Having a staring contest with Edgar was like playing paddy-cake with an octopus – it was the most disconcerting few minutes you’ll ever experience. He seemed to meet my gaze, yet each eye also seemed to look due east and west simultaneously…
That’s some powerful peripheral vision, Dan T. Photo by Karin.
Lor we’re geeks.
Very cute puppy. My guess that both Conan and Andy would succumb to the puppy cuteness before anything else.
look here! no, over there! no, wait, here!
I lose.
<3 the ear flapping
I could stare at that cuteness all day.
Wherever I move, the eyes seem not to follow.
so sweet… twooo wuv! (sending from my kindle!)
The lil puppers has a 270 degree field of vision.
I have a lazy eye and it wanders when I get tired, too! (*snerk*)
PUG PUP! PUG PUP! PUG PUP! SQUEEEEEEE!
(Ya know, I tried to read what I just wrote, and it’s actually kind of a tongue twister!)
Awwwww!
Potentially, a great shortstop–he can keep an eye on first and third at the same time, while playing close to second.
I’d like to order an Admiral Akbar to go with my treatment please! Much better than those anti-nausea lollies they dole out.

I spy tummy chub!
Gahh! So ickle! Squeeeee!
Those earflaps are too, too moishe!
*SNORKS at hovertext* I KNEW he looked familiar.
I’m not a dog person but I have to say, pictures like that make me want to get a wee puggle, even if it would drive my kitties crazy.
IT’S A TRAP!!
I want to beep his nose but cannot find it……………
I think hes looking at me! I imagine him starting to speak.
hmmm, this could be the reason I can’t stare down Lulu–I’m making eye contact with her, but she’s so wall-eyed that I don’t know where she’s looking…
oh and PUG PUPPY!!!ELEVEN!
I had to look up Admiral Akbar, dont telle anyone or they’ll take away my geek membership card.
I want the puppy!
I can’t win can I?
Admiral Akbar? Like Akbar and Jeff?
[No no. Lucas, not Groening. Big red catfish head, no fez. - Ed.]
lol, I just googled admiral akbar too…
All these young-uns googling Admiral Akbar? Does that mean no one gets “It’s a Trap” either? Sigh…
lezlee – I got the Admiral Akbar reference right away AND I loved your “It’s a trap!” comment. Of course, I’m not one of the young-uns either. . .
Either that is one freakishly ginormous hand or one exceptionally wee puppeh!!! It’s like a breathing beanie baby…
At 44, I don’t think I qualify as a “young’un” but I confess I had to look it up, too.
Chalk it down more to “completely out of touch with pop culture” rather than youth and inexperience.
Strabismus is cute.
Lezlee, I “get” Admiral Akbar / ITS A TRAP! Although I’m 28 and maybe that doesn’t count as young anymore?
Catfish head? Nonono! Admiral Akbar is of the race Mon Calamari, that would be squiddyfolk!
[I know the implied backstory. I'm just describing what I see. - Ed.]
Akbar!! (chuckle)
Does this mean I officially have to show my “geezer geek” badge?
We won’t last long against those Star Destroyers!
Here is the site this pic is from, enjoy! http://www.pugsnuggle.com
My eyes can’t resist cuteness of that magnitude!
[EXACTLY - Ed.]
CUTE!! can i have him!!!!!??
*hands Suzanne a puppy and gives her hugs*
@Suzanne…let me give the puppers and quick squeeze and then I will gladly pass him along to you to make you feel better!
it seems nature creates babies looking so cute for us to want to protect them. this one is just amazing and sweet
I read the “Star Wars” novelizations before I ever heard of calamari being served as an edible. So the first time a date took me to Red Lobster and he ordered calamari, I was all, “…Akbar? Is that you?”
Pugs always seem confused to me and it has to do with the eyes, although not in the way that you’d think. It’s like they can’t make up their little puggy minds if they want their eyes to be on front or on opposing sides of the head. They want the improved field of view but just can’t take their paws off the binoculahz summatiuhns. Indecisiveness is not cute! We need commanding cuteness leaders!
Little-known fact: Admiral Akbar was based on the baby from “Eraserhead.”
And was also played by former baseball great Willie McGee.
(One of these facts may actually be true).
