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.

Mrs K.,
Those people do indeed SUCK. My motto, never trust someone that doesn't love a mutt.

Gabriela,
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.

I know, Clarisse. I find it disturbing. My adopted chihuahua, who by the way, gets along with the shepherd splendidly, has also been the subject of ridicule. One day when visiting La Jolla again to see a vintage car show (and inadvertently also a plastic surgery freak show) children began pointing to him saying "Eww look how big he is". All because he is a healthy 9 pounds and not some 4 pound accessory to stuff in my purse.

no shit, Gabby, my favorite chihuahuas are always 9 pounds. That is, like, the perfect size.

I would have slapped those children silly.

My brains tell me he's a douche,

Wow the last sentence in this post made me cry...
Gus was absolutely adorable in his ugliness.
Rest in peace little guy.

Gus is cute!!!!
RIP, little buddy.

SO today I bring Minch to the dog park and he decides that it is a good day to pick a fight with an INTACT pit bull. A PIT BULL WITH BALLZ who is 3 times the size.
Thank God the PB had a sweet disposition.

GUS IS BEAUTIFUL. ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE CAN SUCK THE TURTLE HEAD OUT OF MY PUCKERING ITCHING SPHINCTER
+++++++++++++++++++

Really, Chuck? You really have a turtlehead inside your puckering itching sphincter?

Hmmmm. Is your sphincter itching because of a turtlehead allergy?

Fascinating mental picture.

Nonetheless, bro, I'd def get that checked out.

As far as flossing with feces, you're on your own with that one.

Poor Gus! R.I.P. You were much better looking than Mickey Roarke.

I completely agree. It's good to know even the ugliest of us can find love. Thanks for giving me hope, Gus.

Gabriela,
You know, someone asked you that, because there are people out there that WOULD DO IT!

RIP little ugly!

Aww, poor Gus. They say the big stars always go in threes. For their sake I hope Ginger O'Day and Daisy Simpson are next on the list.

My German Shepherd is missing half an ear. My daughter named him Hoffanear. He was like that when we adopted him from German Shepherd Rescue of Los Angeles. But he had the sweetest disposition of all the dogs at the center and we couldn't believe when he came right up to offer us his paw that no one else had even inquired about him.

One day I was walking Hoffanear around La Jolla and some lady all shot up with collagen asked me if I was going to have some plastic reconstructive surgery performed on his ear or if I was just going to walk around with him like that. I should have asked her if her lobotomy was expensive or if it came free with the wonky facelift.

don't worry...nobody can see how fat you really are.

Aw, MK. That was a beautiful eulogy. I almost cried.

"I don't agree with that in the workplace."

GUS IS BEAUTIFUL. ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE CAN SUCK THE TURTLE HEAD OUT OF MY PUCKERING ITCHING SPHINCTER AND THEN FLOSS YOUR TEETH AND GARGLE WITH THE FECAL MATTER. EVEN ANTS SHOULD NOT BE KILLED. EVEN ACORNS SHOULD NOT BE STEPPED ON. ONLY ROACHES. THAT IS ABOUT ALL.
