Mama Don’t Let Yer Babies Grow Up to Be Chocolate

by Meg on May 16, 2007

Don’t let ‘em pick guitars
and drive them old trucks
Make ‘em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama don’t let your babies grow up to be Chocolate
They’ll never stay home
and they’re always alone
even with someone they love

OK OK OK, that’s not true at all, Mike M.

Bleen? How did this get posted below sweater pup? Or did I just miss it the 1st time around.

3 R. Moore 05.17.07 at 6:25 am

This is perfect, because in about half an hour it will be my birthday!

I was a darned cute pup. Er, baby.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

6 Fred 05.17.07 at 6:52 am

oops – my birthday wishes were a little premature. Is it after midnight there yet?? (5pm here)

I love this type of chocolate – no calories and it won’t rot your teeth!

Actually, here, it’s 5pm on the 17th, so it is your birthday if you were here – my head hurts now. I shall go home and stop contemplating time zones.

R. Moore, too bad you didn’t let us know on a bunny post so we could wish you a hippity hoppity happy birthday. Since you put it on the dog pictures we will just have to say you have a doggone good birthday,you darned cute pup.

Fred, where the heck are you, New Zealand? Time zones I get but International Date Line makes head all hurty. Every time I think I get it, it slips away, out of my mental grasp, like a wet kitty escaping from the bath.

Anyway, Labs are pretty much the opposite of that song. If there’s another dog, human, cat, or any other minimally sentient creature about, a Lab is not alone, because Labs are everyone’s friend. We had a black Lab. We should have had a sign: “Beware of Dog. Not responsible for injury due to excessive licking.”

What a cutie. I miss having a dog.

A picture of a happy puppy is cute. But a picture of the same happy puppy as a happy adult and still with the same loving family is cuter.

18 liz 05.17.07 at 1:37 pm

ahhhh. too bad they all have to grow up.
but. what a beautee-ful all-grown-up boy he is.

19 pyrit 05.17.07 at 1:44 pm

Aw, a Hershey’s Kiss, and a Cadbury’s Mr. Big bar.

20 Aurora 05.17.07 at 1:53 pm

Cute! I love how he looks like he’s smiling in the grown up photo :)

21 Lulu 05.17.07 at 1:58 pm

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! totally cut!!!!!!!!

22 DKN 05.17.07 at 2:15 pm

he’s smilink!

23 Theresa 05.17.07 at 2:16 pm

Lab-a-licious! The pose is almost identical– look at the position of the front paws! Labs rock, although one once almost broke every bone in my body jumping on me. I got out of a car, and the crazy bugger blindsided me.

24 AuntieMame 05.17.07 at 2:38 pm

How confusing. This post wasn’t here before!

I love how his right front paw is just inched in front of the left one in both pics.

25 R. Moore 05.17.07 at 2:46 pm

Thank you everyone!

Yup, the 17th is my birthday. And, strangely enough, I believe that my hair was the color of the pup’s when I was a wee mini-Moore. My hair wasn’t so thick, though :P

26 pyrit 05.17.07 at 2:58 pm

Note, the one paw is slightly extended in both photos, ready for a chocolate shake!

27 becky 05.17.07 at 4:55 pm

Oh my goodness! Just adorable.
And brings back very fond memories of my family’s first dog, a chocolate lab named Dave who was the silliest, most affectionate, gentle, and sweet dog we could have asked for. Everyone was this dog’s friend, even the tiny pomerarian who lived next door to us. They made quite a pair playing in the backyard together!

28 eikoleigh 05.17.07 at 5:28 pm

He’s cute both as a pup and as an adult.

Moquif is so right. Pups are cute, but even better is when they are raised into adulthood by the same family. That’s awesome.

29 Teresa :o) 05.17.07 at 6:01 pm

I love it.. :)

30 Cassandra 05.17.07 at 6:51 pm

Earworm, I’ve caught the earworm! Tragedy. Oh well, at least this time when I’m singing about cowboys I can picture leetle choco-babies running around in little doggy-sized cowboy hats :D

31 Deb Kerr 05.17.07 at 8:04 pm

Instant doggie. Just add water!

32 ThreeCatNight 05.17.07 at 8:26 pm

And like chocolate, mighty sweet and good for you, too.
I knew someone who had a chocolate Lab, and they truly are among the sweetest, shyest, and gentlest of dogs. Love in a cocoa suit!

33 TamTam 05.17.07 at 8:49 pm

oh my gosh! hes sitting the EXACT same way when hes all grown up! Even his paw positions are the same!!! way way way too cute.

34 Claudia 05.17.07 at 9:11 pm

That is too precious… my gosh those eye’s on the puppy!! And the happy doofy look on the grown up version! Love it.

35 leah 05.17.07 at 10:06 pm

36 Fred 05.17.07 at 10:09 pm

37 Shannon Johnson 05.17.07 at 11:04 pm

That was one interesting picture

38 Tor 05.18.07 at 3:10 am

Even the sidewalk is bigger!

Happy happy, R. Moore. Maybe you can get two days of birthday out of the international date line–just keep posting!

39 groovehouse 05.18.07 at 3:59 am

Haha! Great smile!

40 Brenda 05.19.07 at 10:59 pm
