Monday Mischief: You Mean... She's Not Mexican?
So, the mischief this time around was all on my part... I teased with you Rita's Wisdom Panel DNA test results last week and made you wait until today to find out what she is.
I mentioned that we had guessed a combo of GSD/beagle/terrier. Well, two outta three ain't bad.

Monday Mischief: Sleepover & DNA Test Results Mischief
We're back from our vacation and blogging break! (Pics of vaca coming on Wednesday!) But before we went away, we had a sleepover guest - Reggie!
It was his first time spending the night, and there were a couple of mischief moments, like when he stole Rita's usual spot on the sofa!

Why To DNA-Test Your Dog
We've gone back and forth for a while now - well, years really - on DNA testing our pups. Back when we first started looking into it, there weren't that many breeds in the database, and we just decided to skip it.
Well, then I got the opportunity to talk to some folks about the Wisdom Panel 2.0 Breed Identification test kit. They were in San Diego attending a local event as part of a "Swab-a-thon" tour to test shelter dogs and help provide some info about their breed makeup to help match them to their furever homes. Isn't that a great idea?
I couldn't make the event, but they still sent me a home test kit to try out, and set up a phone interview with Harrison Forbes, who is a celebrity pet expert and dog trainer. (Check out his site - you might recognize him from appearances on Today or The View.)
Here are some of the questions and answers we discussed on the phone.
