believe I ever did see a dog pout like that before…

    sad puppy eyes, yes

    full on pout with leeps? never ever

  7. Josée says:

    Aaaaw…poor little guy..

  8. paula says:

    Oh my poor baby! He needs some lovin’ – STAT!

  9. Pheas says:

    Awww, he’s got the broken-leg-someone-put-my-moonshine-outta-reach blues. Poor Oskare.

    Is he a Brussels Griffon?

  10. paula says:

    Nobody knows the trouble I seen…..Nobody knows my sorrow…..

  11. Laurie says:

    That is the saddest l’il pup ever!! I just want to hug and pet him/her ’til it’s all better!

  12. Awww… *SCHNUGGLE*

    He needs to have a chat with Thalia, the Colts pug from further down. They could commiserate about leg injuries over tea and biscuits. ^_^

  13. marmar says:

    ditto ditto ditto

    now, the other thing that caught my eye was the shadow of the pup on the side of that cabinet(?). at first i thought it was a reflection like in a mirror because there seem to be dark knots in the wood that correspond with an ear and a nose. No?

  14. musicchick2 says:

    Meg…. I totally heard your caption in my head with the tune to that commercial…”I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan…..’cause I’m a WOMAN! Enjoli” LOL!

  15. jaypo says:

    He so sad! Poor li’l fella.

  16. musicchick2 says:

    Marmar – OMG! Yew are tewtally right! *insert twilight zone music here* Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do

  17. hronnsa says:

    awww. hang in there little dude. you’ll be “in the game” soon enough. what a sad face!

  18. Fable says:

    Dont cry bebe…i am sure that soon you will find a fine island flower to chew on instead of my shoes;)

  19. PuppyMomma says:

    Poor scruffle-bums. He’s got a cast and one of my guys has stitches on his belly. Its a blue day for puppehs.

  20. Leilani says:

    Poor little puppers. All he needs is a teeny tiny tear trickling down his cheek.

  21. Candace says:

    I love it! The blues song caption, not the fact the puppeh is injured! This is sad and cute. Poor little scruffy doggie! Too bad he doesn’t have some moonshine.

  22. Roberta says:

    Oh That Sad Sad Puppy Face…..I Nee eed A Tree ee aat To Make Me feel Be eh tter

  23. jenn says:

    Okay, so I just came from pajiba.com and read their 10 most tear jerking moments on film or tv…which proceeded to make me BAWL. And I come here for a pick me up. Only now I’m crying harder for wee leetle oscar. Sniffle.

  24. Mel says:

    Oh my Loh! Oscar has done hurt my heart.

  25. Candace says:

    Marmar,
    I totally see it too! Wow, this picture just got downright artsy! Even the grai n in the wood looks like it could be the fur in a mirror reflection. Very well composed shot.

  26. holli says:

    I heart the song!!!

    He needs a kiss – send him over our way!!

  27. brad says:

    I think he’s an Affenpinscher. He sure is cute.

  28. chacha says:

    juliette, me too. perfect expression of a blue Wednesday. oh woe!

  29. Helene says:

    Awwwwwwww… *snif*

  30. Tarah says:

    *KISS**KISS**KISS**KISS**KISS*

    Don’t be sad Oscar…You are too cute to be sad.

  31. Rosie says:

    my girl and mah car.
    and now I got nuthin’ but…
    a paw cast and mason jar

    A jar of mooooooooooooonshine [howls]
    Oh just a jar of moooooooonshine

    I was down at the pub

    I broke my paw and got kicked about

    my girl and mah car.
    and now I got nuthin’ but…
    a paw cast and mason jar

    A jar of mooooooooooooonshine
    Oh just a jar of mooooooooooonshine

    Now nobody loves or pats me
    as i sit in the dark
    nobody hears me
    no matter how much i bark

    A jar of mooooooooooooonshine
    Oh just a jar of mooooooooooonshine

  32. Rosie says:

    oops, forget that second part about the girl and car, i accidentally copied it wrong

  33. hester13 says:

    Okay, I totally see the blues reference, BUT-

    did anybody else look at his hairdo, pout & blue spandex bandage and think: 80′s glam metal?? I like to think he’s not hurt, he’s just dolled himself up for the album cover shoot. The chixx are gonna go crazee for him!!

    What? nobody else? Oh well.

    (wanders off singing “sweet child o’ mine”)

  34. ebee says:

    Cute But Sad. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
    ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
    ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
    ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
    ooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
    *snif*

  35. pookiepuff says:

    AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Someone hold the poor little pup and snorgle him! He needs a good snorgling!

  36. michellemybelle says:

    I want to hug him until he’s better – what a wonderful leetle doggie.

  37. Miss Beth says:

    That’s simultaneously tragic AND precious.

  38. pyrit says:

    “I feeuhl so bayud I got a wuhrried mind, Ahm so lonesum awl teh time, since ah left mah bebeh behind, o-o-on Balue Bayoo-oo-oo,” boo-hoo-hoo. . .

  39. pyrit says:

    As mothers used to say, “You could sit on that bottom lip.”

  40. Pheas says:

    pyrit — Blue Baroo?

  41. musicchick2 says:

    Hester – Yes! Like in Flashdance?? LOL!

    Pyrit – my Mom used to say that too, only it was “dance” on that lip. Then she’d take her fingers and try to “dance” on my bottom lip until I cracked up.

    Blue Baroo reference, Pyrit & Pheas. AWESOME! I even gots that Linda Ronstadt album (on cassette!) LOL!

  42. M Gomez says:

    Awwwwww!

  43. pyrit says:

    I thought of baroo but it didn’t fit the mood. Cute though.

  44. Aubrey says:

    Now since my owner left me
    I’ve found a new place to dwell:
    for the cost of the bone you eat
    at Pawbreak Hotel.
    I’m so lonely, I’m so lonely,
    I’m so lonely that I could die.

    And though CO’s always crowded
    Meg can still find some room
    for broken leg-ged puppehs
    to cry there in the gloom
    and be so lonely, oh so lonely,
    oh so lonely they could die.

    Bright colors are not showing,
    bananaphones are black.
    They all add to a lonely scene
    and that sure’s a fact
    and it’s so lonely, oh it’s so lonely,
    it’s so lonely I could die.

    So if your owner leaves
    and a tail your howls can sell
    just walk on with your three good feet to Pawbreak Hotel
    where you’ll be lonely and Oscar’s lonely,
    we’ll be so lonely that we could die.

  45. lrita says:

    goodness grasheous, i can here that blues shuffle and that sad doggie howwwwl sure enough. bless that doggie’s fluffy muzzlepuff and pass the mason jar!

  46. Theo says:

    Aubrey — you ain’t never caught a rabbit…

  47. Aubrey says:

    T., you thought you were high class…

    wait…BUNNEH???…where???

  48. Theo says:
  49. Anastasia_Beaverhousen says:

    awwwwww!!! he is totally working that pout, poor oscar! he looks like a brussels griffon…I have one that makes the same face ALL the time…to get out of trouble, to get some extra love…to get a treat…you get the point..

  50. you guys r silly says:

    I’m just a broken puppeh
    a sittin’ on a parquet floor
    I’m wedged in here next to the cupboard
    and the backyard door
    I’ve got the
    sad puppeh blues, mah brothah…
    I’ve got the sad puppeh blues…
    ain’t no one to kiss my muzzlepuff
    couldn’t it please be one of youse? . . .

  51. Aubrey says:

    Bunneh…with the blues? Don’t get it. You’ll have to provde me with some Clues to these Blues.

  52. BlueFairy says:

    Oscar looks just like my Frankie. Please somebody say what breed he is. I picked up Frank from the side of the road. And yes, Frank can look as sad as that without a cast. But he can look really happy too.

  53. Redzilla says:

    This just recalls to me the best moment of my first BB King concert, when he sings, “Nobody loves me, ‘cept my mother. And she might be jivin’ too.”

    Poor pupper, I’m not jivin’.

    Teho & Aubrey–you guys are tearing it up today. [applause]

  54. Emmy says:

    aw! That is the cutest sad-puppy face ever. Great photo too!

  55. pyrit says:

    And ygrs too! waaahhh.

  56. pyrit says:

    “Assemble round, O, dear children of CO, Oscar’s is a sad tale of woe, …”

  57. Roberta says:

    I Always Heard: “A Birdies Gonna come Sit (Yeah; Sit Is WhatI Heard)On That Lip”

  58. Theo says:

    SOMEbody’s feet’s steppin’ mighty close to my blue suede shoes.
    Won’t say whose.

  59. Roberta says:

    OK; Gonna Try My Luck Here

    Sittin Here In Limbo o
    Like A Dog Without A Bo one
    Sittin Here In Limbo o
    Knowing That I’ve Got To “Go ooo”
    Well; They’s Been Some resistence
    But I Know That My Faith Will Lead Me On

    Sittin Here In Limbo o
    Waiting For The Cast To Mol old
    Sitting Here In Limbo While My Food Is Gettin Co oold
    Well; Theys Been Some Resistence
    But I Know That Faith Will Lead Me On

    I Don’t Know Where Life Will Lead Me
    But I Know Where I’ve Been
    I Don’t Know What Life Will Show Me
    But I Know What I’ve Seen
    Had Ny Share Love And Friendships
    But What’s In The Past Is Gone
    This Little Dog Is Movin On

  60. Roberta says:

    Forgot To Mention John Sabastian And His Album Tarzana Kid

  61. Anna says:

    Baroo..indeed. sad sad sad. I just heard a crack – it was my heart breaking:(

  62. Deb says:

    This photo is definately a Hallmark moment.

    Poor little guy! :-(

  63. gret says:

    Can I have the Tabs for that song?

  64. hester13 says:

    pyrit, mc2, roberta-
    My lil sis was a big proponent of that pout, and my dad used to call it “the pig tripper.” Oooh man, did that always bust me up.
    How great to hear all the variations! Never heard the bird perch or dance floor before!

  65. Noel says:

    I wish I could put that poor little puppeh on my lap, and we could have a big, long cry together right now. :-(

    I’m feeling just like him.

  66. ivy says:

    Paws up and hugs all around to all the CO-ers (human and not so human) feeling poorly right now.

  67. kamihi says:

    Bless thats one sad looking doggo.

  68. Yitzysmommie says:

    I love kittehs WAY more than puppehs, but poor sad Oscar makes me want to snorgle & cuddle & pet him. Poor baby! Hope he’s bouncing around again.

  69. Moosie says:

    Awesome photography – I swear the grain of the wood, which at first glace looked like the pattern of the fur, made the shadow look like a reflection!

  70. Karen in Toronto says:

    Play the song backwards:

    “Got my girl back,
    Got my truck back,
    Got my pwner back,
    My leg’s out ‘a the caaaaast…”

  71. pyrit says:

    “I’m bluer than blue,
    Sadder than sad . .”

    (Beary Wormilow ;-) )

  72. Theo says:

    Karen in Someplace Further North — LOL!
    Whoa-oh, I got them back-masked oranges…

  73. TFMS says:

    Well I ain’t seen my foot on nigh on a week.
    Wanna get gassed so I can’t even speak.
    Come on down here and listen to me.
    One treat ain’t enough man, ya better make it three.

    One Milkbone
    One Snausage &
    One Pig Ear

    (Apolgies to George and the Destroyers)

  74. Kate says:

    I love the shadow on the wood behind him. The knots in the wood sorta look like an ear and a nose.

  75. pyrit says:

    “The old grey ‘dog’, ‘Oscar’, stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, “Why?” and sometimes he thought, “Wherefore?” and sometimes he thought, “Inasmuch as which?” and sometimes he didn’t quite know what he was thinking about.”
    (from, Eeyore’s Thistly Hideaway)

  76. Roberta says:

    Hester…..The Pig Tripper If Funny.

  77. Roberta says:

    TFMS…..I Was Thinking I Needed To Offer Appologies For Mine. When I Sing It It My Head, It’s In MY VOICE…..L O L

  78. Margaret says:

    His face totally says “My baby done left me” :(

    Poor little dude.

  79. Trudy says:

    Awhhh… Poor Oscar. Please post another picture when he is feeling all better.

  80. Claire says:

    That shadow on the wall is amazing. Poor lickle doggy.

  81. The Honourable Gladys Anstruther says:

    Oh mah gosh, prosh prosh prosh.

  82. Subhangi says:

    Awwww, poor lil’ pup.

    *hugs*

  83. MelissaLovesPugs says:

    Poor little precious bebeh! He needs hugs and cuddles!

  84. Theo says:

    TFMS & the Destroyers! Rockin’!

  85. Susan R. says:

    Anyone care to paint Oscar on black velvet?

  86. Paulette says:

    I said I got my leg in a bub bub bub blue cast and I’ts achin’ oh so baaaad.

    Now my pic is on Cute Overload, I knows I’m cute…but sad.

    Waaaahaaaaaaa!

  87. Faye says:

    Maybe if he visits Cute Overload he will feel better.

  88. Tara says:

    He’s just unbelieveably adorable, dance floor pout and all, and now I wants me one! I didn’t even know about the Affenpincher breed but it was love at first sight.

  89. tracey says:

    I must know what kind of a puppy this is! SOOOOOOOO cute!

  90. Hannah says:

    His fluffy shadow looks so cool!

  91. ajax says:

    Aaaah, the talent around here never relents! Applause all around!
    And careful hugs to Oscar.

  93. Susan says:

    Sniffle. I hope little dude is ok.

  94. Alice Shortcake says:

    The saddest little dog I’ve ever seen. I hope his leg will be better soon.

  95. darkshines says:

    When Tom Waits wrote Rain Dogs, it was about this little dude….*plays harmonica*

  96. Skittles says:

    Awww! I can relate since I broke my wrist and now have a cast on it. Baroo, little guy! Get better…

  97. jordan Grabow says:

    does anyone else see how remarkable the shadow is?

  98. Zoe says:

  99. carmen says:

    I just wanna give this little guy a whole mess of kisses!!!

  100. Scott says:

    This is the saddest dog I’ve ever seen. All it needs now is an emo MySpace profile.

  101. Theo says:

    The blues eats emo with a moonshine chaser, sonny.

  102. luvylove says:

    I seriously can’t even handle how cute this sad sweet baby is!! My head just popped off!

  104. jessica jones says:

    Hey everyone, that’s my little dog Oscar you have all been loving (with the exception of Danny, but to each his own). Oscar is a Brussels Griffon and he’s in excellent shape now. Fully recovered and still pouting daily to get his way!

  105. Theo says:

    Thanks, Jessica J. Nice pic.

  106. i luv candy* says:

    poor oscar, i hope he feels better…):>
