Celebrate National Mutt Day!

According to to Wikipedia, a mutt is a mongrel, mixed-breed dog that does not belong to one officially recognized breed and is not the result of intentional breeding.  I prefer to think of us as wonderful combinations that come in a surprise package ~ you are never quite sure what you are getting but you just know it's going to be good.

                                                           M ~ majorly adorable
                                                           U ~  undeniably grateful & loyal
                                                           T ~ totally trainable
                                                           T ~ totally unique!

Add to that list that studies have shown we have fewer health issues, that our personalities have fewer character flaws and oh yea, you are saving a life and you can clearly see... Mutts Rule!

National Mutt Day encourages us to embrace, save & celebrate mixed breed dogs twice a year, on July 31st and again on Dec. 2nd.




There's a saying I really like ~ Adopt, Don't Shop,  but I also totally understand those folks that prefer a pup with a particular, known history & lineage.  I'd just like to ask that you support Pound Puppies too in whatever way touches your heart.  Shelters are filled to the brim with mixed breed dogs that deserve a second chance.  Please consider opening your heart and home to a Mutt in need the next time you add to your family.

There's a really cool organization I especially adore called Fences for Fido.  They are an award-winning, non-profit organization that builds donor-funded fences, free of charge for families who keep their dogs on chains, tethers and in small enclosures.  In just a few short hours, you can change a dog's life forever.  You can learn more or arrange to make a contribution of your time, energy or funds at www.fencesforfido.org (They also have a page on Facebook)  However you choose to celebrate this holiday, I hope your heart is fuller for it and from the tip of my tail to the tip of my nose, I thank you.

Loves & Licks,
