When owners look like their pets

It's so weird how people pick pets that look like them, you know?

Whoa. Thanks, Sara J. G. (who submitted this WAY back in December...!)

?! LOL.: A thinker; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:23 AM

OOKAAY, I haven't had a lot of coffee today, but... are the little ones stuffed animals (as in: not real)? to: mariser; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:24 AM

Oh, so cute!: C.M.; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:24 AM

(Second!) Sooo cute btw!: Cecile; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:24 AM

oops not second, i was too slow LOL: Cecile; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:25 AM

Mariser -- OK, *technically,* yes. But why be technical? That's what Slashdot's for. ;): Theo; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:30 AM

so kewt!: karisma; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:31 AM

Don't they look like the sweetest 1950s husband and wife? The wife on the left, looking demur and proper. The husband looking like the king of his domain...: Kris, in New England; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:32 AM

Woohoo, I got posted! And no, the teeny chihuahuas are not real. I think the chi's owner, panmui3, made them, as she has several doll photographs on her Flickr.: Sara; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:34 AM

isn't it weird when people have tiny toys that look just like their tiny toy dogs that look just like the people?: ariel; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:36 AM

There's kind of a spooky quality to this. Like those infinite mirrors.: Laurie; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:37 AM

Definitely... unusual.: E. Collison; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:43 AM

"...tiny toys that look just like their tiny toy dogs..." In fact, the tiny toys make the dogs seem like they might be giant dogs. If that afghan wasn't there for scale, this could look like the Chihuahua that Ate New York. A seriously unsettling thought.: Laurie; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:45 AM

I'd like to know where the itsy bitsy dogettes found giant toys to look just like them.: jaypo; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:49 AM

what a disappointment... I reallyreallyreally wanted the little ones to be real and the-not-so-little-ones to be, well, the "Chihuahuas That Ate New York" (Laurie, great phrase) (and disturbing, yes): mariser; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:50 AM

way too adorable!! They look like the proudest parents.: teresa; | Apr 25, 2006 at 06:57 AM

CO has given me a new respect for chihuahuas. is that a good thing? remains to be seen.: finn; | Apr 25, 2006 at 07:06 AM

I can't believe no one has squeeed yet. *sigh* Do I have to do everything around here? SQUEEEEEEEEE !!!: maymee; | Apr 25, 2006 at 07:31 AM

I second maymee's SQUEEE! I love the squinched-up eyes on the one on the left.: Zelda; | Apr 25, 2006 at 07:39 AM

Yay! Chihuahuas that don't look spooky and trembly. These guys are gorgeous! Everyone has such wonderful posture too! Hee!: ElfOwl; | Apr 25, 2006 at 07:43 AM

me too, zelda. and if i stare hard, her nose begins to wiggle. then *i* sneeze.: finn; | Apr 25, 2006 at 07:47 AM

Aw, it's like their family portrait, with an afghan backdrop. I can't get over the floof on the white one-- It's exploding off her!: Laura; | Apr 25, 2006 at 07:48 AM

5 Year Old Grand Daughter Wants To Know If They Got Married And Those Are Their Kids: RavishingRoberta; | Apr 25, 2006 at 07:56 AM

RavRob, *that* is the most adorable comment yet. in answer to your graddaughter: please refer to "Lady and the Tramp": mariser; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:05 AM

I have concluded that chihuahuas are necessary for the humour element on CO. But Finn, respect? Dunno 'bout that one yet...: A thinker; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:05 AM

graddaughter = granddaughter: mariser; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:06 AM

A Thinker, don't you think these chi's rather... stately? even the sneezy one??: finn; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:14 AM

Well, def. more so than the strange ones in knitted suits. I grant you that :-): A thinker; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:16 AM

definitely not cute. But I dislike dogs that are not even the size of a decently grown rat.: juggle geese; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:16 AM

I suggest that chis receive the respect that they deserve. Not only are they extremely adorable, they know how to hold their own when threatened. ours sounds rather demonic when she gets perturbed. when she was a puppy we called her the "flying nun" because her ears were so huge compared to the rest of her! gotta luv 'em!: karen; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:17 AM

Wa-Wa's (with their wittle wa-wa's). In summation: Wa-was' wa-was.: Anna; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:22 AM

Ok, is it me or does anyone else see that sort of Hypnotized-Glazed-Over look on many small dogs that is SUPER SOOOPER cute? The little white one is displaying an acute version quite nicely. My lil rat terrier falls into such a trance when I scratch his tummy just so...: Anna; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:24 AM

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STARE TOO HARD: http://www.squidgrid.com/images/misc/wahwahfamily.gif: Theo; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:24 AM

This picture is so cute, I had to eat my own legs to make the cute stop. STOP!: toddspal; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:25 AM

theo, that was awesome!: karen; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:26 AM

aaaaah blinking toyz!: ariel; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:49 AM

YAY!! and pOOT!! (toddspal i hope yr legs grow back. beezware of the Theo.): finn; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:49 AM

LOVE IT!! Man, the similarities are stunning!! lol: Jan Spencer; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:55 AM

Theo, you're too much. *head shake and chuckle*: A thinker; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:56 AM

Theo!!!! You di-int!: Meg; | Apr 25, 2006 at 08:59 AM

*rofl* Demonic wa-was... okay THATS funny... *in squeeky evil wa-wa voice* Bow to the powers of my trembling or face the power of my bladder! I can honestly say that though I can give a wa-wa a petting or two... adoration is about as much as I can muster for anything that tiny and helpless however I concede they can be extremely adorable. Holding their own though?! Against say.... an attack gerbil?: M-; | Apr 25, 2006 at 09:03 AM

Cuter'f each dog had a little croched pouches round there middles holding the toys like 2 kangaroos..: the dizzy kids; | Apr 25, 2006 at 09:14 AM

I just had to look up 'wah wah' in the C.O. Glossary.: Meg; | Apr 25, 2006 at 09:14 AM

M- our chi scares the heck out of our Siberian Husky. Chis in the "wild" ie desert will subdue scorpions. I admit to no small amount of trepidation when I need to trim her toenails!: karen; | Apr 25, 2006 at 09:25 AM

M- some Attack Gerbils for you (courtesy of the Sam & Fuzzy webcomic) http://www.samandfuzzy.com/archive.php?id=500: Theo; | Apr 25, 2006 at 09:25 AM

Theo, the "blinky" gif is too much!!! RavR, your granddaughter makes complete sense to me. I think getting more kids' reactions to the photos here would be fun...: E. Collison; | Apr 25, 2006 at 09:42 AM

M- and Theo: Don't forget the Ur-gerbils from Narbonic! http://www.moderntales.com/toc.php?name=narbonic I think the problem with chihuahuas is just one of self-image. They're so tiny that their options are either to act all big and tough and loud, or spend their lives cowering in a corner. Most of them opt for the former, and overdo it, so that a lot of people end up seeing them as obnoxious.: VaCKo; | Apr 25, 2006 at 09:43 AM

Meg -- just updated the "Wah-Wah" entry with an extra link. Glad that folks like the animation. I *just* figured out how to do that in GIMP.: Theo; | Apr 25, 2006 at 09:55 AM

Such watery eyed, wet-nosed perfection! I want to squish them together!: A Fine Morsel; | Apr 25, 2006 at 10:02 AM
