I want a Panda

Although I will have to answer to my current pack, I think this is one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen. Yes, that's right, it is a dog. If someone were to use genetic engineering and designed a panda dog on spec, it could not have come out any better than this one. Imagine walking a dog like this into an urban area with a lot of people milling about. Instant popularity. I don't even want to think about the mobs that would engulf this dog if it were paraded around in predominantly Asian communities, especially Chinese and Japanese ones.

When I first found this site I thought someone was feeling especially loopy to create such a sugary frosted den of twee. But after reading way too many of the posts I think the owner has a very sly and subversive sense of humor as well as being an animal lover. If only the pages didn't take so long to load on dial-up, sigh.
