July 31: National Mutt Day

While I don't think "mutt" is a very nice word, it refers to any mixed breed dogs.

My favorite "mutt" is Roxy. I don't actually have a dog. But Roxy is as close to a dog as I have. I get to take care of her a lot and I think she likes me. She is believed to be an Australian Shepherd mix. She has a lot of attitude and is a little bit sassy. She is also super sweet and absolutely adorable. That's the way I like my dogs.

She likes to hike around Suttle Lake with my mom and I. Notice how my mom is holding Roxy's face. That's because she was displaying a little bit of her attitude and refusing to look at the camera.

The above photo is one of my all time favorites. We were on our way to the lake and obviously we were practicing our selfies. Note: I was not driving at this time. I was stopped at the gas station. Never take selfies while driving. That's dangerous.

So next time you decide to get a dog, consider adopting a so called "mutt" from your local Human Society. These dogs need homes. And maybe, you will just get lucky enough to get a Roxy.

March 23: National Puppy Day

I was surprised by how many people whom I am friends with on Facebook celebrated National Puppy Day. While I don't have a puppy or a dog, I did have the privilege of visiting a friend of mine who has two lovely dogs. So even though they weren't puppies, and I didn't adopt a puppy, I still interacted with dogs this day. Close enough for me.

Uncle Freddie thought he should be featured today also!
