The Results Are In! - 03 January 2024

 As you can imagine (just look at these pictures if you have trouble), I get a lot of comments and questions about our dog, Billie, when we're walking around town. "What a beautiful dog!" "What a strange looking dog!" "What kind of dog is that?" "Is that a dog or a goat?" and on and on they go.

Well, after telling folks (pretty much at random) that she's a mutt, or a rescue, or a Canardly (as in you canaradly tell what kind of dog she is), or a Flemish Pointing Griffon, we decided it was time to get her DNA checked. 

We were really hoping there was no fainting goat in her background, and we were overjoyed to find out she came back 100% pure canis familiaris. That should put the questions to rest, I think.

Hi, Pup! - 23 March 2021 - Plague Journal Day 376

Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

Today is National Puppy Day - very appropriate, as we seem to have added a puppy to our household. I think she looks like a dog, but apparently she's "unusual" enough that some folks think she looks like a goat. Apparently, one little girl saw her and asked what kind of animal that was. I feel sorry for both of them, I guess. At any rate, due to her somewhat caprine appearance (and her all-legs bounding and jumping around the back yard!), her name is now Billie. (get it?)

Take a look and let me know what you think. Is she a dog? a goat? something else?


Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
