Whether you’re handling dangerous nuclear materials, or just skateboarding through the Kwik-E-Mart, you need plenty of energy to get you through the morning.

So start your day the Simpsons way — with a hearty helping of Homer Simpson brand Frosted Pink Doughnuts.  They’re the waistline-expanding part of this balanced breakfast!

Check out this mini bun, he’s all:

“It’s coitoins for me!—Ehn Ehn Ehn” (All Paws flailing)

Sender-Inner Katie L. met these little bun buns on July 4th during a visit to St. Louis. She claims this bun induced a ‘cute coma’. It happens, Katie. It happens to the best of us (looking at Katie while holding doctorly clipboard).

Introducing Archie the Kitteh, who manages to catch Z’s EVERYWHERE! Yes, we should add him to the “Kittehs can sleep anywhere” post. Check it:

Last month, we reported on Stephen Colbert’s selfless — and momentarily cute — journey to entertain the troops in Iraq, where he made the ultimate sacrifice: Agreeing to have his head shaved.

And what became of the hair, may you ask?

Callista Y.: Great sender-inner, or the greatest sender-inner?

We need to get Maru and Winston together for a movie… In the meantime, here is Maru, chasing a mouse:

Alertly spotted by Jorden C.

“… all right, these next slides are from when we went to Pismo Beach last year, because Myron’s doctor said the sea air would be good for his bursitis.  And we got a lovely room facing the ocean, first floor so Myron wouldn’t have to walk so much…”

“… now, Pismo Beach is where they have the very famous clam digging, of course, and so Myron and I just had to try it for ourselves.  Didn’t find any clams, oh well…”

“… and then we saw–HONEY!! You promised not to put that slide in!  I swear, that man–he’s as frisky as a teenager sometimes, I just don’t know what to do with him…”

“… so anyway, we had a very lovely time, and we met this very nice lady named Angela E., who took these pictures of us, didn’t they come out nice?  And she said she would send them to a place on the Internet called… well, I forget the name; Cute Obstruction, or Cute Upchuck or something like that…”

… because according to this thing, I’ve got a temperature of 150 calories!

Backstory from sender-inner Sandy C.: “I’d like to submit this photo of my hamster named Lenore who is attempting to lob a pretzel stick away without me or my fiance knowing.”  Not sure I agree with you 100 percent on your choice of hiding place, Lenore.

We seem to be getting tons of “Oh YEAH!?” emails lately, of folks claiming their cat has a cuter tiara or their dogs eyes are puppy-doggier.

Says Sender-Inner Heather, “this is in response to the Spaniel puppy eyes you posted today…” OH YOU WANNA FIGHT, HEATHER!?

Heather goes on to say: “OH you’ve met your MATCH Cocker Spaniel we posted yesterday!!!”

All photos of Harpo the pup taken by Heather, attentive dog Mom and lover not fighter.

You may think there has been a GLUT of Cats ‘n’ Racks photos in the last week.

Well, you’re wrong. ‘CAUSE HERE’S ANOTHER ONE. Thank you Jesus! (necklace)

Sender-Inner Jaii says: “More pics including extreme closeup of teensy pawses“

JUST WHEN I THINK there are no more cute pics in the world, you go and send in a gem like this. Thank you, Jeff and Kristen.

Lula pup, you’re in beeeeeeg troubles.
