My wife's Chinese Crested (no it's not a hairdo), a semi hairless dog that looks like a bald rat on steroids with a bad hair day. No wonder this breed consistently wins the "Ugliest Dog Title." This one is not gifted with anything close to intelligence; he goes out into the yard through his doggie door and then comes back into the house when it is time to go to the bathroom! I keep hoping for a hungry chicken hawk but so far, no luck! Oh well. "Hope springs eternal in the human breast ..." My son just got a Ball Python ... hmmm.
