    I call matchingks. The peenk tongue matches her shirt.

  2. Sammm says:

    Hi Sam!! My name is Sam too!!! =D <33

  3. Wend says:

    And her shirt matches her pink cheeks. Hello Sam! Hello, niece!

  4. RedZ says:

    Hi Sam!

  5. Sweeda88 says:

    And her pink shirt matches her pink lips… yes, we get the idea! =P

    Snug as a pug in a hug!

  9. fly'n bye says:

    Hey there Sam! You’re a cute little puggle!

    Your snuggler looks like a cutie too!

  10. sneezy says:

    awwww, man! i wanna adopt a tongue too! where can i get one??

  11. cherrydumpling says:

    One of the Three Favorite Nieces Ever is obviously very cutting-edge and fashion-forward. Dressing to match the tongue of one’s pug is sure to be all over the Paris runways this fall.

    Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a pug to purchase. I am nothing if not a slave to fashion!

  12. Queen of Dork says:

    Hooray for Niece, Sam and Sam’s tongue! Hey Sam, I have a cat that lives with me and his name is Sam, too!

  13. Noelegy says:

    Aww, hello little Sampug!

  14. danielie says:

    Hi, Sam!

  15. Nikki says:

    All of the little creatures in this photo are adorable!! Congratulations, NTMTOM’s Niece!! (Is this Turtle Girl? How is she, by the way?) Love the tongue and the perky little pupster attached to it!

  16. rachel says:

    aww man nepotism is AWESOME for this reason! Hi Sam!!

  17. hirish says:

    The matchinks part are the two most beautiful smiles!
    Congrats to the happy pupple.

  18. Alex says:

    I HAS A HAPPY

  19. Woofy'sMa says:

    I love it! I want a cute little pink tongue w/pup attached. Sam is a doll.

  20. Theresa says:

    Shouldn’t that be smug as a pug? :P

  21. victoreia says:

    How about “Snug as a smug pug in a hug”?

    Okay, I’ll stop rhyming now; I mean it!

  22. Dash says:

    Hi Sam!! Hi Niece! What a lucky little tongue w/attached pup!! Looks like both the tongue and the pup will be cherished and loved by the aforementioned niece! A happy story!! Nepotism = good!

  23. cheesybird says:

    *waves at Sam and Niece*

  24. ffleur says:

    Looks like these two will have tons of fun together. Reminds me of when I was a girl about that age. I would dress my family’s little fox terrier dog in doll clothes, carry her like a baby and burp her over my shoulder. She was a very stoic dog. Truthfully, I think she enjoyed the attention.

    Congrats niece on your newest best friend.

  25. Martha in Washington says:

    Hi Sam (and pug)!

    @victoreia–anybody want a peanut?

  26. caligirl says:

    hi sam! hi niece! hi uncle NOMTOM! (since we’re sayin hi to everyone) *beep!* …. any time a cute doggie sticks its tongue out like that, it makes me want to try to (gently) pull on it. you go at them w/ the thumb and index finger like in pinch mode, and either they just lick you or the tongue disappears. gets me everytime! (ok i’ll admit it… i’m weird… =P )

  27. AuntieMame says:

    Aw, hi Sam! Hi Niece! You’re both adorable!

  28. Kar says:

    That grin on puppy’s face sort of says it all.

    “I’ve got it good.”

  29. Edward says:

    Love the look on the pup’s face. ‘This life thing…it seems to be a constant stream of people cuddling me and giving me things! Yay!’

  30. Hila says:

    That is one happy pup! :D Hi Sam!

  31. Katrina says:

    About the clothing…another pug gets dressed, ummmmm, yeah, ok…. I guess it is inevitabubble.

    Sam is adorable you seem to have a Niece of Perfection here! How is your niece who had the back issues? Is this she? Cute as a button! Cute little doggett. too. Best wishes to them both.

  32. Rachael says:

    Hi Sam and Niece! You are both awesome and full of adorabuhls. Many, many years of joy to both of you. BFF.

  33. Cholmondeley says:

    OK, you’ve told us the tongue’s name, but what is the puppeh’s name?

  34. whiskers says:

    That pic really is the definish of I has a happy!

  35. DogEared says:

    Hi Sam! Hi Niece! looks like they’ll be enjoying many hugs thru the years! Congrats!

  36. cambridge_rat_mom says:

    One would expect no less from a relative of a CO-er! Keeping it in the family–perhaps it’s genetic?

  37. Dona says:

    Hi, Sam! You look pretty pleased with your new situation. Well, you should be. :-)

  38. Saffron says:

    HI Sam! You are adorabuhls!

  39. Andi from NC says:

    Very cute pup and clearly well-loved! He looks very happy!

  40. Heather and the Boston Terriers says:

    If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands…
    If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands…
    If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it, just…SMILE.

    Congrats on the Puppi-O.
    Cutie!!!

    Well hello thar, Sam! I see you are a puggle in a huggle being cuddled! And how very clever of you to grow an arrow on your forehead to point the way directly to your mouf, just in case anyone ever gets lost on the way to inserting treats. Very schmart!

  56. udosero says:

    I like how the eyes are blue instead of red.

  57. nismo says:

    Exactly what I was thinking. A pair of blues in a sea of red and pink.

  58. (I'll do anything NTMTOM tells me. Anything.) says:

  63. jake says:

    disoriented.

  65. Kayla says:

  66. Noelegy says:

    I believe this pup is in danger of being spoiled.

  67. Rooanne says:
