DOG is GOD Spelled Backwards

I'm fond of saying, "Dog is God spelled backwards because they both love unconditionally." If you are a dog lover, then this statement will ring true with you. Surely you recognize Boo, (photos 1+2), he's been dubbed the cutest dog in the world and I think that assessment is pretty accurate.

My little guy is supposedly a long haired Chihuahua, but I believe there was some funny business in regards to his AKC papers because he looks suspiciously more like a Papillon.

Dogs love so much and require so little. My little guy is the perfect man, (if only he could bring home a paycheck). He stays by my side all day. He acts like he hasn't seen me in a year if I return from the mailbox. He would never dream of complaining about my cooking, licking the plate every time. He doesn't care if I put on a pound or two, or if I've put off the salon for too many weeks and my roots are screaming white trash. I swear he even senses when I'm upset and always snuggles up to try to give comfort in his own little way.

Are you a dog lover? Got a photo of your pooch you would like to share? Email it to me and I'll share it here with a link to your blog. It would love to see the mutt who has captured your heart. If you want to include a little blurb about your four legged kid feel free.

Fifty, Staffordshire Belgian Shepard mix. Owner: Sara of Sara in le Petit Village
"On Saturday, December 5th, The Husband and I headed out shopping for a Christmas tree. Somehow along the way, we found ourselves at the animal rescue center instead. The rescue center was full of dogs and only one puppy. I wanted an older dog, one who had already been trained and didn't have much hope of adoption, but the woman that worked there was adamant we take the puppy. I took one look at him and knew he was ours. The Husband immediately named Fifty (guess what we were listening to in the car on the way there). Fifty and his siblings had been abandoned in a box next to a dumpster (he's my slumdog). Luckily, someone found them and brought them to the rescue center.
That first night, we gave him a bath and he slept for eight hours straight. He hasn't slept through a night since. He is at times the bane of my existence but always my furry little angel (even if he does terrorize the village)..."

Tinley, 9 months old. Owner: Jeanette of Everton Terrace
"This was not long after we brought her home from the Humane Society.  She smiled like this and stole our hearts. When she smiles she lifts up her top lip and shows full gums and teeth, cutest. thing. ever.  We all love her so."
