What an adorable puppersons!

(Oh… bleen?)

2 Bsze 04.30.08 at 2:59 pm

OMG. *Burrows face*

3 yankeebird 04.30.08 at 3:00 pm

By the way, big giant major kudos for the usage of the word ‘coruscations’.

4 Deckard Canine 04.30.08 at 3:00 pm

Puppy, you’re melting!

5 AuntieMame 04.30.08 at 3:04 pm

When does wrinkular become flabular? (Check OUT those washboard abs!)

And this is a “harrumph” face, if I’ve ever seen one.

6 Robin 04.30.08 at 3:06 pm

I think you mean ‘wrinkulousness’. Wrinkulessness would be a lack of wrinkulousness…

7 brinnann 04.30.08 at 3:07 pm

Wouldn’t wrinkulessnessess be an adjective? How is it used in a sentence?

8 cath 04.30.08 at 3:10 pm

Wait… if “wrinkular” is the adjective, then wouldn’t the noun be “wrinkularity”?

Meh… matters not. McPuppersons is so mooshy and full of win…

*dives in for a chest-snorgle*

Does anyone else want to play with his paws???? or is it just me??

11 Wendy 04.30.08 at 3:52 pm

Sure, the belly’s cute.

But, THAT FACE! I just wanna bite THAT FACE!

12 Theresa 04.30.08 at 3:55 pm

AND when does flabbular become chubbular? Or is it just a GRAND CONTINUUM?

13 lurkingsmirk 04.30.08 at 3:58 pm

zomg puppers has 6-pack flabs!

14 Babs 04.30.08 at 4:27 pm

Uh oh, someone has swiped Churchill’s cigar again.

15 rcg 04.30.08 at 4:30 pm

CHUB? CHUB?
Lady, that’s a six-pack thank you very much.

16 Kristine 04.30.08 at 4:30 pm

Holy moly that is my DREAM dog!! I love it. I love everything about this puppy, even its old man disgruntled look…

I wanna give him a belly rub, he looks like he needs it.

I’ve heard of velveteen rabbits, but I’ve never seen a velvet bulldog. Makes mah fangers itch to touch that li’l girl! Oh, and Hon Glad? TOO WONDERFUL a quote! I’ll bet that would make the immortal Sir Winston chortle with glee!

19 Karen in Toronto 04.30.08 at 4:48 pm

Hon Glad, my thoughts exactly: “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.”

20 Cait Reynolds 04.30.08 at 4:51 pm

Woot!!! I’m so excited that my vocab submishy made it!!!!!!

This is totally my thrill of the day :-)

Cait R.

P.S. I have a pup who has an extremely wrinkular forehead at all times, as he is a Basenji. He also makes a “barrroooo” yodel instead of barking. How’s that for cute?

P.P.S. I love the word coruscations *grin*

21 Chloe 04.30.08 at 4:51 pm

Mebbe those is abz.

22 Paunchie 04.30.08 at 4:52 pm

wrinkularity of the nose folds! And her name is Rosey?? I agree she looks more like a Churchill. Maybe Churchill had a prosh nick name??

23 zeldapie 04.30.08 at 4:52 pm

Furrowed brow + smidgens of peenk = CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!

OMG!! Check this one out, too: http://www.flickr.com/photos/joshjanicek/sets/72157600524291017/

It’s a photo of a cat who suffered severe skin damage from a Hartz flea and tick.

Please, Cute Overload, stop serving Hartz ads. You’re knowingly promoting a company that sells poison that kills cats and dogs.

26 Paunchie 04.30.08 at 5:24 pm

wow Josh way to harsh our wrinkular party…

27 Confused 04.30.08 at 5:30 pm

What’s that metal ring looking thing sticking out the right side of Rosey’s face/neck? Anyone?

28 chanpon 04.30.08 at 5:35 pm

Cute but disapproving pup’s wrinkular strangely looks like a flabby six pack. He’s a paragon of juxtapositions. Something about his face makes me want to smoosh him with kisses.

29 ZoomsMom 04.30.08 at 5:58 pm

Love the pup & the table! I have the same furniture from Pottery Barn. Heads up though-Kittens with claws do not mix well with expensive furniture. Kittens are forgiven of course! They are just way too cute!

30 Micki 04.30.08 at 6:25 pm

Hey Josh, Cool it.

I seriously doubt that Meg knew about the hartz thing, webmasters rarely have total control over their advertising. remember that asian bride thing? Would you have posted a picture of an abused woman and attacked Meg over that?

so how about you ask nicely next time, instead of posting horrible sad pictures and accusing Meg.

Seriously, a little courtesy goes a long way.

anerable Bully btw.
I love it when they look like Churchill!!!

31 marie 04.30.08 at 6:41 pm

mr. churchill is sitting on the area rug so as to not bruise his delicate behind on the hardwood floors.

lovings his groucho marx moustache. <3

32 Josh 04.30.08 at 6:42 pm

@Micki – I have contacted Meg. And others have contacted Meg. All attempts have fallen onto deaf ears. You can read more here: http://www.hartzvictims.org/2008/04/30/cute-overload-serving-hartz-ads/

And btw, I won’t cool it. Raising awareness about the dangers of Hartz products is something that I’m extremely passionate about.

33 AuntieMame 04.30.08 at 6:43 pm

Confused, it’s the loop on the collar where you hook the leash. I’m guessing pupular hasn’t growed into her collar yet, so it looks outsized. :)

34 cosmiquemuffin 04.30.08 at 6:43 pm

Josh — gross, could you have sent Meg private email instead of harshing the Qte? This is the kind of thing that makes people hate groups like PeTA.

On a happier note…
Now my coworkers think I am NUTZ as I stroke my computer as I attempt to feel the softiness of the 6-chub-pak…. ahhhhngh.

35 M. V. 04.30.08 at 6:45 pm

Winston Churchill! WINSTON CHURCHILL, PEOPLE! Oh. Sorry, Hon Glad. :)

36 kittymom 04.30.08 at 6:49 pm

Yikes!!!!! Vote, people vote!!

37 Katie Kat 04.30.08 at 7:06 pm

ACH! Mine Got in Himmel! (Okay, that’s phonetic German for OMFG!)

Cuteness explosion in the form of wrinkles!

38 Micki 04.30.08 at 7:09 pm

Okay, Josh you have a point, but I stand by the comment that Meg has very little choice over her advertisers, she prob signs up for a service, checks the ‘pet’ interest box and voila! adverts! I mean without the Adverts there would be no C.O., so I doubt there is much she could do.

also you should consider that she has been very busy lately, tons of interviews and she has a very busy job, separate from C.O.

I agree your cause is a good one, but your methods got Erin banned, and a little Courtesy would probably serve your cause better than being rude, cosmiquemuffin made a good point, this is the kind of thing that makes people hate peta.

Understand that Meg and the rest of us are people too.

your enemy is hartz, not us.

39 Trisha 04.30.08 at 7:12 pm

40 figgylicious 04.30.08 at 7:52 pm

OK, is it just me or does he look EXACTLY like Don Rickles?

http://www.stevefriess.com/podcast/don_rickles_frame.jpg

I knew he looked like SOMEONE.

41 binky-mama 04.30.08 at 7:56 pm

Josh- as a veterinary nurse who has seen many cases of toxicity due to over the counter flea products such as Hartz, I understand your frustration over seeing this ad, especially since pet lovers frequent this site. I try to educate as many clients as I can, but here on this forum people come to “oooh and ahhhh” and may not appreciate graphic pictures (regardless of their educational importance). I appreciate your passion- keep up the fight but with Hartz not CO.

42 jmuhj 04.30.08 at 8:10 pm

Yep, itz abaot az (knot)qte az that gaii. An problii abaot az (knot) smart.

I didn’t know 6-pacs can be this Kyooot! Awww, miss puppily Rosey, can I lick lick your nosey? Don’t be so disapproval, missey-puppisey Rosey. It’s perfectly cool for a girlsey to have 6-pacs. Hooray for you!!!

44 debg 04.30.08 at 8:25 pm

If only my fat rolls looked this cute!

45 momof2kitties 04.30.08 at 8:30 pm

@debg:

My thoughts exactly! Some of us are “panda-bear shaped”, as BerthaS so astutely pointed out a while back. But, somehow, it’s so much cuter on Mlle. Rosey here, than it is on me.

46 mom2twinzz 04.30.08 at 8:48 pm

I love the poutiness of his face.

Most adorable six-pack EVAH! {swoons}

49 sunnymum 04.30.08 at 10:26 pm

Personally I’m glad Josh posted what he did. I don’t think he was being harsh. And this is the perfect kind of site to make animal lovers aware of dangerous pet products, esp. ones that are advertised on the site. Me thinks everyone should chill a bit. Can’t we ooh and aah and be made aware of things at the same time?

50 Aoife 04.30.08 at 10:30 pm

Six pack abs!

51 Micki 04.30.08 at 10:34 pm

@ sunnymum

oh, I agree that OTC tick products are super dangerous, it was the posting icky photos and attacking Meg I was objecting too.

I’m all for getting informed, but I know, its teh interweb so this is a vain hope, can’t a point be made politely?

thats all.

I didn’t want to cause a commentversy.

52 Jessica 04.30.08 at 11:10 pm

Concerned animal lovers HAVE written polite messages to Meg, and Meg hasn’t responded.

Certainly, Meg probably didn’t know of the dangers associated with Hartz flea and tick products when she accepted $$$ to promote them.

But now that she DOES know, she has an obligation to her animal-loving community. In my opinion, the one and only right thing to do is to stop running the ads. But at the VERY least, she should address those of us who have expressed opposition.

That is why people are posting comments.

Those of you with pets should feel grateful for people like Josh and Erin, who aren’t content to “cool it” when the lives of animals are at stake.

53 Juniper Jupiter 04.30.08 at 11:37 pm

Six-pack abs? Loox like he DRANK a six-pack!!!

***ducks and runs***

59 SSSsss 05.01.08 at 2:54 am

Is that a baby bulldog? Bulldogs are the most disagreeable breed I have ever come across. They’re so mean.

60 Zach 05.01.08 at 3:50 am

“Is that a baby bulldog? Bulldogs are the most disagreeable breed I have ever come across. They’re so mean.”

When in the world have you ever met a mean bulldog?? Unless they have some seriously abusive owners, bullies hardly have the ENERGY to be mean. They mostly just lay around.

61 I. Lee 05.01.08 at 3:57 am

Something about him/her reminds me of my cousin BreAnna. She looks like a BreAnna to me.

62 Micki 05.01.08 at 3:58 am

I saw a bulldog in the park today, looked like a grown-up version of this cutie!

63 Maria 05.01.08 at 6:21 am

I want a bulldog so bad!!!! They are just sooooooo cute!!!!!

“Wrinkular”!!! Meg, you KEEL me (especially with pronounciation help from the Prez)!!!!!!!!

In the spirit of non-partisanship, I believe Jimmy Carter also pronounced it “nukular”. Oh well, nobody’s perfect!!

66 kasia 05.01.08 at 9:56 am

that look of disapproval, ahn!

giving the rabbits a run for their money, i’d say!

67 SMC 05.01.08 at 10:19 am

That is a regular six-pack.

68 Abby_P 05.01.08 at 11:25 am

Not to correct you, …well yes, actually, to correct you; the pronunciation nuCUlar was _NOT_ made famous by President Bush. It was originally made famous by President Eisenhower. Presidents Carter and Clinton made it a common pronunciation after him.

69 Karen 05.01.08 at 12:15 pm

Oh, c’mon. That’s not wrinkulousnessess–those are washboard abs, baby! Check out the six-pack on that pup!

70 anner 05.01.08 at 1:08 pm

shouldn’t it be “wrinkulousness” or “wrinkulusness?”

“wrinkulessness” sounds like the absence of wrinkularity.

71 Jackie 05.01.08 at 1:42 pm

His face says

“Yeah I got pretty nails. Your point?”

Hehe. Kewt puppeh! Me take now, k?

72 Theresa 05.01.08 at 2:42 pm

Anner, I’m with you on that one (adjusts librarian-grammar geek specs on nose).

73 Sarah 05.01.08 at 2:44 pm

I want to press those puppeh paws up to my face and squeal.

74 SSSsss 05.01.08 at 3:31 pm

“When in the world have you ever met a mean bulldog?? Unless they have some seriously abusive owners, bullies hardly have the ENERGY to be mean. They mostly just lay around.”

I work at a pet hotel. Yes, they mostly just lay around; but more than one bulldog staying with us either has bitten or has tried to bite or is simply unpredictable/bad tempered. I have seen it myself.

75 tank 05.01.08 at 3:47 pm

this is a really cute dog…and I have NEVER met a mean bulldog…just because it looks like they smashed in their cute little pugged faces doesnt make them any meaner than a Boston or a…uh…Pug…heh

76 CaroL 05.01.08 at 3:48 pm

Wrink-donk!

77 Zach 05.01.08 at 5:20 pm

SSss, if what you say is true, then it’s more due to bad owners. Bullies are rarely just mean on their own. Those I’ve met are more along the lines of “hilariously friendly”.

78 Lilly 05.01.08 at 8:02 pm

Zach, Hurley is adorable!

79 CaroL 05.01.08 at 8:31 pm

Wrinkulocity!

80 Lara 05.01.08 at 9:37 pm

Any book or website you’ll find about dog breeds will list bulldogs as generally sweetly-tempered dogs that are good with children. I agree that mean ones would much more likely be genetic anomalies or the result of bad owners.

Also, even the dogs with the “mean” reputations can generally be sweet when raised well. I’ve met a lot of really affectionate rottweilers and dobermans.

81 Gail 05.02.08 at 11:59 am

How about “wrinkuluscious”??

82 Claudia 05.03.08 at 1:28 am

so sweet and the other pict in the flickr stream(yawning) should be shown as well, so Ficken CUTE!
