By the way, big giant major kudos for the usage of the word 'coruscations'.

When does wrinkular become flabular? (Check OUT those washboard abs!)

And this is a "harrumph" face, if I've ever seen one.

I think you mean 'wrinkulousness'. Wrinkulessness would be a lack of wrinkulousness...

Robin
 |  Apr 30, 2008 at 08:06 AM

Wouldn't wrinkulessnessess be an adjective? How is it used in a sentence?

brinnann
 |  Apr 30, 2008 at 08:07 AM

Wait... if "wrinkular" is the adjective, then wouldn't the noun be "wrinkularity"?

Meh... matters not. McPuppersons is so mooshy and full of win...

I've heard of velveteen rabbits, but I've never seen a velvet bulldog. Makes mah fangers itch to touch that li'l girl! Oh, and Hon Glad? TOO WONDERFUL a quote! I'll bet that would make the immortal Sir Winston chortle with glee!

Woot!!! I'm so excited that my vocab submishy made it!!!!!!

This is totally my thrill of the day :-)

Cait R.

P.S. I have a pup who has an extremely wrinkular forehead at all times, as he is a Basenji. He also makes a "barrroooo" yodel instead of barking. How's that for cute?

P.P.S. I love the word coruscations *grin*

wrinkularity of the nose folds! And her name is Rosey?? I agree she looks more like a Churchill. Maybe Churchill had a prosh nick name??

Furrowed brow + smidgens of peenk = CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!

What's that metal ring looking thing sticking out the right side of Rosey's face/neck? Anyone?

Confused
 |  Apr 30, 2008 at 10:30 AM

Cute but disapproving pup's wrinkular strangely looks like a flabby six pack. He's a paragon of juxtapositions. Something about his face makes me want to smoosh him with kisses.

chanpon
 |  Apr 30, 2008 at 10:35 AM

Love the pup & the table! I have the same furniture from Pottery Barn. Heads up though-Kittens with claws do not mix well with expensive furniture. Kittens are forgiven of course! They are just way too cute!

mr. churchill is sitting on the area rug so as to not bruise his delicate behind on the hardwood floors.

lovings his groucho marx moustache. <3

marie
 |  Apr 30, 2008 at 11:41 AM

Confused, it's the loop on the collar where you hook the leash. I'm guessing pupular hasn't growed into her collar yet, so it looks outsized. :)

@debg:

My thoughts exactly! Some of us are "panda-bear shaped", as BerthaS so astutely pointed out a while back. But, somehow, it's so much cuter on Mlle. Rosey here, than it is on me.

Is that a baby bulldog? Bulldogs are the most disagreeable breed I have ever come across. They're so mean.

SSSsss
 |  Apr 30, 2008 at 07:54 PM

"Is that a baby bulldog? Bulldogs are the most disagreeable breed I have ever come across. They're so mean."

When in the world have you ever met a mean bulldog?? Unless they have some seriously abusive owners, bullies hardly have the ENERGY to be mean. They mostly just lay around.

Zach
 |  Apr 30, 2008 at 08:50 PM

Something about him/her reminds me of my cousin BreAnna. She looks like a BreAnna to me.

I. Lee

I saw a bulldog in the park today, looked like a grown-up version of this cutie!

"Wrinkular"!!! Meg, you KEEL me (especially with pronounciation help from the Prez)!!!!!!!!

In the spirit of non-partisanship, I believe Jimmy Carter also pronounced it "nukular". Oh well, nobody's perfect!!

Gail
 |  May 01, 2008 at 01:46 AM

that look of disapproval, ahn!

giving the rabbits a run for their money, i'd say!

kasia

That is a regular six-pack.

SMC
 |  May 01, 2008 at 03:19 AM

Not to correct you, ...well yes, actually, to correct you; the pronunciation nuCUlar was _NOT_ made famous by President Bush. It was originally made famous by President Eisenhower. Presidents Carter and Clinton made it a common pronunciation after him.

Abby_P
 |  May 01, 2008 at 04:25 AM

Oh, c'mon. That's not wrinkulousnessess--those are washboard abs, baby! Check out the six-pack on that pup!

Karen
 |  May 01, 2008 at 05:15 AM

shouldn't it be "wrinkulousness" or "wrinkulusness?"

"wrinkulessness" sounds like the absence of wrinkularity.

anner
 |  May 01, 2008 at 06:08 AM

His face says

"Yeah I got pretty nails. Your point?"

Hehe. Kewt puppeh! Me take now, k?

Jackie
 |  May 01, 2008 at 06:42 AM

Anner, I'm with you on that one (adjusts librarian-grammar geek specs on nose).

Theresa

I want to press those puppeh paws up to my face and squeal.

Sarah
 |  May 01, 2008 at 07:44 AM

"When in the world have you ever met a mean bulldog?? Unless they have some seriously abusive owners, bullies hardly have the ENERGY to be mean. They mostly just lay around."

I work at a pet hotel. Yes, they mostly just lay around; but more than one bulldog staying with us either has bitten or has tried to bite or is simply unpredictable/bad tempered. I have seen it myself.

SSSsss
 |  May 01, 2008 at 08:31 AM

this is a really cute dog...and I have NEVER met a mean bulldog...just because it looks like they smashed in their cute little pugged faces doesnt make them any meaner than a Boston or a...uh...Pug...heh

tank
 |  May 01, 2008 at 08:47 AM

Wrink-donk!

CaroL
 |  May 01, 2008 at 08:48 AM

SSss, if what you say is true, then it's more due to bad owners. Bullies are rarely just mean on their own. Those I've met are more along the lines of "hilariously friendly".

Zach
 |  May 01, 2008 at 10:20 AM

Zach, Hurley is adorable!

Lilly
 |  May 01, 2008 at 01:02 PM

Wrinkulocity!

CaroL
 |  May 01, 2008 at 01:31 PM

Any book or website you'll find about dog breeds will list bulldogs as generally sweetly-tempered dogs that are good with children. I agree that mean ones would much more likely be genetic anomalies or the result of bad owners.

Also, even the dogs with the "mean" reputations can generally be sweet when raised well. I've met a lot of really affectionate rottweilers and dobermans.

Lara
 |  May 01, 2008 at 02:37 PM

How about "wrinkuluscious"??

Gail
 |  May 02, 2008 at 04:59 AM
