Parental Dilemma

Every parent tells her child, “Sweetums, you can be anything you want to be as long as you work hard and set your mind to it…I believe in you!”

So what do you do when you when your child comes to you and says, “Mama, I’s wants to be the first Air Force pilot who also happens to be an albino penguin!”

More confusing than a platypus, Ayen D.

    More like an albino gremlin. Those ears look straight out of the old Bugs Bunny cartoons where Bugs runs into gremlins holding oversized sledge hammers.

    Hey, he can always get a job impersonating rubber chickens.

  2. Sissy says:

    Awwwwwwww-dorable!!

  3. .twist. says:

  4. biscuithead says:

    All I can think of is the “puppy or chicken” video!
    The splayed out front paws do add some grace though.

  5. Kristen says:

    I think he looks like a fryer chicken.

    • Mandy Z says:

      I so thought the same thing lol minus the adorable little head.. she totally totally totally looks like a chicken dinner!

      • jiffknee says:

        Count me in, too. I was remembering instructions on how to carve a chicken . . . to make more snorgable bits of puppeh, er, chicken.

        Do puppehs have a keel bone?

    When the Vaders told Yoda that they’d like to have him over for dinner on Thanksgiving, he had no idea what he was in for.

  7. Lumen Photo says:

  8. Margot says:

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything less aerodognamic.

  9. Theresa says:

    PS: The front legs and the ears are parallel!

  10. J. says:

  13. Rebecca says:

    THE single most adorable thing I’ve seen all week, hands down…I’ll take 3… *picks up pupulence and nonchalantly heads for the door*

  14. ceejoe says:

    lol… I don’t understand how the person could hold the camera long enough to take the photo without (a) falling on the floor laughing, (b) falling on the floor squeeing, or (c) grabbing adorabubble puppeh and squooshing her!

  15. brinnann says:

    After this week I think we are in desperate need for a “Blorpity” tag.

  16. metsakins says:

    I’d tell my child “squee”. If it was my kid, it’d be used to it by now.

  17. LisaL says:

    ROFL…. how is it possible that it looks comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time! Mind boggling!

  18. Gigi says:

    Puppy = adorable!
    Comments = p in pants funny!

  19. ffleur says:

    The perfect position for getting maximum blorpage on cool floor.

  20. Trabb's Boy says:

    You say, “Sweetums, you can be anything you want to be as long as you work hard and set your mind to it…I believe in you!”

    And then you say, “There’s no shame in changing your mind, you know.”

    Man, that thing is cute!!!

  21. (The Original) Mel says:

    I give her a 10 in the blorp competition. Blorptacular.

  22. KatieZ says:

    Ready for take off!

  23. lesley says:

  25. Gaz says:

    Someone put pup in airplane mode.

  26. shannomo says:

    Awww, it must be fat puppy day!

  27. Berg says:

    Is that a baby French bulldog? Whatever it is, it’s certainly potent!

  28. Hyura says:

    it’s a study in symmetry.

  29. Birdcage says:

    cheese-wheelin’ belleh, part deux!!!!

  30. MarvinKatt says:

    I’d say “You can do it! Now go take a nap and dream, dream, dream.”

  31. chercher says:

    looks exactly like how a whole skinned chicken looks like in the supermarket.

  32. Nikki says:

    Bwahahaha! I just LOVE this post. And all of the comments. I am going to refrain from trying to be funny tonight–I’m a little fuzzled and don’t trust myself to be coherent. Had surgery today and am now on a date with Prince Valium. So I came here for some cute to distract me and this little fatso just cracks me up. That is all.

    • Fern says:

      Happy healing! They do say that laughter is the best medicine. I think squeeing takes that to a whole new level. Keep looking at the picture and squeeing and you’ll be fine by tomorro night!

    • O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!! says:

      To Nikki:

      healingness and cool weather with bright sunshine in your direckshon…:)

  34. Martha in Washington says:

    I’d be careful if I were this lil guy…Thanksgiving is only a week away and people like those little turkeys. Surrounded by roasting vegetables and covered in gravy…with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce…Please excuse me, it’s dinner time!

  35. Deanna says:

    …but will this future puppeh pilot gladly submit to the TSA (Tummy Snorggling Administraton) airport checks?? I hope so!!

  36. tweetie says:

    Beluga whale. Puppy-is not.

  37. k says:

    I’m tired of all these puppies in a row, they all look a like. Can’t you separate them with some other animals?

  38. dmaufer says:

    *static* “Sgt. Snorglebelly to tower, come in” *static* “requesting permission to land the dream ship” *static* “over” *static*

  39. mamabear says:

    We call this a ‘full burn’ in our family. When our basset mix assumes this formation, I’ll announce, “She’s in a full burn!” Rather loudly, I might add.

    Them big floppy ears and general basset-y commitment to napping, she’s a SOUND sleeper. So she never hears when I get the gang to “come see”.

    It’s a good (and rare-ish) formation. When you get the chance to behold it, you GOTTA drop what yer doin’ and come look. Kinda like seein’ dolphins in the wild; it never gets un-exciting.

  40. meggy says:

    Looks to me like a waist-whittling floor exercise that builds strength in abdominables and back–its yoga or pilates or isometrics…

  41. snorglepup says:

    The downward dog?

  42. skippymom says:

    Definitely a beluga.

  43. Snoo says:

    Jonathan Livingston Squeegull.

    • Mary (the first) says:

      No, the lying down game says, face down with toes pointed to ground and hands against sides! This puppeh is not conforming to the rules, at all!

  45. Tigress says:

    Zen Buddhist dog. “I have become One with the Hardwood.”

  46. Cambridge Rat Mom says:

    Prongs, this is absolutely over-the-top wonderful, outrageously funny.

  47. spb says:

    “i’m flyyyyyyyyyiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnn!!!!”

  48. kzgz says:

    I must add this:

    Chicken hat

  49. zelaine says:

    With the shadows, at first I thought this pup’s tummy was so very round that his front legs were hanging in the air, unable to get to the floor.

  50. Reese says:

    Is that a puppy? Am I overlooking it as a bunny? The white fur reminds me of my bunnies in their rabbit hutches. And that pose is so adorable. You don’t only look like a bunny but a fried chicken as well. LOL. How can you do that pose? Are you training your pets for Yoga? Just kidding, but he’s so cute.

  51. Gail White says:

    Is this animal alive? I think it should be against the rule to post dead animals on the CO.

    • Sharpy says:

      don’t fear. that will never happen. meaning, there will never need to be such a rule. completely moot. a no-brainer. goes without saying. actually, quite antithetical, really. mutually exclusive states of being. will. not. happen. ever. not now ever or future or has been. ick. you know, unless it’s really, REALLY cute.*

       

       

       

       

       

       

      *j/k (about the last bit, not the other. that’s all true. we’ll never post pictures of dead animals. sleep tight.)

  52. Arv9y says:

    It’s Caturday and there’s no new post. Is everyone OK? I worry about you peeps when I don’t see anything new for a day or 2. Hope everything is all right and tho a bit early, Happy Thanksgiving to all the lovely CO ers

  53. ahdurmdawo says:

    showed husband he said it looks like the pup is ready to be a thanksgiving feast

  54. catmom says:

    Look mom no wings !

  55. I see two faces, not a vase.

  56. yo diggety says:

    One of our cats does this. We call it bat cat. This is clearly a bat dog.

  57. Susan says:

    So cute! But there’s no way that’s comfortable!

  58. Alexa says:

    This is soooo cute! Omg! Your so lucky to have a puppy that adorable! :)
