Pup Confessional

by Meg on October 5, 2008

[Pup speaking to audience] Listen, this kid has GOT to go.

I’ve been babysitting for hours and he still can’t fetch or ANYTHING.

He’s obviously… [holds up paw in whispering motion] perfectly useless.

Sender-Inner Tom, I think you might wanna heed this advice or teach the baby to fetch—one or the other…

Hello, my name is Rags, and I am an alcoholic…

([A DINGA DING DANG A DANG-A-LONG LING LONG] comment ever!)

brilliant. i totally believe that’s what those earnest eyes are saying.

and it’s perfect for CO because even though there is the dreaded baby present, he is seen as ‘less than’, thus placating all those who hate people in pictures.

plus, doggie does have a point.

3 Holy Cuteness 10.05.08 at 12:43 pm

Hehe, great… No more babysitting please…

4 chanpon 10.05.08 at 12:49 pm

I look that way after being alone with babies or toddlers for hours too.

5 momof2kitties 10.05.08 at 1:02 pm

Ooh, wait till Teho wakes up and sees what Paul did up there!

*points overhead*

6 Jessica 10.05.08 at 1:27 pm

Awwww, the doggie looks so concerned/worried. He needs a hug and some bacon.

7 warrior rabbit 10.05.08 at 1:34 pm

Frazzled dog is frazzled.

8 Theo 10.05.08 at 1:42 pm

Mornin’, Mom2K.

9 AmyJ 10.05.08 at 1:55 pm

Haven’t babysat in years but that’s about the way I remember it too!

10 DaytimeDeb 10.05.08 at 2:19 pm

Mom and Dad promised they would take care of the baby all by themselves. They swore they would feed it every day, and clean up after it.

Did they keep their word? Nooo. I have to watch it. And they don’t even appreciate it when I give the baby a bath. And they don’t even yell at him when he makes noise, like they used to yell at me when I barked all day.

Geesh. I should NEVER have let them keep it when they first brought him home!

11 Becky 10.05.08 at 2:19 pm

Love the look in the dogs eyes. Too cute.

The kid is cuter though.

12 BarbaraL 10.05.08 at 2:21 pm

ok I want a lab. Must have a lab. Need lab now.

13 nads 10.05.08 at 2:30 pm

Too right, Mr.Lab. Too right.

14 Karen in Toronto 10.05.08 at 2:32 pm

I posted on LOLgoggies with just this kind of item but I dint tell anyone so no one voted for it but it’s dang cute if I say so myself.

This Puppeh can ask my kitteh Polly, it gets even LESS fun when they can start to move around on their own.

17 Kats 10.05.08 at 2:36 pm

I love the expression! Such haplessness…such expressive eyes.

18 Myrtle Mae 10.05.08 at 2:51 pm

Poochie has his Serious Face on. And I love him for it. Babies are way overrated! =)

19 (the original) Mel 10.05.08 at 3:02 pm

The eyes say: Halp. Halp.

What did Paul do? All’s I know is that I have an uncontrollable urge to listen to Ministry now. And on a Sunday morning too. Shameful.

20 Gail (the first one) 10.05.08 at 3:15 pm

This is my Nicky’s expression when I remind him to “take care of the kids (cats)” as I leave to go to work!! He looks a lot this Lab cutie, too!!

21 RJ 10.05.08 at 5:00 pm

The dog is thinking, “babysitting all day again, or being cruelly beaten with an extension cord. I’ll take the cord. I’LL TAKE THE CORD.”

Poor lad. He just needs some nummies and ear scritches.

22 Transpogue 10.05.08 at 5:06 pm

That is one clean house considering the baby and the pup.

Poor pup…Having to live with a baby…we feel your pain.

23 becca 10.05.08 at 5:34 pm

Holy crap, (to)M, Ministry references are fairly close to the last thing I expect to see on cuteoverload, haha.

24 Gwenny 10.05.08 at 5:49 pm

Outstanding! Pooch is all “help” and stuff! LOL!

25 (the original) Mel 10.05.08 at 5:51 pm

@becca: Me too, but apparently Teho edited a comment using some well known Ministry lyrics.

26 cheesybird 10.05.08 at 6:15 pm

Poor pupster. I’m right there wit’ ya. I hope the kid’s parents are paying you well for your services. Those primate whelps can wear you down, can’t they, puppeh?

27 berthaservant 10.05.08 at 6:17 pm

I LOVE that Pup’s expression. And once again, Meg has captured the moment perfectly!

28 gryt 10.05.08 at 6:26 pm

Puppy needs a hug.

29 Shaz 10.05.08 at 7:08 pm

Ohhhhh the expression, anxious, bemused, unamused, a bit bored, all at the same time!

30 binky-mama 10.05.08 at 7:17 pm

“Halp meh!!!

Dewds, it’s not even HOUSEBROKEN”

*rolls big beautiful brown lab eyes*

31 monica 10.05.08 at 7:27 pm

32 Theo 10.05.08 at 7:51 pm

Becca & Mel — Jerry Lee Lewis *is* the Devil.

33 Yitzysmommie 10.05.08 at 8:00 pm

LOVE the poor pupper’s look and that is SO what he’s thinkin’.
My poor Yitzy cat has learned about crawling babies. He’s even warier of our beloved Lukie since L became mobile!

34 Tori 10.05.08 at 8:42 pm

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a post where the description fits the photo so perfectly. well done!

36 eikoleigh 10.05.08 at 10:00 pm

The caption sums it all up. LOL. Awesome.

37 Martha in Washington 10.05.08 at 10:36 pm

My Jewel got that same look when we brought home the cat. “What?! It’s going to LIVE HERE?!”

(And this pup looks like Jewel looked about 5 years ago before all the gray.)

38 Doxylover79 10.06.08 at 1:21 am

This is so right on the mark. I have a dachshund that looks the same way at my 9 month old grandson. LOL

39 Gail (the first one) 10.06.08 at 1:32 am

@VonZep: Good one!!!!!

40 Fegli 10.06.08 at 3:03 am

Ohhh! I’m a cat person but seeing pics of beautiful doggies like this one makes me want one sooooo bad! <3

That being said, this particular doggerson clearly needs a hug!

41 Nancy 10.06.08 at 3:25 am

Pupels like parking lots, that’s how I get when I have to kid sit. I completely understand!

42 not that lurker the other lurker 10.06.08 at 5:04 am

Perfect! That’s what our goggie says about my 2 yr old aaallllll the times. Dewd, he is. Still. Not. Housebroken. Wtf omg?!

@Myrtle Mae: Only if you’ve not had one! :)

43 Daphne Moss 10.06.08 at 6:29 am

Dah puppeh knows…he knows all…and he can see what happens in oh …15 years….not good.

44 Hon Glad 10.06.08 at 6:41 am

Well, I was here first and that thing is getting all the attention. You should hear it try to bark, I mean what’s oogle wabba bibble, sposed to mean?

45 Raemie L. 10.06.08 at 7:52 am

*chortles* Fitting!

46 Gindy 10.06.08 at 11:47 am

This is the same look my dog had when we brought my daughter home. Almost a pleading for removal of said “stinky thing”. HA!

47 Momcat 10.06.08 at 1:32 pm

Oh, my, those eyebrows! I’m cryink wit’ sympathy!

48 WannaSmile.com 10.06.08 at 3:05 pm

Puppers face is PRICELESS!!!

49 ThreeCatNight 10.06.08 at 3:31 pm

“I cannot take this any more. The kid makes the most bizarre noises, and spits up, and poops, and I’m the one catching hell when there’s some kibble on the floor. It’s just not fair, I tell you. I’m just too good for them, too nice. No one appreciates me!”

50 Kris 10.06.08 at 3:46 pm

Poor doggie! I concur, wholeheartedly!!!

51 winnie 10.06.08 at 4:37 pm

i love this pic, everything about how its zoomed in on his face and the kid in the background is blurred a tad, it fits perfectly!

52 Vicki in Michigan 10.06.08 at 7:49 pm

Dear Pup,

The kid will be able to throw food on the floor WAY sooner than he’ll be able to throw a ball. In fact, he looks about old enough for that now…. Keep your eyes peeled.

Mom will thank you for helping keep the floor clean.

your friend, Molly Corgi

53 Marie 10.06.08 at 9:18 pm

Sorry if someone wrote this already, but…

Priceless. Just priceless.

54 David Spor 10.07.08 at 3:20 am

What the blazes is that contraption the child is in? More importantly, do they make one for grown ups????

55 cachorro 10.07.08 at 3:28 am

Thanks, Meg–You made this week a lot better.

56 Theo 10.07.08 at 1:00 pm

David Spor – hell yeah they do…
