sad sweater pug yes!

That is the indiest pug ever.

Oh man I can't work ilx these days. Anyway, please watch this video (you'll have to sit through a few seconds of cute Japanese popstress but I promise you a PUPPY that is worth it!)

And here are some shiba inu pups:

Would... it be wrong of me to sign up to puppy forums on ravelry when I have no dog? I would just be signing up for the pictures? But, heck, knitters know how to take good photos!

My favourite pugs are still the Bloomsbury Pugs - they walk around Bloomsbury in pairs with their owners and they wear necklaces! I have deduced they are from somewhere east of Liverpool Street as ONCE I SAW THEM ON THE TUBE and it was very exciting!

Wait - what's this about necklace pugs? I used to live not far from there and never saw any pugs in necklaces. Not fair.

Here is a place I would like to visit:
http://www.dog-cafe.jp/

Their slogan is "with dog, with eat, with drink, with relax, with enjoy"!

Of course it is!

Just look at all the happy dogs!

xpost: ENBB! They get taken on walks in the general Bloomsbury area! I work around there and have enjoyed spotting them for years. I have even given one a surreptitious cuddle when the black one was tied outside Boots on Tottenham Court Road one day. It was a highlight of my year!

I work in Holborn and have never seen these Bloomsbury pugs. Do they venture that far South?

x-post awwww. I am jealous! I would like to see these sharply accessorized pooches. My pug would let you cuddle him. He likes that sort of thing. He doesn't have a necklace but he does have an awesome dog tag that says "wiggle butt".

I don't think so - I've only really seem them in the triangle between Torrington Place, Busaba on Store Street and the Fitzrovia Tavern on Goodge Street.

Here is a photo I took of Sidney standing on a stump and looking particularly silly. She is GRATE. Her powers of eating EVERYTHING are something us humans could really aspire to, in your face that woman from 'love food hate waste' who was on ready steady cook earlier.

I like Sidney.

And this is when Sidney met a pug!

xpost: oh dear this is what people with babies are like isn't it... *sigh*

awwww and yes, it totally is but don't worry I'm exactly the same

I grew up with toy poodles -- my grandparents had a pedigreed female, Jody, who they later bred, and they kept two of the litter and named them Mork and Mindy. (LOL 70s.) When I was 10, we got a toy poodle of our own, Cherie, who lived about 11 years. So I still totally rate toy poodles.

When I was in college, I got a pug, who I eventually had to give to my grandfather. Love love love love pugs. But I'm still voting for poodles.

superpitching - I've already posted about 100 too many pics of this guy on ILX but here's B being caught eating something he shouldn't be: http://i53.tinypic.com/4ku0dl.jpg

Obviously voting for poodles.

My inlaws have a mastiff, a german shepherd and a Pyrenees cross...I heart big dogs!

Before the mastiff and the Pyrenees they had St Bernard siblings, a brother and sister. They are beautiful-tempered dogs. The sister, Mina, was mad as a march hare. She acted like was a puppy even though she was the size of a shetland pony. She'd try to walk under the coffee table, or walk up to the couch and sit on your lap...she crawled into the drivers seat of the car once and got her head stuck in the steering wheel.
Best story is the day she met face to face with a goat. She decided that she would play with it so she starts barking and jumping around and the goat rears back and headbutts her full in the snout. Poor girl, she looked like she was going to cry. Like "Ow WTF dude!!!"

So many beautiful dogs. I like mine handsome with short fur, I voted Foxhound:

Dudes, we have a 17 year old Yorkie who is awesome.

I will not hear of this categorical besmirching of Yorkies.

Also, possibly have a sense of self: http://animalwise.org/2011/08/16/the-yellow-snow-test-for-self-recognition/

I've heard interesting anecdotes about dogs using pretty complex cause-effect logic.

Well just one: A border collie has a favourite spot on its master's bed, but, because numerous other dogs also live in the house, the spot is often taken by another dog. The Border collie goes to the other side of the house and starts barking at nothing until the other dogs come to join and start barking (at nothing) too. The border collie takes back its spot.

I am really, really easily amused:

wd've voted schnauzer if I'd seen the poll

I think we need to do one of those more complex polls where you list your choices in order.

i met a dog yesterday named "Sniffy".

No bearded collie, no Tibetan terrier, no credibility.

Also, possibly have a sense of self: http://animalwise.org/2011/08/16/the-yellow-snow-test-for-self-recognition/

I don't think I understand how the pee test relates to self-recognition? Hasn't it always been assumed that animals that mark their territory know their own markings?

Look who greatly improved my typically dreary walk to the tube this morning!

English Bull Terrier is surely the worst dog. I saw someone walking a huge one the other day, it was about the size of a small pig.

I also automatically assume that everyone who owns one of these is a racist.

I must say this doesn't make a lick of goddamn sense.

It is a handsome and noble dog for everyone on the spectrum from anti-racist to racist and in between.
