We’re in a bind, here:
File under “C” for “cuddle”
Or “S” for “snorgle”?

<3 those ears. So snorfleable.

2 Marianne 11.20.09 at 5:08 am

I wish there was a corgi puppy in the stacks at my library!!

3 Luha 11.20.09 at 5:14 am

I love how they placed that cute puppeh, in the doggie section of the library.

4 wildviolette 11.20.09 at 5:17 am

It’s very important to read to your kids when they are young. This corgi will score high on her ACTs and SATs in a few years!!

5 Anne 11.20.09 at 5:21 am

Meet the future Doc Dog :]

6 Colleen 11.20.09 at 5:32 am

The bookend pup says:
If you return your late books
I return your soul

11 georgina0912 11.20.09 at 5:52 am

Hmmmm, i have seen those books at the library, yes siree. The ones where you have to pull a leg and then the tongue sticks out, or push the nose and then the doggie makes shifty eyes. Yes, i remember those. But this one looks very real….where can i get one of these…hmmm….books?

By the way, nicely stacked bookcase :)

12 ceejoe 11.20.09 at 5:56 am

13 Birdcage 11.20.09 at 6:12 am

OMG pink inner earsies matchingks to pink collar!!!! *ded*

14 Rachael 11.20.09 at 6:16 am

I don’t think I have any haiku in me today but I sure have a boatload of adorabuhls on my plate. Heavens to Betsy! I’ve come to believe that corgi pups are just about the cutest things on earth. <3

15 Rose 11.20.09 at 6:19 am

OMG! *ded* What a great way to start the morning!

16 J. 11.20.09 at 6:20 am

I give this post an “A” — for Arf-ul cute!

What a great picture! And very cleverly styled.

17 Decadent Prince 11.20.09 at 6:25 am

Where is the highres image of the Library Corgi that desktops can be made from?

18 Nathan 11.20.09 at 6:29 am

How about “D” for “delightfully dog-eared” Considering puppeh is on a bookshelf.

19 DanS 11.20.09 at 6:35 am

Hmmm, that book looks a bit dog earred to me.

20 Courtney S. 11.20.09 at 6:42 am

Please file under “C”
For Cuddle-able Corgi:
Best bookends ever.

21 Laura 11.20.09 at 6:43 am

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, he’s adorable !!!

22 Gigi 11.20.09 at 6:46 am

Yeah!!! my two favorite things in the world, books and Corgis!!!!

23 Rachel 11.20.09 at 6:49 am

I think this is Ruby of Herbie and Ruby…

Dewey Decimal Delight
Angel in the Stacks

30 Jenn 11.20.09 at 7:24 am

There’s nothing better
Than curling up with a good
Pup. Oops, I mean, book.

(Actually, both, but I couldn’t make that part fit.)

31 Kris 11.20.09 at 7:27 am

Those eyes are REDONK. I’ve never even used that word before, but I cannot find another one better.

32 lala 11.20.09 at 7:28 am

no need to study
all i need is love and food
you will do just fine!

33 Bee 11.20.09 at 7:31 am

Instead, just use the
Library of Congress sys-
tem. Problem solved now!

34 Metz 11.20.09 at 7:33 am

37 Resriechan 11.20.09 at 7:35 am

(Got nothin’ of my own Haiku)

1 Vote for KittyAdventures for tha WIN

(But one vote ea to everyone else for tha LUV for Corgi Pups & esp for Corgi Eeeeerrrzzzzzz!!!)

38 MonaLisaV 11.20.09 at 7:36 am

Oh, he is a darlin’, and looks like my Corgi did when he was liddle!!!

39 Resriechan 11.20.09 at 7:37 am

(PS: I’m just a bit worried about the slightly anxious expreshe in the pup’s eyes…)

40 fabricpile 11.20.09 at 7:39 am

That’s “R” for RUBY! http://herbieandruby.wordpress.com.

Thanks for the Cute Overload love!

41 Carla 11.20.09 at 8:03 am

OMG *dead*

New bestseller in town
Fluffy cover, soft inside
One warm copy left

Best haiku so far, IMO = kittyadventures
you inspired me to write my first haiku on CO!

42 d 11.20.09 at 8:17 am

where is this redonkulous place that allows dogs in the library?? MUST GO NOW

43 fabricpile 11.20.09 at 8:20 am

Ruby’s mom used to be the library director. It’s a small town library in Indiana.

44 Katrina 11.20.09 at 8:25 am

Ahhhhhhhh, so niiiice. Now, if anyone is seeking information on how Corgi’s think, it won’t be found in any one dog or cat book; Corgies are a hybrid of dog and cat.

“Killer” says hello, woof and meow!

Thanks for teh Corgula pup! Chop, nom, nom, chew, chew chew…etc.

45 Katrina 11.20.09 at 8:26 am

46 Katrina 11.20.09 at 8:28 am

I’m been having trials and tribblelations first accessing CO and then commentsing- sorry for the double post, but I thought you should know about the problemski, it may be happening to other Peeps!

47 jujube 11.20.09 at 8:33 am

Corgi puppy! Corgi puppy! Corgi puppy! *thud* (i am ded)

48 DaytimeDeb 11.20.09 at 8:34 am

Palin’s book on shelves
Apocalypse averted
Corgi saves the day

49 DaytimeDeb 11.20.09 at 8:39 am

Forgot to add:

GASP, SQUEE, OMG
I SPY A CORGI PUPPY!!!
WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT!!

Ok calm again.

50 Library Lady 11.20.09 at 8:44 am

People, people.

Please.

*pushes up libearian glasses*
*shushes pile of rowdy kittens in the corner*

You’d file this puppeh under 636.737.

51 Katrina 11.20.09 at 8:44 am

I know that not even Killer would chew that book-I can’t even say it… she got a book contract and Berthaservant, Von Zep,Theresa, Tony James, Saffron, T.U.M. and so many others could do sooo much more for society should they have a book, it just isn’t fair. Feh.

52 Theresa 11.20.09 at 8:50 am

@LibraryLady: Excellent! When I was in library school, one of our final assignments in cataloguing class was to catalog a Shih Tzu. mrgreen:

53 Lindsayla 11.20.09 at 8:53 am

CUTE!!!!!! Redonkulously cute! The eeny little legs and those EARS!!! Seriously, I want THAT for Christmas!!!

@ Deb: haha! I agree (with both comments).

54 DaytimeDeb 11.20.09 at 8:57 am

Fabricpile, Thank you for the link to Herbie and Ruby! I love all the pics, especially the one of Herbie as a pup, upside down in the girl’s lap. Oh, precious-ness at it’s peak!

55 freetomato 11.20.09 at 9:03 am

fuzzy puppy book
in the soft cover version
find in “short stories”

56 freetomato 11.20.09 at 9:04 am

btw – Recently finished “Merle’s Door” (pictured in post). Excellent dog-lover book (as is “The Art of Racing in the Rain”)

57 Lindr 11.20.09 at 9:15 am

Still, I sit and wait
Who will choose me? I’m the one!
But just for 5 days.

–They never let you borrow the special things for long enough. Darn!

58 Stephanie 11.20.09 at 9:16 am

OMG Cute!

How about N for Nubz? All Corgi should have the name (or nickname) Nubz because of their nubbular feets and tail.

59 Suzanne 11.20.09 at 9:16 am

bark bark bark bark bark
woof woof woof woof woof woof woof
brain dead from teh cute!

60 gizmo 11.20.09 at 9:18 am

Clean up on aisle five
Too many books on the shelf
Not enough puppehs

61 Nancy 11.20.09 at 9:45 am

BEEEEP!!!!

62 Shannon 11.20.09 at 9:55 am

I just got Merle’s Door from my library this week!

63 skippymom 11.20.09 at 9:59 am

Outside of a dog
A book can be man’s best friend.
Inside of a dog
[it's too dark to read anyway.]

(Who knew Groucho Marx expressed himself in haiku?)

64 Emerson 11.20.09 at 10:01 am

Winter MUST-HAVE

67 resriechan 11.20.09 at 10:19 am

@ Librarylady (comment #50):

1) Nice spectacles, there!!
2) Other solution, common to Librariology: “Cross-Reference”. Ya puts a little comment tag or card at BOTH “C”/ cuddle AND at “S”/ snorgle.

(“It’s tres amusant, watching these neophyte CO librariologists on their first assignments, eh, Librarylady?”)

68 Bonnie 11.20.09 at 10:24 am

in love….again!

69 Elisha B. 11.20.09 at 10:28 am

How about S for SWEET!!!? Who knew libraries could be so much fun? (I did ’cause I work in one :)

70 Katrina 11.20.09 at 10:33 am

The look is not of anxiety – it is Corgi curiosity! Killer does that at sounds unfamiliar and displays no doggie (nor kitteh) anxiety symptoms and she’s a neurotic mess!
NO, this is a curious Corgi, probably wondering what the camera and camera person were doing. All is well, all is bright. And really, really cute! And if there is a tail involved, it is a Cardigan and if there isn’t it is a Pembroke. Killer is a Cardigan, (the one with the buttons), and a very long, thick, muscular tail of swwwwwwish!

71 ceejoe 11.20.09 at 10:41 am

@freetomato (#56) – “The Art of Racing in the Rain” yes! awesome book!
so I guess not all my books are about cats. I also have When Elephants Weep, The Good Good Pig, … but I am sensing a theme here…

72 catloveschanel 11.20.09 at 11:03 am

Books, Corgis, Chanel

73 catloveschanel 11.20.09 at 11:04 am

These are a few of my fav -or
ite things. When the dog

74 mfar 11.20.09 at 11:10 am

Where can I get a set or two of that bookend!

75 KittyMarthaPoo 11.20.09 at 11:25 am

To heck with the books. I wanna check out the Corgi pup! But I might return him overdue… I’ll be too busy snorgling :)

76 Momcat 11.20.09 at 11:38 am

Cute Doggie Howser
Studies up on medicine.
Soon: lick and make well.

77 Ann 11.20.09 at 11:55 am

Look it’s the same dog as on the spine of “How Dogs Think” next to him… he must be doing book signings today.

78 Alessandra 11.20.09 at 12:02 pm

Such a cutie!

79 Kiragirl 11.20.09 at 12:25 pm

C is for Cuddles
O is for cute Overload
R is for Rubbing bellies
G is for puppy Grrrrr

80 cheryl 11.20.09 at 12:25 pm

those eyes!!! i have every book on that shelf but one! and yet, i just checked, and no redonkulously cute corgi pup!!! how is that fair??? is there a corgi kindle?

81 Rachael 11.20.09 at 12:42 pm

Hmmm, I wonder if I can download that onto my Kindle.

82 Rachael 11.20.09 at 12:43 pm

Oops, I just noticed that cheryl mentioned the kindle. I wasn’t copying – I was just momentarily dazed and confuzzled. :D

83 Blondie 11.20.09 at 12:59 pm

BEEP!

84 Shari 11.20.09 at 1:00 pm

For some reason, I thought of this old Far Side cartoon. Not totally topical, but maybe a little.

@ Skippymom:

Do you keep your Nobel prize, beside the Pulitzer Prize, on your shelving unit?
Or do you have things in separate categories; philosophy awards on one shelf & literary prizes on another shelf?

86 Tigress 11.20.09 at 1:18 pm

Beware drool damage.

87 skippymom 11.20.09 at 1:22 pm

Resrie, actually they’re all in a box in the storage closet. Too many of ‘em to efficiently organize and display, don’t you know. Each new one that comes in, I just toss it in the box. One of these days I hope to get on top of that project.

88 Joools 11.20.09 at 1:35 pm

can’t beat a corgi
stubbular cuteness factor
chanpon beat me to the punch(line)!

89 cafegrrl 11.20.09 at 1:50 pm

Corgi cuteness!!!

“Fierce wolf, stack prowler!
Five nine nine seven seven!
No ear nomming! Rawwrr!”

I don monocle:
Five nine one dot three nine squee:
Bebbeh annimules!

Nom ear, file Corgi:
Zero seven six one one
Five five three two five.

[Um, actually, it's 978-0-7611-5310-8 on my copy. For real. Now, that's for the desk calendar; the wall calendar is 978-0-7611-5532-4 ;) - Ed.]

91 kodalai 11.20.09 at 2:01 pm

Perhaps “c” for “corgle?” a corgi snorgle?

[Works for me! - Ed.]

92 resriechan 11.20.09 at 2:08 pm

@ Skippymom:

I might have some time available, in my Organizational Consultation Schedule. Let’s see — How does Wednesday afternoon Dec. 9th look, in your Agenda? I see a little downtime that day, after picking up my groceries at the Fuud Bank.

93 dub1 11.20.09 at 2:09 pm

Dammit!
Thanks, whoever’s Ed’ing, and curse you, Amazon, who told me:
Product Details
Publisher: Workman Publishing Company (July 30, 2009)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0761155325

Takes deep breath, shakes it off, warms up counting fingers, and:

NINE SEVENTY EIGHT
OH SEVEN SIX ELEVEN
FIVE THREE ONE OH EIGHT

five/seven/five with ABA ‘rhymes’: Jazz hands!

[I wonder if "ISBN-10" is different from the regular ISBN? Anyhow, good show. :D - Ed. (Theo!)]

94 skippymom 11.20.09 at 2:39 pm

ISBN haiku! This is the coolest thing I’ve seen lately! dub1, you are WICKED clever!

95 Library Lady 11.20.09 at 2:40 pm

*tucks kleenex into sleeve of Northern Reflections ‘kittens in a winter scene’ sweater*
*adjusts fimo theme earrings*

ISBN 10 was developed in the 1970s, and was based on the 9-digit UK standard. Since about 2007, ISBNs contain 13 numbers and are generally considered universal.

*returns to shelf of badly disorganized corgis*

96 skippymom 11.20.09 at 2:40 pm

And Theo, ISBNs used to have ten digits, now they have thirteen for newer items.

97 kristen 11.20.09 at 2:41 pm

The best bookend I have evar seen!

98 skippymom 11.20.09 at 2:42 pm

Oops, Library Lady got there first, and gave a more thorough explanation. (steps out of the way)

[Hehe :) - Ed.]

99 resriechan 11.20.09 at 2:50 pm

(I’m just relieved, to find that all these uber-Cuteness Librariologists managed *NOT* to step across my personal — & most probably irrational — line in the Acronym Dust by saying/ writing “ISBN NUMBER” ……akin to ATM “Machine” or VIN “Number” ….)

100 The Go Green Blog 11.20.09 at 2:51 pm

OMG…that puppy dog is so cute!!!!

101 AuntieMame 11.20.09 at 3:43 pm

Okay, somebody write a haiku in binary, please!

And it’s filed under “A,” of course!

(“I file most things under ‘A’–A letter, A sales report, A customer’s complaint.”)

102 resriechan 11.20.09 at 3:48 pm

(*affectionate snerk to Auntie Mame’s logic !!*)

103 dub1 11.20.09 at 4:11 pm

Sigh, I knew the binary request would come.

OK, folks: pre-nuff-tive strike: there are eight digits per binary alphabet letter, so for a five-seven-five haiku, we wouldn’t get to two letters, so I’m throwing out the first two digits, which are all the same. So I’m squeeeezing two six-digits and five that ends in a dot for a period, so we get three letters.
[has nurse swab my sweating forehead like a surgeon in 'Fantastic Voyage'].
I’m going in!

Dot one dot dot dot .

Checked out but never returned to the library!!!! Kisses.

105 Kitty Lady 11.20.09 at 5:21 pm

I want to check out a puppy at the library!

106 Alice 11.20.09 at 6:58 pm

File S for snorgling???
What about N for nomming?
I think that’s better

107 Alice 11.20.09 at 6:59 pm

I just realized I’m abnormal because I tend to say ‘file’ with two syllables, and I sat here going, ‘THAT’S ONE EXTRA SYLLABLE.’ Then I realized I’m just weird.

108 resriechan 11.20.09 at 7:30 pm

@ Alice:

probably, either you’re actually *from the South* or you love someone deeply, who is from the South. In either of those cases, ANY syllable or word can be subdivided into many, many more syllables, than a written dictionary shows …..

When I was in H.S. (in Virginia), there were two French professors. One of them was from a French-speaking area of Canada & he was constantly playfully prodding the other lady, who had attended college in the South. He used to claim, that she came from the South of France (not at all true).
She herself *ALWAYS* referred to her college in the following manner, all pronounced *AS ONE* very drippy, molasses-y syllable:

“Yooonivuhsuhteeenawthcaroliynachapulheeyulllllllll”………

(which can be transliterated into standard English as:
“University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill”.)

115 Dozer 11.22.09 at 5:03 am
