Dogs

Thanks to frequent visits to a very popular dog park I have made some dog friends. And by friends I mean the dogs...not the owners. This post is mostly to let you know that there are some interesting animals in this world. Such as this ridiculous thing:



This is a Peruvian Hairless dog. It is so nasty. It has NO hair but instead just skin. Skin that feels like I imagine an elephant feels. Gross. A really hot woman entered the park with not one but TWO of these things. She called one over so I could touch it and only after touching it was she nice enough to let me know she had just covered the thing in oil to keep it from getting a sunburn. Gross. She explained to me that this breed is so rare that there are only two breeders in the entire United States but she actually "rescued" hers. I didn't ask exactly what that means but I would imagine it means that some stupid rich people with allergies to normal dogs paid for these ugly things then realize that they're gross and so she adopted them?

Also there were two giant black Standard Poodles there a few days ago. One was named Oliver and the other Twist. There was another dog named "Baby Mama" and yet another named "Hot Mama." All four of these oddly named animals were members of the same doggie day care group visiting the park. I assume they all came from some kind of East Village-ish neighborhood where people insist on naming their animals and children funny and slightly witty things. Overall though I find all of the names to be stupid and dumb.


Also - I got a job. I start tomorrow. More on that when I have something to say about it.
