Happy Mutt Day!

July 31, 2017 By Amanda 2 Comments

Mutts DayJuly 31st is a day to celebrate mutts everywhere! Granted, we always celebrate mutts around here, but I figured I’d highlight McKenzie Rae and Khloee since they are both mixed breed dogs. And at the end, I want to hear about your mutts because let’s be honest – I love big mutts and I cannot lie!

National Mutt Day: Decoding Your Dog’s DNA with GHA!

The post is sponsored by Royal Canin. All views and opinions are my own.

When Matt and I rescued McKenzie Rae in November 2015, we thought she had to be part coyote or deer. I mean, she looks like a baby wild animal (and she acts like one…)! I guessed that she had some Whippet or Italian Greyhound in her genetic makeup. After performing a DNA test, we found out that McKenzie Rae is a Chihuahua, Labrador Retriever and Samoyed mix. Weird, eh? She’s not exactly white and fluffy, but she also has about 2-3 unknown breeds in her. Perhaps she is part coyote and we’ll never know 😉 Technology has come such a long way, and not only are DNA tests on the market but Royal Canin® now offers a Genetic Health Analysis (GHA). GHA is more than a DNA test so let’s dive a little deeper.

An Update on McKenzie Rae’s Health

December 23, 2015 By Amanda 18 Comments

McKenzie Rae

Last night I lost it.  I’ve been remaining strong since McKenzie Rae became ill on Saturday but I couldn’t hang on anymore.  I just had to cry.  As I sat on the floor next to McKenzie as she laid on the couch, I cried as I watched her struggle to open her eyes.  It was painful for me to watch but I can’t imagine how painful it was for my baby girl.

McKenzie Rae’s Unexpected Health Decline

December 21, 2015 By Amanda 21 Comments

McKenzie Rae
My baby girl is in rough shape.

When we rescued McKenzie Rae about a month ago, her health was pretty good.  In fact, it was amazing considering where she came from.  McKenzie was a stray (most likely her entire life) so who knows what she was up against on the street.  Well, after a few weeks of mild kennel cough, McKenzie Rae’s health has taken a quick turn for the worse, and I’m in a panic.
