A Really Dumb Idea

The latest must-have dog, the puggle....a beagle crossed with a pug. Why anyone would want what appears from the photo to be a brown & black beagle with really buggy eyes is beyond me. You know what beagles do? They bark. Incessantly. You know what pugs do? Bark incessantly at the slightest noise. I can only imagine what the resultant cross breed does.

"This dog will jump through hoops to try and please you. She's very lovable, she doesn't shed that much and she knows exactly what I want her to do," he said about his 6-month-old puggle puppy. "I was worried in the beginning that my neighbors would complain about her barking, but they tell me she has the cutest little howl."

Ummm, yeah. That's what they say to your face anyway. Behind your back I'm sure they discuss ways to toss her a biscuit.***

Cutest little howl indeed.

'Toss her a biscuit' refers to the now-defunct method of dealing with a neighbor's annoying dog....feed it a biscuit soaked in anti-freeze.

I saw that article yesterday, and immediately thought of you for some odd reason.

That's nothing. My vet has a chia-pug....an accidental crossing of a chihuahua & a pug. That is one of the ugliest damn dogs you ever saw.

If you want an ugly animal, check out this page, and scroll or search for "Pyewacket".

Eeeewww! Looks like that momma cat has been messin' around with a possum.

Good grief. That's nasty. Probably a very loving cat, but just plain repulsive to look at.

The howl is probably cute for about 30 seconds, then it is just plain annoying.

I wonder how much he paid for a "puggle". Just like people paying for cock-a-poo's; they are just mongrels that someone is trying to make money off of, by passing of as a "breed" by giving it a name.

That pyewacket thing - looks like live roadkill.
