DogEared: I believe that IS a large dog nose in the first TWO pics. Crap. This will cause many CO casualties.
*Hawkeye, Radar, Hot Lips, Klinger, Hunicutt, Potter: To the hospital tent…STAT! And Frank…(oh. maybe you should wait here).*
Theresa: (squeak, squeak)
Nurse Stef here: Time to come back from the ded now, dear. Sorry to take you away from the pretty lights but you have things yet to do here on Earth.
*administering smelling salts to Theresa. cool compress applied to forehead*
THIS is why the large hadron collider can not get up and working properly. The cute vortex created by this wee little scap of pup is sucking up all the Higgs bosons and hiding them behind the stubbular ears.
I love that his little arms when fully extended don’t even come up to his ears – O heavens – I think I’m going to have to nom on those!
Meg – this post is lethal!!!
Is Teho instead of Theo too old school? So sorry if that’s the case!
[No, see, Jaye is my actual real-world wife, if you didn't know. Mixing in the virtual/work life like that is a little weird. - Ed.]
Oh, yes. He is too cute for words. But can you imagine how adorable he *sounded*? The noises and squeaks and little moans that always come with a puppy-yawn…oh, if only this were a YouTube video.
@browngrl: I am so totally thrilled to know I’m not the only person around who knows about the Hedron. A baguette allegedly dropped by a seagull closed it down recently. Yikes!
Such a cutie!! Did someone make teh rest of teh picture balck and nothin on purpose? Or is this mouth just sucking up all teh color in the universe cept for his tongue?
*gasps* Looks like a little wolf cub! SO CUTE!
My brother’s dog just had puppies and one of them kept yawning and my nose was right there every time to take in the best scent in the world… PUPPY BREF!
@Queen of Dork
I often think of this metaphor sometimes, that dozens of people die every day looking at CO but there’s always somebody like you around to lead them away from the tunnel of light and back here.
keep up the good work QOD
and yes, thank you Meg for giving us our daily overdose of Qte Waves.
I think Jaye is pretty sly to sneak her Christmas wish in under cover of Cute Overload comments. *high five*
Another good way is to post lists on the fridge…..although my favorite is to circle items in the Sears Wish Book catalogue and leave it laying around in opportune places (a la Ralphie)
*looks at passed out peeps all over the place*
*Nurse Stef (and the cast of M*A*S*H) administer smelling salts and apply cold compresses to ALL passed out, fainted, swooned, dizzy and ded CO peeps*
Lakota: Wow! Cool! Thankfully, we have everyone stabilized and on IV drips. Do you yourself need medical attention? That wheeze is the first sign of Cutetosis of the things and stuff.
Katrina: Mazel tov, dear! Don’t try to get up yet if you’re still dizzy. Lay back and relax. Here are some cookies and milk for you. They’re not what the doctor ordered but…meh…what the hell, right?
@Skip I’m almost certain it is a keeshond. I’ve had many in my life and indeed have two lying at my feet as I type this. They are 10 and 5 yrs old though, not wee one like in the pics. Being a keesie fan I’m DOUBLE DED
Man, I had a heck of a time getting in here this morning, with all the ded bodies piled against the door. What the… OH NOES!!!!!! I’ve been sucked into the vortex of cute!!!!! *gasping for breath*
Re. new Cute: I know — that’s why I sometimes just stick to the re. emails for several hours & just check here maybe every couple of hours, until something impressive is posted.
By the way — I remembered to ask my mom about the other photo/ ch. blossoms (remember, the one I mailed to you? You asked whether the buildings in the photo were military bldgs onbase? You were abso. correct; they are military bldgs — not residence bldgs, but it was taken onbase, Yokosuka, Japan; mom did remember)
@QoD, splain me how you are still on your feet, ministering to all the ded. Are you immune to the cute? Did you get your vaccination before they all ran out?
Theresa: I’ve been overly exposed over the course of my life during torture sessions. (don’t ask) (’cause I haven’t thought of an explanation for that yet). While I’m still vulnerable to the cute, my immune system has been exposed many, many times before so I’m able to look at it, yet wink and help others.
There are just no words to describe this thread- CO classic! Niiicely done, everyone-pass the soap, please? Oh, it is on a rope–well pass it over will you please, I’m at the end of mine….ooooooooh, aaaaaahhhhh.
No teefies yet, too tiny and so new, the paw pads are still buttery soft. I’ll bet they taste just like warm, soft black licorice. I need to eat me some licorice, NOW! Thud.
Dear Amy O. and feathered_head-I’ll be right over and we can go see da puppeh, ok? The bag I’m carrying? Oh, just a um, bag for my stuff, you know, um, necessities of life LIKE THAT PUPPEH_ (runs away, well lopes away). Oh, puppeh still needs mommy-I’ll just put you back carefully and stay over the next eight weeks!
I don’t suppose there is a 24hr camera on the litter, is there?
ButtaRumCake: If the urge to look at the puppy again overwhelmes you, just jam some smelling salts up your nose FIRST. I have found this to be effective.
OMG!! The Wizard of Oz is on at 8:00 here!!! Wheeeee!!!!! Yay!!!!!!
*the cast of M*A*S*H (and maybe ButtaRumCake and Resriechan) will still be here to assist ded peeps*
@Theresa: I have a feeling this puppy could do just that, and we’d all be entranced. He is that cute.
But I was hoping for more of pictures of him sleeping, napping, and dozing. Or of him getting ready to sleep, nap, or doze. Or waking up from sleeping, napping or dozing. I’m pretty easy to please, any of those would work for me. Easy.
Swedish Valhunden — a very rare breed, indeed. The pupper is cute!
And it is no wonder that dogs are distantly related to bears. Evidence posted in pictures above.
I can almost hear the adorable little grunt and tiny growl that accompanied that yawn…Oh, da fatness….paws, nose, butterball body and fat triangle tail…Must have!
I just want to put my face in dat belleh…
More on dis baby’s breed:
The Swedish Vallhund is AKC’s 156th breed.
At the November 2006 Board Meeting the Swedish Vallhund became eligible to participate fully in AKC Herding Events and to compete for Prefix and Suffix titles, effective January 1, 2007.
They also come in three tail styles naturally: No tail-stumpy butt, regular tail and a curling-up the back tail. But they so look like a cross between the Corgi and German Shepherd.
I must admit that knowing which breed that puppeh is seems much less important than simply sitting back and enjoying the puppeh’s awe-sum anerabilitude. I just want to kiss him, and hold him, and snorgle him, and (wait for it…) call him George! Of course, if it’s a little she-puppeh, I’ll call her George!

Good Heavens. WTF? How can that be so cute? It sort of looks like it’s part puppy and 1/4 bear cub?! How cute!!
ButtaRumCake? ButtaRumCake!!!!
Hilarious! If you look really closely at the first picture, you can see A Yawn is Born by the crinkly snout!

I just noticed that you cant even see teef, puppeh’s so leetle…*sigh*
DogEared: I believe that IS a large dog nose in the first TWO pics. Crap. This will cause many CO casualties.
*Hawkeye, Radar, Hot Lips, Klinger, Hunicutt, Potter: To the hospital tent…STAT! And Frank…(oh. maybe you should wait here).*
*Many feets running to the rescue*
so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee now i feel sleepy
Such a treacherous, treacherous post.
When the page loads, all you can see is the top picture, and you say to yourself, “What yawn?”
Of course, as soon as you scroll down, you realize the terrible peril you’re in. But, by then, it’s much too late. Much much much too late.
well it IS Nose-vember…….hehehehehe.
DogEared: You rebel, you! hehehehehe.
In the third pic, the pup kind of looks like Gene Simmons, you know, if Gene Simmons were cute and fuzzy… they call him Dr. Pup.
For me, its the sweet little paw pads!!! I want to touch them!
OH NOES, I’VE BEEN SUCKED IN, (willingly of course !)
Licorice jelly bean toesies, the tiniest of ear nubs and that scrunched up schnozle… I am in love!
PAW PADS… BEEPABLE NOSE…. EAR TO HEAD RATIO… TOUNGAGE… GENERALLY FUZZULAR… I… I just can’t handle this
*waves arms in the air like little pup* Ehn! Ehn!! Cmon everyone!! Say it with me!! Ehn!!
Must. Have. Puppy. NOW.
(Teho? You listening? This puppy —> my Christmas list!)
[Since when do YOU call me "Teho"???
- Ed.]
Itty Bitty Rawr!
What kind of dog is that?
Awwww, it’s so cute!!! *3*
Could be a Norwegian Elkhound or a Keeshond.
Oh, STINKIN’!!!!! [ded]
*sigh* and *my goodness*
Theresa: (squeak, squeak)
Nurse Stef here: Time to come back from the ded now, dear. Sorry to take you away from the pretty lights but you have things yet to do here on Earth.
*administering smelling salts to Theresa. cool compress applied to forehead*
Jazz paws!
(Gasp gasp) Where am I? Oh that’s right, the puppy yaaa-aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!
[ded]
Toebeans + teensy ears + cute tongue + splayed on back yawnage = death by cute. thud.
Wait, just saw the big doggy nose in the lower left corner- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
[ded]
Theresa: Stop this now! Stop it this instance!
And, yes, even puppeh yawns are contagious (*she typed while yawning*)
THIS is why the large hadron collider can not get up and working properly. The cute vortex created by this wee little scap of pup is sucking up all the Higgs bosons and hiding them behind the stubbular ears.
GAH! It has sucked me into a parallel universe! OMG, Spock has a beard!

Cute.
Cannot.
Hold.

[ded]
Oh, yes. He is too cute for words. But can you imagine how adorable he *sounded*? The noises and squeaks and little moans that always come with a puppy-yawn…oh, if only this were a YouTube video.
@browngrl: I am so totally thrilled to know I’m not the only person around who knows about the Hedron. A baguette allegedly dropped by a seagull closed it down recently. Yikes!

Good Heavens!

*Nurse Stef (and the cast of M*A*S*H) administer smelling salts and apply cold compresses to ALL passed out, fainted, swooned, dizzy and ded CO peeps*
I will now proceed to KILL YOU ALL WITH CUTEIMATION.
I barely survived creating and uploading that. ::wheeze wheeze::
Lakota: Wow! Cool! Thankfully, we have everyone stabilized and on IV drips. Do you yourself need medical attention? That wheeze is the first sign of Cutetosis of the things and stuff.
Yawwwsome !
@Lakota…best yawnimation EVAR
Holy leathery, black, soft, essence-of-fritos, toe bean paw pads!
oh Lakota! what you have done! i was trashed by the still shots of the puppeh; NOW I am fixated at the animation! no, no…(thud). ded.
Must compose myself, must pull through, Hugh Jackman, we need you!
Still dizzy, but able to type (sort of) (well, as badly as usual).
Is this little devil kryptonite? Keeshond-Elkhound sound likely choices.
GAAAAACKKKK- Sean Connery, can you help us? Harrison Ford?
This goes to UCONN! (Yeah, he”ll ask for one for Hanukkah, great idea, Mom!)

@dewicasgwent:
thank you.
@dewicasgwent: Who IS that?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I also thank you. Really,
Between the showering hot man and the pup above, I’m not sure I can be resuscitated… *keels over*
Maybe we need a new rule of cuteness about ear to tongue ratio?
BTW, it took me all night to recover. I saw this yesterday evening and have just now crawled back to life.
*peeks one eye open @ dewicasgwent’s .gif*
HEY!!!! I’m back! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! *drools*
Nurse Stef – does anyone need halp in the M*A*S*H unit?

That’s not a pup, that has to be a baby BEAR!!

How ’bout Musical Beds (only w/ no hanky-panky intimacy stuff)???
That way everybody could indulge their Broadway muzik Jones’!!?

I wish there would be a new cute picture.
(glad you liked the ch. bl’s)
Re. new Cute: I know — that’s why I sometimes just stick to the re. emails for several hours & just check here maybe every couple of hours, until something impressive is posted.
By the way — I remembered to ask my mom about the other photo/ ch. blossoms (remember, the one I mailed to you? You asked whether the buildings in the photo were military bldgs onbase? You were abso. correct; they are military bldgs — not residence bldgs, but it was taken onbase, Yokosuka, Japan; mom did remember)
I are ded. this is full of the adorable and the pawscles make it even better. imagine it’s little puppy breath. I heart it.
It’s a gorgeous day and I can’t seem to leave my computer. I’m STILL in love with this pup and can’t decide which picture is cutest.
Is it possible Amy O. could share more pictures of this little guy doing what puppies do best? We need a basis for comparison.
Please, Amy? Pretty please?
That puppy is obviously half bear cub. I call shenanigans.
Seriously, though…wow, damn KEEEEYUTE!
@Shari, you mean peeing on the floor?
@dewicasgwent: Between puppy breath and a man who looks suspiciously like Alexander Skarsgard, I am lost.
I weep.
I sigh.
I die.
@QoD, splain me how you are still on your feet, ministering to all the ded. Are you immune to the cute? Did you get your vaccination before they all ran out?
Theresa: I’ve been overly exposed over the course of my life during torture sessions. (don’t ask) (’cause I haven’t thought of an explanation for that yet). While I’m still vulnerable to the cute, my immune system has been exposed many, many times before so I’m able to look at it, yet wink and help others.

He’s a little Swedish Vallhund puppy, two-weeks old! We’ve been able to visit him on weekends
not even enough ahhhhs to cover it
No teefies yet, too tiny and so new, the paw pads are still buttery soft. I’ll bet they taste just like warm, soft black licorice. I need to eat me some licorice, NOW!
Thud.
OMG….have we determined what kind of pup this is? Must know. What a sweet little baby.
Oops, Amy O, two posts above mine….if only I’d looked above.
He’s a Swedish Vallhund pup — three weeks old in these pictures.
Dear Amy O. and feathered_head-I’ll be right over and we can go see da puppeh, ok? The bag I’m carrying? Oh, just a um, bag for my stuff, you know, um, necessities of life LIKE THAT PUPPEH_ (runs away, well lopes away). Oh, puppeh still needs mommy-I’ll just put you back carefully and stay over the next eight weeks!
I don’t suppose there is a 24hr camera on the litter, is there?
*waves smelling salts under Rainbowbaby’s nose*
Good grief Meg!! Who’da thunk a puppy would cause such chaos?!?
*tries not to scroll up & look @ Puppy McYawnersons*
*fans Rainbowbaby*
Thanks AmyO! I’ve never heard of a Swedish Vallhund before. A googling I go!
Uh oh, looked at the yawner again. *thud* *ded again*
I surrender! Don’t snorgle me!!
ButtaRumCake: Thanks so very much for the help!!!!
*rushes over to treat fearthebear*
ButtaRumCake: If the urge to look at the puppy again overwhelmes you, just jam some smelling salts up your nose FIRST. I have found this to be effective.
OMG!! The Wizard of Oz is on at 8:00 here!!! Wheeeee!!!!! Yay!!!!!!
*the cast of M*A*S*H (and maybe ButtaRumCake and Resriechan) will still be here to assist ded peeps*
@Theresa: I have a feeling this puppy could do just that, and we’d all be entranced. He is that cute.
But I was hoping for more of pictures of him sleeping, napping, and dozing. Or of him getting ready to sleep, nap, or doze. Or waking up from sleeping, napping or dozing. I’m pretty easy to please, any of those would work for me. Easy.
Swedish Valhunden — a very rare breed, indeed. The pupper is cute!
And it is no wonder that dogs are distantly related to bears. Evidence posted in pictures above.
i’m i the only one yawning at the third pic ?
Don’t forget the paws up action – squee! It’s the last deadly ingredient in this fine example of Teh Qte.
We just had Faux Thanksgiving at work today, and I could just snuggle right up with this cutie pie. Trytophan coma in 5…4…3…
I can almost hear the adorable little grunt and tiny growl that accompanied that yawn…Oh, da fatness….paws, nose, butterball body and fat triangle tail…Must have!
I just want to put my face in dat belleh…
More on dis baby’s breed:
The Swedish Vallhund is AKC’s 156th breed.

They also come in three tail styles naturally: No tail-stumpy butt, regular tail and a curling-up the back tail. But they so look like a cross between the Corgi and German Shepherd.
The baby vallhund growl sounds a lot like a tribble.
I must admit that knowing which breed that puppeh is seems much less important than simply sitting back and enjoying the puppeh’s awe-sum anerabilitude. I just want to kiss him, and hold him, and snorgle him, and (wait for it…) call him George! Of course, if it’s a little she-puppeh, I’ll call her George!
Oh what a sweetie!! Puppy Breath is the best! Is this darling Puppeh a Norwegian Elkhound?
OMG!! that is one long tongue but it’s still cute I like the middle one what’s her name?
What breed she sorta looks like a husky.
