Muzzle-pow-sche

What could be better than a tiny muzzle pow-sche?

The only thing better is a tiny pocket paw -or-

The fact the muzzle pow-sche is sniffling at 500 MPPM

Not sure... is this the first gerbil on CO? (No wait, there was the animated sniffles...)

Awww, this makes me miss my gerbils.

There once was a gerbil who'd seek
A place in a pocket to peek
Having discovered
A suitable cover
He hoped that the rent would be cheap

Is that a gerbil in your pocket, or... ???

The khaki styling is making me think "Survival Gerbil". Possibly Swiss Army Gerbil? I bet he's awesome at opening tins of ham.

Ah..ha! This boy is so wee!
Yet with his little eyes he doth see
his whole kingdom from his perch aerie
"I am so happy" he shouts with great glee!!

*mouse/gerbil-like puff of cuteness: Ehn! Ehn! Move those fingers! I can't see!*

*MC2 scans the room worriedly, bracing herself for the fulmination to commence* :-/

It's so cute!!!!
First thing Monday mornings are hard to come up with something more original

They didn't allow small animals in the building, and nobody can leave the cute muzzlepuff behind! So they hid him in a pocket. just don't get him twiching his nose in there too fast, it'll look...strange to say the least.

I was doing fine until I saw that tiny paw...now I am done for. Gah!

Atom Girl

I do beleive that's a dwarf hammie. They're are perfectly pocket sized.

redhed
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 05:52 AM

Gerbilicious bebeh! He's all like, "Why did you call me out here...?!"

jaypo
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 05:56 AM

Nope, redhed, def a gerbil! Yay! I've been waiting for the gerbs. This guy looks just like mine did.

A gerbil exceedingly small,
Was sad not to travel at all.
But he crept in a pocket,
And thought "Hey, don't knock it...
At least I will get to the mall."

Kate
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 06:19 AM

ROFL, Kate! I love it!

Lauri

"With a gerbil yell, she cried earworm, earworm, earworm."

Why won't my hammie behave like this nice pocket gerbil? My hammie, bless her, is the J.Lo of rodents.

*whifflewhiffle*

This is a literal Pocket Pet.

...or Kate, alternately as a last line:

"It's faster than having to crawl."

A thinker

..."Close that flap or I'll bite your left [ker-censored!]"

Kate, brilliant!

Laurie C
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 07:06 AM

LOL, Kate.

This pic helped me figure out what all those extra pockets were for on my husband's cammo uniform. The Marines are crawling with pocket pets!!!!

Hmm...was the distinction between "muzzlepuff" and "muzzlepouch" ever confirmed and made part of the official CO lexicon? 'Cuz gerbils don't have the cheek pouches that hammies have, but they do have the puff.

ShelleyTambo
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 07:37 AM

Hahaha, I don't know, Shelley, but in my Personal opinion, puffs are for the dainty furries, and pouches are for the big doggy-type beef drapes!

I am happy in my own little world. :)

Lauri
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 07:48 AM

ShelleyT, it's in the official Glossary now.

Laurie C
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 07:54 AM

Yeah. SOMEbody keeps mungeing around with a couple of the entries, though. Not sayin no names.

Theo - while you're on the line and the subject of the Glossary has been mentioned, I have a sort of request if you have a minute.

pyrit
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 08:19 AM

Pyrit -- j00 hv teh mailz.

Theo
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 08:23 AM

Duh, I did read that glossary entry recently. Sigh. It's a dreary Monday morning--that's my only excuse. So "muzzle pow-sche" isn't the best CO-speak for a gerbil's jowly region. (Not trying to be anal, but, as a gerbil owner, people conflating hamsters and gerbils always got to me. I'm also being more anal than usual because last week my shelter published--SENT OUT TO THE PUBLIC--an article that referred to a cat's "cleft pallet." Uff da.)

ShelleyTambo

GERBILS RULE!
Oooh, he reminds me of my gerbil babies. Half Pint, Daddy Long Legs, Charlotte, Moonbeam, and Starshine. OMG, I loved them.

zelda
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 08:52 AM

Theo - Joo are teh marvelous. I'll take that as a go ahead.
Possible wonky link?
I was merrily perusing the Glossary recently, and what a fine Glossary it is. Wait, I don't want to mention it here for other Peeps to see. Hang on. I'm thinking.

pyrit
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 08:54 AM

Yay, a gerbil!!!

I loved letting mine try new foods. It would set their whiskers a wigglin'. (Of course, the next time I offered the same goodie, they'd snarf it up, remembering that it was good to eat.)

Courtney
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 09:04 AM

Pyrit -- I meant, you have email, at the "p@cjs.com" address that I have for you.

Theo
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 09:29 AM

Theo - p@cjs.com? Eeeeennnnhhh. How?
A minute ago I sent you email at cuteoverload@frostdesign. Maybe Meg will fwd. it to you? Sorry for this confusion.

pyrit
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 09:40 AM

Pyrit -- hover your mouse pointer over your name in one of your comments here, then look in the lower-left corner of your browser window for the "mailto:" line. That's what I used; it's whatever you have typed into the email field of the Cute Overload comment form.

I don't have access to cuteoverload@frostdesign.net -- that's Meg (whenever she's got time). You *could* try messaging me through my Vox, though, if you're a Voxen yourself...

Theo
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 10:07 AM

Theo - The p@cjs.com, it's pffft, sorry.
Meg does seem pretty busy.
Vox. Hmmm, but then you might find out I'm not *really* a pirate. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Theo
 |  Nov 13, 2006 at 10:18 AM

Um... Pyrit? You might want to check your name, now.
