"THOSE ARE THE CUTEST DOGS I'VE EVER SEEN!"Lyle and I were just wrapping up a nice long walk at Hendry's Beach when we saw something truly incredible. A woman was sitting on a towel with her husband and three dogs. But these weren't ordinary dogs...oh no! Well, one was, but that's because he was a Chihuahua. But the other two I cannot even begin to describe! I had to know what they were, so I swallowed the knot that was building in my throat and growled at Lyle to stop his screams of horror and approached the women and her entourage. I could never be an actress, but I think even Tori Spelling would have been proud of the performance I gave this day! "Those are the cutest dogs! What kind are they?" I asked She first introduced Napolean, the puppy Chihuahua who had a major attitude and kept trying to attack Lyle, who was a mere 5 times his size! But then came the fun stuff! It's a pity I can't remember their names, but the imagine they've burned on my soul is there forever! The other two dogs were completely bald, but worlds different from each other. Now some people call Chihuahuas bald, but that's when they just have very short hair...these dogs were BALD! The uglier one was a Chinese Crested. There are some sites about these mockeries of caninedom out there, but none of the pictures on them are near what this dog looked like. She/he/it (do these things reproduce?!?) was completely bald except for a shock of stringy white hair on the top of its head. It's body was whitish-pink with gross black birthmarks all over it. That's about as far as I want to go with describing it so as not to call that horrid imagine back into my mind too clearly. The other one she claimed to be a Mexican Hairless. I haven't been able to find any sites on this breed, so that must not have been its AKC name. He wasn't quite so bad as he was black (so you couldn't see any veins through his skin) and he didn't have that awful topknot, but he did have a mole on his back with a tuft of hair growing out of it.
But you know what the weirdest thing about this was? Here was this lady with two hairless, and one very shorthaired dog, yet her husband was perhaps the hairiest individual I'd ever seen! He was bald up top, but he didn't have a shirt on and had a pelt covering his chest and back! I don't know if the dogs were her way of compensating for this, or if maybe she was trying to tell him something. You'd think that leaving Schick® coupons laying around the house would do the trick! lyle home | lyle stories | lyle links | lyle fame |
