Sheeeyooot, one kibble would be a lifetime’s worth of meals to this guy! :-)

2 Nikki 05.04.09 at 1:18 pm

If that dog sneezes, Snailio is a goner!!

3 Von Zeppelin 05.04.09 at 1:29 pm

“Stand aside, dog, or you will TASTE THE POWER OF MY WRATH!!” (Waves eyestalks in a menacing fashion)

4 superboymom 05.04.09 at 1:32 pm

Is that a snalio, or did that doggeh just sneeze? heheh

5 Estlin 05.04.09 at 1:34 pm

I hope that curiosity won’t kill the snail.

That’s a pretty darned cute picture, by the way.

6 Janeyferr 05.04.09 at 1:40 pm

sometimes slugs get into my guinea pig food bin and they end up all hard and dead because of the salts :-|

7 Paunchie 05.04.09 at 1:48 pm

ew! I think he’s got hair stuck on his little bum!

bettah watch out snailio, that dawg could snorf you right up!

8 nismo 05.04.09 at 1:51 pm

Tiny snail could fit in the dog’s nostril.

Oh, and…EHHNNNNN

9 berthaservant 05.04.09 at 1:51 pm

NOMNOMNOM

nomnomnom

but if they do that ‘lady and the tramp’ thing w/ the kibble then i don’t think it’s gonna end well

10 Scientific Chick 05.04.09 at 2:10 pm

That’s a pretty cute dog nose.

11 Argyle Donkeypants 05.04.09 at 2:19 pm

No, I can’t spare one kibble. And stop calling me Shirley.

12 shannomo 05.04.09 at 2:20 pm

Hmmmm, my goggie would eat the snail and ask questions later.

13 chanpon 05.04.09 at 2:27 pm

*plotting on how to slime the pup’s nosicle*

14 pyrit 05.04.09 at 2:38 pm

I’m nought but lowly snail, up at 5am, traveled 42 hours this day, from faraway County Waterbowl, lick‘d tha road clean wi‘ me tongue, wit‘ nought but salt and cold gravel for’s to eat, …

15 Samantha 05.04.09 at 2:45 pm

Snailio’s just grabbing some hairio as a tailio.

16 Argyle Donkeypants 05.04.09 at 2:50 pm

@Pyrit: But we were ‘appy in those days, we were.

17 pyrit 05.04.09 at 2:55 pm

Argyle! We were lucky!

18 chelonianmobile 05.04.09 at 3:10 pm

I hope they rescued that snail before the dog accidentally snorfed it up. Poor thing’s staring death in the face! Rescue the silly snailio!

19 Jenni S 05.04.09 at 3:26 pm

AW!

20 Illise 05.04.09 at 3:26 pm

Amazing pic, i wish i was that good taking pics

21 Von Zeppelin 05.04.09 at 3:27 pm

pyrit/Argyle–’ard it were, carryin’ all me worldly goods, even me ‘ouse, around everywhere. It’d be enough to break me backbone, if I ‘ad one.

That’s another thing–in those days, we couldn’t even afford backbones. . .

22 Camille 05.04.09 at 3:30 pm

Hmmmm, my doggie likes a little cottage cheese on her kibble, but I never thought of escargot!

23 Jakepets 05.04.09 at 3:30 pm

Oh, and snailio is all singin’ “Me … and my shaaaaaa-dow ….” Would he be slimin’ down the avenue?

24 snuh 05.04.09 at 3:42 pm

i like the picture of the doggeh’s snoot better.

25 Lucas 05.04.09 at 3:49 pm

Holy macro, Batman!

26 Amanda 05.04.09 at 3:59 pm

I want to stroke that doggy nose. It looks all fuzzeh.
Beware Snailio! Tis precarious ground!

27 pyrit 05.04.09 at 4:03 pm

Snailio is a stalker! Run, Mighty Dog, run! The puparazzi’s after you!

28 Birdcage 05.04.09 at 4:19 pm

I call dachshund schnozzle.

29 dawgpup93 05.04.09 at 4:38 pm

sorry snail we dont have any snail kibble

30 charliewabba 05.04.09 at 4:41 pm

Snailio thinks mebbe the bowl is full of his relatives…

31 ariesgirl 05.04.09 at 5:10 pm

Aw, man! You slimed my kibble!

32 spb 05.04.09 at 5:31 pm

Don’t breathe Mr Pupster… either direction would be catastrophic for poor ole Snalio!

33 Theresa 05.04.09 at 5:42 pm

“To all the snails I’ve loffed befoooooore . . .”

34 Mary Wimpey 05.04.09 at 5:55 pm

There is a place where the food bowl ends
And before the kibble begins,
And there the dog nose is soft and wet,
And there the camera flash is bright,
And there the snailio rests from his slide,
To cool in the Purina wind.

Let us leave this place where the tile is cold,
And the dark grout winds and bends.
Past the pits where the kitteh flowers grow
We shall slide with a slide that is measured and slow,
And watch where the light brown kibbles go
To the place where the food bowl ends.

Yes we’ll slide with a slide that is measured and slow,
And we’ll go where the light brown kibbles go,
For the eyestalks, they mark, and the eyestalks, they know
The place where the food bowl ends.

Ahn. *head tilt*

35 ☼Rainbowstar☼ 05.04.09 at 6:05 pm

Love the “food bowl ends” poem!

The snailio’s shell kind of looks like a piece of kibble. What if the dog … no, it’s too horrible to imagine.

Who knew snails could be cute?

36 Coffeecup 05.04.09 at 6:15 pm

First off…nom nom nom
Second…I’m on CO on my new iPhone

37 kibblenibble 05.04.09 at 6:46 pm

So many wonderful comments…Pyrit, Von Zep, Argyle, Mary Wimpey, you’ve all made my day, right along with this teeny snailio…:-) Thank you!

38 Argyle Donkeypants 05.04.09 at 7:26 pm

@Von Zep, Pyrit: Oh, in my family, we LONGED for a house ta carry on our backs. We only ‘ad a ‘ole in the dirt, covered wiv a piece a’ tarpaulin.

39 Argyle Donkeypants 05.04.09 at 7:34 pm

Oh, and Mary Wimpey? Your. Poem. Rocks. Very Shel Silverstein-esque.

40 Nikki 05.04.09 at 7:38 pm

Well if Snailio Inglesias doesn’t deserve a Pocket Pet tag, then nobody does…

41 soxfan413 05.04.09 at 7:57 pm

Good call, Birdcage. I can see dachshund there.

Pyrit, Donkeypants, Von Zep, and Mary Wimpey? Thanks to all for the smiles. Yay!

Add another vote for the Pocket Pet tag! :)

42 puddlepeppers 05.04.09 at 7:57 pm

Pyrit, Argyle, Von Zeppelin, and Mary Wimpey–Thanks for all the thought
and creativity that made this one of the best threads ever…
I used to be “Duck,” *O0<, but the nickname was taken…Now I’m your
friend, “Puddlepeppers”.

43 Mary Wimpey 05.04.09 at 8:03 pm

@ kibblenibble/soxfan413/puddlepeppers

Thank you very moishe ^^;;

@ Argyle

It was Shell Snailverstein :D

44 free virtual world for kids 05.04.09 at 8:39 pm

It looks like it’s saying:

“Can i have some too?”
“Aww, come on. It won’t hurt to share!”

45 SoCalSis 05.04.09 at 9:24 pm

Argyle, at least you had a tarpaulin! LUXURY! We always wanted a tarpaulin, but ‘ad to be content wi’ the stars as our covers…

46 socalsis 05.04.09 at 9:26 pm

(Hmmm I wonder if I retain my non-specialized spelling, will I also retain my avatar? Let’s see….)

47 socalsis 05.04.09 at 9:26 pm

(apparently not…) (sigh)

48 Patito Gigante 05.04.09 at 9:42 pm

Is “tiny/big” a rule of cuteness? I don’t feel like looking it up and/or explaining what I mean.

49 oaklandcat 05.04.09 at 9:47 pm

Thanks to CO, now whenever I see a snailio I just wanna take a peekture of it.

50 Theo 05.04.09 at 10:38 pm

Patito — sort of. ;)

51 Antoinette Chua 05.05.09 at 12:58 am

It’s absolutely cute! hehehe.. did you put that snail there?

52 Michael Claymore 05.05.09 at 1:15 am

I hope the dog isnt French.

53 hon glad 05.05.09 at 1:56 am

A|s a gardener and vegetable grower,that snail would not be long for this world. I know the giant king of the snails and slugs will come and take me in my sleep, but they’re not having my plants.

54 Kristabelle 05.05.09 at 6:25 am

I see German Shepherd snout, really… I don’t think the germans are much into escargot!

Mary Wimpey, excellent poem – Shel Snailverstein for the win!!! :)

55 Katrina 05.05.09 at 7:48 am

Weren’t we just having a discussion about pets having pets? Did that snail realize just how big that puppy was going to get when he asked for him?

56 AuntieMame 05.05.09 at 10:16 am

Just for the record, there is a Purina plant just off the highway on our route to and from Mom and Dad’s house, and I can attest that the Purina wind is rather vile. Just so you know. :)

57 Lerrinus 05.05.09 at 10:58 am

*at-choo!*

What snail? ;-)

58 Andi 05.05.09 at 1:31 pm

We all have our own funnybones that get tickled, right? For some reason, Snailio Iglesias cracks me up EVERY time.

59 AJ 05.06.09 at 8:40 am

I call Ridgeback nose!

60 Ashley 05.10.09 at 10:40 am
