Just wondering what is a better term for a mongrel in Hokkien? When people ask what type of dog I have, I would use the word "Paxxxx" without much thought. A friend once remarked that I was being mean for using that term. Honestly it is just a slip of the tongue as I do love my dog very much, thanks.

You may find homes for all of your pet's litter. But each home you find means one less home for the dogs in shelters and rescues who need good homes.

Dead Game and Tryin' to Scratch... Give me victory or give me death, I will make history and gain your respect. Take my lesson, or take my life, Triumph is blemished in the absence of strife. I have great pride, for I am unequaled. Win, lose, or tie, there won't be a sequal. Its unexplainable and seldom viable, but I am dead game and thats undeniable...
