It’s inked on the arm of mbolism, mom to previously featured VooDoo and Aurora Dior. Her friend billyvoo took the photo [...]

Once again the “winner” of the Ugliest Dog Award is a Chinese Crested. He’s missing an eye and only has three legs because of cancer. He’s not that ugly, in my opinion. I’m not really sure what to make of a contest like that, or what to make of the dominance of Cresteds in the [...]
