The also rans II: Puppy Mills

Don't worry folks I have no intention of buying a dog from a pet shop.
(Of course I had no intention when I bought Nunu either.)

But, truth be told I wasn't really at risk of buying these other dogs when I saw them.
For one thing I have a dog. I don't need another.

Also these dogs were boys.
And I can't scratch a boy dog's belly.

Because of the "lipstick."

    That is precisely the reason all three of my dogs are girls!

    And all three of my dogs are rescue dogs too, and two of them are just random mixed up mutts. They make the best dogs.

    Hey! You did read our comments!
    I did wish you'd include more pics of Nunu...
    Lipstick, that is wack!
    It would be nice fro Nunu to have a little MACHO MAN in the house, so they could give you some Nunu babies!
    Imagine a house full of Nunus!
    How cute!

    Both of my boys are rescue dogs. In fact, all of my dogs save one were rescues.

    'Lipstick' is an issue with only one of them. This mental picture is the main reason I just can't use the stuff and never wear lipstick.

    Our dog's lipstick doesn't ever come out. I think he was neutered too early.

    I have two male rescue dogs, and once they've been neutered for a while, the "lipstick" is rarely seen. And never when I'm scratching their bellies!

    Thanks for responding to our concerns. You rock.

    Jorge, you're an awesome human. You could have been offended, gotten defensive, or ignored all the puppy mill comments. Instead you acknowledged the concerns, moved on, and were even funny without mocking anyone. I love your blog not only because it is interesting, but also because your sweet (and creative, and funny, and thoughtful...)personality shines through in every post. The world needs more people like you. Thanks.

    lipstick, I love it! my kids call it "the pink"...but I think it's gonna be lipstick for now on! Too funny.

    I have a random request...my husband got in a car accident last saturday. We are both HUGE fans...if it's not too much trouble, would you leave him a comment on our family blog? If you're too busy, that's cool.

    LMAO! We've always called it "the lipstick." When I was a kid, I'd ne like, "Maaaa! The dog's lipstick is out!"

    You always always need another dog. My dog has a dog who also has a dog who then has a cat and the cats just have each other. It's a vicious cycle!

    Such a cute puppy!!! I really don't like pet stores myself and I always want to rescue all of them and take them home. I can't at all so I avoid them as much as possible but I do like to look and hope that one doesn't see me and think that I'm the human that will take them home and take care of them. But really she is adorable and looking forward to seeing more pics in the future!! Side note...Is there any filming ever on Maui?? I am hoping that me and my family will be making it out this next May. I love Oahu dearly but I have never been on the smaller islands. I have been on the Big Island once but that is the extent. Hope all is well and I am a huge Lost fan as is my mom. Nothing interrupts our Lost time...lol.

    Ok, so Scout has a lipstick.

    He's still my baby, been my companion through lots of thick and thin.

    However, lipstick would be appropriate cause it's not much bigger.

    Maybe that's why his bark is so big~~~compensating!! lol

    And ditto to Shannon.

    In 1981, ed hardy and his wife formed

    Hardy Marks Publications. In 2004, Christian Bale licensed the rights to

    produce the high-end Ed Hardy UK line, which is based on Hardy's

    imagery. Prior to the ed hardy

    clothing     line, Bale was the Head Designer at Von Dutch

    Originals, which marketed the imagery of Kenny Howard. Don ed

    hardy    , commented, As demand for my artwork continues to

    skyrocket, I felt it was ed hardy

    clothing     time to take on a partner that could help me manage

    the demand and opportunities for the ed

    hardy     T-shirts name. Iconix is at the forefront of brand

    management and clearly has the capabilities to dramatically grow the Ed

    Hardy UK business. I'm thrilled to have them as a partner. Cheap Ed

    Hardy are located in everywhere. We also believe that by owning the brand

    alongside ed hardy clothing, the founder,

    there will be opportunities to further leverage his iconic name along with his

    new artwork. Largest selection of Ed Hardy T-Shirts and Ed Hardy here.
