You Just Won't Believe It!

Mitch and I finally finished reading "What Dog Are You" and our test scores are in and we know which dog breed's bodies we're supposed to be in!

You're not going to believe this! I'm a Toy American Eskimo dog! No offense to the Eskies but this dog looks nothing like me! He's not even close to the same color I am!

The book calls me a Gem and this is what it says about Gems: If you're honest I'm sure you'll even admit that on occassion a muzzle might have come in handy! Good or bad Gems never have a problem letting you know what's on their mind. You're always enjoyable........even sarcasm is barked in a pleasant tone. The worst situation for you is to be chained to a stake, socially isolated and all alone!

You tend to like the trendy, diamond studded collars in life and don't mind shelling out the biscuits to buy them. Your not a show off though, and gladly let your friends play with your new toys. Always friendly, you're the first to show appreciation and nuzzle you friends and family.

After a hard days work, you can be very rambunctious and silly, almost to the extreme. You might even be willing to call in sick at work just to keep a party going. A Gems idea of enjoying life is to have every waking moment spent and cherished with family and friends. Even when you're taking a vacation the destination would be of no consequence, as long as your circle of friends and family were there.

Gems can be picked out of a crowd by their relaxed and fun nature, and would gladly meet your gaze with a smile. You might be an entrepreneur, a member of the local drama club or do volunteer work.

hummmmmmmmm - Well, yes, this does sound an awful lot like me, I do have to admit!


Guess whose body Mitch is supposed to take on? A Chesapeake Bay Retriever! A little bit closer but still no cigar!

The book says that Mitch is a Contender! Contenders are yappy, and have a well-rounded, cooperative personality. You don't need a large pack of friends, but cherish you few long-standing ones. You are able to understand and learn new things fast, and able to make quick decisions based on pure instinct.

You like your digs comfortable, and have a real thirst for the latest high tech toys. You try and keep pace with the people and environment around you. At work and at home you give one hundred percent, and wouldn't want it any other way.

If your down time is not structured you have a tendency to endlessly play fetch. Plan ahead, but don't end up stuck in the doghouse. Not wanting to miss any oopportunity to live life to the fullest, you are always active and on the go. A perfect weekend or vacation would be to a tropical all-inclusive resort.

Mitch loves tug on his down time, not fetch, but the rest of it is pretty accurate!


We really enjoyed reading this book and taking the quiz! If anyone else would like to read the book, let us know and we'll ship it to you! Maybe we can keep it going all over the world so that everyone gets a chance to read it and tell us which breed's body they're supposed to live in!

We received the gold paw award from our buddy Charlie! Thank you so much, Charlie! We are honored!

We would like to pass this award onto Amber-Mae!


And Noah gave us Rusty's Best Bud Award! What a cute award! Thank you so much, Noah! We would like to pass this award onto Huskee! We've been best buds with Huskee for a very long time!So until next time.............

Love ya lots,

Maggie and Mitch

  6. Guess what... Mommy had an American Eskimo, Snowball, after her first dog, a Yorkie-Maltese mix. Then after Snowball she got the infamous Oliver. But she really liked Snowball! He was a ball of energy!!!!!!!!

  7. Tee hee Don't those silly book people know that an Airedale is a little bit of every dog? That is why you tested so good. We would love to try that book out and pass it on! Sounds like fun.

    !Send the book to mommy and I will have mommy send me to your house! Fair trade I think. Then you can see what blacks are like. And mommy can see what kind of dog I seem like. hahahahaha Do you think she would go for it?

    Smooches to you all,
    Willow

  8. I agree that you're a gem....the kind that shines really pretty and everyone wants to wear, sort of a diamond in the rough.

    Sounds like a fun book to read.

    Have a good weekend now!

  16. Maggie, you're going to have a really hard time fitting into an Eskie costume! We are sure Mitchy can't possibly be as yappy as Penny! We haven't done our quiz from the book yet. Maybe later today...or tomorrow. We hope they put Airedales in their next edition! Congrats on your awards!

    Aire-hugs,
    Poppy, Penny & Patches

    Hector-Farley is the cutest dog/wheelie ever!! Autumn must be beside herself to have a friend like him around to share her garden tours...BTW, what does Autumn do during the long northest winter to entertain herself? That Wheelie needs a summer place in Florida with Jake or Bussie!! The leaves are startin' around here...we know winter is comin'!!

  20. Maggsie & MitchMan!

    Congratulations on the awards, and on finding out, finally, what kind of dogs you REALLY are. So, are you two turning in your saddle backs for your true coats? (I hope not).

    With that beard, Maggs, you couldn't be anything other than a DALEgirl!

    Goober love & smooches,
    Stanley

  28. I have a hard time seeing you as anything but Airedales!! We won that book too and mom hasn't done it yet. When we do get to it, we can also post our results. But, I thought your humans were sposed to see what kind of dogs they were too!?

    Congratulations on your awards!

  29. Maggie,
    Mom says she is very happy the book said you were an Eskimo dog, too because it said she was one and she so doesn't think she's an eskimo dog. I'm going to post our results next week results next week. Mom and Dad did their quizes and now me, Sasha and Gunnar are going to do ours this weekend.

  30. I'm thinking that book may be wrong - 'cause you're both 'dales, even I can see that :-)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hey Dales, you still lookk like my Aire Dale cousins thank dog, the book must have it all wrong. I've been reading all the posts I missed. WoW! What a lot has happebed! The barn looks handsome and was wagging exciting to see it being put up. Your Dad is very clever and Mom too making the floor all shiny.Now I wonder if the barn is goig to be painted in the same red as the photo on your bloggie? And Hector looks like a nice stuffie, good enough to eat like the minty ice cream, he,he!!

    Wiry wags, Eric x

    Congratulations on both awards. You deserve them.

    Love -

  37. Momma says that book is bogus. It told her she was an American Eskimo Dog. No way! I'm afraid to take it. Mitch, a retriever? Not even close.
