Greetings from Doxie Caverns

Coco’s three mini dachshund puppies are bigger, bolder and ready to go exploring. Today they’re camping in a blanket cave, and maybe tomorrow they’ll visit Fort Dox, which is made from sofa cushions.

Somebody Call a Bear Hunter?

Morning, ma’am. Heard you were having some troubles with bears in this area. Found a bunch of ’em out in the woods today, having a picnic or something, so I roughed one of ’em up to show the others who’s boss. Don’t think they’ll bother you no more. You’re welcome.

Maybe She’s Born With It

Cutetropolis reader AB, best known for sharing photos of her adorable Frenchies Grogu and Rey, has some new photos of a girl whose eyelashes are batting a thousand:

It’s well known that animators love to give “girl” animal characters long, flirty eyelashes to distinguish them from their male counterparts. Of course, this practice is silly and unrealistic.

Um, yeah, about that…

This is how I can tell that Mila the cocker spaniel is actually some sort of cyndroid being (probably engineered by Disney) and not an actual dog.

Nope, I’m all real.

I also have my doubts about her brother Theo, who predictably lacks the excess eye fringe.

Him? He’s just an AI hallucination.
