This is our dog Mississippi. We brought her home from the Portland Oregon Humane Society<\/a> on April 6th 2009.
\nWe’re going to celebrate her birthdays on April 6th every year since we don’t know what her real birthday is. She was listed as a 1 year old Border Collie\/Labrador mix. She’s about 39 pounds but she tugs like an 80 pounder. To say she is full of energy would be an understatement. She’s been a handful to train and keep out of trouble but we love her dearly. She lives with my husband and I in the Sellwood neighborhood of Portland Oregon. She likes squirrels, sticks, stealing our shoes, and destroying my vegetable garden.<\/p>\n

I write about our trials and tribulations in my Doggy Chronicles blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Keeping Mississippi happy would not be possible without the support and terrific services by the following:<\/p>\n

Rockin’ Roxy’s<\/a> – Fantastic doggy day care and boarding. In the Sellwood\/Moreland neighborhood of Portland.
\nSellwood Grooming and U Wash<\/a> – Best nail trimmers around.
\nSellwood Dog Supply<\/a> – for keeping us stocked up on cool toys, healthy food and treats.
\nPawsitively Pawssible Dog Training<\/a> – For introducing us to clicker training and getting her started with a great foundation plus some cool tricks.
\nOregon Humane Society<\/a> – For giving us the best dog ever.<\/p>\n

We believe the path to a happy dog is in fun training, healthy food, and lots and lots of love. If you are thinking of adopting a dog from the Humane Society, or have already, please read my doggy blog<\/a> and leave comments if you have anything you’d like to share. This first three months with Mississippi has been a challenging road but with support and patience from friends and kind strangers, we’ve come a long way. I hope our journey can help others out there in similar circumstances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
