Kittens or puppies = supernatural ability to sleep anywhere, anytime.

11 chanpon 03.18.08 at 6:28 pm

Oh my, what big paws you have! And for a quick second I almost thought he had orange feet, until I noticed they belonged to a stuffed toy.

12 DoodleyDog 03.18.08 at 6:30 pm

24 metsakins 03.18.08 at 8:02 pm

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 03.18.08 at 8:15 pm

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 03.18.08 at 8:22 pm

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

27 Theresa 03.18.08 at 8:23 pm

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

28 Kim 03.18.08 at 8:36 pm

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

29 Lisa 03.18.08 at 8:37 pm

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

30 Serenity 03.18.08 at 8:44 pm

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 03.18.08 at 8:49 pm

OMG the paws.

The paws!

THE PAAAAWWWWZZZZZZ!!

32 Birdcage 03.18.08 at 8:52 pm

I can just imagine his soft wittle flews puffing in and out with each sleepy breath. I claim the top of his head for my kisses!!!

33 J. Bo 03.18.08 at 8:52 pm

35 Rumi 03.18.08 at 9:21 pm

Oh my lord, SWEET CHUBBULANCE! The face, the nose, the ears, the belleh, and most of all THE FEETS!

And I do believe I see another chubtastic puppeh behind the bowl and this pup….

36 lurkingsmirk 03.18.08 at 9:30 pm

Can you blame him? He had a tiring day of belly rubs and kisses. Puppeh needs some sleep.

37 Janae 03.18.08 at 10:14 pm

Now Miss Annie – if you can write a 300 word essay on why stubbularness should be a rule, using active rules and previous submissions (properly footnoted, natch) I believe I can see you’ll be well on your way to an A.
