Dogs! Dogs! Dogs!

There are several dogs in my life right now so it seems very appropriate that I am watching Saturday night Animal Planet programming with shows such as "It's Me or the Dog" and "Dogs 101". Right now I'm watching "Dogs 101: Ugly Dogs". YESSSSS!!! There are all sorts of wrinkles, hairlessness, underbites, dangling tongues, and smushed in faces going on right now. I think it's kind of amazing that my two favorite breeds, English bulldogs and pugs, are featured on this program. Apparently there's an annual Ugly Dog competition, the antithesis of dog shows like the Westminster. Bowie, next year you're gonna be entered.

Fun Fact
Brachycephalic dogs aka dogs with smushed in faces such as pugs, bulldogs, and pekingese suffer from a condition where their eyes pop out of their socket because their skulls are so smushed in. That's pretty gross.
