I need a good pick-up line

by Meg on January 16, 2008

FIrst of all, could this little pup-and-vest-with-handle combo be any cuter? [answer: Nyerhe!]

Second, the notion of a pet with a handle is so—so portabuhls. Someone pick him up!

It’s also a LIFE VEST for added protectshe, during flooding season, right Robin H.?

So cute….maybe he’s a lifeguard?

2 LunaKitteh 01.16.08 at 10:50 pm

Luv the winkin wit one eye akshun… sooooo coy..

3 Ann M 01.16.08 at 10:59 pm

Awww! He looks just like those puppy shaped handbags that are so popular now… Except he’s REAL!

4 CheshireCat 01.16.08 at 11:03 pm

Instead of putting your puppeh in a purse, let your puppeh BE a purse. What an idea; I wonder if he’ll hold your keys in his mouf.

5 Theo 01.16.08 at 11:03 pm

It’s a PuPurse, of course. Grab one and go!

Try our PuPoose Pak, too!

6 LunaKitteh 01.16.08 at 11:04 pm

Contrats on the not seccund spot, Gail!

7 CoffeeCup 01.16.08 at 11:05 pm

“aww…dog’s run off with the keys again…”

8 Martin-san 01.16.08 at 11:09 pm

Is a portable LapPup!

9 Theo 01.16.08 at 11:12 pm

Doctor! Doctor! I’m seeing Spot…

10 Loris 01.16.08 at 11:18 pm

I want to see him swimming!

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease can we see him swimming?

11 rabble 01.16.08 at 11:40 pm

oh yay! doggie life vests are the bestest! so prosh :)

…and just in case anyone wonders what purpose teh handle serves, it’s in case the puppeh falls into the water, you can just pick heem up and put heem back in teh boat, or on the dock, or if he’s leetle enuf, into your pocket :)

12 Hooligan 01.16.08 at 11:55 pm

It’s a PortaPup!

13 Gail 01.17.08 at 12:00 am

14 Christina 01.17.08 at 12:30 am

15 berthaslave 01.17.08 at 12:48 am

Odd color choice for that dog…he looks more like a fall.

16 circuscake 01.17.08 at 12:52 am

his eyes seems to be saying ‘think you can handle me?’

get it?! handle?!

(rolling on floor laughing at my own cleverness)

17 lurkingsmirk 01.17.08 at 1:11 am

bwahah circuscake.

pup looks like he’s wondering why he’s not being held right at this moment.

18 Aubrey 01.17.08 at 2:45 am

The only purse-pose this pup has in life is to wait right there for me to run over and clutch him in my arms.

19 liz 01.17.08 at 3:14 am

ok ya. picks up pup and… is MINE!.
[puts under arm and runs away in quickie zig zag motions.]
BUT. this puppeh looks frickin miserables.

*dies from cuteness*

22 liz 01.17.08 at 3:35 am

gee , i guess when you’re on the west coast y’re pretty much talking to yr’self after 7:15.
now I know how this pup feelz…. poor poor piti-ful me.

23 Alex 01.17.08 at 3:43 am

perhaps they make these for small children as well? seems like it could be very useful for lots of reasons, even beyond just being cute, like saving them from a speeding vehicle or falling out of a window or….who knows what. Well, drowning, duh. IF this were my pupurse I’d be carrying him around EVERYWHERE!

And Berthaslave:
I agree.I have a black dog who does look good in cools, but this dog, not so much.

24 Aubrey 01.17.08 at 3:55 am

liz – I’m in Los Angeles; it sometimes seems that way – just keep on talking: the conversation will be picked up the next day; or some nightowl will step in – or someone else…you have to realize that CO is in the process of taking over the world.

25 liz 01.17.08 at 4:09 am

thanks Aubrey-
geez. I know Theos sawin logs by now! (i hope)
and Berthaslave , You and Alex need simmer down now!
season colors for lil pups!??? this one looks adorables! (but still misarables)
what up ??? DUDES.

26 liz 01.17.08 at 4:14 am

hmm. sorry Alex.
i cant ASS ume you’re a dude.
bad call for me

27 berthaslave 01.17.08 at 5:15 am

You caught me, Liz. I know nuffin ’bout colors.

But I sure as heck know a Warren Zevon reference when I see one.

So long,
Norman.

28 carmini 01.17.08 at 5:54 am

29 Subhangi 01.17.08 at 6:24 am

A life preserver with reflector stripes, he needs a little sailor hat…awwwww

31 Christina 01.17.08 at 9:08 am

Nuh-uh liz, I got ‘im first. :P

32 Hon Glad 01.17.08 at 9:14 am

Pickupapup with every purchase.

33 Lannan 01.17.08 at 12:44 pm

Yay for my pup being on the internets! I wish I had a pic of him swimming for you Loris, but he’s decided that the water looks much prettier from the boat

34 Alex(andria) 01.17.08 at 1:58 pm

Haha, you’re correct Liz. I’m not a dude, but that’s ok. I have friends who’ve “gotten in trouble” for hanging out with me late at night until their significant others realize I’m a girl.

*assumes the role of British fashion expert, accent and all*
If you want your dog to be fashionable, as obviously this person did (otherwise she would have just chosen the standard flourescent orange), you should always consider your dogs complexion (or would it be furplexion?) when deciding on a color. It could really make or break the outfit, you know.

Haha. I think that was too much.

35 twig 01.17.08 at 2:38 pm

I have seen a few of these prosh pups on the subway. Very cute and stylishly attired for pups on the go!

I agree with Alex, little kids should have handles, too.

36 aurora 01.17.08 at 6:42 pm

oh.
i so get it
“It’s also a LIFE VEST for added protectshe, during flooding season, right Robin H.?”
like, raining cats and dogs?
no, ok.
that thought just sprang to mind..

XD
hee hee hee heeeeeeee haa!
just imagined a little kid with handeles,alex.. :)

37 Heather 01.17.08 at 8:27 pm

We have this exact same life jacket for our black teacup poodle! He looks just like that in his!! He isn’t a huge fan, but everyone at the lake sure thinks he’s cute :) At least he’ll be okay if he decides to jump in the water, and he’ll be in-style too!

38 Shannon 01.17.08 at 9:58 pm

Okay, you all can roll your eyes at me for not knowing, but what exactly is the pronunciation of “nyerhe”? I’ve never been quite sure.

And while I’m at it, can someone explain “bleen”? I get that it means you were the first to comment, but how did that come about as opposed to just saying “first”?

Thanks everyone!

39 Theo 01.18.08 at 3:42 pm

Trying to explain “bleen” is like trying to put lipstick on a thundercloud… but “nyerhe” is easy. You just say “no” with your whole face squinched up really hard.

40 A 01.19.08 at 2:17 am

I don’t know about this one Mummy……I’ll pose for you…………..just don’t expect me to wear it when you take me out!!
