The dog I've become!

The fullness of my hair has been like that of the Chinese Crested. "The Hairless variety has hair on certain portions of the body" Yup, that's me - some hair here, no hair there. Strangely I lost hair not only on my head but on my arms, as well. http://www.akc.org/breeds/chinese_crested/index.cfm The texture of my hair is like that of the Wire-Haired Pointing Griffon. "The outer coat is medium length, straight and wiry, never curly or woolly. The harsh texture provides protection in rough cover." Wiry - you betcha! http://www.akc.org/breeds/wirehaired_pointing_griffon/index.cfm My forehead is that of a Bassett Hound. "The skin over the whole of the head is loose, falling in distinct wrinkles over the brow when the head is lowered." That's me... I now have a furrowed brow without even trying. http://www.akc.org/breeds/basset_hound/index.cfm My neck is that of a Neapolitan Mastiff. "The voluminous and well- divided dewlap extends from the lower jaw to the lower neck." If a turkey was a dog breed, I'd have a waddle. http://www.akc.org/breeds/neapolitan_mastiff/index.cfm My torso is that of a Great Pyrenees. " The chest is moderately broad. The rib cage is well sprung, oval in shape, and of sufficient depth to reach the elbows. Back and loin are broad and strongly coupled with some tuck-up." Tucked up? Well, a bunch of it surely ought to be tucked up someplace. http://www.akc.org/breeds/great_pyrenees/index.cfm My butt and thigh are like that of a Chinese Shar-Pei. "There are moderate to heavy folds of loose skin and abundant dewlap." That's describes my arse. It starts half-way down and falls in heavy folds down the top of the back of my thighs. http://www.akc.org/breeds/chinese_shar_pei/index.cfm Now if I can just keep myself from wanting to run after the UPS truck... like would be grand.

Donna, You crack me right up! To take the time to research the types of dog that you are!!! Priceless! I think if I were to compare my hair right now to a dogs, it would have to be the head of an Afghan hound...it's kind of long and growing and straight...LOL Fortunatley, I never lost one hair...Don't know why, but it never fell out. Maybe all the protein, I don't know. But, I do notice that it's more limp than ever and fine. I hate it. I used to love styling my hair, but no more. It's a real chore these days. I use more product in my hair than ever. A blow dryer and straightening iron to give it some texture and keep it from flying away. Chasing the UPS man!!! Too funny... When I was a kid, our neighbor's dog used to chase every car that drove down the street. It was WILD. My two bichon frises' escape the front door and run and run around the neighborhood, but don't know to chase a car or anything. They're too busy looking for a new place to pee. (We don't walk them outside of our own yard) They do LOVE the mailman though...he leaves them a dog biscuit daily! They run to the front window when they hear his truck approach! Paula

You are too funny. And by the way, Happy ReBirthday. Yes, we are twins. Koukla
