Puppie Love
FOUND by P. in New York City, New York
Found this on top of a music listening station while shopping at FAO Swartz, in the basement baby section. If UNO loves me, the world is still good.

Aww. Aww.

Poor Uno looks so sad, he probably hates you for making him wear that dumb hat, I would.

I feel just like this dog looks sometimes.

Uno loves you...
despite the restraining order that Uno knows you don't really mean.

Uno reminds me of an Ewok. And a Furby. And a Gremlin.

I love you too, Uno.

Uno is owned by Maud, a backyard breeder who was widowed relatively young. Her kids are grown and gone far away, so she sublimates her frustrated maternal instinct by collecting porcelain babydolls from the shopping channel and designing handmade wardrobes for them, and breeding little doggies. However, her imagination isn't too good at names, so she finally plumped for numbering the doggies in her pack...foriegn languages sound cooler to her, so she alternates between Spanish, French and Italian. Uno is one of her prize pups. His littermates, Due, Tre and Quattro are already spoken for. This is a proof photo of a Christmas card sent out to prospective clients as well as the vet, the warehouse she buys dogfood in bulk from (they deliver, which is good because she's too petite to hulk those 50 pound sacks around herself) and the pet supply store that provides her with idiot hats, sunglasses and doggie outfits. They know they can sell Maud anything that could remotely be classified as "cute," no matter the price. And they really like Maud's money.

Maud dropped the photo in FAO's baby department while looking for a cradle to transform into Uno's permanent sleeping quarters with a few vintage quilts and satin baby pillows.

Maybe Uno isn't the dog. Maybe Uno is the dog owner who talks about themselves in the 3rd person.

Who names their dog after a card game?

It's sad what vets will do to animals before putting them to sleep....
+ November 17, 2008 08:44 AM +
Uno in a poo hat
Then again, who names a card game after a numero?

Is Uno wearing a fashionable halter top that matches the hat?

i sure hope that hat says "animal" beneath "party" and behind the tinsel. if not, it's just tacky.

Am the only one that cannot see the photo? I can only see the caption. I gather it is a picture of a puppy in a hat?

@Nadine-

Yes, I think it's a Yorkie and it's as cute as can be....

gazing deeply in to the abyss
if you look closely at the reflection in Uno's eye it looks like two people kissing. (or one of them may be Yoda. The other one looks like a nurse in old fashioned nurse's whites complete with the cute little hat.)

this poor dog :-/ he is probably spoiled to death somewhere. my aunt throws birthday parties for her dog and calls to invite our dog over. it is crazy. poor uno. but i am glad he loves me!

the party animal hat, the fashionable halter top, these are a bit much. but the fur stole is inexcusable. no wonder uno looks humiliated.

today is my birthday, and because I recently moved here, I don't really have friends to celebrate with. this Find makes me feel a little less sad.

Animals in clothing isn't always wrong. My Great Dane puppy, Maverick, has to wear jackets outside because he gets too cold. It's functional and cute.

@smallbear. Most animals know this, too. An animal that permits itself to be dressed in garments is just one small step from becoming tofu with legs.

@Lauren. Maverick. Nothing left to say.

Despite what I said about animals wearing clothes above, I'm not a bare bear. In case anyone was wondering.*hee hee*

Smallbear, I am wondering if it is getting time for you to hibernate. Will you leave us for the winter?

@ Smallbear: Are you like Yogi Bear, wearing a vest, tie, hat, and no pants? I always thought that was an interesting concept for cartoon animals like Porky Pig, Donald Duck, et al, to not wear pants.

That was the cutest thing I've seen all month. It's not so much the hat as the text ^.^

My favorite part is the little stars that hang off the tinsel on his hat.
My doberman won't go out in the cold without his down ski vest.

Just to clarify, the name Maverick has NOTHING to do with the Republican Party. I had the name picked out like a year ago. It's sad that McCain/Palin exploited his name for a bit.
+ November 18, 2008 09:34 AM +
so much fun living in the past. Far better than the alternative.
hmm my first thought upon hearing Maverick was Top Gun. (mmmmm IceMan.)

lady and the goose
At least you know that no matter what you do, Uno still loves you. Sigh... what unconditional love! Although, it's probably influenced by the fact that you feed Uno every day.

CHOMP! CHOMP! *the bear eats Sammy Davis Junior Jr* Burp!

@Geek Nope I'm not like any cartoon bears or other animals, I always wear pants. :)

Smallbear in the Cave
*Blushes,feeling guilty* Rereading your post I wondered if I wasn't being hasty in my reaction. Were you just innocently wondering if I hibernate or were you telling me I should shove off for the Winter, because you find me annoying?

Btw unlike most bears I don't hibernate in the winter. Maybe I have some Polar bear blood in me,who knows?

Awww, Sammy Davis Junior Jr... don't eat her!!!!

Ell- in g-ton!
I find you annoying smallbear. Don't you find yourself annoying? With your heehee I wear pants comments and your self congratulation.
But that's just my opinion had to say it.

Be careful what you say to Smallbear, particularly if it has Polar bear in it. To polar bears, there are 2 kinds of creatures on earth: other polar bears and food.

Besides, Ell-in g-ton, how do you know no one finds you irritating? Self congratulation is no worse than unsolicited condescension.

If you don't like my schtick don't read my comments.
Besides I'd rather be found annoying than boring!

Thanks Orinoco and cast in g aspersions for the support! I appreciate it. :)

Shut up with the chomp chomp bear shit. It's retarded. You have some weird obsession with comparing yourself to a bear.

I repeat: If you don't like my schtick, DON'T read my comments!!! Asswhole!

Smallbear in blushing and annoyed
I promise I will not say anything further about this subject after this. What I meant when I made the above angry comment was:

I can't believe how seriously some people are taking this business! Seriously, "Smallbear" is an internet persona I put on for fun. I try not to let it get annoying by pretending to really be a bear too often. But, I figure why call yourself Smallbear if you can't have fun with it? Smallbear is the side of me that doesn't take itself too seriously.The side of me that likes to be silly and fool around. That's why I let the 'bear' out when someone calls me annoying, in order to express my displeasure without getting really angry. I chomp, chomp in order to defuse the situation. Apparently some people don't understand this.

This site is a place where, I for one, come to relax and relieve stress. To think about things that have nothing to do with my real life. To banter with "friends", to be silly and creative, irrelevant and relaxed.That's all. I love this place-and all the interesting, weird, serious and silly conversations that we have with each other, daily-even if it doesn't always love me back!

Smallbear, never rise to a troll. That's what they want.

Be who you are, or who you want to be. The Bear is better company than the critics. The first one to show overt hostility is the one with the issues, and the person suffering from SOHF (Sense of Humour Failure) is the one with the problem.

Enjoy your woods, just as our Orinoco enjoys being underground, and I enjoy my herb garden...very mulch.

Thanks Baby Basil for the support and the words of wisdom about trolls. *sighs* Damn those nasty Trolls they always get my anger up even though I should know better! *repeats* Ignore the trolls, ignore the trolls, ignore the trolls, ignore the trolls, ignore the trolls, ignore the trolls, ignore the trolls, ignore the trolls, ignore the trolls, ignore the trolls, ignore the trolls, ignore the trolls...(they're probably just jealous.)
