OMG!!! What a total kick and the title is just incredibly inspired. This is too cute (only because this little guy is such a baby, of course). Glad you got the shot - this is making my day!

Great capture. Those teeth and claws look nasty. And then a look at those ears and he (she) just looks funny.

These are totally precious and once again I feel one of these would have been excellent in the 48 hiuur free study. Put the best one in your free study, and pull the otheres, and put them in your workfolder.

This is priceless, and that title knocked it out of the park!

rarr! hiss!

Fully grown, they mean it too - they can be some mean critters.

How can they start out this cute, only to turn into grumpy, ugly creatures. Of course I bet he didn't find his mom grumpy or ugly...

Great series of shots.

The night after the birth of my third child, while my wife and new baby were resting in the hospital, I brought my other two children home only to find a little guy just like this one in our house on the stairs.

I also thought giant rat. The cuteness was completely lost on me at the time. Thanks for helping me put away that bad memory. This fellow is adorable.
