SPECIAL dogs. And special treats.

OK. I am really angry that I saw this in the news AGAIN.  In California, on Friday, a 17-year-old mixed Chinese crested/chihuahua dog was the contest winner in a competition that is 28 years old - the World's Ugliest Dog Contest.  SweePee Rambo won the grand prize - $2000.  I talked about this last year - and I was quite annoyed.   And here we go again.  I mean seriously - humans are always so mindful about being politically correct.  Except, of course, for Donald Trump.  But in GENERAL - it is unlikely that you would see a contest for the World's Ugliest Human.  So why is it you think you can do that to us dogs?!   There ARE no ugly dogs.  Unique dogs. Distinctive dogs.  Special dogs. But NOT ugly dogs.  So there. Who do I see about changing the name of this contest?!

In news from the home front,  my human went for a drive yesterday, and left Velcro dog and I at home.  Mind you - we had an hour long walk just before she went.  On her travels, she popped into a Pet Store she had never visited before.  She had a great chat with the owner and met the store's two employees - two German Shepherds.  They were reportedly very friendly dogs - one was a 20 month old puppy who came from Germany.  I would have liked to meet him - but then I was at HOME wasn't I?  I suppose I shouldn't complain too much, though, because, while in the store my human bought Velcro dog and I two special treats.  Moose antlers.  YUM.  Of course, Velcro dog and I went CRAZY when she brought them home.  Antlers are great for chewing.  But of course, as my human went to help me type this blog, she had to find out more about antlers.  Who knew that some antlers are better than others?  They even come in in different grades.  And elk antlers are reportedly the toughest. According to one website (which SELLS antlers - so I'm not so sure how unbiased they are), some BIG chain pet stores sell low grade antlers.  All I know is that my human has yet to find cheap antlers.  And the two she bought yesterday - for the price, my human could have bought herself a BIG steak at a pretty fancy restaurant.  Probably two steaks.  But heck, we deserve it. 

And so does SweePee.  I hope that UNIQUE girl gets all the Grade A antlers she wants.  She deserves it.  Remember - there are NO ugly dogs.  And Viktor said so!
