They saw the young pup with and fell down, and worshipped him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts of chew toys, and doggy treats, and pup-peroni…

From artist’s profile:
“…since that time, I have gained national recognition for my shimsical Bassets…”

Shitty + Whimsical = Shimsical?

This makes me question so much about my beliefs…I mean, why does jesus pup have pink toenails (Toeclaws)?
Why do they all have only 3 fingers each?
Why does daddy dog have a black tail, but he’s all brown?
What color does that make Jesus’ puppy’s tail?!?!

I always pictured jesus puppy as a great dane. Way to rock my world, yo.

To the tune of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem:

Oh little baby basset hound,
Your birth’s a miracle,
For daddy’s balls have been removed.
How very shimsical!

I’ll give you a flea color for
Your everlasting itch.
Don’t bite the vet and don’t forget
Your mother is a bitch.

#18 tanaise :

As someone who has had boy puppies, I can state unequivocally that is a girl dog. So apparently this installation is intended to challenge conventional religious thought on multiple levels. I mean, the Arian Controversy was based on a lesser issue, and that caused a religious schism that lasted 60 years. Imagine what this is going to do.

And you thought it was just some ticky-tacky lawn ornament of questionable taste.

#21 Patty has been abuducted by an alien :

I’ve owned two Basset Hounds over the years and I will say that while they were great pets, they certainly didn’t have the get-up-n’-go to be the Savior’s parents! Lie by your feet and eat treats all day, sure… but the parents of Jesus Basset, I dare say not!

I think its cute, though. If you’re into the whole wood-yard-art thing.

The most unsettling part are those noses–what were they borrowed from? That said, there’s a charming side to this creche kitsch–it must be my soft side for puppies, even posing as baby Jesus.

#33 Recovering Crack Baby :

This ranks right up there with one of my biggest pet-peeves- literally. I can’t stand Christmas pictures of single people with their dogs. It makes me crazy and embarassed for them.
I got a card where she had on antlers and the dog had a Santa hat- taken by professionals- on purpose.

#33 RCB – oh my. You should come live in my world for a few weeks (remember, I’m the Basset Rescue lady, who owns four bassets). One of the basset-owner e-mail lists I belong to is currently involved in the “Daily drool GIft Exchange” (Daily Drool is the name of the list). The long list is about 300 names; everyone sends the people on that list their basset-hound-oriented Christmas cards! LOL – you would be in RCB Hell.

Still, that’s probably the cutest baby Jesus I’ve seen.

But that Mary… eugh. I can see why she was a virgin (not that her man has much to talk about, either).
