UGLY DOGS

My husband Tim had this picture to show me when I returned from a day at Great America with my kids (which was very fun, by the way.) 

This mohawk sporting pooch is the winner of this year's World's Ugliest Dog contest, held annually in Petaluma, California.

What a mug on this guy, eh?  His name is Elwood and he lives in New Jersey with his owner, who rescued him when she learned his breeder planned to euthanize him becuase he was "too ugly to sell."  He is, of course, a Chinese Crested dog.  Even the cute ones of that breed are kinda ugly if you ask me.  Ugly... but always lovable.  In that Wishnik troll kind of way.

I'm struck by how closely Elwood resembles a gremlin.  Remember those, from that 80's movie of the same name???  Don't you agree??? :)

I think he's kind of cute in a strange way. A face only a mother could love for sure!
