I've always wanted to have one of those DNA blood tests done on her to see what breeds are in her mix.

I would love to have one someday, but we have so many desperately poor, high-kill shelters in this area that I'll probably never feel comfortable adopting a breed dog. George came from one such shelter, and was due to be euthanized the week we adopted him. Ginger showed up as an older puppy on our back porch when we lived in the country; someone probably drove past and dumped her. That's a common practice in rural areas for getting rid of unwanted dogs. :( But she's turned out to be the best dog ever, so their loss!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-29364421154921113472016-09-21T10:40:19.451-04:002016-09-21T10:40:19.451-04:00She may just be humoring us.

I think I could only do it here when the moon is nearly full, otherwise I would stumble in the darkness.

So darling !<br />I hope you're falling star wishes come true.<br />And yes dogs smile and have a sense of humor.<br />I know my Scotties smile. Plus Scotties are known for their smiles and they do it all the time. I just love it. We had a Jabba cat who would go on walks with us. But he stopped at a certain point and would wait till we came back and would walk with us home.<br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-19528904382528178442016-09-20T17:12:33.801-04:002016-09-20T17:12:33.801-04:00I've much enjoyed your description of your lat...I've much enjoyed your description of your late evening walks.
