Dumpling, Honey, did you warm up for the game?

Yes, I mean, did you do your stretches?

OK, good. ‘Cause we’re playing the Underhills at the club today, and if we lose, we have to pay their club fees for a month, Darling! And you know Daddy wouldn’t like that.

OMgoodness what a little fluff ball! Does anyone know what kinda pup?

3 Sandwich 06.10.08 at 5:19 pm

Jmper – Maybe a Japanese spitz puppy or a pom.

4 Kar 06.10.08 at 5:21 pm

Is it really nice to play tennis using a tribble as a ball?

5 paranoiagirl 06.10.08 at 5:22 pm

SQUEEE! ::steals pup and tiny jacket::

@Jmper-The flickr tags said Japanese spitz, so yes.

6 nittanysam 06.10.08 at 5:25 pm

It’s an Eskie! (american eskimo dog) This is the same kind of doggie that was all spread out as a skorge rug months ago. I have one at home, and they only get more prosh as they bigger!

They do look like poms when they are younger, though

7 cheesybird 06.10.08 at 5:29 pm

Awwwwwwwww… this gives whole new meaning to 30 love. (Or should that be 30 wuv?)

8 Jmper 06.10.08 at 5:30 pm

Yeah I saw the flicker tag after I posted (old computer shows me what it wants me to see…grr) I was thinking American Eskimo but Japanese Spitz works too.

9 cheesybird 06.10.08 at 5:35 pm

AAaaiiieeeee!!! Did you see this fluffball’s tennis partner? :D

Outstanding Fletch reference, Meg.

11 paranoiagirl 06.10.08 at 5:41 pm

cheesybird, are you sure that isn’t a photoshopped tennis ball?

KIDDING :D

12 Jorden 06.10.08 at 5:42 pm

Very cute-much cuter without the jacket.

13 Jimbeaux 06.10.08 at 5:43 pm

Oooooh! So floofy!
Normally not a tennis fan, but I’d certainly watch for this li’l player and cheer, so long as there was victory snorgling at the end!

14 Rooanne 06.10.08 at 5:49 pm

LOL!! “be the ball”
That is one floofy tennis ball.

15 ceejoe 06.10.08 at 5:51 pm

16 steppy 06.10.08 at 5:53 pm

While I’m down here wonder if anyone would notice a quick nap? Snorgle to follow ! ! !

17 TW 06.10.08 at 5:58 pm

Dumpling: I didn’t know you knew the Underhills.
Fletch: Yeah, well, I saved his life during the war.
Dumpling: You were in the war?
Fletch: No, he was. I got him out.

18 Lurker 06.10.08 at 5:59 pm

Sugarcloud!

19 cheesybird 06.10.08 at 6:01 pm

LOL@ Paranoiagirl!

Maybe the ball’s real, but someone ’shopped a lab around it.

20 Babs 06.10.08 at 6:14 pm

What a gorgeous ball of floof! Is that Ruffael Nadal?

21 Decca 06.10.08 at 6:14 pm

Advantage, fluffball.

22 Shannon 06.10.08 at 6:15 pm

I love the classic head tilt in the first pic. It seems to come installed on every breed….

23 Shannon 06.10.08 at 6:20 pm

Man those flickr photos could be their own cute pup website. Danger Will Robinson!

24 Fegli 06.10.08 at 6:22 pm

Good thing we’re not playing football… ’cause I’da pounced this little guy ages ago! <3

25 ThreeCatNight 06.10.08 at 6:35 pm

Need a partner, Dumpling?
I’m all yours!

26 The Other One Michelle 06.10.08 at 7:22 pm

That is the cutest doggie hoodie I have ever, ever seen. Want to bury my face in puppy fur right now!

27 Theo 06.10.08 at 7:47 pm

So I’m *slightly* evil.
[snicker!]

28 Adelaide 06.10.08 at 7:57 pm

EEEEEEEPPPPP!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE that second shot. Its so cute I could puke a rainbow :D

29 The Other One Michelle 06.10.08 at 8:08 pm

Teho, HA! Cruel! You are encouraging people to use their cute puppies as tennis balls. I insist you remove link immediately!

30 The Other One Michelle 06.10.08 at 8:14 pm

Does anyone still have the link for the puking rainbows? I need it today. Thanks!

31 260Oakley 06.10.08 at 8:38 pm

Theo, thank you for taking that serve. It’s been quite some time since I did a spit-take with my mouth full of Diet Coke… and my computer monitor did need a good wash.

32 Theresa 06.10.08 at 8:49 pm

American Eskies have super-beepable noses, in addtion to all their bright-eyed, floofy virtues. ;)

33 berthaservant 06.10.08 at 8:52 pm

Other possible doggeh names:

Squeenus Williams
Andre Agasquee
John McEnfro
Roger Flufferrer
Lleyton Cu-it

34 Meers 06.10.08 at 9:03 pm

Sweet impersonashuns…puppeh doubles as a baby harp seal in the last photo!

35 Theo 06.10.08 at 9:42 pm

B-Serv: old skool!

Mats Weimaranar
Bjorn Dorg
Boris Barker
Basen Ji King (OK, it’s a stretch)
Martina Newfietilover
Jimmy “The Beagle” Connors (…couldn’t think of one. Sue me.)

36 Aaron 06.10.08 at 10:52 pm

Eskies are so cute :) that’s why I have one at home :)

37 Annie 06.10.08 at 11:21 pm

so if you turn the pup into the tennis ball does he also wear down peeps teeth to nubs if we nom the puppy?

38 chanpon 06.10.08 at 11:31 pm

Dumpling has a cooler outfit for hitting the tennis courts than I do. *jealous*

Does she remind anyone else of a Hostess Snoball (not the pink ones of course)? I’m sure she’s just as nommable.

39 Theresa 06.10.08 at 11:54 pm

“Martina Newfietilover”

[headdesk]

40 Theresa 06.10.08 at 11:57 pm

Theo, I just saw that website contains the phrase “Fans of puking rainbows.”

[headdesk again]

41 Raemie L. 06.11.08 at 1:49 am

I call fault! That serve comes with teh Qte pup-spin. Is that legal?!

42 scooterpants 06.11.08 at 2:31 am

i don’t need to see the puking rainbows (since i LIVE it very day, “hmmmppfff”- ..insert stars and flowers and _hit spinning around here..) but i DO need to know where that cutie light blue and grey lil warm up suit comes from since SB needs ones for her wardrobe. pleeze do tell.

43 penny 06.11.08 at 2:38 am

Definitely an Eskie! I have one at home too, and she looked just like that when she was a little puppy. Now my eskie is almost 5 months old, but still the cutest fluff ball ever. I just love her, and I think eskies are all so very cute, even when they are all grown up. They have such foxy face and plush fur.

44 Gail 06.11.08 at 3:20 am

“Aw, are you SURE this is how Venus Williams got started??!!??”

45 Subhangi 06.11.08 at 5:33 am

SQUEEEEEEEE!!! I love the last pic!!!

And Dumpling – what a perfect name!

46 slythwolf 06.11.08 at 5:44 am

Surely that last is a picture of an actual dumpling?

47 Gillie 06.11.08 at 5:54 am

Head. Splody.

TMCTH (Too much cute to handle)

48 hon glad 06.11.08 at 6:04 am

Plenty of BEF.

49 Alexis 06.11.08 at 6:10 am

I read the title as “Dumping on the tennis court” so I was quite relieved, really.

50 Theo 06.11.08 at 11:53 am

Alexis — I’m glad I’m not your court. ;P

51 staticgirl 06.11.08 at 2:17 pm

*WANT*

52 January 06.11.08 at 3:36 pm

Did you say dumping on the tennis court!!!!

53 nittanysam 06.11.08 at 5:40 pm

Truth, Penny. Our eskie, Jack-Jack, is almost 7 months now and is still the most adorable doggie evah! When we take him over to my parents house for a romp, he prances around the grass. It is, without a doubt, the cutest thing I have ever seen. Currently it is double-cute as he is wearing a fashionable cone (he was nibbling at his stitches).

54 Annie 06.11.08 at 6:13 pm

Oh Dumpling I love you you cute little pup because you look so much like a pomeranian. (My favorite dogs to look at ever)

55 berthaservant 06.11.08 at 6:53 pm

THEO!!!!

I can’t believe we forgot the most obvious (particularly because she has a commercial running now where she takes pics of a cute dog!):

MARIA SHAR-PEI-POVA

56 Theo 06.11.08 at 6:59 pm

Didn’t think it was fair to call her a dog.
;)

57 marisol28 06.11.08 at 7:37 pm

Perfect preppy talk. OMG Muffy!

58 greytgreys 06.12.08 at 12:33 am

what a kah-YUTE little puppy!!!

59 Everbound Venvel 06.12.08 at 4:08 pm

Sammy puppy, perrrrhaps? :o
So adorable! Looks like a hybrid of puppy and baby seal!

60 katelyn 06.12.08 at 5:49 pm

I want a puppy!! I just LOVE puppy hoodies (: I don’t usually dress my dog up, but with a hoodie, I would!
