PS Xanax is NOT bad. It can be very helpful to some people under certain conditions.

31 Queen of Dork 09.26.09 at 8:30 pm

For sure! Please know that I am recovering from horrible drug addiction. spousal abuse and all bad things you could imagine. Living on the street to now living in a great home. I know this is not really the forum to say this but God helped me get out of the place I was and get into the place I am now. Life is Beautifu!!!

32 AmyJ 09.26.09 at 8:33 pm

Queen of Dork, props to you for getting your life together! Wow, congrats, and best wishes for a happy, healthy, and independent future. Life is beautiful and you help make it so!

(Chubbular puppies help too! I hope this guy got a big hug and treats for finally turning his little self over!)

33 marthava 09.26.09 at 8:34 pm

Ya’ll should put this up after the first two! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udB98SLzXgQ&feature=player_embedded

34 Queen of Dork 09.26.09 at 8:35 pm

Thank you, AmyJ! I try every day to make it better!

35 AmyJ 09.26.09 at 8:35 pm

By the way – unrelated question here, perhaps there was a discussion of this but I’m not able to check CO all the time. Whatever happened to Prongs? Seems like she was posting a lot for a few days but I haven’t seen anything in a while. Is she still going to be contributing to CO?

36 Brook 09.26.09 at 8:37 pm

Have you seen this video of the same pup? Trying to attack a kitty that just isn’t having it? OMG, check out his legs all splayed out while he’s in attack mode.

37 Queen of Dork 09.26.09 at 8:38 pm

AmyJ: Don’t know. It’s funny you thought that was a girl. I thought It was a guy..

38 AmyJ 09.26.09 at 8:46 pm

QofD – I don’t remember the specifics but there were some references in the comments to an early Prongs post to her being a girl. She has her own blog, rabbits who look like people (I think). But still, she could be a guy, I’m not really sure.

[No, you're right, that's her. I do hope she does some more stuff here soon. - Ed.]

39 Gigi 09.26.09 at 8:54 pm

Just looked at the video Brook linked to, very funny, love the cat’s reaction but I never had a baby french bulldog is that much splaying of the back legs normal?

50 Queen of Dork 09.26.09 at 9:21 pm

OMG AmyJ! You figured out that upside down crap too!!

51 Lux 09.26.09 at 9:22 pm

Is that the 8 seconds cut off from the original minute long video? I think it would have saved some people a lot of grief if it was kept on!

But all puppies need to get up on their own sometime. Pups don’t always have a human to roll them over! Also,

52 AmyJ 09.26.09 at 9:26 pm

QofD – check on the link Grace provided (#41). It’s a website that does the upside-downing. Then just copy and paste. Very awesome! As Theo said – bookmarking NOW (although he said it upside down).

53 Queen of Dork 09.26.09 at 9:26 pm

Hey! Hey! everybunny. turn backside up. I tried this and it didn’t work! I want to be upside down and inside out too!

54 Queen of Dork 09.26.09 at 9:27 pm

HEY! WTF?

55 Queen of Dork 09.26.09 at 9:35 pm

I’m exhausted by all this. But I’m going to be upside down if it kills me. (which it won’t.) Theo, Amy…bare with me here. I’m going to do this.

56 AmyJ 09.26.09 at 9:35 pm

Hmm – that’s odd, QofD. Did the website not turn your text upside down, or did the copy and paste not work?

61 AmyJ 09.26.09 at 9:44 pm

QofD, do you mean you haven’t been able to connect to the website? Did you try closing the browser and opening again, or even rebooting? The site seems to be ok, but it sounds like your computer doesn’t like it.

62 Queen of Dork 09.26.09 at 9:44 pm

victoreia – I tried everythingl I think maybe my computer just sucks.

63 AmyJ 09.26.09 at 9:45 pm

I’m going to say that again: You women are the best women that I have ever had the honor to meet in my whole entire life!!!

67 Queen of Dork 09.26.09 at 9:55 pm

Ah crap. I’ve scared everyone off againl

68 AmyJ 09.26.09 at 9:56 pm

QofD – What I meant was, I was wondering if maybe your computer didn’t like the website at the same time you were basically saying the same thing.

I don’t know about you folks but I’m on the east coast and I really think I need to get myself some sleep. Sweet dreams, all!

69 AmyJ 09.26.09 at 9:59 pm

One last thing (not scared off, just tired) – I think the folks of CO really are great. I don’t always have time to read the comments and contribute, but aside from the occasional commentroversy, it’s a pretty nice place to be! And face it, the commentroversies can be pretty entertaining if you have a comfy chair and some pudding.

That video Brook linked to KILLED ME

74 Roisin 09.27.09 at 12:05 am

I swear there is not one puppy video that is not the pure unadulterated essence of cuteness in Lavendar2003’s you tube channel. The power of the puppies make my mind asplode then heal me. I squeed so hard a neighbor called the cops to complain about the noise.

I swear with French bulldogs like those and a vast supply of chocolate I could bring about world peace or at least less bickering.

75 LisaL 09.27.09 at 12:12 am

Heh, yay lil frenchie :D I’m glad he finally figured out how to roll back over heh

78 Biscuit Tin 09.27.09 at 2:05 am

Brook’s video link is absolutely ‘tock-tastic!

79 Jenni Wren 09.27.09 at 2:40 am

Okay, I want the Little Fat Pup Who Stood Up as prime minister. Or president. Or freakin’ master of the universe. It’s not often that you think “Oh my gosh, he’s AMAZING” just because someone stood up of their own volition.
Think about it. Major economic deficit? ID cards scandal? Fears about the NHS? Get a bunch of cameras in the room, then this little guy rolls about on his back for a bit, and you’ve forgotten all that other stuff.

I love the expression on the cat’s face at 0.27 in Brook’s video. It’s all “is this as ridiculous as I think it is, fellow sapient being?”

80 Noelegy 09.27.09 at 4:28 am

MAJOR splits on that puppy! And I have come to the conclusion that French bulldog puppies look like Yukon gold potatoes.

81 Noelegy 09.27.09 at 4:30 am

P.S. I thought that the universe spinning properly was due to THIS guy:

82 derz 09.27.09 at 4:41 am

man I love puppies. How can someone not look at a puppy and not smile and make your day a little bit better.

83 bookmonstercats 09.27.09 at 4:54 am

Puppers has to learn co-ordination, so it’s prolly best if he isn’t put right side up right away, unless he’s becoming exhausted or distressed. If he and his mum lived in the wild, there’d be no human to help him.

The brill upside down text web-site says to me that it can’t flip all my text. For example, it can’t do g or h.

QofD, God bless you and keep you.

84 Hon Glad 09.27.09 at 5:01 am

Ehn! – must have been coined for this little guy.

Brook – Hi -larious video. Cats “Oh dear this is pathetic, that little blob thinks it can get near moi, tsk tsk tsk.”

On a slightly gloomy note, a friend had a British Bulldog who’s back legs kept collapsing, I think it was hip dysplasia and a failing of the breed. I don’t know anything about Bull baiting, but I guess the dogs were bred for a jaw that would grip and possibly the splayed back legs for purchase on the ground.

88 Resriechan (Formerly L, NTA) 09.27.09 at 6:14 am

1) Anyone else realize the irony, in Pyrit providing us w/ upside-down & backwards text capability, under the photo story of the little doggy getting himself rightside up?

2)Hi Pyrit ….I just opened the link you did in # 87 & I’m not catching the insight of that one?? What’d I miss?

Peace & sequins to all.

@Pitas for Ritas, that vid is HI-larious! I love the look at .43 that mom-doggie gives the cat…it’s like she is thinking “I am not going to mess with that” and starts to play with other puppeh. Adorable puppeh squeaking too!

I promise you, this little guy has no problem getting off his back, especially if there’s food in the vicinity.

92 AmyJ 09.27.09 at 6:43 am

illini Jen, Tater is hilarious! The tummy!! The squirming!! And that little barky “ehn ehn ehn” sound – too much first thing in the morning. I’m ded already!

QoD, you may just be my new hero. Wow. You have overcome so much; to borrow a 70’s-ism… keep on truckin’.

Yay for the little pup, I knew he’d get it eventually, but his “Did you see me do that” look at the end is simply “too, too”.
As for the upside down text, hilarious, esp in context of upside down puppy.

98 kleven-stein 09.27.09 at 9:26 am

Doesn’t this kind of depend on your definition of “up”?

I mean, how low-to-the-ground can you be and still call it “up”?

Any object dragging its belly on the ground would be called “down” in my vernacular…

99 dia 09.27.09 at 10:14 am

Pudgy puppies FTW! I loves me some soft belleh.

Hah! I knew he could do it.

Resriechan – The pic I linked there. Just havin’ more upside down fun.
It’s the Black Pearl, getting back to the land of the living. See the movie!
One of my most fave pics. She rights herself, just like the pup.
(Just like Queen of Dork …hugs.)

So glad the upside down writing website was such a hit here!

101 Katrina 09.27.09 at 11:25 am

OK, that is NOT a dog. Even its mother isn’t a dog, but wow is it cute.

I’m so proud of his achievement, what the hell is wrong with me? Memo-to self: get out more often…

102 Carolinaliz 09.27.09 at 12:05 pm

Yay for puppy! See, by leaving the puppy alone he figured it out for himself without anyone helping him! He deserves a treat. And a snuggle.

103 dub1 09.27.09 at 12:31 pm

@Noelegy:
What a freaky little video! I thought you’d get nuffers, but perhaps the bewilderbeast llama was sufficient nuff-repellent. And love the gyroscope.

104 yellowsneakers 09.27.09 at 2:14 pm

LMFAO I’m playing a live album on iTunes, and JUST as the puppy got up, the applause on the track started. Hilarious.

105 Skylar 09.27.09 at 2:16 pm

Im guessing those that were feeling so awful for this pup have never seen a baby giraffe born, nor what the mother does to it immediately it stands…

Animals need to learn to fend for themselves or they will become incapable of taking care of the basic essential needs it must to live day to day… rolling over should be learned by the pup without human interference. He needs to be strong, independent, and capable! (seriously?!) Practical sense to me, but then I was raised on a farm.

106 Theresa 09.27.09 at 2:46 pm

Baby bulldog, it’s a baby bulldog,
It’s a baby bulldog, a bulldog in a fog,
It’s a baby bulldog, a bulldog with a frog,
It’s a baby bulldog, it’s a baby bulldog.

110 Celia 09.27.09 at 8:17 pm

I thought in the first one he was rolling just for the fun of it.

111 Beppers 09.27.09 at 8:27 pm

I like how he looks politely surprised that he managed it

112 LovesDogs 09.27.09 at 8:30 pm

Picture take should have definitely helped the puppeh turn over. He was soo distressed and crying.

113 LovesDogs 09.27.09 at 8:31 pm

That’s picture TAKER.

114 kenwoodplc 09.27.09 at 9:53 pm

where is his mom ;)

115 doofle 09.27.09 at 10:51 pm

French bulldogs just have huge-ass barrel-y ribcages; other dogs that are that shape can have trouble rolling over, too. I had a Boston terrier (which have very similar shapes to Frenchies) and she wasn’t the quickest with rolling over either; she was really uncoordinated and was kinda like that puppy when she was really little, but she figured it out eventually and didn’t have any trouble when she got to be a little older. This puppy’s obviously still fairly young; it just seems like he’s just not all that coordinated yet but will get there as he gets older.

116 doofle 09.27.09 at 10:55 pm

P.S.

My favorite video of lavender2003’s is the one where the puppy’s playing with this huge-ass beetle and it starts crawling on him. :D

117 lphoenix 09.28.09 at 3:03 pm

I’m gonna check comments more often now that I’ve seen these great *other* videos, who knew? Thanks! Surely the cat-chasing pup deserves its own viral reign too? And to be on front page of cuteoverload? I can’t get over the plumpness and the ….. errr, adorable dopiness of these bebehs, I loves me ze Frainch bulldogs now!

118 yoyo 09.28.09 at 4:42 pm

Too little too late!! This accepted cruelty has forced me to leave cuteoverload once and for all, as well as avoid any more videos that the dog owner sadistically posts on YouTube. In fact, there’s millions of other baby animals all over the world’s forests who are suffering because the humans didn’t bother to turn them back upright. How dare you….

Marthava, Brook, and whoever else may have posted the video. I love when the cat looks at the camera like, “Come on. You seriously want my to waste my precious time..on THIS?”
