I bet that’s the new Liver Lover Lip Gloss.

I personally think it’s the floppy ears and his teeny weensy eyebrows lashes.

3 pyrit 06.30.09 at 3:15 pm

Such a pout. Like ma useta say, “You could sit on that lip!”

4 Jessie 06.30.09 at 3:21 pm

he looks so… snorgle-licious!

and that’s a rather disapproving pout. :P

Not sure about this rule. Perhaps when combined with other attributes it ups the cuteness, but I can think of some glistening lower lips that were NOT cute. Ah well. I’m not a professional cuteologist, though, so perhaps I’m off base.

That pout is irresistible!

7 Pheas 06.30.09 at 3:56 pm

Pup, your face is gonna freeze that way!

Pup is sighing for the old days, when as a famous pupographer, he took photos of “the road less traveled” as seen behind him.

Sad pup thinks “Why do they keep calling me a boxer? I’m a lover, not a fighter.”

10 A. 06.30.09 at 4:17 pm

260Oakley: I’m not sure it’s a boxer. I petsit for a pug mix who looks just like this little dewd. The only difference is that I’m not sure my client has ever sat still long enough to be photographed.

13 kat 06.30.09 at 4:54 pm

Parker Promise Yoshi Deucenstein?!??!! that is one sweet name

14 milominderbender 06.30.09 at 4:55 pm

Awww, cute boxer puppy. I’m sure it’s just paused in a brief moment of contemplation before going back to play or sleeping in adorable positions.

15 Erinne 06.30.09 at 4:56 pm

Hey Everyone! Thank you so much for the comments! He’s a pug crossed with and English bulldog. We’ve had him for 6 weeks, and he’s made us SO proud! e

16 Von Zeppelin 06.30.09 at 5:04 pm

Erinne–so, part English bulldog? That accounts for the Churchillian firmness in that lower lip. Does he smoke cigars?

17 cath 06.30.09 at 5:18 pm

i just wanna plant a big kiss on that pouty lip! *mwah!*

18 Theresa 06.30.09 at 5:27 pm

Velvety ears . . . mmmm!

19 Melinda 06.30.09 at 5:55 pm

He looks pensive, like he’s thinking about something.

20 Noelegy 06.30.09 at 6:20 pm

Of course he’s thinking about something.

He’s thinking: “Bacon! Bacon! Bacon!” :)

21 tracylee 06.30.09 at 6:55 pm

needs a bowler and a cigar?

22 Beth 06.30.09 at 7:01 pm

Such glistening poutitude!

23 Ruth 06.30.09 at 7:57 pm

OMG, THAT IS A SET OF LIPS JUST BEGGING TO BE KISSED BY ME !

24 Arielle 06.30.09 at 8:55 pm

i see an axis of snorgeling. right…THERE! (nuzzles soft puppy neck, tugs on earses)

25 erin 06.30.09 at 9:10 pm

is he a jug? i know part of him is pug and my pug has a near identical shiny lip! we need to start a fan club!!

Zee Maurice Chevalier of zee puppee world.

27 Kar 07.01.09 at 12:14 am

I bet he uses that pout to get what he wants. A LOT.

28 Kristabelle 07.01.09 at 5:54 am

What a sweet face! It’s a good thing they are cute when they’re puppies, cause they certainly get in enough trouble!!!!

29 Valerie 07.01.09 at 7:00 am

I think I hear something! Better not be that cat again.

30 Katrina 07.01.09 at 8:55 am

What a lovely picture! Sweet puppyhood. Does he snore? Tell him to lay off the cigars, Von Zeppelin was only kidding. I hate it when they fall asleep with the things dangling……”just restin’ my eyes”- don’t believe it! Beautiful puppeh.

31 berthaservant 07.01.09 at 12:19 pm

I instantly thought Chevalier, Churchill, or Hitchcock. The old Hapsburg leep.

I think the key here is the “glistening” — simply a protruding lip in and of itself is not evidence of cute, if I am reading the rule correctly.

32 Gina 07.01.09 at 6:42 pm

That, good people, is the textbook illustration of a “Boo Boo Lip.” You’re welcome.

33 nicole 07.02.09 at 12:03 am
34 Susan 07.02.09 at 6:23 am

so cute his dogfather must be proud!

35 Carol 07.04.09 at 8:48 am

My money says that’s a pug cross not a boxer… Is it even a puppy? Does anyone know?? Agh! *stares at cute picture to dispel negative emotions*
