Short Order Puppies

Okay, this is just weird.

Of course, I’ve always preferred mutts to pure-breds. Buttons, the family dog when I was growing up, was the sweetest doggie in all the wide world, and she was part poodle … and the rest, we’re not real sure about. Bubba is half Yorkshire terrier and half Maltese, and while he can get in trouble from time to time, he’s still a lovable lump of lard and fluff. [My evil plan to kidnap him the next time I'm home in Tennessee will probably cause my mother to write me out of the family will.]

But ordering your dogs? I guess I’m just a pound person, myself. Of course, Bubba came from a breeder who cross-bred her dogs every few litters just to keep things interesting. A Yorkie would piss me off, and a Maltese would be a useless flufflump, but Bubba, he’s damn cool.

Of course, reading that story makes me want to get a dog, but why? I’ve got Nanook and Dakota and Hayden to play with.
