Chuckacabra
Be afraid. Be very, very afraid. Of the puppy.
A while ago Jon created a CHUCKACABRA desktop available for download here. It's pretty awesome.

18. RazDreams said:
what i wanna know is: what's the "R"-rated movie that this poor young pup is watching over there in the background?!
19. joy said:
Whoa, those eyes are just plain FREAKY.

22. Mir said:
Dr. Chuckles and Mr. FANG! You need to post that side-by-side with the pink striped t-shirt pic. Spooky!
23. christy said:
My dog does that when I blow in his face. He LOOOOOVES it!
24. minxlj said:
HA! I LOVE the Chuckacabra desktop, got it on all my Macs now :-)
25. vio said:
now if only you could command him to stand at the door with that face in case any overzealous mormons stop by!
26. Katie said:
Wow, do you brush his teeth? They're so shiny and white. Maybe Emily does that for him.
27. haplys said:
If my 91lb dog made that face at me I'd be skerred.
28. megan said:
haha! that download is hysterical - scary, yawning puppy - beware!! LOL
29. Brian said:
Hahaha, I thought the thumbnail was some sort of Grecian pool or something. Shows what I see.
Chuckles looks quite spooked, almost doggie-zombie like
30. Southern Fried Girl said:
That is spooky as hell.
31. Becky said:
If we pray really hard, can we get Chuck to never show those teeth around Leta? Or is that too much to ask of a puppy? Scary puppy, and perfect name for the pic.
Note to Chloe: Must at least post closer to 7:30 to be last. Try again?
32. Colleen from NJ said:
"canina dentata"

34. Katrina said:
So this is Chuck after he saw all the puppy love Emily gave all the other puppies...and not him. A dog scorned...
35. Jenny said:
So what amazing treat were you holding to get a face like that?!
36. Sarah said:
I'm going to have nightmares now.
I love the thumbnail zoomed in on just his EYE...very cool effect. It looked like a swimming pool shot from above at night.
37. Home Detention Lady said:
This makes me think of the song "Green Eyed Lady"....that eye is HUGE and GREEN, Chuck!
38. saralynnmo said:
What's really sad is that I first thought he was wearing plastic vampire teeth. Then I realized that dogs really have teeth like that. Good morning, more coffee please!
39. red said:
scaarrrryyy.
40. Mary said:
Chuck, you are so SCARY. I will give you anything you want. Pop tarts? Pizza? Doritos? You name it, I'll hand it over.
41. sheyna said:
lol!! i love the x-files reference!
42. MyChelle said:
From the thumbnail, I though "Lalique glass?" But no - eeeeerrrrrriiiieeee chuck eyeball! Vicious Lover Puppy, I'm sure!
43. Becky said:
Hi Mouse! I'm skird too -- but my day is better having seen your message to Chuck. Hope you have a 'doggone' good day. (That's just a human expression, though. Please don't really go anywhere).
44. JuJuBee said:
You don't scare me, Chuck.
45. kim said:
scary.
46. sak said:
i bet when you bought him you didn't realize they'd thrown werewolf into his lovely mix.
47. jennay said:
Chuck is obvuously stepping in the middle of a Rott/Lab brawl.
48. bb said:
YIKES. first time I see Chuck looking extremely feirce.
49. Liz said:
Ack. Cujo.
50. Shmee said:
From the thumbnail, I thought it was a reflection of the D70 lens. He's probably just angry that the movie is over (I see credits rolling in the background).
51. amberlyn said:
chuck's eye looks like a sushi bowl in the thumbnail. seriously, i have the set.
52. Beverly said:
Wow, who knew he could look so ferocious?
Great picture!

Holy toledo. Is that photoshopped, or was the picture on blurbomat just taken when he was a baby? His teeth are enormous!
(Oh, and shouldn't that book she's holding be "Where the Wild Things Aren't?")
55. the niffer said:
I think he's trying to prove to us that his body CAN, in fact, cash those cheques.

Yay! Chuck and Mouse, two of my favourite puppies!!!! Happy Chuck (and Mouse) Friday!

The dog is kinda freakin me out.

Thank God I am not alone in thinking that.....

61. Lisey said:
question: how do you get those whitening strips to stay on? I have terrible trouble with keeping the strips on my german shepherd! HA
love the pic and THOSE EYES, I.want.his.contacts!
p.s the "puppy" now has his very own adams apple, not long before he starts bringing home the bitches!
and obviously 'gods' (the not uppercase one for those of you following the comments) threat to smite us all with the nasty "plaque" overlooked Mr Chuckles...
but Im going to floss!

Oh, Chuck, I do love you. Even when you are scary. Actually, more so. I like bad boys.
64. Carol said:
B4E - canine dentata - LMAO!!
That is one scary lookin' mutha fuckin'dog! Good thing it's just lil Chuck.
65. jules said:
eek.. mor elike chuckacujo..scary..

vio said at 07:32AM, 01.28.2005:
now if only you could command him to stand at the door with that face in case any overzealous mormons stop by!
and read mormons as ROMANS and couldn't figure out why the hell romans would be stopping by dooce's house, let alone anyone's house really..

66. Melanie / Okie said:
GOD........
67. BerryGirl said:
wow- he looks scary esp. after all the talk yesterday of dog park disasters. You will have to post some more pics of Chuck and Leta so we can get that warm fuzzy feeling again! Happy Chuck Friday!

He was probably watching the recap of Bush's press conference this week. I feel the way you do Chuck!
71. VDOprincess said:
I think I'm going to have a nightmare where a chuck with grrrreeeeeen eyes jumps out and bites me on the knee and then I fall over screaming and Chuck turns into a nice saint bernard-ish kinda doggie that tries to save me but I'm too scared...ok, I'll stop now.
But that biting thing made me think: did you know that Komodo dragons kill their prey by just BITING them, and there's so much bacteria in their mouth that the wound gets infected and kills the prey later?

adobe has a "red eye" tool for humans, but I couldn't find a "green eye" tool for dogs in photoshop. does anyone have any advice for this problem? I actually found a tool on the internet that would fix it, but it was $29.95. just coloring in the green with a solid color makes my little man look possessed (I can just keep the green for that look), and he is waaay too cute for that nonsense.
74. The Wife said:
I usually just use the spray paint feature and tone it down a bit.
75. Lauri said:
My 3 year old, Claire, looked at Chuck and said, "What doggie is that? That doggie gots his teeth out! I wanna touch his nose."
76. Circus Kelli said:
Ooooo.... so scary!
Rarrr, Chuckles!

78. U.B. said:
Wow, Chuck Friday is Cujo-riffic today!
We used to have a cranky, old blue heeler that made that face at the other dogs. No noise, just snarl. But, she had broken most of her front teeth off years earlier, so it was a bit more disturbing in a jaggedy teeth kind of way...
79. michele said:
Please do post it if you find out how to take away the green eyed effect. I have one dog with a red eye in pics (she has one blue eye, one brown) and my other pup gets green eyes in pictures. While it's very festive at Christmas, they both end up looking evil.

81. August95 said:
Someone better hurry and give it a poptart.
82. jennay said:
Yes, Claire, that doggie gots his teeth out...
83. Cristin said:
I was just wondering......
does the chuskster love Leta's fish crackers as much as my puppy?
my Jazzy follows my girls around if they have goldfish crackers, just hoping against hope that they will DROP.JUST.ONE.PLEASE.
84. Jenie said:
lol..he looks like he's wearing those wax teeth you find at halloween. Creepy!
85. kristine said:
Chuck...Friday...
finally.
86. al(DENTAL) said:
Chuck looks like he goes to the dentist every 6 months. Great oral hygiene for a dog, I don't have patients with that great a smile. Doggie Extreme Makeover hmmmmm maybe a TV deal in this for chuck.....
87. mg2 said:
the best part of that story was when you told the Avon World Sales Leader to suck it.
88. Fish said:
So, I just saw the movie "Alien," and I still think Sigourney Weaver has a horsy-face (don't call me a hater, she DOES).
What's my point? I'll tell you. Doesn't it look like Sir Chucks-a-lot's entire jaw is about to detatch and extend like the creature in Alien?
89. Katie said:
Hurray for Leta waving! I personally am a sucker for the Leta stories, so keep 'em coming. Those cute stories are what keeps me coming back to your site.
90. kari g said:
Drop the poptart and walk away verrrrrrrrrry slowly and no one gets hurt.....
91. jessie said:
Hahahaha, what a perfect picture. I love it.
92. Honey Bunny said:
i love the little baby doggie teeth in the desktop that jon made. now that he's got grown up dog teeth, he's a little skeery!
heh. just kiddin'. i love chuck.
93. trucmuche said:
Cujo Jr.!!
94. Cristin said:
YAY LETA!
Heather, you've just GOT to get pics of that for us pathetic voyeurs. I can just picture her looking from jon, to you, and thinking, "what the heck? Let's let them see my brilliance!"
heh heh

she waved!!!!
that's all i have to say. GO LETA!!!
100. Tori said:
I can't believe you told the Avon World Sales Leader to suck it! That is insane. I told all my coworkers to suck it when I won a Barnes and Noble gift certificate at the company party. This was of course after several FREE glasses of vino and 2 hours of poker. I realized my mistake seconds after "k itttttttt", it was one of those slow-mo moments.
101. GOD said:
GO GET UM BOY!
102. Wicked H said:
There you go Dooce, the waving milestone you and Jon got to experience together.
Woo hoo!! Go Leta.
103. Circus Kelli said:
Leta waved! That's fantastic! Sometimes those little mini humans are the coolest things on the planet, no?
Buddy started blinking at us in response to us blinking at him. To other people, it's no big deal "So what? The kid blinks...?" To the parents it's "THE KID BLINKS AT US ON PURPOSE!"
104. Suki said:
Pic of Chuck on a Friday, great combo. And props to Leta!
105. Harv D. said:
Great wit and humor. Very courageous site. Please do me a favor. Do no succomb to the abuse of the word awesome. You seem to be beyond that.
106. Stacy said:
Oh! Congratulations Dooce and Leta!
107. Fish said:
Harv D.: what about "Bitchin?"
As in "Bitchin Camaro?"

What about "slammin"?
110. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Yeah Leta!! I bet it was the cutest thing ever!!
My daughter saw that pic of Chucks and was scared. She said EEW I am trying to eat, why are his eyes green? Just eew!
LMAO
111. Winc.Inc said:
That is AWSOME!! Leta is living her life with the element of surprise.
"you never know what I'll do next"
Maybe she works for the FBI
112. Dee said:
You guys have to see this site:
http://shutyerblog.blogspot.com/
Love Chuck Dooce!
113. Sarah said:
That is totally awesome that Leta waved. I mean, totally.
And telling your mom to suck it? AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!
I think AWESOME is totally underused.
114. z said:
Your dog is so hot!
115. laurie said:
awwww way to go Leta!
116. AyEnDeeAreEeAyAitch said:
My, how chucks teeth have grown since Jons First Chuckacabra
Oh and I got all goosebumpy and chills came across me when you announced Let had waved! Oh that is so spectacular, I am so proud of her!
DO YOU HEAR THAT LETA? THE INTERNET IS PROUD OF YOU!
My daughter is now 5 and half months old and growing her first two teeth and I feel like the best mother on earth because MY BABY IS GETTING TEETH! I cannot wait to feel what you are feeling now when my own baby girl does her first wave. Now, just wait till they get their first period... GAH!! I shutter to think.

oooh! Or another favorite: "dudical"
119. barbie said:
you think waving is fun, wait until they *crawl*...you will totally freak out bc it's both exciting and full of dread, bc life as you know it is OVER
120. Kate said:
So, am I the only one who keeps reading the titles of the posts and automatically jumps to the conclusion that dooce is giving up blogging? Especially today...I'm so glad it was a post about Leta's terrific milestone and not how Heather is giving up the ghost and hates all of us.
121. Shazza said:
what a real little woman she's turning into...not only does she now wave, but we havnt heard one 'missing sock' story for months!! GO LETA, YOU WAVING, FULLY SOCKED GO-GETTER!

Dudical was definitely "after my time". As for radical and tubular, though, please... gag me with a spoon.

I think my little sister and the kid across the street and I invented dudical circa 1994...
124. Fish said:
Or, you could go the simple route: sweeeeeeet.
You can even combine the: Dudical, that bitchin Camaro is sweeeeeeet.
125. Susie said:
For the second time in one week, a big ol' Southern YEEEE-HAAAA to Leta! Here's wavin' at YOU, kid!
I'm not a big fan of AWESOME either, Harv, but let's not be adjective censors. Anyhow, what you don't want us doing is succumbing, not succombing. You want us to not suc CUMB; I would think it really wouldn't matter to you if we'd suc COMB.
As an older mom, somewhere between the ages of Dooce and the AWSL, I really can't endorse telling mom to SUCK IT; but I strongly suspect that the "she could barely hear me" part is a significant detail in that story . . .
126. Mrs.Strizzay said:
I prefer "Yo dawg dem rimz is sittin on 20z. That shit is mad hot no doubt."
127. Laura said:
I'm surprised no one's made any mean comments about how Heather was going to dress Leta in a plastic bag. Maybe all the hate-mongers have finally learned that SHE DOESN'T REALLY DO THAT STUFF.

Heh, I heard Punkin (our 7 year old) say "Sweeeeet" the other day. Just that one word, like, totally blew me away, man.

myself, really tiny, on his eyeballs.
The first time my daughter Ella waved, I almost soiled myself.
141. Editrix said:
Would that make him Count Chuckula?
142. Fran said:
I was debating with myself (shhh, don't tell anybody) whether that was a dog's eye with tapedum lucidem reflecting light or an aerial view of your new, lighted jacuzzi.
Chuch won out! Go Chuck!
OF UTAH!!!!!
143. Gooooder said:
Such big teeth, eep!
And yay to Leta for waving, my nephew knows how now but will only do it when he wants to. It is the cutest thing ever when he does it.

I'm glad I am not the only one who has problems with the use of the word awesome.

Et tu, Charlotte? Buddy was tossing and turning and whimpering off and on all night. I got up about a half dozen times to check on him and 'retuck' him before he woke at 4:30am.

..and dammit, Im STILL wondering!
155. Annejelynn said:
Charlotte and Circus Kelli - I too thought the thumbnail may have been a putting green or sumthin' of the like ...and that with a full night's rest - should I be concerned?
156. Charlotte said:
CircusKelli: I'm afraid it's just that time of year. We spent the night dozing in the recliner. I gave up putting her in her crib after I was going in there every 10 minutes! The poor thing just couldn't breathe.
157. coskel said:
my cat gets the green eye too when I take pics of him - (LINUS sez hi to Chuck, btw) I read somewhere that the effect is from some layer on the animal eye that humans don't have??
where is that cool girl who had all the way-scientific trivia? come back, wherever you are.
PS - LINUS won't hurt - he promises!
158. Carol said:
When I look at the mini-pic, I think I can see Chucks brain.

160. vmc said:
Her first wave, that is amazing! It's during those "first" moments that you realize how absolutely consumed you are going to be with your child and her development for years to come. Thrilling!
161. Girl From Ipanema said:
I JUST SPIT OUT MY COFFEE THATWASSOFUNNY!I first thought it said "Chuckabra"...like "shakabra".But then I realized you were making the Chupacabra reference...GOOOOOOOOD ONE!!! Dooce...you rule. :)

bye bye the way, I DID get the Violent Femmes reference, heather.

169. Kristin said:
Ah, the first wave. I don't even have kids, but that's big, man. I remember when my nephew first did something that made me feel like life was just blossoming before me. Now he's 13 and has officially fallen down the Moody Adolescent Rabbit Hole. (But I love him dearly and will be there to do shots with him when he emerges into Moody Adulthood.)
It's great that you can enjoy each of those moments for their own beauty...and tell someone to suck it in the same sentence.
170. tpaquin said:
What Chuck is really thinking:
Bring it on Mother fucker!
Can I borrow chuck for my 12:30 meeting. Id like to open a can of Chuck-a-lota-woop-ass all over that room.
COWABUNGA!
Chuck crack a cold one and relax, its friday.

Glad to hear that Leta waved. That's totally cool. I love it when babies do stuff for the first time and you are actually there to see it (not that I have any of my own - I play with other peoples so I can give them back when they are cranky or poopy). Never fails to amaze me the stuff they pick up on. Totally cool!!!

Hey, Chucka Khan!
You ain't got no kind of feeling inside
I got something that will sure 'nuff set your stuff on fire
You refuse to put anything before your pride
I got something that will knock all your pride aside
CHORUS:
Tell me something good (tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me that you love me
Tell me something good (tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me that you like it, yeah
Got no time is what you're known to say
I'll make you wish there were 48 hours to each day
Problem is you ain't been loved like you should
What I got to give will sure 'nuff do you good
176. Effie said:
I can't wait till my hubbie and I have kids--so we can experience something as special as a first wave, or a first blink.....Yay Leta!
And FYI--if I hadn't seen the cute pics of Chuck prior to this, I'd think he was a scary dog--but from all the talk about him I know he's not--just playing probably!

I used to have a dog that had the cutest face but hated EVERYONE. Especially kids. And kids would just have to come up and pet him. And I would have to say to their parents, "If my dog takes your kids hand off, I am NOT LIABLE."

There was this couple that had been married for 20 years.
Every time they made love the husband always insisted on shutting off
the light.
Well, after 20 years the wife felt this was ridiculous.
She figured she would break him out of this crazy habit.
So one night, while they were in the middle of a wild, screaming,
romantic session, she turned on the lights.
She looked down... and saw her husband was holding a battery-operated
pleasure device... a vibrator!
Soft, wonderful and larger than a real one.
She went completely ballistic.
"You impotent bastard," She screamed at him, "how could you be lying to
me all of these years?
You better explain yourself!"
The husband looks her straight in the eyes and says calmly:
"I'll explain the toy . . . you explain the kids."

You can't forget 'gnarly', 'wicked', 'righteous', 'far out', and 'stoked'.
My formative years were in California during the 80's, and I fully admit that my speech was freely peppered with surfer-speak. In the Bay Area, we used the word 'hella' a lot. 'Yeah, that's hella gnarly, dude!'

That's the way it was
Happened so naturally

You holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
Oh oh oh oh
CHORUS:
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better than you
CHAKA!!!!

My own puppy is named Chupacabra. He's a 16 lb. pomeranian, but still...the name fits. My most cherished memory is when the two of us were out walking and encountered a 9 year old neighbor. Once he heard the name of my puppy, his eyes grew huge and he backed...away...slowly. How cool is it that 9 year olds (in GA no less) are learning about Chupacabras? You GO, public school system!!
198. Sandy said:
I sort of stumbled upon your blog recently and I think it’s fantastic! I really don't think I can accurately express the depth of my feelings for this blog. Perhaps I could with an expressive dance but for now this comment will have to suffice. I'm a 29 yr old web designer in NYC and am actually about to move in with my own lovable geek. Your creativity and humor has even inspired me to start writing in my own blog again. Leta is a lucky kid. I know she's going to look back on this documentation and feel so proud and fortunate to have such fun-loving, intelligent, down-to-earth parents who love her like you two do. Please keep writing. Oh and sorry I know this had really nothing to do with the Chuckacabra.

"Don't wanna be a fool for you

Sure made me
But it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye"
Did I just write that? You gotta admit that Justin Timberlake sure is yummy.

Chuck looks a little sexy-come-hiter here, Van Helsing style.
When I was a kid my sister had a T shirt that she would wear to the disco (1979) UNDER her jacket so my dad wouldnt see.
It had four words inside a pair of lips:
"MAY we?

I've always wondered where dogs came from, and now that you present me with the most delightful evidence, I now see that dogs are related to that evil, relentlessly goat and cow blood-sucking alien demon thing that used to scare the begesus out of me when I was a little kid.
"If you are not careful, the chupacabra is going to get you..."

Heather I have a little story for you. My son has Down Syndrome and at 1 mo old fell ill with group b strep and spinal menengitis sending him through this downward spiral of events. He had 5 strokes and was bagged (nurse breathing for him) 3 times and then put on life support. He had no brain waves and was on full life support for 5 days.. He lost 1/3 of his brain. My baby boy is also Blind and has to be on seizure meds. Now he is 5 mo old and is doing great he is the light of my life.. My older sister and mother told me about your site at Chritmas time. You have been in my life ever since. You need to know that you make me smile when I don't really want to smile. Leta trys her damn hardest to pull tears out of a 26 yr old new mom with a baby with so many struggles and joys ahead. I thought I had none left. Wow she waves you are truely blessed.. I can't wait to write you and tell you my baby Stratton waved.... Love
221. jess said:
I'm so excited for Leta's first wave! When I read that I kind of exploded inside. I actually witnessed a kid's first wave once - and her mom wasn't even there to see it. When I told her mom, she kind of went into denial that she wasn't there to see it. I'm glad you got to see it! yay!
222. Shailyn said:
This of course has NOTHING to do with Chuck and his scary teeth, and it might be pushing towards unsolicited advice.... BUT If she has started waving bye bye, Leta might start the "itsy Bitsay Spider" thing.... I am a nanny and I've noticed that as soon as they get that waving thing down they start to LOOOOVE it when you sing Itsy Bitsy..... The 14 month old i watch currently will walk up to me with her hands together and twist them in her immitation of the spider in her little way of BEGGING me to sing it, I love it, I love it.... of course half way through she forgets that 5 seconds ago she thought this was cool and she moves on to watch the wiggles or to bite her sister.
I love my job.
