It fills my heart with joy to know that people seeing cuteoverload will now have heard of my quiet little profession. It’s all we can hope for that our products would be so adorable as to be featured in C.O.!

Aw-some

6 Theo 11.13.07 at 3:57 pm

I suppose we should be grateful it wasn’t designed the other way around.

7 LauraK 11.13.07 at 3:58 pm

Wow–this might even be better than my nose pencil sharpener (you stick the pencil in the nostril).

8 Hon Glad 11.13.07 at 3:58 pm

A dawg with an automatic litter tray. Neat.

9 In Awwwe 11.13.07 at 4:07 pm

Theo – the image you put into my head was oh so very wrong :)

10 luvinmalssomuch 11.13.07 at 4:13 pm

11 Subhangi 11.13.07 at 4:35 pm

Maybe if they sell well enough, they’ll make different breeds, too!

14 beth 11.13.07 at 5:10 pm

I have this pencil sharpener. It’s so cute, the little ears move when you use it.

15 no_one 11.13.07 at 5:15 pm

Lol. Theo, that image is horribly burned into the back of my eyelids!

Why did you have to post the link to that site???? Now I have an order of overly cute stuff coming in the mail!@!!!

18 Tiffany 11.13.07 at 5:37 pm

Not cute, just weird…a little disturbing even…

19 Lizzie 11.13.07 at 5:38 pm

OMG I used to have one of those! Mine was brown and white though. Mine broke, the tail came off but it was fun while it lasted.
^_~

20 Redzilla 11.13.07 at 5:43 pm

Of course it’s sold out, because the first fifty people to visit CO today have already ordered theirs!

21 alissa 11.13.07 at 6:13 pm

23 Angela P. 11.13.07 at 6:25 pm

I’m slightly obsessed with pencil sharpeners… hehehe.

24 Sprock 11.13.07 at 7:01 pm

My day is ruined! The sharpener is out of stock!!!

Sniffle, sniffle, sniffle.

25 Theo 11.13.07 at 8:41 pm

You could always pick up Dewi’s version, Sprock.

;)

26 berthaslave 11.13.07 at 8:58 pm

There’s nothing cute about poopshavings improperly disposed. Please, folks — be sure to dump your shavings in a sanitary place and don’t just let them run down the gutter.

27 Kelly 11.13.07 at 9:20 pm

I have one of those!
But its in light blue-ish =]

28 Madison 11.13.07 at 10:57 pm

They also make elephant, hippo, and panda pencil sharpeners with a tiny paper shredder, too.

I have a blue elephant.

29 k* 11.14.07 at 1:26 am

i have a pink one and a blue one of these! the gift shop that i work at sells all kinds of cute stuff like this!

30 Yubi Shines 11.14.07 at 1:44 am

I never had a puppy sharpener. I did have a little stove with a chicken inside. (You stuck the pencil in the base of the stove, and sharpening rotated the chicken.) I wonder where I put that thing.

31 Kelley O 11.14.07 at 2:39 am

I had to go order one, along with some CAT BUTT magnets for various animal lovers in my life. Will be perfect for holiday gift giving. Because who doesn’t love animal butts at Christmas? ;)

32 Amanda 11.14.07 at 2:44 am

fanTAStic! I saw something like that in Spencer’s a while back, only the shavings came out of the butt.

33 Julia (the one in BC) 11.14.07 at 7:59 am

Turns out the sellers (“The Spoon Sisters”) don’t ship outside the United States.

All I can say is… POOP.

(And may I add: &*%#$.)

:-(

34 Charlie 11.14.07 at 8:43 am

35 Adrija 11.14.07 at 10:45 am

I wish all my stationery could be as cute as that!
But No, all you get is stuff related to Barbies (yikes!) around here.

36 circuscake 11.14.07 at 1:02 pm

i really want this but just realized i rarely use pencils. hmmm…

37 Addy N. 11.14.07 at 1:21 pm

My daughter has a PINK one. Present from grandma….

38 Fia 11.14.07 at 4:10 pm

Ha, My year four teacher had that sharpener.
I remeber the look she gave me when she caught me laughing to myself whenever I sharpend my pencil.
Thanks Mr Sharpener.
You cost me a break time.
Although it was partly because I didn’t give in my green homework book. Anyways…

39 jenpop 11.15.07 at 7:34 am

40 Keef 11.15.07 at 4:52 pm

What?!?! No mention of the suction-cup feeties? Think of the little popping sounds as he walks!

41 Elaine 11.15.07 at 10:39 pm

Hey everyone! they sell these at The Container Store in pink and blue. Best part is that theyre only $2! get them while they last bc an employee told me they were flying off the shelves

42 Wendee, Industrial Designer / Educator 11.16.07 at 2:53 pm

Props to C.O. for knowing it would have been an Industrial Designer that came up with this. That’s pretty sharp! < -- sorry. It was there, had to say it. What will these crazy, creative people come up with next?

43 Emmi Torstensson 11.22.07 at 12:32 pm

I have one of those! It moves its ears. But mine is blue.
