SAM I AM

I just about spit out my Peet’s Sumara Coffee this morning when I caught a glimpse of this dog on King 5 news in the morning. Yes, this is the dog I depicted in a past entry. A pic I stole from the infamous Craigs List. I was delighted to discover this dog is indeed a real, living, breathing dog with a name. His name is SAM and I find this very fitting for a dog of his caliber. He is the world’s ugliest dog three years running now.

Hard to believe this ugly dog is a purebred-Chinese Crested Hairless. I would guess that this dog is an accident of breeding from the looks of it. Potato chip ears, patches of white hair on the top of his head, black heads, brown warts and moles. A large hernia lump attached to his hind quarters, cataracts which cause one eye to be milky white the other eye redish-purple. I just had to google this dog and learn everything about my new diary Mascot. I think this dog is just adorable and cuddlable. I see he has a blog, T-shirts, comic strip, Jay Leno appearance.

The pic below is my Sam snuggled up in I’m guessing a 10,000 thread count luxurous egyptian sheets at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. He is in the middle of his 15 minutes of fame.

and to think he was a adoption agency reject

*sigh*

Oh my gosh, I saw him on tv before but not up close lol.. he looks.. like a cat I dissected in Bio.. he looks pickled lol.

i’d feel sorry for the pup, but he’s obviously loved and well cared for? i hope … did you see all toes he has ? wow.

Oh lordy girl……I LOVEEE animals to death, but I got sick to my stomach just looking at him….. Golly, I will have to google him also, just to see what comes up…… Ish! sorry,,,,,,,,maybe I can get used to him.? Sigh

Mmmmm, warts and hair! Yummy. I don’t think you’re supossed to feed Sam after midnight though, or other Sams will pop out of his belly and grow into pods, and then before you know it, Phoebe Cates will be telling us how her dad got stuck in the chimney one Christmas, and we’ll all be weeping.

P.S. Come back for my Sparkly Tour………grin

I would be scared about the radiation levels where sam lives. just saying. and you own one of these breed?

OMG! That dog makes me sick. I mean, I gag a lot anyway with this whole pregnancy thing, but that dog makes me want to actually vomit! He looks like he was burned in a fire and some mean person saved him. He needs braces and he really does have a lot of toes! EWWW!! Gross!

I saw a Chinese Crested in person once and it did give me pause. This one looks like a nightmare come to life.

I love dogs…but this one looks like something out of a horror movie! Which…in a way…is actually kind of cool. 🙂

Seriously though, he does look like a very prime example of what happens after inbreeding. Look at how many claws he has on the one leg. Not just his paw, but they seem to go all the way up. I don’t understand it.

i feel so sorry for him. poor thing.

August 24, 2005

I love him……

August 24, 2005

I think he’s a kick-ass dog. —

August 24, 2005

That’s the scariest looking thing I’ve ever seen…

August 25, 2005

wow. that is gross.

ryn: ha. like mine WASN’T??? LOL. it’s so fun!

Woman, you have lost your mind.

August 27, 2005

I saw him on TV and he is just–indescribable–but you do a pretty good job! Love it! 🙂

ryn: what do you mean? the one that looks like really bad printing or the good printing?

Re: Thank you! I can honestly say the same about you.

I think that that dog is going to give me nightmares! And I love dogs!

he scares me.

Truly a dog only a mother could love. Then again, maybe not. He looks like Stripe, the rebel gremlin (after bright lights hit) from Speilberg’s movie Gremlins. (So long ago!)

The poor thing…Talk about messed up genes…

I read about this dog in the Los Angeles Times and the Drudge Report. Even in the daytime, he’s a nightmare.
