Remember Sam, three time winner of the Ugliest Dog Contest, in California? He died last year, so another contender will take the crown at the Sonoma-Marin Fair. Three of the hopefuls are pictured above. You can see more pics, read their stories and vote for your favorite here.

You gotta love people who love their ugly dogs!

Your Inner Dog

In keeping with my animal theme, I'm linking to this funny video of a completely insane dog. Don't take my word for it. Check it out. Could be some kind of weird autoimmune disease?

If you'd like to find out what your inner dog is, try the game on
this site. Click on Game in the left hand column, answer the ten questions and find out which dog you're like. I'm a Shetland Sheepdog. At least I'm not the dog in the video. Well. Sometimes, maybe.

Baby Animals

I'm sorry about this. I seem to need heavy doses of cute lately.



The little feet! Awwwww

Sad News

Sam, the World's Ugliest Dog, has died. R.I.P., Sam.

Update on Sam, The World's Ugliest Dog

Sam, the world's ugliest dog, has a Web site and a newspaper writeup in the Sun Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Mom, Susie Lockheed, 53, has even found her own love connection because of Sam.

The Ugliest Dog

Sam is...well, not really attractive. Fortunately, his owner loves him anyway, and he has just won the Ugliest Dog Contest for the third year in a row.

And now, if your retinas haven't already been burned completely out by Sam's picture, here is quite possibly the cutest dog on the planet. She's Colin's dog, Kaspy, part collie and part coquette. If she weren't living in Scotland, I'd go and dognap her. Well, I'd be tempted to, anyway.

Puppy On The Keys

I'm unfamiliar with the politics of the Identity Card issue. It's obviously more poignant for the British. But this animation is very well done, and the puppy pianist is adorable!
