Victory! and Reddick's Big Reveal

Just in case you aren't my Facebook friend, fan or Twitter follower, I'm pretty excited about last night's victory. I love my G-MEN!!!


But, I won't get into too much detail about how exciting yesterday was because I've got enough on my plate blog-wise as it is. Eats, Love, Happiness and Football? Maybe someday.

In puppy news, we got a really interesting e-mail yesterday. I'm not sure if I've told you or not, but when we adopted Reddick he was also with his brother. When we left the adoption site with Reddick in hands his brother was left behind and I was pretty devastated. I felt awful about not being able to adopt both of them. So of course, I did the second best thing and practically stalked the adoption agency to make sure that his brother, "Alex", was adopted. They were great and put me in touch with the new owners and we've stayed in touch every since. Sadly, the dogs haven't gotten together yet, but hopefully someday.

Anyways, Reddick's brother's new name is Santino, and Santino's owner contacted me yesterday to tell me that they caved and bought a DNA test to determine our pups breed.  (This dog looks EXACTLY like Reddick, they are twins.) She mentioned that they paid for one of the cheaper tests and I think the results showed that. Wait until you see what Reddick's heritage might be...

Any guesses?

In case you forgot his cute little face, here's our puppy:



We were told he's a Boxer/Shepard mix and would grow to be about 45-50 pounds. He's 75 pounds.

Here's a Boxer...


They are both pretty top heavy...but we have always guessed he's a little Rottweiler, too.


But...we're all wrong. Here is what the test results revealed:



Chow Chow and Keeshond. 

SERIOUSLY?! Did they get the test results mixed up? This is nuts.

I'm really happy that they went through and ordered the test because now I know never to buy one. Ever. 

I'll go with my gut and just say that Reddick is healthy, happy and perfect (most of the time).
