Hi,

I have not posted a lot in the past year or so, but I wanted to share a little bit of silly joy I've had lately.  I'm a little stoopid and struggle with uploading images (which I will succeed at hopefully tomorrow), but I wanted to share results from the DNA test from our sweet Joe who we adopted as a puppy in January of 2017 after we lost MySweetTed to this terrible cancer in 2016.  All along we thought he was a black lab mix since he looked like it and the Humane Society listed the puppies as black lab/shar pei mix - which sucked me in because we were told that Ted was part Shar pei from the rescue group we adopted him from and well, I loved his mix (whatever it really was) and I loved him - tremendously...  ANYWAY.  Our Black Lab looking pup has NO Lab in his DNA.  He turns out to be 50% Rottweiler (Michelle!!) - purebred Rottie on one entire side of his family tree - and 25% Cane Corso (Like I kept telling my family....he's so BLACK that there had to be a breed like that in there), 18% American Staffordshire Terrier (Pitbull - which we thought would be much higher because he has such a huge head..and we love the breed), and ~7% Chow Chow.... that explains that one puppy of the eight who looked like he might have german shepherd genes. 🙂   I feel like I understand him so much more now that I know what his breeds are.  He is lazy, he is sweet, he chases his tail a lot, and he is such a loving, cuddly dog.  Oh, and he drools a lot! Silly Fool.  I honestly thought Great Dane was in his genes because he looks and reminds me so, so  much of Christine's Otis....from the pictures I've seen he is kind of a doppleganger!  Fingers crossed that I succeed in uploading pics.

I hope everyone seeing this is doing well and your pups are too.
