Growing Up Is Hard

Your favorite things are too small, and people don’t think you are quite as cute as you used to be. You can’t even be a lapdog anymore cuz you’ve outgrown all the laps.


Ant finds some good ones!

    Awww, I love German Shephard pups, their ears never seem to know what to do.

  2. RosieLB says:

    I still fit. You do not know what you are talking about.

  3. mindadale says:

    D’waaa….! Love this one.

  4. Chelsea says:

    He’s a perfectly fine lap dog! They’re supposed to take up the WHOLE lap.

    • lggbie says:

      absolutely! sometimes they take up your lap and someone else’s lap (see: my Pyrenees) but they are still a lap dog!

      • doomchild says:

        It’s very, very irresponsible to have a big dog if you don’t have a lap to fit it! Where is that poor goggie going to sit then, huh?

      Perfect lap dog for the smallness challenged. For those who find the so called ‘lap dogs’ to be more of palmtops.

  5. Berg says:

    You can sit in my lap any time, pup!

  6. skippymom says:

    My lap would never be too small for him.

  7. wiven says:

    The only possible explanation is that the bed shrank. *nods sagely* You agree, right, Mini-me doll?

  8. Rachael says:

    It’s a butt bed!

  9. Holly Wolf says:

    Oh ahar! What a cute baby…looks like he outgrew his onesie.

    “I still fit! See!” Sure you do, sweetie..

    Adolescent pups are the best, still goofy and uncoordinated and unaware their legs are twice as tall as they used to be.

    • Berg says:

      And often they still have to grow into their ears, too. Now I really want a dog–a nice, big dog like this one!

  11. Emmylee says:

    awwww PUPPPY!!!! look at those big feets! and those ears :)

  12. Gigi says:

    Big doggies always think they are lap dogs. I once drove (well my husband was doing the actual driving) from Kingston to Montréal ( 167 miles / or 268.7 Kilometers) in a Volkswagon Beetle with an Old English Sheep dog on my lap!

    • Ali-Baba says:

      Testify! I used to babysit for people who had a Great Dane. After the kids were asleep, Elsa would come sit in my lap, with her front paws on the floor & her booty in my lap. Did I mention she was a Great Dane?! She was a big ol’ sweetie! :-)

    • Tigress says:

      A friend of mine owns a Rottie named Mozart (or Mo for short). Mo can sit on three laps at the same time. Now THAT’S a lap dog!

  13. tracylee says:

    eeeeeeeeee!!

    Waaaaaannnntttt the pupppehhhhh!

    *ahem* sorry y’all. you seem to have found my weakness…

  14. Milva poemas says:

    haha poor thing is true is hard to grow, the responsibilities that you take every time we grow up = (

  15. Legotech says:

    Holy puppy beds! That dog is going to need a MUCH larger bed before he’s done growing into those feets and earses

  16. Marie says:

    ROTFL!! These big-dogs-on-tiny-beds are fast becoming one of my faves!

  17. Travis says:

    Immediately thought of the “butt bed” post!

    German Shepherds are my absolute favoritest doggies!

  19. Moi, Actually says:

    The stuffie on the left is to provide scale, no doubt. As in, I used to BE this, now I CHEW this.
    And, by the way, “Lap” is a virtual space.

  20. Annie says:

    Reminds me of my 92 lb., 9 mo. old “baby” Akita, Sam. He has no idea that he is not a baby anymore and therefore he cannot fit his entire body in your lap and get ear skritchies. He also has paws the size of manhole covers and legs that go 4 different directions at the same time!

  21. Lydia says:

    Awwwww! Mr. Doggieface, you are positively ADORABLE.

  22. Lauren in Georgia says:

    What you can’t see is the cat the bed really belongs to – because she is underneath the pup.
