there are lots of mixes where one does know what goes into a specific pooch.
Yes--I was just saying that to me those weren't mutts.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bear is a mutt in that she is vaguely a number of breeds with nothing strongly reminiscient of one.
Kuma is identifiably one breed. He is most likely a purebreed Jindo, but he is non-characteristic, in terms of behavior, to his breed.

Well, I am back from running errands. The only good thing about this weather is that I can ice my finger just by going outside.

Good afternoon!
Happy birthday to Victor and Adian! -I think that's all the enthusiasm I can muster today.
Going home next weekend for Mardi Gras.

Many of the breed descriptions I read these days are talking about dogs that live in closer quarters with people than I'm used to, so there are things I'm not sure our Dobie ever had a chance to react to. I'm sure there's a fancy pants purebreed market in Jamaica--I'm just as sure it's not large. Oh, they're animals all right.
Okay. Off to teach.

Ha. In the Fresh Air interview, they just talked about Shar Pei/Bassets = Sharp-assets.
I have no shame in the degree to which I love my dog. He represents the one thing I have loved most in my entire life. Sad or not, that is the case.
But I think I actually love him better (meaning being a more effective caretaker) because I acknowledge and respect the fact that he is an animal.
Pretending otherwise seems a disservice to us both.

Our mutt is perhaps one of the best randomly well behaved dogs I have ever seen. She is just awesome. The mini dachshund is soooo cute and very sweet, but the chewing. My god the chewing...
