World's Ugliest Dog 2009

Ok. I admit. This is not the most academic of posts to signal my return after a month of laziness...I mean restfulness. So, here's the beautiful mug of this year's winner. Meet Pabst. Handsome devil isn't he?

And here is the beautiful Miss Ellie. "Miss Ellie, a blind 15-year-old Chinese Crested Hairless, won the pedigree category."

But ever the love of my life...Good ol' Sam. RIP Little guy. Somebody get him some food before he eats his leg off!!
