Chuck, crackbaby
As part of ongoing experimentation with features on this website which recently has included opening up comments, purchase of a dedicated server to handle bandwidth, and new mastheads every month, I've decided to expand this site's content to include weekly video and audio posts. We experimented with audio before (here and here), and that will continue soon once we figure out how to capture a clip that doesn't sound like it's being recorded inside a jet engine.
Today will be the first in a weekly series of small video posts, and since this is still in the experimental stage I'm starting off with a very small video (with no accompanying audio) just in case our server explodes from the downloads.
This clip was recorded in April 2002 in Los Angeles on our Nikon Coolpix 990 before we ever bought a proper camcorder. Chuck was probably eight weeks old, and it was during this incorrigible phase of his life that I asked the Lord every morning to give me strength not to drop kick him off the top of our two-story apartment building.

OMG, that is hysterical.

That is a cute puppy.
3. Cindy said:
He's soooo cute! I want to eat him!
4. Squirrelly said:
Dude, that dog is so cute I want to put him on a hamburger bun and weave a fanciful crown of parsley garnish about his little doggy ears. Which is to say, in Kentucky parlance, I could just eat him up. ;)
Also: thanks for opening comments. Shwing!

I am a bit techy-dumb, but what type of media player do I need to have installed to view the video file? The usuals (Windows media player, RealPlayer, etc.) aren't recognizing the .mov file extension.
6. hiddenexposures said:
chuckles mcbuckles!
i bet you had thought "how do parents deal with crying babies in the middle of the night? this puppy won't sleep through the night and it's killing me!"
but oh, how the cuteness is worth it.
7. dooce said:
mmmfrogs, you need quicktime, which you can get here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
8. hiddenexposures said:
and for mmmfrogs - try quicktime.
9. Charles R. Kaiser said:
Damn I love Chuck!
mmmfrogs you need Quicktime to see a .mov file.
If you install it using Internet Explorer it will save you having to install iTunes with it like it makes you di with Firefox. . .
10. lixxie said:
I have seen Chuck in motion; my life is now complete.
Yay for the new features! It is a new era of Doociness..
11. Beverlee said:
This picture of tiny Chuck has brought back a sudden menory of this toy dog that my uncle gave me. I loved it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to view the reel.
12. christine. said:
I can't believe that's the same dog you have now. What a little freak. What's your secret to the successful pooch you have now? Dogger Zapper? Bark collar? Boot-camp? I have two bastards, one is the instigator, the other is just dumb.
13. jehprb said:
too adorable!!
14. Bre said:
I clearly missed the point of the video, because the first words out of my mouth were. "Let's get a puppy!!!!"
15. Ursula said:
Sadly, I can't see the video. The Quicktime ap that I need is not available on the Web site.
16. christine. said:
no, drugs, you use drugs.
17. Charles R. Kaiser said:
I should clarify my comment:
If you try to view the clip using Firefox, your browser won’t know what to do. If you try to view the clip using Internet Explorer, it will know that you need Quicktime, and it will allow you to install it without having to also install iTunes which you HAVE to install if you use the Download link provided by Heather.
Once you have installed Quicktime, it will work with any browser.
Hope that helps! If it doesn’t help, please feel free to delete this comment at will, or print it out and back over it in your car, or whatever. . .
18. JessicaRabbit said:
That is adorable, but um, my 116 pound 11 month old Saint Bernard still does that, and it's not so cute anymore.
Wanna trade??? She can pull you around town in a cart, people would be so jealous....
19. rivetergirl said:
It's the ears. The ears and the little puppy eyes are the reason more puppies aren't disposed of before they reach maturity.
20. Manda said:
Aww, I want me some puppy!
21. hilary said:
Ditto what Ursula said. I have Quicktime, and I can see the little slidey thing move as if there's a movie playing, but alas, no movie. Quicktime says I need an update, but then goes on to say that there is no update available.
Maybe I need a Mac? :/
22. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Funny, he doesn't look like any of MY crack babies.
But, you know...unless you're taken C-section, we're ALL crack babies.
23. Jennifer in Kansas City said:
Well, the picture will have to tide me over.... what a li'l punkin! (My work internet is powered by gnomes, chicken-flavored crackers & a hamster wheel.)
24. Chelley said:
I'm having the same issues Hilary is having. I see the little slider, but no Chuck! :(
25. Cloudy said:
I love him so so much, I think I might die.
26. Jessica said:
Oh my god he's the cutest little doggy ever
Works for me on a WinXP PC with Quicktime 7.0.4
27. erin said:
Love it - I especially like how you can time his little puppy attention span...BITE THE CAMERA BITE THE CAMERA oh hey now what's that over there? AWESOME.
FWIW, fellow Firefoxers, just download the standalone version, install, and FF will pick it up. No IE necessary.
28. Heather Anne said:
That’s a bit foreboding, isn’t it? He was trying to eat you before he even had teeth!
29. Erika said:
Aw, but just like kids, you forget what they grow up into, unless you occassionaly look back.
30. Charles R. Kaiser said:
Doh! Standalone version! I swear that wasn't there when I last tried to install quicktime about a month ago! And I didn't even look today!
At any rate, for those of you who are having trouble with an older version of Quicktime, best course of action is to uninstall Quicktime and do a new install of the new version. This bypasses the need for an upgrade.
31. Mary Craig said:
Crack puppies. It's a national dilemma.
It's a good thing he was so cute, it's probably the only thing that saved him from that free two story ride to OuchieVille.
I, too, have been delighted with the opening of the comments. I most always have something to say and am glad of the chance to say it.
32. Annie said:
I have never before wanted so badly to swallow a puppy whole.
33. Pomme said:
Bummer, I'm having the same issue as Hillary and Chelley ...
I'm so glad you opened up comments - I love you/your site and Chuck is beyond adorable as a puppy, which probably played a role in saving him from being chuck'd out the window
34. Heather said:
My Quick time is not working... I'm very sad that I can not see Chuck in action, but the picture is ADORABLE!!
35. kate gee said:
Oh my god I could not picture The Chuck as a baby... I bet he's in the basement muttering in angst and embarrassment.
36. vegasandvenice said:
A lurker who has read your site like a human novel and loved it more than any reality show (including Rollergirls), this is my first post.
This video is very cute and almost makes you forget that there is such a thing as "Post Puppy Depression" It also tries to erase the memory that said syndrome can only be alleviated with prescription drugs for both you and said puppy!!
Keep on Keepin on! (sometimes I am such a dork!)
37. JustLinda said:
I wasn't around in the puppy-Chuck days so --- awwww... what a cutie.
Well, I mean, I was around as in ALIVE but I wasn't a reader-of-the-blog back then. I wasn't around HERE.
Just tell me to shut-up. I'd understand. haha
38. Bill said:
I would think that being that cute would wear one out. And, he's still got it.
39. Bec in Ozland said:
He was as lovely then as he is today. :) I want another puppy! Gimme gimme!
My poor old dog is sick with cancer and very old, but he still has puppy written all over his face. He was the cutest puppy, a big fluffball of golden retreiver. :)
40. blurb said:
For those of you who can't view the video, try to see it over here:

41. Katie said:
Oh my god, I love it! I hope you can continue to post these.
I also like the opening up of the comments...
42. kawaface said:
ohhhh the fuzzy goodness! aaaaadorable!
43. tksinclair said:
The amazing degree of cuteness in your adorable Chuck-pup is how I ended up with four dogs. It started with kids until my husband said "That's it! NO more kids! I don't care how cute they are!" Now it's me telling him, "That's it! NO more dogs! I don't care how cute they are!"
44. RzDrms said:
shuck is just so darned CUTE! i'm just gonna keep hoping we eventually get to see leta! running! down the sidewalk! yipppeee!!!
45. Jules said:
I am now officially in love with Chuck! I can't believe how perky his ears were when he was so teeny. I am having strong urges lately to adopt a new puppy - thank goodness there are no baby Chucks around
46. ash said:
I love puppies anyway, but I think this makes me love them more!
47. Cassie said:
awww! so cute!!! almost makes me want to give up my "must get a kitten" obession in favor of a puppy. Almost ;)
48. RzDrms said:
SL: try this http://youtube.com/watch?v=H5mJZGgbYI4
no quicktime required. :)
49. Wendy Mac said:
Heather, LOVE the video feature, and the audio features were adorable, too, and I didn't care if they did sound like you were in a jet engine.
The youtube feature works just fine. If you find the hosting on your site takes too much space, make us go to youtube.
Thanks for sharing!
50. blondeinthemidwest said:
Oh how I wish there was a breeder for "Chuck's". He is the cutest dog I have EVER seen. No joke...
I love the fact that I can comment here too!! There have been so many posts that I have wanted to comment positively on and I appreciate the fact that you trust us enough to allow it here and there (again)!! ;o)
51. mmmfrogs said:
got it to work now. cute :)
52. Carli said:
I can practically SMELL the puppy breath! And the pee puddles in the corners, the overpowering smell of Resolve, sweat and stress. The puppy years are a great training ground for the toddler years. Hey, I wonder if rolled up newspapers work on 3 year olds or not.....
53. empresschrys said:
Dammit Heather!
I have been fighting off the urge to get a dog for months now and you go and ruin all that hard work by showing me the most adorable thing I HAVE EVER SEEN.
I love Chuck now in his angst ridden teenage form. The sight of him as a little ball of puppy fluff is just too much for my heart to take.
*sigh* I am just going to have to get a puppy. I hope my cats understand...
54. Bill said:
OK, my cat doesn't answer to "Sandy" so I'm going to call him "Chuck." Don't worry, he's a cute cat!
55. YankeeAmanda said:
Chuck was very cute as a puppy, but I'm supposing you had someone perform an exorcism on him, because he certainly was acting like a dog possessed!
56. deafmomworld said:
Oh, adorable pup! I wish I have a pup just like yours! I remember the good old days of chasing around a little puppy, going through the training terrors, sigh.
Anyway, I'm begging you, if you plan to change your blogs into audio, I'd die of deprivation!!! See... I'm deaf and can't hear to save my life. Oh, Dooce, oh can you take mercy and leave your fantastic blog same as usual so I can read in enjoyment everyday?
Oh Dooce, have mercy on me!
57. Nothing But Bonfires said:
I'm loving Chuck, of course, but most of all, I'm loving the fact that there were THREE DIFFERENT FLOOR SURFACES in your old apartment. You must have had some mad Swiffer skills.
58. Lisa said:
I can almost smell the puppy breath in that clip.
59. sprizee said:
Sold.
60. Caet said:
You'd never think from the movies that he would grow up to be a former Congressman.
61. Nils Ling said:
I love other peoples' puppies. My own puppies would drive me nuts. I suppose it's like being a grandparent and being able to give them back when you're done oohing and awwing over the cutidity.
62. Charles Hawtrey said:
So young and cute!
I think the idea of regular videos are great (assuming the server doesn't combust)!
63. Sarah said:
Glad to see Chuckacabra existed from birth!
64. laurie said:
Aww! he's sooo cute and precious!
65. Ida (Swede in Quebec) said:
Oh - what a cute/annoying little pup! Attacking the camera AND looking absolutely adorable at the same time... only pups can do that!
I look forward to other movies!
66. Tessa said:
Video and audio posts??
New mastheads every month?!
AWESOME! CAN'T WAIT!
(And great idea to post at youtube as well.)
67. meghann said:
pretty good for not being a proper video camera. I look forward to mroe :)
68. Janine said:
my dog does a similar 'bite the camera' thing.
Only the camera has been replaced with my hand, socks, underwear, face, left thigh, foot, misc. toys, knapsack, and yes.....my homework. Do you know how stupid I felt telling my high school english teacher tha my dog ate my assignment??
69. Miko Monkey said:
My 2¢: I love reading your blog & I enjoy Blurbomat but I already subscribe to more podcasts than I can listen to. Personally, I would likely not listen to/watch any clips you upload on a regular basis (the occassional cut Chuck & "You got the internet on that thing?" will be enjoyed).
70. islaygirl said:
omg, i somehow missed that you adopted chuck as a pup. i thot he came full-size. i don't need any encouragement to get a dog (i have 4, and my eye is on #5) but he is just adorable.
71. selfmaniac said:
Too freaking adorable! As a former streaming media specialist and current stay at home momma, feel free to pick my brain for any video advice!
72. AndreaBT said:
Well, youtube didn't work for me either, but that picture of Puppy Chuck is too freakin' cute. I can only imagine what havoc he is wreaking in the video...
And DeafMomWorld...I don't think Heather meant she was going to solely do audioblog entries, but they would make an occasional appearance.
73. honey bunny said:
ooh! little chuck is so cute. he's cute now, too, but there's something special about puppies, yaknow?
74. Karen Rani said:
Boy he was a scrappy little bugger, wasn't he? SO FREAKING CUTE! If I had dog ovaries, they would be itchy right now. Ruffy is 4 and I would love a new puppy to add to this chaos, but um, No.
75. eeek said:
Ahhh... playing 'bite the camera' we're good at that. But our favorite game is 'run and hide' from the camera.
Chuck is adorable now but as a baby he was blindingly sweet.
76. gabip said:
I want one of them there Chuck thingys. Jeez he's a cutie, no wonder he cops a tude so often.
77. kidsmom said:
You have such cute kids!
78. AshleyRose said:
OMG he is SO cute!!!! Okay, I'm generally a lurker, but the cuteness of his puppy face made me so happy that I had to say something!!
79. Deb said:
I have been wanting to put little movies on my site too. Curious about how you did it...if you feel like sharing the mojo.
One of my best friends is mormon and my husband is an almost x mormon, so I absolutely die rolling on the floor laughing at so many of your stories. We have kids together so you can imagine the weird fights we have over owning a coffee maker and how this may or may not influence said children!!!
80. Torrie said:
Aaaaaak! Can't breathe.... TOO CUTE....
*GASP*
I hope you can live with the fact that you have killed me.
I am dead.
ON THE FLOOR.
81. Tiggerlane said:
Oh. My. Gawd.
I think I just had a pupgasm.
THE EARS!!
Thanks for the youtube clip - I thought I was going to have a coronary when the quicktime didn't work.
Ever think of creating the spawn of Chuck?
82. Strizz said:
Very cute! His ears are so cute I want to peirce (or is it pierce I never friggin know, but pierce looks right{er}) them and hang pretty earrings from them.

How amazing that something so evil looking as a puppy can turn out to be such a respected member of society when older..
89. cdkscully said:
Ahhh the puppy years!
Now that brings back memories.
The chewing.
The destroying of shoes, socks, clothes...
Chewing everything in sight.
yeah.

Detroit Free Press tech writer Mike Wendland posts video clips of pretty good quality on his blog at pcmike.com. It might be worth a look.

What a cute puppy he was! At first I thought he was going to have a little animal fun with the stuffed animal!
93. greenthumb said:
Seeing that snapping mouth of needle sharp teeth...ya, all to real over here at the casa de homo's. Lucy is so mouthy...drivingmecrazy. I found small scabs on Harlow tonight, apparently she's taking it for the team more than we are. We're at 10 weeks and growing, growing....you get the idea.
That said...How freakin' cute is and was that Chuck? OMG!!!
94. Melly said:
That video needs to come with a Surgeon General's warning - I died from the cuteness.
95. anneelizmary said:
Thanks for the chomp down memory lane. My standard poodle (Lizzy, Chuck's dream date) still does that mouth thing at 4 years unless a tennis ball is inserted, completing the "chomp!" circuit in her brain.
Thanks Charles R. for the Quicktime tip. Off to uninstall/reinstall!
96. sassy7cassy said:
That stuff animal had me thinking that video would turn out a LOT different than it did.
What a precious little dogger! He's grown into such a fine young man.

102. DesertJade said:
Have you ever thought of the MONEY you would make by cloning Chuck? Not to everyone, you gotta keep the supply and demand in your favor. Maybe only offer 2 or 3 to some top bidders. Just an idea.
I have a friend who has a dog that looks like a mini chuck. He is some mix of chihuahua/dachshund/corgi or somthin. I'll try to get a pic and send it to you. The resemblance is amazing!

I think that just made my heart explode. Chuck was an adorable puppy.
106. Ryan @ The OC Blog said:
That reminds me of my former roommate's puppy, a doberman pinscher. He was as active as Chuck, although a little bit shy at first.
I wish I could afford a dedicated server.. that'd be so cool. Hmm.. maybe I should push my customized hosting services more aggressively.
107. Torence said:
OMG SO PRECIOUS! I didn't have a camera when my dog was that little!

Advice:
Next time you get a puppy, have it bronzed. This not only calms their shit down, it also keeps them puppy-style cute till the end of time.
(Does it work on human babies? Happily, yes!)

Chuck was so cute as a puppy that my brain melted. Now I have to clean up melted brains. Thanks a lot.

I was able to view Chuck on the youtube site. Had the same problem with Quicktime as some of the others did.
Chuck is so adoreable.
Love your blog...been reading you ever since you started! Looking at your gorgeous pictures of Utah makes me want to visit there someday too.
113. Kim E said:
I don't think Chuck could have been a cuter baby or a cooler grown up dog. He rocks.

116. Chloe said:
Might I join in on the rejoicing about the re-opening of the comments? I don't tend to have anything especially good to say, but I like to read other people's comments, and be struck by how 99% of us have the exact same reaction to something posted. Regarding the new comment policy, I guess the age of thirteen posts per entry that simply say "FIRST!" is now over. Can't imagine how THAT ever got old.
I ALSO need to get a newer version of Quicktime, cause it wouldn't work for me, either-- went to youtube.
Future Senator Chucklesworth was even cuter as a puppy! I didn't think that was possible. And while I remember dealing with a puppy of that age, with the little needle teeth and the constant need to play or pee or poop or drop down into a sudden sleep for five minutes before it's time to PLAY again... goddamn, puppies are cute little motherfuckers. And, awww.

119. Scheherazade said:
Aww, that's adorable. I bet it's hard to believe he was ever that small!
When we got our Lab/Weimaraner, he could sit on my hand, now we're lucky if his paw fits on my hand!

this day wasn't looking good: up at 4, jammed my neck rolling around trying to get back to sleep at 5, gave up and crawled up from my cave at 6.
but, ah, sweet puppy chuck with my morning coffee. much better now.
121. BeachMama said:
How cute is Chuck?? I wish we had video of our dogs when they were puppies. It would remind me that they were once sweet, cute , small dogs. Not the burly, huge 10 and 6 year olds that they are!
122. Hannah B. said:
Awwww, they always look like little angels...when they're they're sitting still. Bubba was a crackbaby, too, or would have been if crack was readily available back then. Perhaps a PCP baby? At any rate, a wild thing who bit and scratched, but, as the video clearly showed, a cat's jaws are much smaller than Chuck's were even when he was a fuzzy-wuzzy pup.
123. Ms*Polly said:
OMG. Chuck makes me turn to a lump of blubbering mush. In the best possible sense, of course. ;D

That dog is too dang cute. Almost makes me want to get one. Need to walk neighbor's dog to get over the urge. Thanks, it's snowing here!
125. thleen said:
Thanks for the Chuck Video. He is way too cute.If only they could stay that little, but less annoying.
You could market Chuck Dolls and retire in a few years.
126. BigA said:
He's like a cross between a bunny rabbit and a piranha (or like that time Bugs put some giant dentures in his mouth).

Aw, widdle Chuckie. Too bad you don't have one of him wizzing on the floor. That would certainly ensure a catastrophic meltdown of the server, b/c who doesn't want to see a puppy mess up your floor???

Your audio.... aahhhh, as my husband says, "embrace your Redneck roots..."

oh...my... GOD. adooooooooorable
i swear, chuck is the cutest dog EVER.
one of my favorite gifts from last christmas was the chuck calendar.
what's really funny about it is explaining to non-doocers why i have pictures of a stranger's dog on my wall...
142. Snickrsnack Katie said:
I love this. I love how he snaps at the camera, like he is trying to eat it. God, I want a puppy. Except I know I would want to drop kick it and I live in a first story condo, so I wouldn't have that second story option. I lived with my sister years ago when she got a puppy, and that little guy was the loudest, most pathetic creature I have ever encountered. Unfortunately for him and for all of us who put up with him, he was not too smart and was a constantly horny dog, and he would dry hump his little green blanket CONSTANTLY. Somehow that adorable puppy phase is overcome when they start dry humping inanimate objects. Luckily for you, Chuck looks sounds like a very cool, intelligent, and thankfully nut-less dog. And he is STILL just as cute as an adult dog. Thanks for sharing the video!
143. Jennifer said:
This sentence is so beautifully written! "I asked the Lord every morning to give me strength not to drop kick him off the top of our two-story apartment building."
I prayed this many times when my puppy came home.
So funny!

What kind of dog it Chuck? I want one when I grow up.
He is adorable then and now!

Oh my GOSH is he adorable or what? Thanks for sharing the cute factor this morning.
146. Danielle said:
Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppy chuck!
I think that for the next video, it should be of you guys getting Chuck to stay still for either the
A) noodles around his snout
B) pick up sticks on his head
C) clothing on his head ala. "king chuck" which by the way was utterly hilarious
or perhaps how he stands still while you put treats on his nose. Does he then flick them up and catch them in his mouth? I've always wondered about that.
Just a few ideas. Thanks for the morning dose of cuteness. PUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppy chuck is always a winner.

Heather, you're my freaking idol, I swear....I want a puppy and a baby as cute as yours! I already have a hot geeky good-smelling husband, but I'm damned impatient for the rest. And you make me count blessings: that as bad as I thought being raised Catholic was, it wasn't BYU/Mormonism et al!

It's just wrong when puppies are cuter than babies.

Awww, the cuteness knocked me right over. I might think I needed a puppy, but I'm almost certain my cat would not approve. Thanks for opening comments. I love your site. :)

Now, the real question is:
Did the former congressman ever sign a pawprint on the release of his toddler video?

i'm increasingly convinced the young have evolved cute only so we are not compelled to kill them.

I heart puppy-Chuck!
We introduced my roommates dog to her Chinchilla yesterday (they've always had a cage between them). He kept lunging at her (like Chuck was). We kept insisting Chinchilla's were not in fact tasty snacks, when we realized all he was trying to do was lick her ear.
Moral of the story...if someone lunges at you, maybe they're just trying to lick your ear. :-)

All these "cute!" posts (mine included) remind me of the episode of the Newlyweds where Jessica and her mom are shopping and say "that's cute", "CUUUTE!", "oh, cute" something like 349 times in a one-minute clip.
So let's say it again: Awwww, cuuuuuuuuuuuute!
