I’m really not sure who Sancho’s friend is… I was too busy admiring His Longitude and his retinue. Sancho is 8, and has still shown absolutely no signs of getting any less long.
Boxers.
It must be the basset that makes him so good at the woebegone dog look.
He has a very broad range of expressions, doesn’t he?
I’m guessing that the adoption fee for this one is rather more than for the ones in the Macy’s window.
Plus he’s less cuddly, less fun, and not nearly as warm in case of heating emergencies.
I was meaning to stop by Macy’s to get some more window kitten pictures today, but things happened and other things didn’t. Fortunately I have a bit of back stock.
Grooming is serious business when you’re a kitten. And seriously adorable.
Just to round out a week of astonishing cute, here’s Tilly, the six-month-old Berner. She has an Instagram. You know what to do.
So I’m not saying I had a really good Thanksgiving break. I’m just saying that every single dog picture I have posted this week was taken last Thursday or Friday. You can be the judge.
Tillie has a refreshingly direct way of letting you know what she wants.
And what she wants is cuddles. LOTS of cuddles. (Plus: note Tilly still has puppy fro. Yay!)
She wasn’t getting her cuddles. Can you believe that?
If you’re wondering whether there was a treat involved in her amazing focus, you are a very perceptive person.
Yes, that is my brother. In a Hipmunk hoodie. With ears. And flying goggles.
Smugdog. Bellyrubdog.
So it’s probably worth noting that I ran into more than one puppy on the same day I ran into Winston (and Pepper). And that although Franklin here is within a week of the same age as Winston, he’s like six times his size already. It is hard to say which one is cuddlier but I’m going to have to go with “whichever one happens to be in front of me right at the moment.”
He was playing with another dog when I got there, but I didn’t get any good shots of the two of them together. But that’s what the ‘frame’ here is.
The eyes. Help help. My heart.
Lesson #209 for Adam: it’s not enough to make sure that your subject and your background both aren’t in direct sunlight. You also have to make sure your camera isn’t in direct sunlight. Bah.
So, how to top yesterday’s level of cuteness? Well, we’re not going to try. Instead, we are going to go for grandeur and nobility. How’s that work for ya?
One thing Pepper has in common with Winston: they both are next to impossible to coerce into looking at the camera for any length of time.
I hear it’s a submission thing, so I always try to look away from the dog. Maybe I should try facing away from the dog too. Might make it hard to aim the camera though.
Oh my dear sweet lord. Winston is a 12-week-old little bundle of AWWW with his own Instagram (worriedwinston) and everything. Which you should go check out. Because if you think these pictures are cute you may go into cardiac arrest when you get there.
Actually, maybe you shouldn’t go there, because I need all my visitors to stay healthy and happy.
Anyway, I have some very vague guesses as to what he might be but I really think I’m going to need to wait until he’s a little older before I indulge in them.
Getting a puppy to look at you is like getting a bubble to land on your pencil without breaking. Tip first, of course.
Amazing! And I didn’t even have my squeaky toy with me.
Another contestant for ‘most boopable nose of the year’, and a very strong contender indeed.
Oh god that look.
Just imagine that soft puppy fur. Nope, softer. Softer still. THAT’S how soft he was.
He already knows sit, at 12 weeks! This pup is gonna go far.
Oh god he’s broken out the puppydog eyes, I’m meeeeltiiiiing…
We at Hipmunk are all about the cute. Apparently today we are all about the cute dog ad. WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED OF THIS IN ADVANCE??
Incidentally, the fares are pretty good too.
Virgin is my favorite airline, too! And no, I personally do not make any money off this ad.
This was slated to be torn down after the Panama-Pacific Exposition of 1915, but some ridiculously rich lady stepped in and paid for it to be preserved. That’s the kind of thing you can do when you’re ridiculously rich.
Sure is pretty.
And yes, that’s a … balloon.
So it’s not Black Caturday, since there’s no such thing. I therefore hereby declare this Black and White Caturday, so I can post these two cuties.
Cats in store windows do a lot of sleeping. It’s always nice to walk by when they’re awake and playing, even if it is a bit lazily.
I was taking pictures, making no sound, not knocking on the window or anything, and this one just looked up at me, for all the world as if to make sure I was watching.
Kitten dilemma: I want to play, but I don’t want to get up. Things continued along those lines for quite a while.
