I can’t find the original thread I posted about my new puppy, Bunny, but it didn’t have pictures. Here, now, are a couple pictures of 9 week old Bunny:

I’m sorry, that’s not a dog. What you have there appears to be a ball of fluff. An adorable one, too.

Oh lord that thing is cute. And puppy breath really is the best, especially when they fall asleep curled up by your neck. Now, can someone tell me how to turn foul dog breath back to sweet puppy breath?

If innocence had a smell, it would smell like puppy breath.

Bunny is a Papillon, she’ll be about 10-12 lbs. when full grown. Wonderful little dogs, not foo-foo at all. Actually one of the top obedience breeds.

She is busy at this moment charming my 5 year old female Gordon Setter, licking her eyes, nibbling her lips and tugging on her hair. Kharma has adopted her, I think.

I’m immune to cuteness, except when it comes to puppies and baby polar bears. I remember when the non-news Knut story was everywhere, I’d run to the TV machine every time I heard the name. I would become infuriated when they would talk about it, but not show any footage. Come on, people! The whole point of this fabricated story is so we can all ogle the cute little polar bear!

Anyway, adorable pup. I am so in love with its cute little face.

Your puppy is, of course, cute.

And puppy breath is the most delicious smell in the world. I wish it could be bottled. But of course, who knows how delightful it would be if it was emanating from anything other than the sweet little licky face of a puppy?

Cute…yeah, cute. All I can say is that God made Puppies CUTE so that we do not kill them. Little Miss THANG thinks she is all that and a bag of chips. My sweet, wonderful puppy who learned her name after only a couple days has now UNlearned it when she doesn’t want to come inside from the back yard. I believe it’s known as selective hearing. She can’t tell me with THISE ears that she does not HEAR me. _sigh_

I’ll be in my padded room now.

Actually, I think it’s “selective deafness”.  
And I must be typhoid Mary because nothing in my house listens to me…children or dogs or cats.

My best friends’ dog is like that, too. With him, though, it’s “If I’m not looking at you, I -obviously- can’t hear you!” So, when he doesn’t want to hear, he turns his head away.
