[Doodlebug]

Years ago i had a poodle/pug mix named Misty. She was from an "oops" litter when two neighbors dogs met. She was a scraggly looking little thing with one ear up and one ear down. She had a really thin coat of blond hair. And boy that dog could jump, like a cat. She ate canned dog food called Strongheart from the grocery store all her life. It would always be on sale 10 cans for $1.00. I shudder to think of what might have been in that can. She was never sick a day in her life until she was old and eventually went blind and incontinent. I don't even remember her being stiff with arthritis. She was the best dog, she never barked and learned quickly. Once she even fell from a second story balcony and when I looked over expecting to see her dead body, she was walking around in the grass unphased. I don't know how that dog lived to be 20 on that dog food but she did.
