National Mutt Day

Today is National Mutt Day. It may be December 2nd but we celebrate this holiday every day at my house. I know a lot of others that do too.

Here are my two mutts:

We call them labs but I really don’t know. We did a DNA test on Moose and it came back 100% lab. I think he’s lab / hound mix and some sort of scent hound because his nose gets him in trouble all the time.

I’m not sure what Molly is mixed with. She is the first dog that I’ve had that howls. When she gets excited… like when she knows she’s going for a walk, she howls. I love it.

I need to do some research on the breeds that howl. She has longer legs than a typical lab. She has a thinner frame and her hair is courser than Moose’s.

I really don’t know what she is… maybe greyhound??

She still doesn’t love my camera. I am going to work with her though and get some better photos of her. Some full body shots and then maybe I’ll do a poll: Guess her breed.

Happy National Mutt Day from Moose and Molly.

Buddy loves his birthday present, the monkey

Buddy loves and I mean loves his monkey.  He actually loves both of the monkeys and if Sam has the other one, he takes it from him.  (Sam sometimes pays him back and takes it back from Buddy.)  Occasionally there is a tug a war contest too:

Bonnie, yellow lab is available for adoption

Bonnie is in foster care with Lab Rescue NC which is the rescue group we used to find our Buddy.  Take a look at Bonnie.... there is a picture of her at the end that is just precious where she is laying on the deck.  I've also not seen a dog getting water therapy before so that was interesting to see.  Click here to see the video.

Buddy

Buddy is having a good morning and this is what I get for procrastinating and not making this bed right away.  Forget that these sheets are clean and that I have a house guest who will be sleeping in this bed and on these sheets tonight.  Sorry mom.... Buddy loves you!
