DOGSPOTTING: New Yorkie! New Yorkie!

Well, well, what do we have here? Looks like the friendliest little fella' that's ever walked. Spotted in Hollywood, the Yorkie guy pretty much asked me to take a picture. He looks so approachable and happy-go-lucky. This is definetly not your average yipey purse pup. And the dog-bed-head hair style? LOVE IT! A grown-out puppy cut with a well-groomed frame around the face-- that is what puppy poster-pups are made of. And again with those ears! I am a total sucker for dogs with a great set of ears. You can tell that he is a good listener as well as a good friend.

DOGSPOTTING: YES WE CANINE

Like many Southern California residents, I am indifferent to the Chihuahua thanks to the overpopulation of the breed here. I read somewhere that they are not only the #1 breed in California, but also make up 30% of dogs in some shelters! These little fellas are EVERYWHERE and they start to lose their appeal after you see a hundred. But as I walked into my local 7-Eleven, this little dude caught my eye. Leashed up and waiting for his owner, this pint-sized pup gave the come-hither-(pet me)-look. I love the coloring and those over-sized ears. I think his stature is what makes him so cute; confident yet approachable. An ambassador Chihuahua, representing for his breed, giving speeches outside corner markets, and licking babies faces. Vote for Chihuahua 2012.
