Kids, this is where Q-Tip fluff comes from.

by Meg on September 2, 2008

Q-Tip cotton swab fluff is harvested from the tiniest, fluffiest puppehs so that YOUR EARS can stay clean, wax-free and well, attractive.

If you don’t believe me, just look at the package yourself…

Thanks for the education, Sender-Inner Veera J. and Igor the Japanese Spitz pup.

It’s too much to handle! Such fluffitude…

2 chanpon 09.02.08 at 2:17 pm

Ha! Careful kids – don’t stick him in too far into your ear.

He can, however, replace my pillow any time he likes. He looks just as soft and cushy.

OMFluff!

4 Erebella 09.02.08 at 2:33 pm

Oh yeah, I’ll take a wet willie from that floof over a q-tip anyday. That’s almost as good as a thorough foot licking.

5 (the original) Mel 09.02.08 at 2:39 pm

NAH-AHN! That is NOT REAL! That is a FAKE DOG that is actually MADE of Q-tips.

Oh, the baby possum is back outside my window here at work. Pretty late for it to be out. It’s been showing up after I put out this new birdseed I got. They are awfully cute then they’re little.

9 Sprock 09.02.08 at 2:49 pm

So cute it makes me want to spitz.

10 Theresa 09.02.08 at 3:02 pm

You can’t tell me there isn’t Pudge under that Floof.

11 Mischka 09.02.08 at 3:14 pm

That’s just too cute. You might get cavities. For your safety, I will remove this species *runs away*

12 Janelle 09.02.08 at 3:22 pm

I have a dog who gets fluffy as well (not as incredibly fluffy as that dog, but still). And when she gets fluffy, she looks like she is a little tubby dog, but when we trim her, she actually doesn’t have that much pudge! So I think the floof is deceiving in that sense. :)

13 (the original) Mel 09.02.08 at 3:23 pm

It’s like a “pillowy cloud of mashed potatoes” on legs!

14 Michele 09.02.08 at 3:36 pm

The more you know…

15 Lurker 09.02.08 at 3:36 pm

White face + black nosicle and mouf = Lurker squeeziure

16 MadameX 09.02.08 at 3:49 pm

Oh, he’s beautiful! I know he’s a Japanese Spitz, but he looks just like our Minitaure American Eskimo when she was a puppy – her full name is Her Royal Fluffiness Nina, Princess of Puff’n Paws…

17 THE COOL PET 09.02.08 at 3:49 pm

Fluffilious!!!

WHAT A CUTEY PIE ! Q T ip

awwww….

18 Kit 09.02.08 at 3:53 pm

Looks like someone took that dog, battered him in butter, and dunked him in cotton candy! His fluff is king.

19 Janni 09.02.08 at 4:02 pm

Yay, it’s a Finnish Japanese Spitz! (Judging by the pup’s favourite lit-ritz-er in the backround.)
Cute but oh so serious.

20 athie 09.02.08 at 4:42 pm

What a ridiculous fabulous amount of FLUFFY FLUFF!

21 Kristi 09.02.08 at 5:15 pm

They’re good for applying makeup too!

A spitz? I thought it was a Samoyed…

22 Jacquilynne 09.02.08 at 5:49 pm

Dear sweet mother of god, do not do a google image search on ‘japanese spitz puppy’.

ur brain asplud, i swr!

But check out this pic anyway: http://www.konalaejapanesespitz.com/8W-9.JPG

23 scooterpants 09.02.08 at 5:58 pm

ah, Jac. – cant you just see the vicious owner from your post saying, “NO! You MUST stay outside! You are an Outside dog , a watch dog, not a family pet!”
poor sweet adorable baby.

24 Rooanne 09.02.08 at 7:17 pm

Where it says “just look at the package…” I read “Just look at the puppage”!!!
Puppage is a word, yes?

25 Samantha 09.02.08 at 7:18 pm

I have often complained (to myself) that there are not enough pomeranians on CO.
But this is just as good!

I luff the fluff.

26 Katrina 09.02.08 at 8:30 pm

Does he eat dandelion floof?

27 berthaservant 09.02.08 at 9:30 pm

In keeping with the YF theme (everyone say it with me…)

“It’s pronounced EYE-gor!”

28 Joanna 09.02.08 at 9:56 pm

It looks exactly like an American Eskimo puppy. Therefore, the Japanese have not laid claim to this one. Honestly, I don’t know why they’re considered two different breeds, because there is no one out there that could possibly tell them apart. Look it up yourself.

29 Joanna 09.02.08 at 9:59 pm

Japanese Spitz and American Eskimo are very different from Samoyeds. Samoyeds have a flatter face, stockier and much larger body size, as well as shorter fur length. I think the only difference between Japanese Spitz and American Eskimos are that American Eskimos also come in 2 other sizes (including a toy size) while Japanese Spitz have only one size.

MADAMEX- FABulous name! my weiners are Leopold Von Weinerschnitzel and Fritz Reuben on Rye with Extra Kraut! lol

31 C. 09.03.08 at 2:51 am

So… WHY isn’t having foldy-over ears a Rule of Cuteness already???

HMMMMMM?

32 Subhangi 09.03.08 at 10:31 am

SQUEEEE!!! The second pic — what an adorable fuzzball!

33 DaytimeDeb 09.03.08 at 5:38 pm

Running to check out new package of Qtips… alas, no pomeranian was present.

34 darkshines 09.03.08 at 6:39 pm

Do not put Q tips in your ears, that is NOT what they are for!

35 Katrina 09.03.08 at 8:58 pm

OK, darkshines, I’ll bite, what are they really for?

My Norwegian father had a painting client (honest to everything) use Q-tips to clean the keyholes of her doors. I still remember if 40 years later! I always wondered for what other purposes people use Q-Tips….

36 aurora 09.04.08 at 4:03 pm

i shall never clean my ears again!

37 Katrina 09.04.08 at 5:07 pm

aurora- can you hear me?

38 Patito Gigante 09.04.08 at 5:51 pm

Wow thanks for posting Igor´s pics:) Heh nicely spotted Janni, he truly is from Finland. Igor is very happy about your comments… I only wish he behaved as cute as he looks*__*

42 Topsu 09.11.08 at 11:19 am

No kidding, Veera. Everyone: don’t be fooled by the fluff! He peed on my friend when I visited him just now!

43 Veera 09.11.08 at 1:32 pm

Dammit Topsu! Igor and I know where you live!! ;)
