I had that couch once. How weird. And UGLY. My gawd, it still is. All the sleeping critters are adorable, though. Each and every one. ---

Can we knock it off with the baby pictures, or at least put a warning on them? Some of us don’t think babies are cute when we’re expecting kitties. ETA: And by “some of us,” I mean me. There may be others, but I can’t speak for them. ---

> [@NinjaChick](#): > > Yes, sleeping puppies. > > I accidentally deleted it, but last night I was the recipient of a picture of a big crate filled with blankets, chewtoys, and a pile of six(!) dachshund puppies, who had clearly had a very exciting day and were just (sorry) dog tired. It was the most adorable little bundle of ridiculously short legs and long ears you could ever possibly imagine. Agreed. (I’m looking at one curled up, sleeping peacefully right now) To be fair, though, kittens are cute when they are wake with their bright eyes. Of course, a puppy can out-do a kitten any day. Once they put on the big puppy dog eyes. ---

> [@Captain\_Carrot](#): > > :sobs: Why do you work them so hard, every day! They just have to go to sleep on the couch! Poor little puppies. I bet nobody ever pets or feeds them. Hee! That’s what I say whenever I visit my friends’ dogs. They always greet me at the door, I sit down on the couch, and they jump up and instantly go into ‘Need to be petted, RIGHT NOW!’ mode. “Your poor dogs! No one EVER pets them or feeds them!” 🙂 ---

Strangely, I don’t have many sleeping kitty photos. I should remedy that! The quality of these two pictures is bad, but they show two Big Fat Kitties each failing at fitting into the box: [Halley in a box](http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/jsgoddess/?action=view¤t=halleyinabox.jpg) and [Orson in the same box](http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/jsgoddess/?action=view¤t=Orsoninabox-1.jpg) And then there’s [Albert](http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/jsgoddess/?action=view¤t=albert021308_006.jpg) who fell asleep while grooming. He stayed like that for at least 10 minutes. ---
