Knobbular Enough There For Ya?

I see we got some darn fine knobullarity here, wouldn’tcha say?


So, this is Molly when she was a bebeh. Mama didn’t let Molly nurse, so those nice Tufts Veterinary Medicine peeps down there fixed ‘er right up. Ya sure, the neck bandage was for her catheter, don’tcha know. Well, Molly’s three and a half years tall now and she’s doin’ just okie dokie!

    Tufts Veterinary School is where I currently am getting my masters degree! Too bad I wasn’t here to see the cutie!

    • Bettymouse says:

      Hey pandalover! I worked at the Tufts Vet school many moons ago, when it was still in Boston. The library I worked at served the medical, dental, and veterinary students… and the vet students were the BEST! Good luck with your studies!

    • Saffron says:

      Yay! Vets are the best. My elder orange tabbeh is not doing too well :( so we have been seeing a lot of the vet lately. Vets do such an important job. *hugs*

      • ceejoe says:

        Sending warm hugs and thoughts to your boy, Saffron. I have an older orange & white tabbeh, but he is hanging in there ok so far…

      • Emmberrann says:

        @Saffron: Sorry your orange tabby is not at peak form. I send prayers and good wishes for your bff (best fuzzy friend) to feel better. ((Saffron))

    Holy guacamole, what a beautiful, adorable bebbeh! I’ve taken a couple of dogs to Tufts Veterinary (to a variety of specialists over the years) and I know they do fantastic work.

    Two reactions:

    1) What a cutie!! I just want to kees heeeerrrrrrrrr!!!

    2) Waitaminute… She is the spitting image of Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory! Now I don’t want to kiss her anymore, I just want to smirk and say “Bazinga!”

    • Mary (the first) says:

      I have to agree totally with #1 above, and mostly with #2 except that even acknowledgeing he looks like Sheldon, I still want to kees her! :)

  5. Cate Plant says:

    So I went to read the news article on this beautiful bebeh and was surprised to see she was born at the beginning of 2009, 3.5 years ago. Weird. Are you re-featuring her or have you just gotten around to it?

  6. Fird Birfl says:

    (If I”m remembering whar that accent/ dialect is from …)

  9. meltinsmush says:

    heehee… the two widdle tufts of fur on her hed are so sillee.

  10. Meaghan says:

    Lovin’ those huge eyes in their capsules. Plink plink.

  11. Oceanview says:

    I’m SOOO envious of how she can fold up her legs, I have a hard time with my yoga poses. Dang, my hips just won’t go any further.

    • Meaghan says:

      Early this year I met a woman who could lie flat on her back and, maintaining that position and not even lifting her head off the floor, lift her legs up and over and put her feet on the floor behind her head. She was 86 years old and had been doing yoga daily since the age of fourteen.

  12. First I fall 6′ or more as a welcome to the world, and then my mama wouldn’t let me feed? Sure, she was pregnant for more than 13 months, but still. All I can say is harumph!

  13. Decca says:

    Anybody who is a San Francisco Giants fan would know this guy is Brandon Belt. (Baby Giraffe is his nickname.)

    Question: Knobbular enough there for ya?
    Answer: Nope, need MORE!!

  15. sleekityin says:

    Wow! That’s a quantum knobbularity – not sure the inertial dampeners can cope.

  16. Catsquatch says:

    Knobbular sure.
    But those LEEPS are what get me!

  17. 9symphony9 says:

    I never saw a little giraffe. You can tell even know he will be tall.

  18. Legotech says:

    That look of disapproval would put a bun to shame!!

  19. noellesbootcutkittenpants says:

    I love how the spots fade away as they go down her legs. Subtle beauty.

  20. sugitomo says:

    Ermahgerd! Whert a cert berber gererf!

  21. murkle46 says:

    Sheldon Cooper or E.T.?

  22. pyrsrule says:

    Um, don’t y’all (original commenters and current) mean Yoda? That’s what I see every time I look at her!!

    Just made her my desktop photo – it will be a long time before this cutie stop making me smile at her.

  23. pupfanatic says:

    That bandage around her neck could be a new fashion statement, ya know, like a choker or a fancy scarf. Something to match her pattern.

    Oh, and that face! That body! Amazing how folding herself up like a box is actually comfy. Silly giffaleeez!

  24. lvasic says:

    The lips…they kill me!

  25. freetomato says:

    She looks like Harry Shearer to me, but beautiful

    • Rachael says:

      I can’t believe I didn’t catch that myself. I’m not even sure what’s so Harry Shearer about the face, but it definitely is. :)
