The first time that I ever saw a Pug in my life remains to me a very clear memory. I was over a good girlfriend’s house in high school, in come her mum with this squat, black, snorty thing. Never had I seen anything like it. Certain that it was a hybrid between a common housefly, a dog, and possibly a raisin; I couldn’t believe my eyes. Not that I have, or intend on doing the research, and I have no idea/ particular care what it’s lineage is. What does interest me is how breeds in general come into existence. Now, Im no semen scientist, not a regular old person with a natural knack for gynecology, no anthropologist… none of the fields that would inform me as to if breeding has happened between extremely different species. However, as an innocent (ignorant?) bystandard, I would give an emphatic ‘Yes!’; there has been a lot of ‘co-mingling’ and partying between animals.
At the (best) dog park (ever) the other day (shout out to Fernhill!), I came up on a small dog that kinda rocked my world. He was fidgety, so it was pretty challenging to get a fair picture of him with my 5 & dime phone camera. I did manage to get a decently hot head shot of this little beast to show you, and a pretty flattering picture at that. Doesn’t he look rather noble?

I found that I was unable to speak in my normal voice around this dog- thing. Why? It kept involuntarily raising a good 4 octives and I’de find myself talking in what would best be described as a penguin’s voice, if I had to choose. I know; ”Creative”. But I’m serious!
He had very soft, white hair atop of his head, where on his back he had thick, coarse hair- Sheep hair! He had a cowboy walk. I would say that his lineage was intersected and smashed together with a dog, a sheep, a light brown ant, and a sentient football. But that’s just my guess.
Either way- the jury was out, and interestingly enough, no one seemed able to pass him with out eliciting some sort of extreme response. Some exclaimed on how cute, others on how hideous, strange, funny looking…
All in all I am forever grateful for the mutts, and will love them even if some bat, spider and eel snuck in there.
Moral of the story? Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.

He’s adorable, in a very pathetic sort of way.
Ha, yes I completely agree.
Seeing as I am pretty much a mutt myself (german-american-czech) I will always go for the mix and match – doesn’t that make it all more fun – Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier – it was a pleasure returning the favour and I will be sure to check back in soon – weird thing though I had to go through your gravatar profile in order to find the page – the wordpress link was broken and told me you had deleted your profile- you might want to check up on that. Keep it coming – interesting stuff 🙂
Yes, I myself am a mutt. Thanks for stopping by as well and thank you so much on letting me know about the defunct link. Strange…. Hopefully i can navigate this convoluted system and make it work! Till next time*
Sure thing – would be a shame if you couldn’t find your neck of woods right away 🙂
I love that pup pup, how sweet is he!!! I am a total animal lover and think he is just too sweet.
yes, very “good personality”.
I’ve only owned pure-breeds, but they were all cute. Mutts are also quite cute. I would have to say, though, a lot has to do with the dog’s personality. An ugly dog personality can completely negate the cute factor — unless, of course, it’s a hairless breed. I have to draw the line somewhere.
For sure. Just like people. Personality goes a long way. I’m a mutt person myself. And, consequently, I am a mutt. I think it accounts for my good looks and intelligence. (;
The little shock of white fluff is a bit endearing, but the overall look is quite something.
agreed (:
I have the perfect emoticon for this fella: ❤️!!!
haha right?
I used to have a senior rescue 10lbs grey poodle, with thinning hair and a toothless grin. He was adorbs!! 😍
oh my gosh! too much. You should think about writing some haikus for him!
