"Errrr-er-er-er-errrrrrrrrrrrr!" crowed Milford, "There's a dog in the pasture...
everyone RUN!!!"
O'Malley: "That's just Annie, Milford...she's not a dog, she's a puppy."
Andy: "A puppy...yes...and a mildly annoying one at that!"
Missy: "I think she just wants to play. She's kind of cute... and she never barks at us."
Milford continued running around the goat houses...
sounding the alarm.
Jill stood up from where she had been resting in the pasture.
"I'll take care of this. Leave that pesky puppy to me," she said.
Annie is approaching one year of age.
She has grown considerably since she first came to the farm.
Now, for the big question....
what combination of breeds is Annie?
We are having a family contest to guess her breeds as part of our Christmas celebration.
Each participant will give $5 with their entry.
Anyone who correctly guesses all of the breeds in her genetic test
(we sent a DNA sample for analysis)
will win the jackpot.
If no one guesses correctly, the prize money will be donated to the shelter from where she came.
So.....
what breeds do you think make up our sweet Annie?
