Los Feliz Street Fair: for the dogs
()
There were so many funny dogs at the Los Feliz street fair on Sunday, I almost forgot that I was there to take photos of people. I was having a grand time watching the dogs maneuver their way past the Scientologists to sniff the butts of the other dogs and then start barking away. Why is this so amusing to me? I don't know. I take solace in the fact that it takes so little to keep me entertained. I save money that way.
All the Los Feliz Dogs you'd ever want to meet after the jump:
I got home to find that I'd taken about 50 photos of canines, and all of them were spectacularly nice dogs. But I had to narrow it down, so here's a few.

You know what they say about dogs that are hung like horses... Damn, that's speciesism. Call the union, I want that phrase edited.

Ladies, ladies. Wait your turn. There's enough tongue to go around. You can't all have me at once. Vultures, I tell you.

Okay, Malingering-lady. If I see any Uggs I promise to maul them. But don't go back on your word about that steak you promised.

Great, all of the other dogs have Louis Vuitton pooch purses and I get carried around in a patent leather shoebox? I hope my agent doesn't see me.

Can I get some water back here? I'm getting a little dehydrated. Feel like I'm shriveling up. Thanks.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
