The hautest dog didn't win Haute Dog SF | The Jet Set Pets

It?s not that I?ve been drinking Hatorade this morning. I like Poncho. Really I do. Even if he did win medals that should have been mine. In my mind, I was the hautest dog at Haute Dog SF, a doggie runway fashion show. I don?t know what those judges saw in Poncho that they didn?t see in me.

We?re both 11 years old. We?re both longhair Chihuahuas. He?s a rescue. My mommy jokes that she rescued me from a breeder in Pasco, Wash.?I strutted down the runway. He came out right after me. His mommy had to practically drag him. I rocked a dazzling red bamboo outfit trimmed in gold designed by Fifi & Romeo Founder Yana Syrkin that accentuated my girlish figure. He wore a baroque patterned vest trimmed with red pom pom fringe, a shirt and a bow tie designed by Michelle Ducasse. Hrrmph!

The fact is I?m cuter. Don?t you agree??Well, I guess it doesn?t matter what I think. Congratulations Poncho.

In all the excitement and my hurt feelings, I may have forgotten to tell him that afterward. His mommy teased me for wanting to come and play with her little winner after nearly attacking him backstage. The truth is, I just wanted some of the treats she was giving him after the show when some of us canines hung around on the runway. But if she wants to think I was being nice, then who am I to argue.

I know Poncho?s mommy thinks I have no social skills.?As we waited for the Haute Dog SF show to begin, I admit I wasn?t the nicest dog. But anyone who reads this blog knows that I just don?t like dogs. Since I knew that aggressive dogs would be tossed out of the event quicker than a cat runs up a tree when I chase it, I tried to be nice. But I just couldn?t help myself. I snapped at Zeus, a Yorkie, and Poncho. Bean, a Mi-Ki, knew to stay away from me.?My mommy publicly scolded me and said if only my attitude was as pretty as my outfit, then I would be a winner. That hurt! But sometimes the truth hurts.

Then I watched how Zeus and Poncho sniffed one another. Curious about what they were smelling on one another, I decided to give it a try. From a distance, I ?smelled Zeus. Not too bad. And then I turned toward Poncho. I don?t know what got into me but I got all up in his butt and sniffed away. Now I have never done anything like that in my life. I just couldn?t stop sniffing. I became intoxicated by Poncho.

I guess Poncho has that effect on others. Dogs and Haute Dog SF judges both. Congratulations again.

Watch me on the Haute Dog SF runway during and after the show:
