How a lack of teefs can boost cuteness factor

Unlike any other species, a specifc LACK of teef, (which, in the case of puppehs, makes a tongue flop out) is cute. Not to mayn-shons the Rule #15 ear action going on here.

In that first pic, he looks like Yoda, and in the second, like an Ewok.

I love fluffy pups, they're my favorite. :)

Is Jay by any chance a rescue? He looks familiar...

My dog's tongue sticks out as well, cause she has not teeth. Don't know what happened to them since she was adopted. Gives her a lot of character though.

I swear, I thought the first shot must have been 'shopped. Then I saw the second. What a redonkulously adorable puppster!

I love the slight head tilt and how the tongue is sticking out the same way.

Maria
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 05:28 AM

WOW! I missed the memo about Rule #15 being edited!! *resounding applause and cries of HEAR, HEAR!*

In other news, this pup is THE VERY ESSENCE of the tongue flop. LOVE.

Clare

....oh. This IS the memo.

YAY MEG. :D

Clare

Plenty of BEF and cute both wet and dry.

awwww so cute. i'd be happy to follow puppeh around and dab his tongue with a spongie so it wont dry out.

its a whole new kind of 'baroo?"

jen
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 08:11 AM

The most ridiculously dorky dog I have ever seen. I love it!

Nicolletta
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 08:20 AM

Jen, that is the Wet Propeller-Eared Baroo. Rarely attempted for the difficulty factor, but always gets high artistic points!

Theresa
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 08:45 AM

PS the tongue angle in bothe pics!!

Theresa

Don't you agree?

So cute! I love the tongue and the "Baroo?" look. XD

 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 09:16 AM

I think I made this face for a picture in my high school yearbook.

Jay's much cuter doing it than I was.

Casey
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 09:28 AM

OMG this is so silly I can't stop looking. My cat's tongue used to stay out sometimes after she cleaned herself, & we would poke it back in.

Puppy scores a 10 for cuteness!!

Anne
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 09:39 AM

In the second pic the pup is all, "Derhhh?"

Totally made my day

In the bath picture, Jay looks like he should be a character in Wallace & Gromit.

Charles J T
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 10:50 AM

I love how in the first peecture he's all flat and soggy and the FWOOMPF! in the second one he's fluff overload!!! *pokes da tongue*

Lizzy
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 11:37 AM

Jay looks like a calender boy!

*smooches screen*

I think it's just the lighting, but the first one looks eerily Photoshopped!

It's Mr. Winkle's long lost cuz:P

Tara
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 01:50 PM

.. I was hoping someone would explain what happened to his teefs?? He's really cute except (sorry) I don't like the hanging tongue. It does not look comfortabuhls for him.

Mary (the first)
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 02:49 PM

More ear floofage!

AuntieMame
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 03:05 PM

Why no teefs?

GND
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 03:07 PM

Thanks for all the comments about my little Jay, he is in fact a 'roadside rescue' dog...I found him in a ditch on the side of the road one wet and cold morning...he had been left for dead and was very sick...after lots of veterinary care and TLC (and lots of infected teeth extracted) he is just the GREATEST little 'special ed' papillon ever...and LOVES to ham it up for the cam! (and no, they're not edited...he's just that freakin adorable!) These pics were taken just a few months ago after finding him, he's looking even more cute and fluffier now!! More pics to come soon!! :)

Christina, major kudos for rescuing a caring for a pup in need! Abandoned and homeless animals are such a sad site, and it warms my heart to know there are people out there who are willing to stop and help so these animals don't wind up euthanized in shelters or dead in the streets. Give that fluff monster some extra snuggles and a kiss on the nose for me!

Lizzy
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 10:27 PM

Meg doesn't this call for a new bath-related category?

Jesso
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 11:05 PM

Thank you Christina. For sharing your story and for loving this special little guy!!

And there's a special hell for people who abandon their pets like this.

Kar
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 11:40 PM

Good job Christina! I have 5 Paps at home, some rescue some not. Fortunately all have their teefs. Toy dogs are especially prone to dental problems and often lose their teeth at a young age unless they get regular dental care. All puppehs need regular dental care, but the tiny ones more so. Toooooo kyoots!

woohoo!
 |  Feb 18, 2008 at 11:57 PM

I just exploded from the cuteness!

Love the way his white fur curls to his right, while his tongue sticks out to the left.

When I was a girl, we had a Papillon cross. Spooky was a beautiful thing - and I was always amazed at how much she shrank when she was bathed.
