What you can't see in this cropped picture are the little guy's good-looking and doting parents, who are posing for their engagement photos. He's no doubt an energetic pup, shown below with pal Finley, an English bulldog.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PfDpcdGnn7I/Ri7Z9XYllxI/AAAAAAAAABc/2Zc6ld4RCys/s1600-h/PB210038.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PfDpcdGnn7I/Ri7Z9XYllxI/AAAAAAAAABc/2Zc6ld4RCys/s400/PB210038.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057219079856035602" border="0" /></a><br />Thanks to Fiona S. from Mountain View.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/371062699193034860-8674474875711938239?l=uglycute.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>giantskittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05156718921066588696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371062699193034860.post-82816168096503823042007-04-24T15:18:00.000-07:002007-04-24T15:38:50.198-07:00Our second post comes from Deborah M. in Ohio. Dexter is a lovable (and sleepy) lhasa apso. Note: mashed-up face, worried helpless expression, discoloration about the shoulders, and dejected supine posture.

Here, we focus on <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ugly+cute">"uglycute,"</a> a variation of the term <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sexyugly">"sexyugly"</a> that was popularized by the film <span style="font-style: italic;">Kissing Jessica Stein</span>. That is to say, things (doggies and other animals, babies, situations) that are so monstrous and ugly that they are lovable in their very ugliness.<br /><br />This subject is near and dear to my heart, as I myself was a very ugly-cute child. If you're nice, I just might post baby pictures. But to kick things off, our first submission is from Garry T. with his nameless bunny who loves stale bread:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PfDpcdGnn7I/RhwIOoxlC2I/AAAAAAAAAAU/ikz0ZKf2M_c/s1600-h/Ugly+Cute+Rabbit.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051921929559411554" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; cursor: pointer; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PfDpcdGnn7I/RhwIOoxlC2I/AAAAAAAAAAU/ikz0ZKf2M_c/s400/Ugly+Cute+Rabbit.jpg" border="0" /></a>* num num num num num *<br /><br />Send submissions to uglycuteness@gmail.com.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/371062699193034860-4710186034577958767?l=uglycute.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>giantskittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05156718921066588696noreply@blogger.com0
