It feels like a 100 MILLION degrees out

by Meg on June 25, 2008

[Pup dunks head completely underwater, then spouts water upward like a Golden Retriever fountain]

Aaaaah!

Pbbbbbbffft! Pbbbbbbffft!

Dunkin' Dognuts joke here

Glad you and Cessna could cool off a bit, Hil L.

Guess we know what’s on his Bucket List.

9 TracyFlick 06.25.08 at 12:57 pm

Beautiful dog. They’re like little balls of sunshine, golden retrievers. No?

10 CR 06.25.08 at 1:17 pm

Awww.
Goldies are the ultimate dancing rays of sunshine and sweetness. I have two (mother and daughter) and we’ve had four litters. They’re all the best!

11 DKN 06.25.08 at 1:20 pm

Thanks Theo!! :)

12 whiskers 06.25.08 at 1:30 pm

well…they are water dogs…

13 ThreeCatNight 06.25.08 at 1:38 pm

Golden One, come to my house, where you may keep cool in a large bathtub worthy of your size. (and besides, I’m a sucker for Goldens, and you could keep the delinquent cats in line!):)

14 cowdoctor 06.25.08 at 2:00 pm

i’m gone one day and the format changes compleately?????

what’s this yahoo reader thing????

used to be able to click on the pics and see or comment or just enjoy *sigh* my luck i suppose

15 Shadyman 06.25.08 at 2:00 pm

Dunkin Do’nuts!
The apostrophe is for the ‘g’.

16 Subhangi 06.25.08 at 2:01 pm

SQUEEEEEEEE!!! Pups in bukkits?

I WUV goldies.

17 morgat 06.25.08 at 2:13 pm

I assume his name is Cessna becuz he’s usually flyin’??? Lof eet!

That bukkit looks soooooo nice and cool, but he does need somefin bigger. How can you splash everybody, and get your whole self wet so you can shake all over everything when you get out, in a teeny tiny bukkit?

18 tank 06.25.08 at 2:19 pm

yahoo reader? dude you have something installed on your pc, the format hasn’t changed.

[CowDoctor -- I think Tank might be right... - Ed.]

19 Melissa 06.25.08 at 2:19 pm

I heard there was a kegger here, bra! Where’s the cerveza?

20 Lisa 06.25.08 at 2:30 pm

Don’t Goldens have the sweetest faces in all of dogdom?

21 HonorH 06.25.08 at 2:32 pm

He’s like, “What?” A golden and any amount of water are as magnets to each other–they will come together. I want to stroke his fluffulent ears.

22 cheesybird 06.25.08 at 2:36 pm

Move over, pup! I’m joinin’ ya in there! *gives puppeh big wet hug*

23 sheepy 06.25.08 at 2:39 pm

I love how pleased s/he looks about being perfectly bukkit-sized.

this is exactly what i needed to see this rough morning.

24 Juniper Jupiter 06.25.08 at 2:44 pm

No, subhangi!

Pups in PAILS!! :D

25 hon glad 06.25.08 at 2:48 pm

Cool cojones

26 R 06.25.08 at 3:12 pm

“What? You where going to drink out of this? Rlly?”

27 pups'nstuff 06.25.08 at 3:21 pm

I fully support pups in buckets.

28 Theo 06.25.08 at 4:41 pm

Melissa — wow, now THERE’S a doozy of a mental image.

“Kegger Bra”

29 Katrina 06.25.08 at 4:56 pm

He (she) looks like the dog in the Jay Bush’s baked/grilled beans commercial-or do they all look like this?

BY the way, how does on ‘grill’ a bean?

Beautiful puppeh doggett!

30 Katherine 06.25.08 at 5:54 pm

ZOMG DOGGIE.
Must… resist… buying… puppy…

31 charliewabba 06.25.08 at 5:54 pm

Yes, they all look like this, but usually they are grinning.
Kisses for the Golden from the tip of the nose up to the spot between the beautiful eyes, and back down the nose again.
Oh, how I miss my Molly, even after 10 years.

32 Decca 06.25.08 at 6:11 pm

I love bobbing for puppies!

33 tub 06.25.08 at 6:13 pm

wah! i wanna wrap my arms around the doggie’s neck and give him/her a big hug, so qte! goldens are such sweethearts, mine was (sniff) the ultimate blonde airhead but had the sweetest, gentlest disposition

34 Juniper Jupiter 06.25.08 at 6:55 pm

Wait a minute…is that a CIGARETTE BUTT IN THE BACKGROUND!!!??? SOMEBODY PICK THAT UP!!! Pup could choke on that!

GRRRRRrrr…I hate it when people leave their butts on the ground….GROSS!!!

My best pal carries a ButtCrusher!! Use one of them until you get to a trash can!

35 Theresa 06.25.08 at 7:37 pm

Re the Kegger Bra, there was a recent Heinekin commersh that reminded me of that very concept, and thoroughly creeped me out. Sort of a “Metropolis”-style female beer-dispensing cyborg. Eek.

Yes, I know, there are a lot of guys reading this and saying, “What? Something wrong with that?”

36 Theo 06.25.08 at 7:43 pm

Theresa — the fam’ and I saw that commercial and agree. Art Deco Disaster.

37 Karen 06.25.08 at 7:54 pm

AWWW! What a cutie!

38 momof2kitties 06.25.08 at 8:05 pm

I hate that Heineken commershe, too.

But Mr. Wetty McWettersons here can come over for a beer anytime he wants!

39 Kitteh 06.25.08 at 8:05 pm

I’m not seeing the cigarette butt, Juniper, all i see is plant matter and a puppy in a bucket.

a golden puppeh at that. aww i gotta go snuggle Jack and Minya now. Yep. my aunts golden is named after baby godzilla. go figure.

40 Marie 06.25.08 at 9:01 pm

I’m not kidding how in love I am with this dog! I can’t stop swooning over this precious face. And I can’t believe Cessna is digging the pail pool!

Clearly, some of the best parents ever! Thank you so much for sharing this -and keeping your baby cool in this heat. :D

41 AuntieMame 06.25.08 at 9:12 pm

This must be one of the zinc tubs my mother always claimed to have bathed in when she was a kid.

I wonder if the tub was full when Cessna got in or if she sat in it and waited until they caved in and filled it for her.

42 Melissa 06.25.08 at 9:13 pm

“Bra” in the sense of “brother,” as slurred by countless inebriated frat boys nationwide:

43 Theo 06.25.08 at 9:15 pm

Oh I know, Melissa. My mind’s eye will not be denied, though.

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!

44 Melissa 06.25.08 at 9:21 pm

Drat those mind’s eyes, Theo; they can be insatiable. Very well, then, carry on with your kegger bras, if you must. (Sigh.)

I do like your alternative spelling, with the H. Very Bavarian.

45 Theo 06.25.08 at 9:24 pm

Hamburg by way of Liverpool, to be precise.
;)

46 abad 06.25.08 at 9:24 pm

That looks so refreshing, I’d join him if I could fit in that bucket with him

47 Theresa 06.25.08 at 10:18 pm

@Melissa, but it’s those VERY frat boys who would be most interested in a kegger bra, n’est-ce pas?

48 berthaservant 06.25.08 at 10:23 pm

:: auditioning ::

“Okay, Cessna, you’ll be playing the part of Elaine, the Lady of the Lake, and when Arthur comes by on his horse, you POP out of the lake and hand him Excalibur? Ready? No, you have to go all the way under the water, and then just POP OUT and say your line, ‘I bring you, Arthur, Excalibur, with which you will rule the Britains.’ No, say ‘The Britains.’ Because that’s what’s in the script! So, let’s rehearse….one, two…no, of COURSE the lake on stage will be bigger, we’re just practicing the line….”

49 Theresa 06.25.08 at 10:26 pm

@Morgat, it’s Big Doggie Syndrome. Some Big Doggies don’t seem to apprehend their actual body dimensions. They seem to think they’re the same size as they were when puppies. This is how you get a lot of small children getting run over, and Great Dans trying to cram themselves in your lap.

50 Theresa 06.25.08 at 10:29 pm

Berthaservant, I hate to correct you, but Elaine is the Lily Maid of Astolat. The Lady of the Lake is named Nimue (according to Mallory) or Vivien (according to Tennyson).

The Lady of Shalott is something else altogether.

51 Theo 06.25.08 at 10:38 pm

Oh, you REALLY hated to do that, didn’t you?

52 Theresa 06.25.08 at 10:51 pm

Well, yeah, because it’s BerthaServant, my motives are a little different. I really don’t want him to feel bad. And I’m old now, so I don’t really have that “Oh boy, let me nail this guy on the net!!!” young smartass thing. anymore. But I am STILL a geek of sorts -of many sorts, in fact. So . . .

53 berthaservant 06.26.08 at 1:45 am

Theresa, you are ABSOLUTELY right.

But the DIRECTOR of the show who is directing Cessna doesn’t know that. His medieval education begins with “Holy Grail,” detours through “Excalibur” and ends with “Spamalot.”

So, you see, there’s another layer of parody/satire there, just the kind of depth and nuance that I think is appropriate to provoke discussion in the world of Cute Overload.

Thank you for playing along.

(actually, I didn’t know that, but this is a better answer)

54 Theresa 06.26.08 at 2:22 am

Oooh which director is it??? Is it a famous one??? Is it perchance the auteur of “The Tycoon and the Sled”? Or the genius behind “He Made Her Get on the Plane”? Or “The Quaker Wife Shoots the Bad Guy”???

Huh? Huh? Huh? ;)

55 claudia 06.26.08 at 2:25 am

Move over doggie! I’m coming in!

56 berthaservant 06.26.08 at 4:03 am

Theresa — no, the director I refer to is better known as Alan Smithee.

I like your titles, though, it’s like they are titles of 1911 Edwin S. Porter one-reelers.

57 hon glad 06.26.08 at 5:44 am

Oh Theresa
What will please yer
Berthas had a siezure
trying to get it right.

58 Hil L 06.26.08 at 7:30 am

YAY! This is my puppppppy!

SHE is ridonk cute and I couldn’t believe I was lucky enough to have my phone on me for this pic.

Also, there are absolutely no cigs in this pic… just plants. Smoking is gross.

I am the luckiest girl alive because if you think Cessna’s cute, check out her auntie Speedo (vintage pic from 2004):

and them together recently:

Loves of my life.

59 J. Bo 06.26.08 at 10:24 am

I do so love a soggy doggy…

“Soggy Doggy”– sounds like the name of a chic new cocktail. Recipes, anyone?

60 NutherDeb 06.26.08 at 11:45 am

CowDoc: Yahoo is doing the link different for me, too. Instead of the regular link, it has a magnifying glass and opens up the picture in Yahoo Reader. It used to just take me straight to the CO website. This just started a couple of days ago…

61 Kris 06.26.08 at 11:57 am

Hil – they are both BEAUTIFUL!!!!

62 Babs 06.26.08 at 1:10 pm

Outta my way, pup – it’s 82 Furrenheit in my house (omg I hate this lemon of an A/C unit) and I’m roastin’.

BerthaVassal, Smithee is my fave director! (And to join Theresa in correcting-while-not-intending-to-harm, it’s “Britons”.) I don’t think Cessna’s gonna get the part, tho.

63 Chastity 06.26.08 at 2:15 pm

Get him a bigger pool, it might be too hard to do the doggie paddle in that one !!!
:+)

64 Hil L 06.26.08 at 3:25 pm

Also, they normally have a big pool to swim around in… but it’s being remodeled so we had to improvise in the heat. :-)

65 ariel 06.26.08 at 6:15 pm

I’m in a buck-et~! I’m in a buck-et~! DON’T YOU DARE TAKE MY BUCKET AWAY FROM ME!

66 Marie 06.26.08 at 9:59 pm

Thanks Hil L! You are the luckiest girl on the planet with those two. Please send photos in ANYtime. :D

67 brenda 06.28.08 at 6:29 pm

A-DOOR-A-BULL!

68 Lerrinus 06.28.08 at 10:38 pm

J. Bo: a soggy-doggy is the cocktail you need the morning after a wild Saturday night!

Great pic!
