So Long, Gus
The world is a prettier place today (that's a bad thing), because Gus, the world's ugliest dog, has gone on to heaven at the age of 9. His family said he suffered from cancer.
The one-eyed, three-legged Chinese Crested was rescued from a shitty home and adopted by a family in Florida. He lost one of his legs because of a skin tumor and lost one of his eyes in a cat fight. You should see the pussy.
Gus entered the World's Ugliest Dog contest in Norther California this past summer and won the top prize. The prize money was used towards Gus' radiation treatment.
Rest in peace, Gus.... I know you are permanently winkin' at us from above, where you were just crowned the Most Beautiful Dog in the Heaven.
Thanks Katherine

RIP Gus. Cats are full of personality and so fun to watch, but dogs imo, are angels with tails in place of wings.
Cheers to Gus, who saw the ugly side of humans and only gave back beauty. Chase those cats, gnaw those bones and lick your nuggets at your leisure, Mister. No one will judge you where you're at now.

My little 22-pound dog tried to mix it up with an intact put bull today. The PB was so sweet, he just wanted to play, but Minch was looking for a fight!
******************************
That used to happen to my dog all the time - they're so intimidating, other dogs often just come out fighting. A couple times shit went down (with OTHER people's off-leash dogs) and "the villagers" would come out an yell at us, all covered in our own blood, about how my dog (who'd just stood there and took it cuz he's tuff like that)needed to be put down . Yeesh. Once it happened with a cat. Walls covered in blood. After everyone yelled and screamed at us and found the cat it was discovered that ALL the blood was his. And that claw the cat was missing - it was in his head.

Do all cats want fresh food? Seems all the cats I have had want new food everyday?
--------------------------------------------
my Ozzy has a fixation with the "moving of the contents in the cat food bowl" (aka, shake it, bitch!) too bad for me, he likes that around 4am.
Roxy, on the other side, is a fatass and she luvs it. She's on Obesity cat food and mini servings, and an attitude that will cuttabeesh.
On Topic: poor Gus. My mini daschund has been at the vet's for about a week. He has back problems, that make his little butt drop it like it's hot. We're in talks with the lady that owns the Chihuahua with the little wheels. He's gonna be a wheelie!(gotta keep up the fake Miss Brightside)
btw, that little doggie sure looks adorable!

And i'm on my knees looking for the answer..
are we human, or are we dancers?
Awww poor Gus. RIP ♥

Hi Devil Girl. Hi everyone. I had a total knee replacement at the VA a week ago and was on a hell of a morphine drip for 5 days. But now I am squirrled in the upstairs bedroom with a mini fridge full of vodka, vicodin, a laptop and a husband bringing me a steady supply of grilled cheese

lol, a hyper cat. I haven't seen one of those in a while. My cat lies around and eats, she goes outside and comes in and if she does anything, it's outside. Inside she lies around and whines for food. When she wants out she's learned to scratch the couch. My mother reinforced that by putting her out everytime she did it.
oh little gus, best wishes... u have so many fans at ^**^*SUGARBABY meet.c om^*^*^*they love u so much.... take care

All of my cats are from a well respected retired breeder. And they are rescued cats too. One of them is so damn hyper I want to strangle her some days. I've never in all my life had a hyper cat.

yeah, there was a pitbull that ran around the neighborhood that loved my dog peace. She doesn't come out anymore, i think they keep her in a fence now. But she would break off her leash and come see peace and push him around with her head. She was so nice. My mom was scared of her though, Just because of the stereotype.
you know God gave GUS a makeover. goodbye Gus.
Mrs Kravitz, luckily right now I don't have to worry about it cause i'm still living at home so I don't have the option of taking in dogs but when I live somewhere else, I'll be thinking about it. But, I'm sure I'll be adopting dogs and taking in strays again. I just hate to say don't buy the dogs from pet shops you know? My niece had a dog from a pet store and it was the most hyper dog, they got rid of it cause they wanted a dog that was calm, etc (why people get dogs and expect them to exactly be this or that way and don't do research , etc I don't know) Anyway, it was an irish terrier, which I read about after they got it and read that they aren't always hyper, etc like this one was. Obviously it was cause she was a pet store puppy. You would not believe how crazy this dog acted! I can't even describe it. She was a nice dog but crazy!

as much as that damn dog makes me cringe, my eyes actually got a bit wonky and stuff. rip gus.

But, when I think of never buying from a pet store or whatever, then I start feeling bad for those dogs and thinking if no one buys them, where are they gonna go?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know how you feel, but as long as people buy dogs at pet stores puppy mills will exist.
Supply and demand.
I have only ever had one dog and he came from a rescue group. I will never buy a dog, I will only adopt. But hey, that's just me.

R.I.P. Beautiful little one.
My dog in the picture I found out is a Tibetan Spaniel, which is a breed sold. But, really, he's a mixture of several breeds so in my opinion he's not much of a full breed lol but it doesn't matter to me either way, he was a stray and showed up at my door flea infested. I thought he was a pekignese mix for years, which he does have in him, but turns he is a certain breed made up of pek, lapsa apsa (sp), japanese chin, and some other ones , i think two others.
Aw, MK, you bastard. Your words about Gus were, dare I say, so touching that my eyes are dewey.
And whoever said Gus was better looking than Mickey Rourke...Lmao.
Seriously this is going to make me cry.

Poor Gus. May he RIP. He looks adorable to me, but there are very few animals I don't find to be extraordinarily cute.
I've had three full breed dogs in my life, and only ONE was a dog we bought, my parents bought that is. I was a kid. I agree d to it and wanted the dog, but I didn't realize how big of a deal it was to not get a full breed back then and I don't think they did either. We just wanted to get a dog that would be good for my dad. We got a golden retriever and picked the one that came when we called "july". she was the runt of the litter, and was the one i wanted. But, when I think of never buying from a pet store or whatever, then I start feeling bad for those dogs and thinking if no one buys them, where are they gonna go? I'm so sensitive when it comes to dogs I want to become a billionaire and just buy a whole city of dogs from the pounds and pet stores and take in all the strays. I can't help it.
I honestly have never found a dog unattractive, you know how you find a person unattractive but you don't wanna be mean. Well with dogs, i seriously find them all cute. No matter what they look like, they are cute to me. This dog is cute to me. I never have thought a dog looked ugly . People are different to me. And I don't understand people that don't find all dogs cute.

OK, so I am in a store the other day with Minch and there's this woman who is practicing obedience exercises with her dog...yeah, in the middle of the store.
Whatver.
Aparently he was going to be in a competition...I guess is it important for them to practice with lots of distractions.
So this dog is like a robot, no personality.
Personality is just obedienced out of him.
And Minch keeps looking at me like, "WTH is wrong with this foolio?"
Minch likes to be the boss.
-------------------------
That´s probably why I didn´t like that dog show, I could just sense there was something not quite right... I want to see dogs enjoying themselves, being all goofy and fun.
he was beautiful to me.
and I agree, with the exception of me shepherd protection dog, all my pups were rescues, mutts.
-----------------------------------------------
"I'm pretty sure I asked you to pick up some Pecan Sandies."
Hasta la vista Gus.
Devil's Advocate: Some dogs are ugly. But my experience is that the there's less prevalance: I could be wrong.
Also, some dogs are working dogs. I've had dogs that weren't happy unless they were working; training in some way. Those dogs can be bossy too...cuz they keep bringing you the ball or turning your dining room into an obstacle course;p

RIP, Gus. I'm glad you had people to love and pamper you at the end of your life.

my dog right now is trying to bury his bone in my messy room. I keep telling him to stop. Well, now i think he's trying to find where he hid it.
Mk: that last sentence got me....thank u :)

But now I am squirrled in the upstairs bedroom with a mini fridge full of vodka, vicodin, a laptop and a husband bringing me a steady supply of grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. And fuck Verizon, my sup has been pulling her hair out every day trying to figure out why I am on FMLA and calling my house wondering if I am coming into work. Fuck you bitch. It's driving my supervisor batshit crazy knowing my time is well approved by the Family Medical Leave Act, but they have no control over it. My sup called here two days ago and asked my husband when I was coming back to work and he told them it was none of their Goddamn business, we are protected under FMLA. Any major company has a main office that deals specifically with FMLA matters, and they can't share it with you boss, or bosses boss. As long as your medical leave is approved by your company, it is absolutely none of your boss or superior supervisor's business why you are out. You absolutely do not have to share that with them.

Those are the kind of people that would never DREAM of owning a mutt. If it doesn't have papers they don't want it.

Have you guys ever tried watching those stupid ass dog shows? I tried it once and I found it just unbearable boring... And that´s coming from a person that can even watch some old crappy disney movies on tv if there are some animals in it. But could find no joy in watching that ridiculous dog show.
Stuff like this just melts my cold obsidian heart stone.
Rest In Peace Gus.
