Happy National Mutt Day!
Today is National Mutt Day! I'd like to dedicate this blog post to my family dog/my parent's dog Fern Louise.
We got Fern Louise at one of those huge Pet Adoption Fairs that I found on Pet Finder in 2010. It was in a mall parking lot. My parents and I had lost the second of our two greyhounds a few months before and my mom and I were missing having a dog. My dad wanted to wait until we made the move from New Jersey to South Carolina but I didn't want to wait that long. The house just wasn't a home without a dog!
My mom and convinced my dad to take us and there we found a scared and sad looking terrier mix, sitting like a bowling pin in her chain link enclosure. Her shelter name was Mustang Sally, she was estimated at 10 months old, and she was rescued by the group who had her from a kill shelter in Georgia. It was the second day of the adoption fair and we were told someone was going to adopt her the previous day but pulled out.
We became that scared little dog's Furrrr-ever Family. My mom liked the name Fern Louise, which she had gotten out of a book she had once read, 1000 White Women.
Fern came with her fair share of baggage. She can feel a storm coming hours before it hits, she's terrified of loud noises (gun shots, fire works, thunder), she's dog aggressive with dogs she doesn't know. Despite that, she has friends- my riding instructor's 3 dogs (a Boston, a Carolina Ditch Dog [mutt], and a Golden), another friend's Lab, and not to be forgotten, Olivia. She loves to play and wrestle and frolic with Olivia for hours- but we did have to be careful with introducing them.
Fern is a good dog, a sweet dog, and my family is happy to call Fern ours.

Olivia Goes to The Horse Show
So I'm currently in the process (or my dad is at least) of trying to sell my horse. He and I just couldn't work things out and didn't end up getting along. He's at a horse show in town this week with a horse broker and my parents, Olivia, and I went to watch. It was super hot and a little bit miserable out, but i had fun getting to hang out with my cute little doggie :)

Olivia Loves Her Friends
My riding instructor has three dogs (one of which is an adult Boston) that she brings with her when she comes to give me my riding lessons. Olivia loves playing with them, especially Princess (the Boston). I was able to snap these pix of them playing together yesterday and it just makes me laugh! How anyone can't enjoy animals is beyond me.
