Heather talks about public tantrums (from kids) on today's Momversation.
- RIP Louis Mortimer Armstrong: http://bit.ly/1R4tv6
- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.
- Our fish just died. And I'm sitting here crying. And it wasn't even my fault!

Chuck, I don't blame you.
Am I first? (Why do we all want to be first?)
2. fig said:
he looks slightly worried... has the taxidermist been making eyes at him?
3. cara said:
I think it's so people might visit OUR web sites. Perhaps?...
4. Sherman said:
cute dog!
5. katherine said:
Wow is Chuck losing weight?
6. Andrea said:
I love your pup!
7. Em said:
I love Chuck's little curl of hair. Too damn cute, and also kind of regal.
8. Liz said:
Yeah, the fella looks much thinner. Needs more pizza.
9. TracyDee said:
Chuck is such a pretty color and such a regal dog :)

I visited my boyfriend's grandfather, John Toth, 1963 Country Music Hall of Fame inductee, hunter extraordinnaire this weekend. Taxidermy is terrifying. He has 13 moose heads, 5 caribou, 5 elk, 4 doll sheep, 3 coyotes, 3 brown near rugs, 6 mahi mahi, 2 pirhanna, dozens of deer and a FULL STUFFED GRIZZLY BEAR in his house. Taxidermy is terrifying.
11. jenny said:
Near rugs, bear rugs... Anyway, the boyfriend, a non-hunter inherits all of those someday. I won't be able to sleep with those in the house.
Tell Chuck to watch out.
12. Eddeaux said:
Jenny- you can donate all those stuffed animals to someplace like Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri- Which Big Cedar is possibly the greatest place to stay in the contiguous 48.
I love Chuckles, when Heather posts a good picture of him I immediately set it as my wallpaper, I don't have a dog of my own, but Chuck is my internet dog.
13. kEma said:
Go boy, go! He's gorgeous :]
14. Illuminn said:
Hark, Who goes there? Are ye Friend of Foe?
15. shaunacat said:
I have a beautiful Shar Pei (wrinkle dog) named Brandie, should Chuck require some friendly female...well, friendliness.
:o)
16. corie said:
Could they be long lost cousins?
17. Christine said:
A-ha! Now I know who Chuck reminds me of...
Ben Affleck.
Seriously!
18. beachgal said:
What a great Chuck picture. Does he realize how much the internet loves him? Yay Chuck!
19. corie said:
whoops. i guess no auto links enabled: http://www.callalillie.com/archives/2004/10/oy_parts.html
20. Jen said:
Sadly enough, I scrolled back and I have to concur.
Chuck does look a bit like Ben Affleck.
21. Micki said:
I heart Chuck. as you know.
22. Davey said:
Lovely dog; regal (as was said).
23. Micki said:
ahhh. just read yesterday's "baby back" entry. now realize why we have pix of Chuck. who does not grab cousins' sippy cups.
24. Caroline said:
Excellent example of "dog fur topography." I love those places where the fur rises into fuzzy mountain ranges, like those sky-blue-oceaned, country-color-coded elementary school globes you could run your fingers across and actually FEEL the Rockies...
Or maybe it's just a cowlick...er, doglick?
25. Barry said:
Yay Chuck! More Chuck!
26. Bec said:
You can't blame the poor guy for being nervous - I probably would be too!
27. Tek said:
I have 3 dogs, 1 neighbordog (she likes to visit) and 1 revolving dog (strays that come and go due to my girlfriend's overwhelming "I-know-you-don't-want-one-more-dog-but-it-looked-so-sad-and-it's-a-dangerous-world-and-we-[I mean you]-can-find-it-a-home-for-sure" whine.
And yet, more Chuck is so satisfying!
So now I claim 3 dogs, 1 Neighbordog, 1 revolving dog and 1 internet dog. Cool.
28. Jane said:
I don't get the desire to be first...what's the big deal?
29. coolbeans said:
Chuck is a really handsome doggie. Quite the looker.
30. mom with teenagers said:
re the public tantrum and having no say: that is, to me, the main shock of parenting all the way through--that we have no say in any of it. all we can do is try to give them a good example, treat them the way we want them to treat others, and of course, say no a lot. but say yes a lot too. what an adventure.
31. Angela said:
Aww, such a cutie. He has a face like my old dog Vespa (Yes, she was named after the princess in Spaceballs!) I just love seeing pics of him.
32. Matt said:
Oh my gawd. You have cloned my Dog. If you can, check out http://www.mattlandia.com/images/Darla_truck1.jpg.
33. Kathy said:
Wait...it may just be the mailman with a dog biscuit.
34. King Poop said:
He makes me want to play the name game. Let's tryyyy ... CHUCK!
35. Heathertoo said:
Doesnt this remind you of "the dingo ate my baby?"
36. Shiz said:
Aw, Chuck, come here and let me give you some TREATS!
Sorry about the public squaking. It'll happen to me someday, and I can only HOPE TO GOD IN HEAVEN that I don't completely lose it with my child.
37. Anne said:
I think Chuck is trying to demonstrate to you the type of pose in which he'd like to be eternally memorialized someday.
38. Gordon said:
Someone commented that Chuck needs a girlfriend. What do you think he is looking at??? Thats the look of "Oh baby come to papa!" At least thats my interpretation...
39. Mish said:
I call that curl on the chest "the seam". My dog has a curl at every possible seam point. Its so very cool.
40. Chad Vavra said:
Emmett[http://www.chadvavra.com/images/emmett/0007.jpg] is a big fan of Chuck pictures.
41. Rabooka said:
Yes! The pizza delivery guy is here! Maybe if I show my teeth he'll drop the pizza.
I love chucks eyes!
42. Lindsey said:
Chuck is the biggest Stud!
Even when in sight of the evil taxidermist he still looks like a buff Stud-Muffin!
43. Lori said:
Good boy CHUCK, good boy!
44. Daniel said:
I think Chuck would like to come and live with me. In California. Where it's warm. "Here, Chuckie! Come on, boy! Come on..."

Chuck looks so wonderful!!
46. Heatheranne said:
It would really creep me out if my neighbor was a taxidermist.
47. Mir said:
I say we start a petition to get the former Congressman's regal profile up there on Mt. Rushmore. The world NEEDS more Chuck!

You can almost hear the cogs whirring round in his brain; coming up with a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel!
50. LT said:
I just choked on ginger dressing.
(That'll teach me to slurp it right out of the cup.)
51. the mighty jimbo said:
kinda reminds me of santa's little helper in that pic.
52. Julia said:
In case you were wondering, which you probably weren't, it's really hard to poop while holding your breath.
I discovered this today when I was trying to kill two birds with one stone - get over my massive hiccups and go to the bathroom at the same time.
So don't inhale a big breath and then try to hold it. That's bad.
53. julie said:
chuck looks liek santa's little helper from the simpsons... I wonder what cartoon i look like.
54. jenn said:
chuck looks like he knows something no one else does.... wonder what it is?!
55. Moxie said:
Chuck keeps watch, as the rumours of GWB being unloaded from the truck are true.
56. Sandy said:
I love Moose. Sometimes, though, I have to read what he types out loud to figure out what he's saying (the internet equivalent of moving your lips while reading?).
57. Sandy said:
Make that Mouse. Oops.
58. Karen said:
Chuck is so not Ben Affleck -- that loser hanger-on? Chuck actually has talent, man. He's waaaaay more Matt Damon than Ben Affleck.
59. Danika said:
Check out Mouses site! It is hilarious! Although like Sany I sometimes need to read what is written out loud in order to understand it.
We have a Chilis here and I LOVE it. They used to (maybe still do but I haven't been there in a while) have all you can eat Fajita tuesdays... Mmmmm!
60. Danika said:
Ooops that should have been Sandy not Sany :D hate typos.
Oh and save a place for me in hell Dooce.. I would have done the exact same thing!
61. sivvy1013 said:
Looks like Chuck is in love.
62. Andrea said:
Indeed, Mouse's site is just too cute (and funny...!!)
63. Laurie said:
I see the ben affleck resemblence!!! hes a hot dog!!!
hehehe
64. David Koranhrens said:
You take some nice pictures, the dog is kinda cute :S
65. Molly said:
Awww.. Chuck, you are such a handsome dog!
Great picture, as always!
66. Cora's mommy said:
Cora gets called a him all the time. Even when her outfit is screaming girly girl. It's usually old people.
67. beachgal said:
Mouse's site just gave me a headache....cute it is, tho....
68. Michelle said:
To David Korhrans who posted that Chuck is "kind of cute"...KIND OF CUTE???? CHUCK ROCKS the dog kingdom he used to be Govenor..no really...I sincerely hope some day he wants to marry my dog. She comes with a dowery of neverending milkbones. Kind of cute ...hrumph!
69. Becca said:
Chuck is without a doubt one of the cutest dogs I've ever seen. Yummy
70. Laurie said:
OH MAN! The cough syrup trick. Wrong on so many levels, but makes for great blogging. You should write that in her baby book. I'm going to have to borrow a friends baby next time I'm sick!
71. beck said:
This is my all-time favorite picture of Chuck. EVER.
VERY VERY GOOD.
72. ed said:
Hey what type of dog is Chuck? I tried to dig it up in the archives and wasn't able to. Anyone remember or know? I swear I just got his long lost puppy cousin...
73. anna said:
And I saw Chuck's long-lost twin in the park yesterday. I was sitting in the bushes, minding my own business, and all of a sudden a very familiar-looking dog was nosing my ear. The spitting image of Chuck, she was. Except for the empty nutsack. She didn't have one of those that I noticed.
So whatever breed Chuck is, it's the one that's taking over the planet, apparently. And good luck to them.
74. Leon channeling Dooce FAQ said:
For any and all questions regarding the breed of the army crawling, pasta guzzling, treat addicted former politician;
"Chuck is a SuperMutt. We were standing in the lobby of the SPCA in Pasadena, CA, when someone brought him in on their shoulder. Sometimes he looks like a Jack Russell Terrier, sometimes a Lab, sometimes a Chihuahua, sometimes a Basenji. He is everything swirled into one. Our dog trainer in LA says that he has so many breeds in him that he has become The Generic Dog, which sounds kind of bad, but if you think about it, is kind of wonderful. He is Chinese and German and American and African and Nordic and Latin; he is everything."
75. DeAnn said:
I love Chuck. And also? I cannot believe you didn't get all indignant when someone called Leta a boy!! Most mothers freak. I'm actually kind of in awe that you didn't.
76. debmjax said:
At the risk of sounding a smoodge crazy....Chuck is quite the handsome dog and I have a very pretty girly dog named Sadie....I think they would make a breathtaking couple. She is of the "Mixed Breed" variety....I'll send a photo.....
77. Dawn said:
Chad, www.chadvavra.com/images/emmett/0007.jpg
what HAVE you and your dog been smoking ... scary! Don't look Chuck, don't!!!!!
78. Bekah said:
What a handsome-smansome little pup.
79. Fran said:
Matt's dog Darla does look a lot like Chuck but Chuck is one of a kind.
80. Christilee said:
Dooce, do you ever barf from this? OMG! Chuck is :
SooooFUCKUNG CUTE ALREADY!!!!!
Somebody say a cuss work for crying out loud!
Pick from the following:
Shit, Damn , Motherfuck, Motherfuck, and Damn!
Anything but this!
That's what you get for comments after photos.
Let us have comments after your rant and lie at the grocery store.
I am addicted to Dooce and always have it with my coffee in the morning.
I want it strong and with out the†fluffers†(uh, sorry guys if you know what that means).
there needs to be some ass kissing here and there, and I’ll give it unconditionally.
Like you we want to bitch and moan too. I love you, the baby and Jon. I am though, getting sick of the soccer mom responses that this site is regurgitating.
You (Dooce)have not lost your edge by any means. Your readers are becoming soft. Cock sucking soft!
There is just too much Charlotte and not enough, Miranda.
Please people don't be mad for dogging on the content. I just have to say it!
Cute and fuzzy is ok…sometimes.
I guess I have to be the asshole of the week at that.
At least it will get people to talking shit.
81. tiffany said:
That is the cutest fucking piece of shit dog I have ever seen in my goddamned life.
82. Valerie said:
chuck is a sweet potato
83. panajane said:
He's such a handsome boy. Like a canine Brad Pitt whose feet stink.
84. Angie said:
I want to know a couple things about Anna, actually.
1. Do you check out ALL canine junk at the park or just the faux-Chuckles'?
2. When lurking, I mean, SITTING in the bushes, do you sit with your legs crossed or under you? I ask this because last time I hid, I mean SAT in the park bushes, I found I could not snatch purses so easily when I had to uncross my legs.
;)

Chuck is saying to himself.....Great another Tard with an expensive digital camera on automatic that thinks they are the next Ansel Adams
