National Mutt Day

Today is National Mutt Day.

Currently 80% of all dogs in shelters are mixed breeds. Unfortunately, most people still need the products of inbred dog eugenics.

My family has always had lots of dogs. Some pure bred and some mutts. I do enjoy the distinct personalities of pure breads, but they are often riddled with health issues. Mixed breeds seem to live longer and are almost indestructible. Pure breads are the Hapsburgs of the animal kingdom. The next time you go to "rescue" a dog... take a look the mutts as well. smile

My dog for years when l was a kid was a shelter dog, a puppy when we got him. He obviously had a good bit of Yellow Lab in him. He was my buddy and great friend. He slept in the den in the basement, but l'd often sneak him upstairs to sleep in my room, against parent's rules. His expression when Mom would catch us was looking at me like, "It's your fault, dude. I knew better but you made me." smile

It took some coaxing but he eventually started swimming in our pool with us, but would only jump in from the side, never the diving board.

And as always happened at our house, the dog and the cat would be best friends.
