Wow, how did the sculptor get such a realistic fur effect out of chocolate?

Yeah, but at least I'm not buying bright orange crushed velvet pillows for my pets.

You guys need http://kittenwar.com/

there is a book of doggie photos with what I consider the best title of them all:
"because cat spelled backwards isn't god"

I'm not a religious guy, but I still think it's a winner.

Ok, I'll go there.

Gromit's way cuter.

Meet Osborn. He's not a puppy anymore. I will try and find a newer photo...

Admit it, Rob. That's really one of these.

Damn it! Now I have to buy one of those for my mom. She has a screw loose for Westies.

It's actually my parent's dog, but he is real and very needy of attention. When I watch their house when they go on vacation, he has to sleep with me or he will whine all night. He definitely is a character.

My kitten was 3rd on kittenwar for a while...ah those were the days

Here's the dog I have right now: a cute little Lab' pup.

Doesn't do much though, mostly just sits waiting for me to take it out and drop it into a geocache somewhere..

You are right - you can see the trouble brewing in the eyes...

I am currently between dogs at the moment, but here is a sympathy shot of my dog Fuzzy, just back from the vet. You can almost read the "Why do I have to wear this stupid thing?" in his eyes even with the overpowering flash. He was a springer spaniel / setter mix.

Here's Kaci, one of mine. She's a Peek-a-Poo.

Our Mutt, Max. 15 or 16 years old now and silly as ever.

But my kittens are cuter than your dog

Okay, fine. I'll jump in.

To go along with the other white terriers, here's Junebug. She's a quarter Yorkie (and a quarter pom and half chihuahua). This is when she was a couple of months old. I finally mustered up the courage to put her to sleep just last week after a year and a half of her being blind and increasingly incapacitated due to hydrocephalus. She wasn't even 3 yet. :sniff:

Poor thing :{

Ouch. Very sorry to hear that!

Doug: My wife asked me to ask you what breed of dog that is. She thinks it's adorable.

We don't do cute can we go for either the character or totally uncontrollable class?

Certainly not cuter than Doug's dog, but I still think she's cute. Meet Godiva:

Okay.... that was freaky. Let's stick to cute, shall we?

LOL, I thought it was cute. Leela from Futurama would have liked it.

Well, here's a pic of my dog when we first got him- I'll have to take another one now that he's grown up a little.

Okay, I wasn't going to get involved in this exercise in mutually assured destruction, but I can't resist. Meet Abby and Moose (Moose is the little one):

There is something about Moose's face - let me guess, trouble waiting to happen...

ok, here are my girls...


Claudia, the daschund, is 7 1/2 years old, and Colette, the Jack Russell is one.

Here is Kali. She almost met some of you, but she had to stay in the car during the last bay area mini-meet...

It is a miniature poodle, his name is Akela, he is four years old, we are his third (at least) owners.

I brought him to work with me today, and by astonishing coincidence... one of the cow-orkers looked at him, pointed and said, "That's Casey! That used to be my dog!" And indeed, he was Casey before we renamed him Akela. (Cow-orker had to give him away because Casey/Akela didn't co-exist well with other dogs in the house. (He gets along just fine with our three cats.) Previous two owners said he didn't do well with children.) He is a very well behaved dog, at least in his present dog-less, child-less environment. We feed the cats and Akela table scraps (tiny tastes of people-food, not really feeding) and Akela will patiently wait his turn when we feed the cats first. He never barks, comes when he is called, and will play fetch and keepaway with his miniature tennis ball for as long as anybody has the energy to keep throwing it and chasing him.

Bonus points to the first one who knows what "Akela" refers to.

Yes, because "knows" == "can type into the Wikipedia search box."

I'd have thought that, given your locale, a more appropriate name would have been "Buck".

Doesn't it?

For the record (not that there is one), I didn't use the search box.

Akela just does not look like a Buck. Mousse, perhaps...

Or, as Tony suggested... perhaps Chocolate Mousse ??
