Sipping Starbucks: An Exploratory Session featuring Rayla and Brittany: Least Favorite Dog Breeds

Topic: Rayla wants me to explain to y'alls y'all (gotta practice my Southern speech, y'all is singular, y'alls y'all is when you are talking to multiple people) my 3 least favorite dog breeds.

On a random first side note, I would like to say that today I am not sipping Starbucks, but Peet's Coffee French Roast. It is actually more expensive than Starbucks, but since Matt gave up coffee for Lent, I thought I would spend the extra money and buy some awesome coffee since it will last longer with only one person drinking it. Peet's is a really good coffee and doesn't have the burnt taste that Starbucks can have, so I love it. With a little bit of half-n-half, it is quite delectable.

On a second not so random side note, I hope none of you actually own one of my least favorite dog breeds, and if you do, I apologize and will give your dog all the chance in the world. My decisions are based mostly on looks, and only partly on experience, having never owned a dog but seeing them daily at my job.

Ok. Onto the list. Least Favorite Dog Number 1: Komondor



Ok, I'm sorry, but if your dog looks like this and you like it, I think you're weird. I could never, EVER own a dog that would take this much effort to take care of. Besides, it just looks kind of ridiculous. And I understand that you can keep the coat shorter, but just knowing that my dog should look like this, how dumb. If I'm going to get a dog, it's not going to look like the item I clean my floor with.

Least Favorite Dog Number 2: Chinese Crested



Need I say more? I mean, really. This dog has a poof on it's head and it's ankles. It's almost as bad as a poodle, but at least the poodle has hair and it's the owners that take it away. This dog can't blame this on their owners. And I can't imagine cuddling a dog that doesn't have hair. A dog is just supposed to have hair. I know this kept them from getting fleas and stuff on the boats back in the olden days, but this is just bad. Poor hairless dog. And it's a small dog. Which is not something I can usually forgive unless it's a Shih Tzu. Those are good dogs.

Least Favorite Number 3: Chihuahuas (Mostly this goes to generic Little Dogs, but I especially dislike Chihuahuas)



So like I said earlier, I usually cannot stand little dogs. I'm sorry, but dogs that are smaller than my late rabbit Benji should just not be called dogs. My dad affectionately calls them "punter dogs," since you can totally practice your field goals with them. In my experience, the little dogs are the most annoying. People don't house break them and they bark at everything. EVERYTHING. And some women carry them around in their purses and think they can take them everywhere. No. I do not agree. The only little dogs I do consistently like are Shih Tzus. They are normally pretty calm and aren't annoying and fairly easy to housebreak.

But back to Chihuahuas. I have met only a handful of them that don't shake ALL THE TIME. Or bark. Or are being carried around and pampered more than something that annoying should be pampered. And their little buggy eyes are CREEPY. So creepy. That makes them not cute. Also, real dogs don't need sweaters to keep them warm. I am a cat person more so than a dog person and dogs should just never be smaller than any cat I shall own in the future. Oh, excuse me, cats that I take care of. Cats don't have owners.

Matt and I are currently getting ready to have a dog once we move to Mississippi, and we keep going back and forth on what kind of dog to get. I can tell you with 100% certainty, however, that we will never own a mop dog, a small hairless dog, or a small annoying shaking barking dog.
