Now I've been asked in the past "What kind of a dog are you?"
My usual answer to that is "A good boy," because after all it IS the truth, regardless of my people's position concerning me sitting on the couch.
Yet if you're asking what BREED of dog I am, well...
Unfortunately I don't know every branch of my family tree. I do know there is at least a little German Shepperd and Australian Sheep Herder in me.
I have no idea how that happened since I've never been to either country, let alone have ever left the United States in my lifetime.
I can tell you I'm friendly, loveable and very patient. Except when you're late with either my meals or taking me to the bathroom.
I can also tell you, especially since you humans used to breed us for specific purposes, that I am far from the only dog in the world with more than two canines in its ancestry.
For example...
Pointers and Setters have been crossbred to raise Poinsetters, which are great at Christmas time.😉
A Bloodhound and a Labrador have been mated to raise the Blabrador.
Unfortunately its pups will not stop barking and it is one dog you NEVER want to confide a secret to.
Scientists have combined the Deerhound and the Terrier to create the Derriere, a dog that's loyal and true till the end of time and great for pulling a dog sled because unless you're the lead dog, the view never changes.
The Collie and a Lhasa Apso got together to raise the Collapso, a breed that loves music from the Caribbean.
The Lhasa Apso also got together with the Pekingese to create the Pekaso, a really artistic dog.
While a talented painter, it does go through a lot of brushes thinking they're either chew sticks or treats.
But like everyday humans, whether a pure bred or mixed breed, ALL dogs are loveable and deserve kind, caring homes.
If you haven't already done so, if you can find it in your hearts and finances to befriend a canine companion, please adopt one or more today.
So on that note♫, take care.
STAY SAFE!
Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—KC.
