    CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, CO! If it weren’t for you, I would have gone crazy years ago. Keep up the good work!

  35. Katrina says:

    Congrats again Meg and Theo and NOMTOM and, and, oh, damn, the other incredibly handsome, sweet-smelling, perfect-pitched, clever and wonderful autuer, I’m sorry I can’t think of your moniker right now, (so I threw in a few more adjectives to make you feel better or, to smooth it over, as it were), Congratulations,all!

  50. Mary (the first) says:

    Well deserved CONGRATS to Meg, Theo, NOMTOM .. not to mention all the CO peeps who comment and keep the level up .. and love to the puppehs in the photo.. that hat is at a rakish angle indeed which I think probably fits that puppeh’s personality.

  51. Noelle says:

    Congrats CO! Truly the most magical spot on the web!

    I third “the cute shall inherit the earth” t-shirt. Please.

  52. Nik says:

    Hey NOMTOM, if we apply it directly, will it help with the laugh lines I’ve gotten from this site?!?

  53. Anna in PDX says:

    1000 congratulations as we say in Egypt!

  54. berthaservant says:

    Congrats, congrats, congrats. This website is such a solace and relief from teh dryness and itchiness of everyday life.

  55. cat says:

    Shouldn’t those shirts say “teh qte shall inherit the earth”?

  56. I’d suggest “The Cute Shall Inherit the Mirth.”

  57. catloveschanel says:

    or “The cute inherits no girth”

    Way to go O _ H _ I _ O

  58. Mel2 says:

    This just confirms what we all already knew: That CO is an invincible juggernaut (huggernaut?) of paw chub, moist nosicles, Tailio Iglesiases, ear flaps, rabbit disapproval, axes of snorgling, color matchingks, dangling feet, ‘tocks of every shape and size, stuffed muzzlepowsches, 90-degree barroos, and unadulterated, unapologetic proshness.

    We didn’t need an award to tell us that, but !!SHA-ZAM!! just the same. Congratulations!

  59. Alice says:

    I had NO IDEA they were announcing at SXSW…I LIVE here and I bet there were wee baby ducks and pandas riding little cars and ALL SORTS OF STUFF at the announcement…I missed it all!
    Thankfully that goofy lookin’ dog up there makes me feel better.
    Congrats!!!

  60. Mel2 says:

    @ Alice: I live in Austin too! I can’t believe I missed it. Wah.

  61. Bunni says:

    I think those are weblogs that can be applied directly to the forehead.
    Congrats, Meg – you bring a lot of joy to the world!

  62. Trish says:

    Is Mike single? Because based on his captions — which I can now identify before even glancing at the credit — I think we are meant for each other.

  63. dub1 says:

    CO has it all: cuteness in all known flavours [panders, pugs, poms to name but a few under the 'puhs'] doobluh enntenndruhs, [topical: snerk!], brainworms [still singing 'It's Log!', thanks a bunch].
    And all that at a click of the wrist. Really, thanks a bunch.
    Meg and minions rule.

  64. violet says:

    Conga rats to cuteoverload. You make me happy every day, several times a day.

  65. kibblenibble says:

    Trish, I think you’ll need to get in line; many are in love with the NOMTOM…(myself included)

    Congrats, CO!!!!!!!!!

  66. Ellie says:

    Aaaaaaawww! The little dog with its tongue sticking out looks so cute i just want to pick it up and give it a bit hug!!! ^_^

  67. Christina V says:

    Yay for cuteoverload!!! :)

    And Jay (special papillon) and Kasey (lab x) are always more then willing to dish out extra helpings of the dog biscuit cake! (but you gotta bring your own party hat)

  68. sk says:

    Hey, has that little papillon with the stick-out tongue been on CO before?

  69. Abby says:

    That poor dog has no teeth!! how is he going to eat his biscuit???

  70. MJ says:

    OMG OMG OMG OMG the tongue. THE TONGUE!

  71. Christina V says:

    to sk: yep! Jay’s been on here before, here’s one of them:
    http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2008/week7/index.html

    and to Abby: he actually has 9 teeth left (he’s a rescue), but none of them are one’s that hold in the tongue!! So he eats great…..just likes to let it all hang out (and bonus: he always brings home cool things stuck to his tongue on our walks)

    :)

  72. Theo says:

    “bonus: he always brings home cool things stuck to his tongue on our walks”
