The MUTT
Although my blog consists of observations of this and that from a former mutt (me), it occurred to me that I should include mixed-breed information from time to time. Ergo (how's that I said ergo! bol!) the subject of today's blog:
A Word is a word is a word: There is a profusion of words and phrases used to describe dogs that are not designated as a purebred or pedigreed dog. The words cur, tyke, mutt, and mongrel are used, sometimes in a derogatory manner. Mutt is also commonly used (in the U.S.A and Canada), often in an affectionate manner and that is exactly how we think about them - affectionately. Humorous terms are also common. Heinz 57, Heinz, or Heinz Hound is often used for dogs of uncertain ancestry, in a playful reference to the "57 Varieties" slogan of the H. J. Heinz Company.

Have You Put Your Pet Emergency Medical Kit Together
Make Yourself a Serious Pet Medical Emergency Kit
It's time to do it and this article from the blog Travels With My Dog is a good one because it lists all of the items you need for most emergencies. I have one for Reba From WagN Enterprises that comes complete in a canvass bag that attaches to just about anything. Comes in 2 sizes and it's great for those hikes, in the car as well as at home. The May Day Pet First Aid Kit is convenient and ready to go.
