Dog for Dinner

Alexis and I, being the poor college students that we are, frequently go to the various malls in our area (primarily Arizona Mills but occasionally we visit Chandler Fashion and Fiesta, as well).

"Poor people going to malls?" you say.  Certainly!  Although we hardly ever buy anything except the occasional DQ Blizzard (now that we're part of the Blizzard Fan Club--very exclusive--it makes us feel quite elitist).  We mainly just go to get out of the house and walk around.  While we're there, we always make a point of stopping in the pet shop to look at the puppies 'on display.'

Occasionally, we get to see the employees feeding the dogs their dinner (not feeding the dogs for dinner, of course)--which is quite entertaining, to say the least.  This is a cute little Husky (I believe) that seems quite suspicious of his dinner--the little red thing that keeps frightening him.

Now, I have a question for all of you.  Alexis and I really liked the "Puggle" (blend of Pug and Beagle) but weren't such big fans of its price tag (about $1000--although there was an option to Finance the dog!).  Do you think this is a cute dog?

  What kind of dog do you have / or wish you had?  What's the most you've ever paid (or heard someone pay) for a dog?  Feel free to comment below.
