    I love that little wiggly but when he walks away!

    • Elaine Williamson November 1, 2016 / 2:54 pm

      Me too.

    • Kar November 1, 2016 / 11:52 pm

      You realize that he could’ve used that water bowl as a lap pool, right?

    • Haha November 4, 2016 / 4:06 am

      My favorite part! So cute! A compilation of this pup looking around and walking away would be awesome.

    oh, so cute. I feel for this puppeh. I am short too although not nearly as cute. I’d be tempted to put a small step on the platform until little girl gets longer legs.

    • Juno November 1, 2016 / 3:11 pm

      Yes, I was thinking maybe a little ramp. We short-legged creatures know how it is.

        A set of steps like for little dogs to get on the couch.

        • Elaine C Williamson November 1, 2016 / 4:22 pm

          After my dog broke his pelvis, (hit by a car ?), he could not jump on the couch but found he could get on the foot stool. We always made sure the stool was pushed against the couch.

          • allein ? November 1, 2016 / 4:27 pm

            Pablo didn’t have a stool. He just stared at us until someone picked him up.

            (Actually, he was a total faker. I was in the kitchen once, and I had left him in the living room on the floor. I came back and he was curled up in my seat on the couch. But if someone was in the room, he was all, “oh, no, I can’t do it myself! I’m too little!”)

              My uncle’s dog was the same way when I was staying at home. Lucky for him I could never resist the eyes.

      I, too, am vertically challenged and I dislike the tall chairs found in coffee shops! I have to practically climb into them! Thankfully, no had ever made a video of me doing so! I sure am glad someone filmed this roly-poly pup, though. Adorable!

      • Rachel November 1, 2016 / 8:02 pm

        Same here – I used to be able to hop up into those chairs pretty easily, but, well, as the years go by, it’s not so easy…

        But what a darling pup!

    • Kar November 1, 2016 / 11:51 pm

      My least favorite short moment had to be trying to reach the top shelf at Harris Teeters.

      Grabbed a spatula with the intention of pulling down a few cans that I’d catch with my other hand.

      Well, THAT didn’t work the way that I expected. Guy walked past and hid his snickering enough to offer assistance but after “Owing” five times after five cans landed on my head, I had all that I needed

      • Haha November 4, 2016 / 4:04 am

        Shhh
        Eyes looking side to side
        If no one is around to help, I’ll climb the shelves.
        If they don’t want me to climb, they should provide a stool to reach the higher products.

    The wrinkly butt! The wee little grunts! I’ve melted!

  5. Phred's Mom November 1, 2016 / 2:55 pm

    My bed is so high, this is me every night.

    • allein ? November 1, 2016 / 3:26 pm

      When I was in college, I used to babysit during my breaks for a family that lived in one of the McMansion developments that used to be cornfields near my parents’ house. One year they had a New Year’s Eve party, and I was watching their kids at the next-door neighbors’ house (the neighbors were at the party). So of course I had to check out the house. The bed in the master bedroom was so high it had a stool with two steps to get into it.

      • Murray C. November 1, 2016 / 8:27 pm

        Very Victorian.

      • Kar November 1, 2016 / 11:55 pm

        We were going to lunch and the good ol’ boy who was driving had huge wheels on his F150.

        I was in a skirt and had to tell everyone of them to turn around while I hiked up my skirt to my waist to climb up to the cab.

  6. Doug November 1, 2016 / 3:19 pm

    I feel like that every day .. hehe

  7. Dana November 1, 2016 / 3:20 pm

    Love her look back at the camera, as if she’s saying “Ma, are ya watching?”.

    I wanted to give her little butt a nudge.

  8. Julie November 1, 2016 / 3:35 pm

    I wish people thought my wrinkly butt was as cute as the pup’s.

    This is the essence of “Ehn”! πŸ˜€

    • tara November 1, 2016 / 7:29 pm

      Yay! That’s what I was thinking too! πŸ™‚

  10. Starfish November 1, 2016 / 5:30 pm

    It used to be something of a rite of passage for any babies visiting (incl. me and all my cousins) to crawl up the step out of my grandma’s sunken living room into the rest of the house. And it always looked just like this.

  11. sugitomo November 1, 2016 / 9:59 pm

    Oh my god!!! So stubby, stumpy, wrinkly and chub-tacular!! If only I were as cute when I try to climb onto things with my short stumpy legs.

  12. JenDeyan November 2, 2016 / 8:03 am

    Okay. Just how many of us are height-challenged? *raises hand* This seems to be a trend. We should do a survey or something.

    • allein ? November 2, 2016 / 8:40 am

      I’m average now (just over 5’4″) but as a child I was small for my age. I was always climbing on counters to get things from the cabinets because it was easier than dragging a chair over. I was also always the one who had to crawl into the bushes for lost soccer balls and the like.

    • Smartypants November 2, 2016 / 9:56 am

      Me! 5’2″ – although I prefer to think of it as ‘fun-sized’…

      • Haha November 4, 2016 / 4:12 am

        5’1&1/2″ that 1/2 is IMPORTANT!
        Agreed, fun sized. I used to have a shirt that read, “I’m not short, I’m funsized” Going to have to get another of those.
        99% of the time I’m happy with it. ☺️

    • Duckie ? November 2, 2016 / 11:33 am

      5’2″. And my chubble is nowhere as cute as this puppy’s is.

    • Catwhisperer November 2, 2016 / 1:49 pm

      5’2″ also.

    • Clairdelune November 3, 2016 / 10:44 am

      Alas, I’ve shrunk to barely 5 feet……. maybe less by this month… πŸ™

  13. Murray C. November 2, 2016 / 4:24 pm

    I’m about 5’9″, about 3/4″ down from my youthful maximum. I look out for vertically challenged people at the grocery store to help avoid such scenarios as KAR’s.

    • Haha November 4, 2016 / 4:14 am

      ?

    • Faye November 4, 2016 / 6:28 am

      I’m 5’2″ also. I live with tall people. Every once in awhile someone tidying up puts the salt, pepper, dried garlic and olive oil where THEY think these belong: top shelf of top cabinet. Sigh.

      • allein ? November 4, 2016 / 7:52 am

        I’m average but I have several tall family members who make me feel short. My cousin’s son is 6’4″.

        • Haha November 4, 2016 / 8:20 am

          I’m petite and have cousins who are 7’2″. Go figure.

          • allein ? November 4, 2016 / 8:59 am

            That cousin’s whole family is tall. She and her two daughters are all around 5’9″ and her husband is about 6’3″. She’s my mom’s sister’s daughter (her other daughter is also 5’9″ish, with an average-height hubby and three girls who are all taller than me). Then her oldest brother has two sons who are probably around 6 feet. One of them has two tall kids (though their mother isn’t much over 5 feet), and the other has one short kid (and a short wife). And her other brother has one tall kid and one shortish kid (still taller than me but shorter than average for a guy).

            My mom, on the other hand, is maybe 5’1″ and my dad is about 5’8″, and I’m pretty much right in between. My brother is a little taller than my dad.

          • Murray C. November 4, 2016 / 1:30 pm

            Now you’re talking tall! I went out with someone 6’8″ and that was just too tall – hurt my neck just looking up at him! He was pretty adorable, tho’.

        • Murray C. November 4, 2016 / 1:26 pm

          My husband is 6’4″ and both of us are pretty slim – he ridiculously so – we have a friend who calls us “The Greyhounds” which makes me LAUGH!

          • allein ? November 4, 2016 / 1:42 pm

            I have a friend who is 6 feet and her husband is 6’3″. I’m interested to see how tall her kids turn out (they’re only 6 and 4 so I’ll have to wait a few years yet).
