“Walkies” Are For Amateurs

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on November 20, 2009

I’m going out for “runnies”!  Yep, I’m training for the big 10K run.  Right now, I’m doing my little stretching exercises, and then it’s down to the park and back.

Look at the bright colors on that little one-who, by the way, needs two pairs of tiiiiny running shoes!

2 Grace 11.20.09 at 12:05 pm

ridiculously cute. I squealed! I want to see him walk in those, though!!

3 skippymom 11.20.09 at 12:12 pm

This is insanely cute. But I think he needs to put on his running shorts, if you see what I’m getting at….

4 inktellectual 11.20.09 at 12:14 pm

HOMG *claps hands over mouth so’s not to shriek in glee @ the library*. My mom has 2 boxers & by Ceiling Cat & all His Siamese Seraphim, they are some weapons-grade cute when they are puppies!

5 cheryl 11.20.09 at 12:20 pm

omg. (and lol, skippymom!) that face! like, “what, you don’t think i could lace these by myself??!”

6 Kivrin 11.20.09 at 12:25 pm

My equally adorable dog would bite the crap out of me if I tried to put shoes on her paws. Those are shenanigans up with which she will not put.

7 Kyoto 11.20.09 at 12:27 pm

The best part of the outfit, imho is the little paw prints on the bottom of his tennies.

8 Katiedid 11.20.09 at 12:28 pm

Is there a rule of cuteness about your ears making up 50% of your mass?? There should be!

9 ChrisW 11.20.09 at 12:29 pm

They have little *size 5’s* on the soles! Oooohhhh….. thunk (falls over from excess cuteness).

10 ceejoe 11.20.09 at 12:30 pm

omg, the peenk in the ears, on the muzzlepowsch, and bellee are stunningk!

11 Theresa 11.20.09 at 12:37 pm

BOXIEEEEEESSS!! give me more, give me more!

12 Theresa 11.20.09 at 12:38 pm

RE: Hovertext– reminded me of old “Far Side” cartoon– dog is drinking from garden hose, “wife” dog, paw on hips, says, “SO! Going to roam the neighborhood with a few friends, eh?”

13 Rachael 11.20.09 at 12:40 pm

That is some Olympic quality cuteness going on. I love how his mommy tied double knots on his high tops. *thud*

14 PJ 11.20.09 at 12:42 pm

Bamboo has pretty neat feets but it’s the doggy track suit that just rips me!

15 LovesDogs 11.20.09 at 12:44 pm

OMG!!! I can’t handle the CUTENESS—-*I’m done*

16 Illise 11.20.09 at 12:47 pm

so cuteeeeeeeeeeee its amazing he is not trying to get them off lol, once i had the bad idea of putting a sock in one of my boxer paws cause she had a small cut well let say that there is no more sock lol|

17 skippymom 11.20.09 at 12:48 pm

Meant to say he should put on his boxer shorts. Of course.

18 Lose That Girl 11.20.09 at 12:48 pm

I want to know the secret to keeping booties on your dog.

19 Blondie 11.20.09 at 12:48 pm

Who put the satellite dishes on the poor puppy’s head?!? At least whoever did it was smart enough to put those awesome rubber soled shoes on him so he’s grounded in case there’s a lightening strike.

I hope the cute little bat/puppy grows into his ears! LOL!

20 Berg 11.20.09 at 12:51 pm

I totally agree with Grace: I think we need a video of this little cutie actually walking in those shoes. I predict some high stepping action, along with some foot shaking!

21 Bryn 11.20.09 at 12:52 pm

Unspeakably redonk.

22 Tally 11.20.09 at 12:55 pm

Spots on pink belleh!!!!

*ded*

23 MadameX 11.20.09 at 12:59 pm

No product cuteness?!? But… but… those hightops are almost (almost, but not quite) as cute as the boxerless Boxer puppeh model!

[OK, noted & agreed. - Ed.]

24 Anne 11.20.09 at 1:00 pm

Call RSPCA! This is torture!

25 resriechan 11.20.09 at 1:00 pm

Somebody please contact all Cute Emergency Staff.
We are on Overload of Cute Overload. That is all.

26 Hayley 11.20.09 at 1:04 pm

Pssst.
He’s a frenchie. :P

27 nano's mom 11.20.09 at 1:07 pm

Berg and Grace – have you seen Sweetie in her shoes? (sweetie’s housemate Cooper has been shown eating from chopsticks) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuDHeeTP7MI

28 Illini Jen 11.20.09 at 1:14 pm

Not a boxer.

‘Tis a French Bulldog.

Coloring is right for a boxer, but ears, body and face/head are all wrong. That is a very non-standard Frenchie color. Attribution link has more photos and identifies the pup as a Frenchie.

29 slythwolf 11.20.09 at 1:17 pm

This is a French bulldog, not a boxer. He just happens to have boxer-like coloring.

30 Berg 11.20.09 at 1:18 pm

@nano’s mom: Thanks for the link–I hadn’t seen that! I wonder what Sweetie would do if she had shoes in the front, too?

31 Julia 11.20.09 at 1:28 pm

Reminds me of the videos I’ve seen on youtube! “dog with boots”

32 Saffron 11.20.09 at 1:41 pm

Getting ready for doggie triathlon:
5 miles of chasing sqwirlz
10 miles of running back and forth in the yard while barking at stray molecules
5 miles of rolling through mud puddles

33 Twinkietinydog 11.20.09 at 1:48 pm

ROFL but can you really stand up? I won’t even wear clothes! Good luck with your marathon.

34 Twinkietinydog 11.20.09 at 1:49 pm

ROFL Too cute, but can you even stand up? I won’t even wear my clothes, so you know. I find them restricting.

35 resriechan 11.20.09 at 1:55 pm

@ Saffron:

….”while barking at stray molecules”: Har. dee. Har Har.

In a good way.

36 LisaL 11.20.09 at 2:26 pm

What’s with all the frenchbulldog posts??? Loving it!!!

37 marmar 11.20.09 at 2:39 pm

all baby needs is a sweatband around his head to complete the look

38 AuntieMame 11.20.09 at 2:58 pm

Yeah, but somehow “he needs to put on his Frenchy shorts” doesn’t have the same comedic punch. :)

39 Court 11.20.09 at 3:02 pm

I am in love!!!!

40 resriechan 11.20.09 at 3:21 pm

@ AuntieMame:

Ain’t it aggravatin’, when logical events don’t allow us our comedic turn???????

Poor little doggie… dey don’t usually likes shoesies….

42 Theadosia 11.20.09 at 3:31 pm

@Inktellectual, I am afraid that you have fallen into theological error. Having been acquainted with many Siamese I can firmly state that they are definitely not among the angelic host. Birmans and Himalayans perhaps, and definitely Ragdolls, which maybe where the confusion came in. It can be difficult to verify coat length with strong backlighting from the haloes, but a glance at the faces will usually show the difference.

43 Paunchie 11.20.09 at 3:56 pm

HAHAHAHAAAA! wheeee!

44 nismo 11.20.09 at 4:19 pm

Those shoes are just adorable.

45 BB/VA 11.20.09 at 5:35 pm

Sled dogs wear shoes to protect their feet from ice and snow. And a company provided boots for the dogs working Ground Zero to keep their feet from getting cut up by the debris as they searched the stie.

46 crazyweinerdoglady 11.20.09 at 5:58 pm

Oh I’m glad someone else said something, I was ready comments going “boxer? That’s a frenchie!” lol :) And OMG I want!

47 crazyweinerdoglady 11.20.09 at 5:59 pm

*reading comments….
geez I’m tired

48 peanut's mama 11.20.09 at 6:11 pm

OMG DOGGIE CONVERSE HIGH TOPS!!!!!

AND HOLY BELLY FRECKLES!!!

*DED*

49 Katey 11.20.09 at 6:13 pm

I LOVE HIM!!!

I though French Bulldogs were as cute as they could get but he’s got the PRETTIEST colors of all!

And I love the look on his face- like “ummm I usually trust you guys but what am I supposed to do with THESE THINGS?”

50 Elaine 11.20.09 at 6:18 pm

What is wrong with me? I want/need EVERY puppy you post. Is there a cure for this malady?

51 resriechan 11.20.09 at 7:17 pm

@ Elaine:

ma’am, while we have, unfortunately, *NOT* located an actual cure for this condition, you are at the facility with the optimum care & management of these symptoms. I would like to introduce you to the Head Nurse from our Emergency Dept Nursing Department, Nurse Stef??? She has resucitated *HUNDREDS* of patients back from the *ded*, here at CuteOverload.

52 Queen of Dork 11.20.09 at 7:40 pm

Elaine: Nurse Stef here. Dear, as Resriechan said, there is no “cure” for this mysterious condition. What you are experiencing is simply a strange and widely misunderstood side effect of viewing teh qte. There is nothing wrong with you. It often helps to snorgle some furry/fuzzy/floofy or even blorpular lovable thing.

*squeak, squeak, squeaking of shoes as exiting room*

53 Flavia A. 11.20.09 at 9:34 pm

I’m gonna take this as my b-day present from CO :D
I love frenchies so much… Bamboo’s adorable!

54 Subhangi 11.20.09 at 10:18 pm

PUPPEH CHUCKS!

55 Noelegy 11.20.09 at 11:01 pm

I’m helpless. The puppeh can have anything he wants.

56 Theresa 11.21.09 at 2:03 am

QoD, what exactly is in your shoes to make them so squeaky?

57 Katrina 11.21.09 at 4:44 am

Flavia A. Happy, Happy Birthday, baby!

Theresa- each one has a tiiny vole.

58 Heather 11.21.09 at 7:42 am

Bamboo turned out as a gorgeous adult. It is worth looking through the picture donor’s photos on Flickr.

I lub heem. And Now I understands why peeples whant my Bawstin Tehrier to be a Frinch BullDawg. They always Meestake her for a Frinch Bulldawg. :)

59 dewicasgwent 11.21.09 at 8:39 am

Noticed the 5 on the soles does this mean goggie had to use one of those foot measurers, and when he was trying them on hope he had a clean sock on, don’t want gogggie getting athlete’s foot

60 resriechan 11.21.09 at 9:18 am

@ Heather:
