The dog drew a crowd. Why? They are rare here in Melbourne so we are not used to seeing a dog that is almost hairless.<br /><br />To us, dogs should be covered in some sort of dense, short, long , wiry, curly or silky hair. The only time most of us see our dog's skin is when they are shaved for an operation. This makes the Chinese Crested unique - almost a freak of nature.<br /><br /><br />The Crested in the Video appears to have a jaw problem - the tongue is hanging out. The dog in the Victoria Street window manages to keep his tongue where it should be and I think he is sweet.Emhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03856610625882576175noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276507261387253659.post-56548554655298226312009-06-25T02:48:00.000-07:002009-06-25T03:07:26.975-07:00Dogs take a trip to the library<div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">The Port Philip Public Library in St Kilda is a great place to hang out.</span></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 328px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351201252443636098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrhl-N2ai8BDpf0BmAurMMMREvBUXI1ozctjHRPok7oMMXAwseVRk95YZ5JkQFyCBXwCar3tDsLzzQINX32GzTC920W6_rPrJpAQYA67zEE7pjFfUR7ZbgvXeWb3MdzuaOCfH5EV-gRuvE/s400/Two-cross-breeds-at-the-lib.jpg" />These two dog ride to the library in style. The boring part is waiting. They are both cross breeds and very lively. They use their waiting time to snooze and re-new their energy base.<br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351200917599362418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhoDKU4f-iNV99pZHwyvrIaTa4D90l5GJ6HOQsuG2IvBnVrUSqMma8ium7HGfECaVTJM9Y8lQsJcXdeW3fbe6v3KB_JGMogaaD8OFppKbvB28KiSRNJg7AuBuRKrW9kCZdJUGO9MPRazn4/s400/Small-cross-breed-dogs.jpg" /></span> <div><span style="font-family:arial;">It is only half snoozing.
