I think it was under the crane tocks a couple days ago, I said I could just envision cuteologists all over the globe, running around, with cameras in hand, looking for *qte* tocks to photograph!
Here we go again… )
When Meg says: you know what you have to do- I thought of the scene in Uncle Buck where Buck is threatening to shave Tia’s head. (cue John Candy’s maniacal laughter.)
Ahh, I thought those looked like Great Pyrenees ‘tocks! We just adopted a Pyr mix puppy, who inherited partial fluffitude from his Pyr parent and his markings from his Australian cattle dog parent. Boy’s gonna be HUGE. Anyway, I’ve been researching both breeds the last few days, and there’s no fluff like Pyr fluff.
Theo –
I can’t post on Vox right now, so I’m hoping you’ll see this here. I found the BEST litterbox for tiny kittens is one of those foil baking pans from the grocery store. Get the kind that is only an inch or so deep, and then you can bend one edge down so they can almost walk into it. Plus they are really cheap and disposable!
I’m with alcarwen.. disturbed at my desire to snorgle a dog’s “bum”.. I guess it’s just as well (this time only) that I can’t actually get through the screen. The floofitude it toooo much!
He sure does have the cleanest ‘tocks I’ve seen on a white dog in a while…
I used to have a Kitty who was a Britishblue/Russian blue mix… She had the fluffiest thighs I’d ever seen!! I used to call her “Fuzzy thighs”… I loved to watch her run!!!
Reminds me of a dog I knew as a kid. She was half collie/half German Shepherd, ALL FLUFF. She was like a big cotton ball and the sweetest dog I’ve ever known.
I read the caption and at first I didn’t understand it. The picture looked like the head and front portion of one of those shaggy sheep dogs. Then I noticed the dog head on the other side and er…
Did anyone else read acelightning’s link on the “Poodle Scam?” Please tell me this is just a spoof and that people weren’t actually thinking these lambs were poodles.
I, unfortuantely, was extremely confused and thought this was the front of some kind of freakishly fluffy bird whos head and legs were covered with fluffs. I had to look at it several times before I understoond that I was looking at a dogs bum!! Oh the shame.
Oh my aieeeee!
*smacking self in the head* *think-think-THINK!*
Why am I thinking of that old old old commercial where the “housewife” asks the dry cleaners lady how she gets the clothes so clean and she says, “Ancient Chinese Secret” WHAT IS THAT PRODUCT???? I can’t help but wunder if this is what they used to get this dog so sparkling clean at the groomers!
Beautiful coat. Fantastic tail plume. As a former part-time dog groomer, and former setter and collie owner, who loves spending all day clipping, washing, drying, brushing/combing, trimming dogs (and cats) this dog would be wonderful to work on. So rewarding when the grooming is done and the doggie is all , “Oooh I feel weird, but frisky and …gorgeous!”
brinnan, I read about that poodle scam and it had me rolling on the floor.
Here it is:
The great Japanese poodle scam
Concerned Japanese pet owners ask….
Why doesn’t my poodle eat his dog food? and instead munch all the house plants, and why does his fur keep on growing, and why does he go maaaaa instead of bark?
The great unanswered questions are finally revealed!
Thousands of Japanese have been swindled in a scam in which they were sold Australian and British sheep and told they were poodles.
Flocks of sheep were imported to Japan and then sold by a company called Poodles as Pets, marketed as fashionable accessories, available at $1,600 each.
That is a snip compared to a real poodle which retails for twice that much in Japan.
The scam was uncovered when Japanese moviestar Maiko Kawamaki went on a talk-show and wondered why her new pet would not bark or eat dog food.
She was crestfallen when told it was a sheep.
Then hundreds of other women got in touch with police to say they feared their new “poodle” was also a sheep.
One couple said they became suspicious when they took their “dog” to have its claws trimmed and were told it had hooves.
Japanese police believe there could be 2,000 people affected by the scam, which operated in Sapporo and capitalised on the fact that sheep are rare in Japan, so many do not know what they look like.
“We launched an investigation after we were made aware that a company were selling sheep as poodles,” Japanese police said, the The Sun reported.
“Sadly we think there is more than one company operating in this way.
“The sheep are believed to have been imported from overseas – Britain, Australia.”
Many of the sheep have now been donated to zoos and farms
BTW: Yuki is absoposilutley the cutest of the cute. I love the little butterscotch sauce on her head! Such a surprise when the rest of the poochi is so luminously white. BeaUteful photos!
Yeah, I was just going to post the link to Snopes.com… I couldn’t quite imagine anyone not being able to tell the difference between a baby lamb and a baby poodle. (But, as P. T. Barnum said, nobody ever went broke overestimating human stupidity…)
Erin, Yuki is gorgeous! She looks very smiley too. Love the pic with her friend the kitteh….you must have white furry tumbleweeds under YOUR bed, just like me
OK Meg… since you’re getting soooooo many submissions, (and who wouldn’t submit to such X-treme Qte-itude?)… it’s obvious that a new category is now required : ‘TOCKS!
Flufftocks!!!!!
my favorite kind of ‘tocks! the floofie kind! love to see tocks like that walking…so cute and dainty!
tocksicity? bwahhaahhah! lurve it.
I think it was under the crane tocks a couple days ago, I said I could just envision cuteologists all over the globe, running around, with cameras in hand, looking for *qte* tocks to photograph!

Here we go again…

And the tail puts it right over the edge. Floof overload!
Must be one of these “Japanese poodles”:
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=263297
Wow, talk about your elegant dismissal!
“That will be all, human. Thank you.” [strut strut pad pad]
what a clean and fluffy, ‘tocktastic pup! it looks like he’s about to get his paws and nose a bit dirty though…
Heh. I read it as “They must be shopped,” instead of “They must be stopped.”
When Meg says: you know what you have to do- I thought of the scene in Uncle Buck where Buck is threatening to shave Tia’s head. (cue John Candy’s maniacal laughter.)
Those are some remarkably clean ‘tocks for such floofiness…WOOLITE®?
Bloomers!!!!
Yuki is a Great Pyrenees mix, and she had just gotten groomed for the first time (Thanks Susan!)
Flooftastictocks
This photo is ‘TOCKSIC (toxic)! HA!

Erin M. – do you have any pics of the front of her that you can show us?
We’d love to see Yuki’s sure-to-be *qte* face too!
Now that’s a fuzzbutt.
HA! One word: WONDERFUL!
How can anyone concentrate with ‘tocks like that??
FLOOFIEST OF ‘TOCKS ALERT!
Ahh, I thought those looked like Great Pyrenees ‘tocks! We just adopted a Pyr mix puppy, who inherited partial fluffitude from his Pyr parent and his markings from his Australian cattle dog parent.

That is over the top fluffiness. I call our Siberian Husky “princess fluffybutt”, cause her backside is so fluffy!
Fluffy white toosh-tocks, so immaculate!
This is gorgeous tocks-ness. It must be stopped.
What a lovely, huge white arse.

I love big tocks and I cannot lie!
1MKitters — forgiven. Hehe.
amillionkittens — That gave me a good laugh! I can see how it could be confusing.
Holy fluffitude, Batman!
Oh my aieeeee!
*smacking self in the head* *think-think-THINK!*
Why am I thinking of that old old old commercial where the “housewife” asks the dry cleaners lady how she gets the clothes so clean and she says, “Ancient Chinese Secret” WHAT IS THAT PRODUCT???? I can’t help but wunder if this is what they used to get this dog so sparkling clean at the groomers!
Perfectly groomed floof-tocks.
Metz — I thought Oxydol; internets thinks Calgon. Oh well.
Metz- Calgon laundry detergent… and I agree!
Toooo Fluffy!! Can’t stop watching!!
oh the fluffyness!! love the SOAD reference too
Beautiful coat. Fantastic tail plume. As a former part-time dog groomer, and former setter and collie owner, who loves spending all day clipping, washing, drying, brushing/combing, trimming dogs (and cats) this dog would be wonderful to work on.

Oh I remember that commercial but not the product…
Cute fluffy tocks. Love it.. especially the flooooofy tail!
If you think her rear is redonkulous, check out her front. Click my name for more pics of the lovely Yuki!
Erin M, what a totally unexpected fact to go with those fluff-tocks! What a gorgeous puppy!
Briann,
I read about it yesterday and didn’t believe it, but followed a few news sources and it seems to be on the up and up. All I can say is “bah”
Sorry, I meant Brinnann
brinnan, I read about that poodle scam and it had me rolling on the floor.

OMG! That’s Tocksic!
I realize that the Japanese are intelligent, canny people.
However, anyone who could look at this (http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2007190599,00.jpg) and think it’s a poodle?
I’m not sure they didn’t get what they deserve.
I am stunned and delighted not only by some of the fluffiest pantaloons I have ever seen, but by the sheep story too!
That would be one pair of fancy fur kulats comin; right up! Don’t forget to railroad it, and make it moo! (trans.: hurry up and make them white)
The fluffiest butt in the family!
Erin, you go girl, love the picture of you and Tuki playing in the snow.
Kiragirl
With a shape like that, I’d be surprised if this dog was not followed by s’tockers.
This picture:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisgrant/474734285/in/set-72157600141636493/
is obviously the reason why Yuki had to go to the groomers in the first place.
OMG! At first I thought that was it’s head! But tocks are soooooooo much betters.
acelightning, they pulled the wool over your eyes (and mine, most of today). It’s an urban legend:
http://www.snopes.com/critters/lurkers/poodlesheep.asp
BAAAAH.
Humbug.
Very floofy white ‘tocks!
When I was a little girl, we had this kind of thing in our back yard, and I immediately thought of that when I saw Mr. fluffytocks.

Gotta love Snopes! They are quick on the draw!

About the “Japanese Poodle Scam” –
It was recently featured on Snopes.com as an urban legend.
I think even the dumbest folks on the planet can tell the difference between a lamb and a puppy.
Yeah, I was just going to post the link to Snopes.com… I couldn’t quite imagine anyone not being able to tell the difference between a baby lamb and a baby poodle. (But, as P. T. Barnum said, nobody ever went broke overestimating human stupidity…)
PT BARNUM NEVER SAID THAT!
I read it on Snopes.
Snicker.
I guess I’m late for the Snopesing!
As I scrolled down the page, I saw the white fluff and expected an old English sheep dog. Boy, was I surprised!
Very Disturbing! No more pictures like that Please
Seriously, are you kidding me?
We have a FLUFF NUFF???
Erin, Yuki is gorgeous! She looks very smiley too. Love the pic with her friend the kitteh….you must have white furry tumbleweeds under YOUR bed, just like me
Teho, maybe it’s the…cleavage…
