Joanne V: “These are the loves of my life Hamlet (the fawn pug on the left) and Ignatz (the black pug on the right). This is their first Christmas picture together from a few years back. I think Hamlet looks like a Dead End Kid in his over-sized sweater, but it’s so adorable how he’s giving Ignatz Christmas Kissies! Pick us, Maxie, pick us!!!!!” [Done. -Ed]

Here’s Monty from Megan B.

Pansywreath
Elaine L. sent these in, with the explanation: “Pansy the Boxer just had some (minor, planned) surgery and has been rocking the inflatable donut to keep her chewer away from her stitches. We thought we’d try something a little more festive. Pansy was not amused.”

Andrea V: “This is one of our four cats. His name is Maybe. He was lucky enough to be featured on CuteOverload a few years back as a wee kitten licking Dr. Phil – one of our other cats. There was quite the thread mostly bashing us for naming our cat Dr. Phil! Hilarious.”

butters
Danielle L.: “I am sending you a picture of my French/English bulldog mix, Butters. We decided to take family Christmas pictures this year. He tends to be over-excited for these festivities.” [We can tell. -Ed]

Flynn the Hedgehog

P1130050

Jenn S.: “This is Flynn The Hedgehog and Betty The Beaver, who live at the OC Zoo. They are dressed up in holiday finery. The OC Zoo is operated by OC Parks in Orange County, CA, and they mainly have critters who were abandoned, confiscated, or who could otherwise not live on their own in the wild. It’s like an entire zoo of ResQte! The wonderful folks at the OC Zoo take some of the littler guys out into the public to teach kids and other groups about wildlife. It is a wonderful facility, and of course the staff get to play with these cuties all day.” [What? Where do I sign up? -Ed]

    Raspberry the Weasel. That is all.

    (actually, it’s not. Why no hovertext on Maybe the cat?)

  2. ceejoe says:

    Betty the Beaver!!
    And I noticed the lack of hovertext for Maybe too…

  3. Rachael says:

    1. I don’t know why anyone would have a problem with a cat named Dr. Phil.
    2. I’ve been in loff with Jay (first pic, serious tongue action) for a long, long time.
    3. Beavers have hands? Why did I not know this?!
    4. I loff each and every one of these critters.

  4. Coffee Cup (now with more bunnies) says:

    Rachael, I also had to go back to the other thread to see what the fuss was for a cat named Dr. Phil. It’s a funny name for a cat. Also, have you not seen the hilarious video of a beaver waving at a kid? The hand/paw action is great.

    • Rachael says:

      That video is great!! I never knew beavers had so much personality. I have so much to learn about so many animals I’ve often taken for granted.

    • ceejoe says:

      :) little kid looks up like, What are you laughing about, just bein’ friendly here!

  5. skippymom says:

    I want a beaver.

  6. Judy B. says:

    Maybe is GORGEOUS! I must try mimicking that picture with my own Big Fat Orange Cat.

  7. Jay! Extremely cute as always I see! :)

  8. fleurdamour says:

    Hedgies don’t need hatpins! They gots their own.

  9. Nikki says:

    Jay is my all time favorite CO anipal! I love him to bits! And that’s saying something because I adore Maru, Daisy, Boo, Goose and the rest of the gang, but none of them melt my heart like Jay. I’m a sucker for his goofy mug.

  10. allein says:

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen beaver feet before. They kinda freak me out…

    • hilz says:

      Me too! I had no idea what that thing was… then it made sense… but it still is weird for a cute fuzzy thing that is not a duck to have duck feet.

  11. lisaLASSIE says:

    Beavers don’t need cleavers to cleave trees.

  12. Theresa says:

    Maybe!! That kitty and his pal Dr. Phil gave the name to a whole CO category– “I Shall Leeeck You.” :D

  13. Kar says:

    All those Christmas sweaters and still no Knitted tag…

  14. Ayeesha says:

    That last hedgie is concentrating real hard and seeing “Oh Holy Night”.

  15. Christina V. says:

    yay!! Jay will be most pleased when I inform his royal highness he made it back onto the site, and earned his mom a calendar of cuteness!! :)

  16. Timo Takalo says:

    Looks more like the Mighty QUILL to me. Or a couple thousand of them.

  17. Emmylee says:

    These pups and kittehs are tots adorbs!! (yea I’ve been hanging with the kids lately)…but that look on Pansy’s face made me bust out laughing at my desk. I know that look all too well.

    • smartyboots says:

      Poor Pansy – surgical offense followed by donut indignity capped off by having her halls decked!! Being on Cute Overload is helping her recovery, though (if not her hair regrowth).

  18. Kaya says:

    Teh hedgie in tah last pic looks like a James Bond villain.

  19. Butters looks like he’s wearing the same sweateuw as Hamlet and Ignatz!

    And can I just say I’m so excited the my Maxie picked my puggies for the Holiday Overload! :-D

    Joanne V. – Hamlet & Ignatz’s hoomin

  20. Teresa says:

    I just LOVE all of the Christmas kitties :D

  21. smartyboots says:

    I am positively mad for Monty!

  22. MickeyG says:

    Monty is a real catch! I’d love to see him under my Christmas tree.
