New Rule of Cuteness: Lazy Ear

In which we appreciate asymmetry in aural appendages, one ear sleeping while the other stands ready, scanning the area for the whirr of can opener or the clink of leash. “No need to get up,” Vigilant Ear might offer, “I know you had another late night, so just take it easy. I’ve got this,” and then quietly mutter “you freeloader.”


Hope to hear from you again, Sodanie Chea.

    Okay, so just what is the process for getting a New Rule? We’ve been trying for ages to get one in re eyebrow dots… no amount of marker-and-glittered posterboard protest signs seems to be working. Is there a formal procedure? Did Schoolhouse Rock make a video on how a Suggestion becomes a Rule?

    Now don’t get me wrong… this here feller is cute and all… but DOTS, people. THAT should be our next New Rule.

    • As an owner of two Rottweilers – one of whom can use her eye spots with devastating effect – I must concur.

      Dog eyebrows = high cuteness art. Needs to be a rule, a tag, and everything else.

    My dog has one of these!
    He also has eyebrow dots, by the way…
    A single look is known to reduce even the most callous person to a cooing pile of mush.
