Mona's Ancestry
The Indian Peaks have a lot of snow left on them - I'd say they were 4/5 covered with the white stuff. It's the first time I've been able to see them since Thursday. Today it's sunny and clear, with a pretty stiff breeze coming down from the mountains - we're supposed to reach the mid 70s today, and the weather guy just said that today will be the coolest day of the week. All I know is that the birds have been singing outside since 5:30 this morning, and it was a glorious walk to and from the bakery earlier.
This up-coming Saturday is my niece's birthday, and it's also the day of the Preakness at Pimlico. Other than I'll Have Another, I don't know who is running - so, once again, I'll wait until Wednesday afternoon when post positions are drawn to make my picks. Not much going on for me this week - other than walking Rosie and Remy, I have the week free to clean house, do laundry, and play with genealogy. I should have an excellent time!
I've spent a lot of time these past weeks looking at Mona, and trying to figure out her breeding - Mike was originally told that she was part pit bull. She was about 6 months old when he got her, and she had been through about 6 prior owners. She is a wonderfully trained dog (now), thanks to Mike's hard work. She is also a very possesive dog regarding her territory. She barks at me from inside the house, and inside the back yard, until she can actually touch me; then she's immediately all tail wags and bowing to invite me to play. I've been looking at recognized breeds, and I've found two that pretty well fit Mona - one is the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog; the other is a cross between a Lab and a Plott Hound. Here are two examples:

This is a Catahoula Leopard Dog
The dog on the left is half Plott hound and half Lab - and looks a lot like Mona.
