Toys just wanna have fun
Here are the official "cute" dogs -- short little legs, hair bows, the proverbial lap & purse dogs: the chihuahuas, a toy poodle, Cavalier King Charles spaniel, maltese, pomeranian.
Fred Bassett is the name of the judge. That's pretty funny.
Ah, an affenpinscher. There was one in my neighborhood named Rita Hayworth. Rita Hayworth got out one night. A neighbor and I took her back home, thanks to a collar tag engraved with her address.

The Cavaliers are very popular, this one's named "Jack."
Mario, the long-haired chihuahua, followed by the more familiar short-haired variety. Such tiny faces. Ooo, a prancer! Her feet barely touch the ground.
The Chinese Crested ("China") reminds me of Paris, a Mexican hairless dog that comes to the dog park. The latter named, of course, for Paris Hilton.
Wow, the next dog, a Japanese variety, I missed the name, is almost rolling his eyes as the judge probes toward his tail end. Hilarious.



Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie.
