Can you be so ugly its cute?! Petunia, a 2-year-old hairless English-French bulldog mix from Eugene, Ore., arrived at the Sonoma County Fair in Santa Rosa, Calif., not as a polished show dog but as herself.

I’ve been in radio here in Jax, playing country music for a long time, but I’m now trading my cowboy hat in for a lovely tiara & I’m excited to be on Easy 102.9.
