Because Every Dog Has Its Day…
Happy Mutts Day!
July 31 has been designated as Mutt’s Day… because every dog has its day. Mutt’s Day is the celebration of companionship, loyalty and love of a canine even though it doesnt have papers or a fancy pedigree.
We all watch the Crufts or Westminster Dog shows on tv. The gorgeous carefully breed and groomed dogs gliding through the ring making their owners and sponsors proud. Then we look over and see our own dog, the one we picked up from a local shelter, got from the paper “free to good home” or found wandering the streets because their owner dropped them off in the middle of no where under the cover of darkness. The Mutt. Our dog is sprawled out on the floor, legs spread and in the air and snoring loud enough to drown out a Boeing 747 ramping up for take off. Not very dignified like those Westminster dogs…
But that mutt is our constant companion. The one we tell our secrets to, share our good times and bad. The one that hangs on every word we say and thinks we hang the moon and stars. Our best friend.
Moxie is a beautiful 9 year old Border Collie/Australian Cattle Dog
We are celebrating today with Moxie, a 9 year old Border Collie/Australian Cattle Dog. She is the winner of a photo contest I sponsored on my favorite forum www.Ruffdogs.co.uk. We put out a call for all “mutts” on the board to post pictures and the forum members voted to decide who would be crowned Mutt Day queen or king. Our Buddy Moxie was the resounding winner of a feature spot on my blog and a $20 Petsmart Gift Card. You can read more about Moxie on her Blog – A Dog About Town.
I’m a mutt and proud of it!
Cheers
Charlie

Rachael – congratulations to Moxie!! She is quite the queen of the mutts! We all send big hugs and licks your way. And thank you for allowing me to feature her.
Happy Mutts Day!
Happy “Dignified” Mutts Day Amiga!
Moxie is a beautiful dog. Thanks for recognizing mutts. I love it when someone who owns all purebreds still appreciates the mixed-breed dogs just as much. I love all dogs, too.

Thanks for the lovely comment Lindsay. I am like you, I love all dogs regardless of size, shape, color or lineage. Just don’t care much for ill tempered ones – blueblood or not.
