They're so cute. I don't get why people think they're not preciously adorable. Our neighbor has 5 pugs. Yes, they're loud, but so damn cute. Love both Bostons and Pugs. They’re so cute.

That's why ugly dogs are cute--because they love us anyway, even if we don't really deserve it. And they're so innocent and naive about it that we don't care if they're ugly. We just wish way more people would be like that. Then maybe we'd like them more, too.

And that dog was just PURE ugly. No cuteness involved. But it was entertaining nonetheless! I did feel pangs of embarrassment for him, because his owner was parading him around for his ugliness.

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 18:27:56 +0000 http://www.misszoot.com/2007/03/30/ignorance-is-bliss/#comment-59789 I love Boston Terriers. We had one when I was growing up, actually, he was my brother's. His name was Jeff's Sir Wilbur. We called him Wilbur, Wilbs,or Wab! God, he was funny! He would come wake me up on Saturday mornings by doing "crazy dog" on my bed! He would come hauling ass into my room, making a flying leap on to my bed, race around on it, and then leap off. Only yo do it all over again. When he died we bought another one. He was P.D. Pendleton. We called him Petey, Petes, or Stinky Petes! He had a plastic dumbell that he would suck on. Literally the entire top part of it would be in his mouth. He would hold the other end between his paws and suck away. That was his "mook", because that was what it sounded like when he sucked on it! Don't even get me started on Petey Mama! When I had my first child, he would go CRAZY when the baby so much as whimpered! You had to get the baby RIGHT AWAY, or he would freak out! He was a good dog. Someone took him from us right before Christmas two years ago. We have never seen him since. Sorry, I didn't mean to have such a long post, or a sad one. That said, cyber-bullying is pathetic. End of story. BTW? We will be buying another Boston Terrier for the boys. They are awesome with children. There is no better dog for kids!! I love Boston Terriers.

It was a dog show for the ugliest dogs you've ever seen. The defending champion's owner said their vet had absolutely no idea what breed(s) her dog might be. This thing was crazy looking!

I'm sorry. I bow my head in shame. I don't like the eyes. Something very scary about those eyes. Anyways, I stay away from those blogs that trash other blogs. My blog is private, so I don't have to worry about that. Unfortunately, I am one of those people who do not think that pugs or boston terriers are cute. I’m sorry. I bow my head in shame.

I have also received a few emails about certain topics people think I shouldn’t post on. I also get comments to tell me how crap certain posts are (sometimes even how crap my blog is). I don’t know why people complain. We you don’t pay a licence fee and have the right to demand decent programming. Nor are we holding a monopoly on the best channels. No simply if you don’t like something log off and move on. Incidentally with dogs, and new born babies, I think the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

When ever my mother comes over she will say to the pug, "If you weren't so ugly, you'd be really ugly" The ugly MAKES them cuddly...amazing. I think it is because a lot of "ugly" dogs are also smaller dogs, and people naturally associate small with cute (maybe?) as the owner of a pug, I totally know what you mean.
