    umm class – how many rules of cuteness do we see in this picture?

    Discuss – http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/the_rules_of_cuteness/index.html

    Who can prove if we have a trifecta?

    you have thirty minutes, remember to put your names and date on the paper.

  25. Annie says:

    LOL Metsie Lets see.
    I got Chubbular feet, Eye capsuls, big head to body ratio, and don’t forget stubbularness… those ARE ALL cute rules??? Yes???

  26. Theresa says:

    My uncle has a basset (lovely dawg) named Flash. Flash! ;)

  27. Theresa says:

    PS if people use those buckwheat pillows, then why no sleep on kibbles? :P

  28. Kim says:

    I am in love with this pup. I just want to scratch his fat little tummy!

  29. Lisa says:

    My God, he has like 19 rolls on his leg alone – 3 cheers for Puppy Chub!

  30. Serenity says:

    I’ve been waiting for a basset on this site for awhile!

    *puts her glasses on and adjusts them on her nose* Hmm let’s see. Rules of cuteness:
    He has a curved, plump belleh (#38)
    Chub (#27) if that’s not chub I don’t know what is!
    Eye capsules (#21) Sort of the sleepy-eyes subset, don’t you think?
    Disproportionate ear-to-head ratio (#15)
    Obvy he hasn’t grown into his feets (#10)
    His food is also his pillow! (#8)

    Does it get any cuter than this? I THINK NOT!

    This basset baby should be NOMinated for an award *nods*

  31. jules says:
