As a result of the recent plethora of Ugly Dog Contests my four legged grand-nephew has his furry little nose in a permanent snit. In the interest of family harmony (and to humor my sister) I have agreed to say a few words.
Mee-Tu is a furred member of the ‘winning’ clan. Like contest winners for the past several years most Chinese Crested’s are hairless, but a percentage are born furred. It is said there is one or two in each litter to help keep the others warm. My grand-nephew has a long, silky coat.
My sister says he wants humans to understand were the situations reversed dogs would never be able to decide one human is uglier than the others. They think we are all so hideous we deserve their pity.
We all have tiny ears, and small pointy noses that are almost useless. Our eyes are stuck right in the front of our grotesquely shaped heads.
We laugh at some of them for being hairless, but we comb the little patch of hair on top of our heads until sometimes it all falls out!
Our fascination with bathing is a nightmare to most pets. We constantly wash all the best places, then get upset when Fido noses in for a better sniff.
He still gets angry when he remembers how mommy angrily pulled him all the way home after he found that sweet smelling pile of stuff to roll in, then bathed him three times in the foulest smelling concoction a canine could imagine. He came out smelling like a darn flower.
Carol says according to Mee-Tu our standing on two legs is downright stupid. To his amusement it makes us so slow we have no chance of catching our canine baby when he finds an expensive shoe a great toy, or makes a dash for an open door.
His mommy and daddy get all upset just because he takes a slurp or two from the big white bowl in the shower room, but never seem to notice when he licks places on his body that are hidden, then gives them a big kiss right in the face.
Not to say Mee-Tu is spoiled, but his mommy swears when he reads this he will feel vindicated and get his appetite back. I think his mommys human children should count her pills.
