Cute Overload! :)

Time for a story, then off to bed

Storyteller Thom: "It's been a looong weekend, Peeps. Time for your story, then off to bed."

[Spaniel looks over at cats in disbelief] "ONE STORY!? no waaaaaaaaaaay!!!"

Nice work, Thom P...

awwwwwwwwww, how cute!: claudia; | Oct 01, 2006 at 09:14 PM

The story must have gotten exciting. Look at the startled look on the black dog's face! It looks all like '*gasp!* And then what happened?': Aoide; | Oct 01, 2006 at 09:17 PM

Oh man!that is too damn cute. RoZita...those...at first glance, do not look like bunnies. x.x seriously though, that's crazy cute. I when I was a little kid my mom used to read stories to my dog, what fang and I on saturday mornings. He'd hop up and sit on my bed and listen *SO* intently.: Constance; | Oct 01, 2006 at 09:21 PM

What a fantastic pic! Oh, how I want to join story time!: AmyH; | Oct 01, 2006 at 09:34 PM

awww, Newfies are my faaaavorite! I want one. <3: Caitlin; | Oct 01, 2006 at 09:41 PM

GEEK SQUAD!! That black dog is totally into the story.: sal.; | Oct 01, 2006 at 09:41 PM

Hello, Children, hello. Here is this morning's story. Are you ready? Then we'll begin: "One day Ricky the Magic Pixie went to visit Daisy Bumble in her tumbledown cottage. He found her in the bedroom. Roughly he grabbed her heaving shoulders, pulling her down on to the bed and hurriedly ripping off her thin... " (flip, flip, flip...)

With a MELON???: Aubrey; | Oct 01, 2006 at 09:58 PM

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!: Earl; | Oct 01, 2006 at 09:59 PM

Hahaaa, that skit kills me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PwdDV-abQA: Megan; | Oct 01, 2006 at 10:00 PM

A lovely picture, and so well-chosen, Meg. I'm wondering if the cats are using their eyebeams to get to the ending faster. AmyH, what about starting a CO Reading Group? We'd be arranged in a semi-circle, each person reading aloud, in turn. And I see everyone seated on kindergarten-sized chairs, somehow. And puddins' for recess.: Aubrey; | Oct 01, 2006 at 10:02 PM

Love the Newfie!: marcus; | Oct 01, 2006 at 10:17 PM

cool~~~: hue; | Oct 01, 2006 at 10:34 PM

Those are some powerful kitty eyebeams. I think the spaniel got caught off guard. Spaniel:"Hey you two what are you...doing...in...nice story....": Rafael; | Oct 01, 2006 at 10:44 PM

I love that even the cats are paying attention.: ka9q's wife; | Oct 01, 2006 at 10:51 PM

cuuuute!!! ah.... i couldn't help but notice.. the guy's shirt says "geek squad.": kodomo_ja_nai; | Oct 01, 2006 at 10:53 PM

Well, there's a cat in the story, so naturally the cats are paying attention. As soon as the story gets to the dog part, though, those cats are taillights, man.: Not That Mike The Other Mike; | Oct 01, 2006 at 10:54 PM

What a good example for readers everywhere! Black DogFace obviously way more into it than kitties - maybe they more into Drama or Visual Arts?: Positive jube; | Oct 02, 2006 at 12:04 AM

Or Kit-urgical Dance.: Aubrey; | Oct 02, 2006 at 12:08 AM

Ha! I love how the black dog is taking in every word.: Renee; | Oct 02, 2006 at 12:35 AM

And it looks to be a story featuring a hamster! See? It's the Peaceable Kingdom (and not a nuffingham in sight)...: J. Bo; | Oct 02, 2006 at 01:29 AM

Aw christ that warms my heart on this cold Welsh morning! Is that a Newfoundland!?? He looks enthralled. He's so obviously the teacher's pet as well :P: Tilly; | Oct 02, 2006 at 01:32 AM

you lot shld grow up - animals cant talk nothing makes a dog more depressed than being treated like a human rather than a dog fyi: greg; | Oct 02, 2006 at 01:36 AM

Greg, why exactly are you on CO? If you're going to tell people to grow up, at least try to type properly. Nothing makes a human more depressed than bad grammar. Adorable picture!: Jordan; | Oct 02, 2006 at 02:04 AM

Greg: "nothing makes a dog more depressed than being treated like a human rather than a dog fyi" Greg, how did you come by this information? Did -- did a DOG tell you this? What else did the dog tell you, Greg? Tell you what -- you just lie down here on this nice, comfy couch, and tell kindly old Dr. Ntmtom everything the dog told you, OK? And then I'll write it all down on this note pad, so that I can help you get better! Won't that be nice, Greg? It'll be nice to get better, won't it, Greg? And then the dogs won't talk to you -- never, ever again.: Not That Mike The Other Mike; | Oct 02, 2006 at 02:33 AM

Yup, the Newfie looks positively suicidal. I'd start hiding knives. JEEBUS. Anyway.... thuper cute!: sweet jane; | Oct 02, 2006 at 03:23 AM

re NMTOM: WOOT! :oD: juliette; | Oct 02, 2006 at 04:47 AM

also, apologies for leaving out a T. early and chai-less thus far.: juliette; | Oct 02, 2006 at 04:48 AM

Is greg KIDDING? I lived with a Rat Terrier who literally got TICKED when you called her a dog. Was a bed and breakfast and the owners daughter picked Brin up and said YUR A DOG. Brin went upstairs and pooped on her pillow. reg: Regina; | Oct 02, 2006 at 04:50 AM

Regina my ratty has the same attitude!!! She will leave the room if someone treats her like a dog :): Meli; | Oct 02, 2006 at 05:22 AM

Pure, pure genius. Thom P should be knighted. I find myself seriously wondering how he managed to set up this situation. Were they already there and he found them like that? Were there treats involved? What, how?: A thinker; | Oct 02, 2006 at 05:31 AM

Monday stands no chance against the sheer might of this post! W00T! (And Geek Squad stands no chance against the sheer weight of my scorn.): Theo; | Oct 02, 2006 at 05:42 AM

I don't see why this cute is people! Clearly the photographer was unduly putting that Geek in harms way! Does the photographer really think it's safe to leave a poor defenseless Geek alone with four animals that look very content and almost down right happy? One lick from that Newfie and game's over man, game's over! And you know those cats are plotting to overthrow their story-reader! Oh the humanity! You people should be ashamed!: Kristie; | Oct 02, 2006 at 05:43 AM

Yep, Kristie. All's as it should be. Heh heh heh.: Theo; | Oct 02, 2006 at 05:58 AM

Hey guys! I woke up this morning and was very surprised to find a friend IMing me that I was on cuteoverload. I'm thinking someone in my family submitted that photo. I have written a bit more about the picture on my website, as well as provided the animal's names. I've been away at college for the last 3 years, so whenever I come home the animals follow me around like I am a celebrity. It was during one of these times that I was able to take advantage of it and get the animals (especially the hyper-active king charles spaniel) to sit still long enough for a quality photo. I'm really glad you all enjoy it!: Thom Patterson; | Oct 02, 2006 at 06:01 AM

Oh crap, where's my carpet square?!: Beauregard; | Oct 02, 2006 at 06:20 AM

The cats are pretending to pay attention while they burn holes in the wall behind Thom's head. The Newfie is way too involved in the story. He needs to chill, or he'll have nightmares. And the KCS has probably been told to stop bothering the Newfie, so he's putting his paw as close to the Newfie's as he can get it without actually touching him. What book is that, Thom? And can you give us a link to your website?: AuntieMame; | Oct 02, 2006 at 06:21 AM

Now THAT is adorable!: Becky; | Oct 02, 2006 at 06:24 AM

Oh noooo..... Thom's website points out that there are COCKATIELS in this picture!!!: s; | Oct 02, 2006 at 06:30 AM

Oh, there's the link! Duh! Cockatiels! Salmonella! Panic! We're all going to die!!!ONE!11!: AuntieMame; | Oct 02, 2006 at 06:36 AM

Is it wrong that, despite the animal adorableness on show, I'm finding Thom the cutest one in this picture?: Kate; | Oct 02, 2006 at 06:45 AM

Gosh. I'm kind of a little in love.: Elizabeth; | Oct 02, 2006 at 06:46 AM

Teho, That's just your attitude towards Geek Squad members or all geeks in general? I mean, the first I can understand, but really, truly, I like the song, "Save a horse, ride a geek.": Kristie; | Oct 02, 2006 at 06:48 AM

Geek Squad, Kristie. I *am* a geek. They used to be the cool nerds who rode around Minneapolis in antique cars, hung out on my BBS, and advertised in the free weeklies. Now they're part of Best Buy. They're diluted, faceless, and exorbitant. Tech support to rock stars and royalty. Thom P, you are clearly a person of substance & compassion. GET OUT NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN. (Even if it's just a T-shirt. Get out of it.): Theo; | Oct 02, 2006 at 07:01 AM

Erm... and for the record, I won't be needing *that* pic. No offense. Just sayin'.: Theo; | Oct 02, 2006 at 07:02 AM

i really adore this pic! nothing is CUTER than a guy being tender with animals... and fyi, the newfie is totally enthralled by the story... the kitties are simply waiting for the cookies & milk, and the CKCS is in lust with the newfie and just putting up with the story because he can hump her later... ceaser milan may be the "dog whisperer" but his techniques are archaic and soemtimes downright inappropriate... he was an illegal alien and never took a course on animal behavior! all his techniques are from his experiences... and although some of his info is right, and his techniques works... well... ever watch his show? no dog's problem is resolved in a 10 minute segment...and some of these dog owners really have no clue and let their dogs make the decisions... and no "real" person can walk their dogs for 4 to 6 hours a day... so buy the book "Culture Clash" and change not only your relationship with your dog, but improve your relationship with others!: roxy; | Oct 02, 2006 at 07:05 AM
