Summer Update
It is hard to believe that summer is coming to an end and now we have school. 3 more days and then the house will be quiet and Marley will have only me...hopefully he won't get too bored! It has been wonderful to see Marley and the kids interact together. Playing tag, running, jumping..he LOVES their boundless energy.
On an exciting note, we had Marley's DNA tested to learn his heritage. I was like a nervous mother waiting for the results. For many of you who have Marley's sibling, this information applies to you too. 3 past generations were reviewed and results showed:
Parent 1: 3 generations 100% Maltese
Parent 2: 3 generations 100% Coton de Tulear
So what do you all think? Exciting information!! Never did I think he would have purebred parents-WOW! I can see characteristics from both breeds. (need to read more literature- just started researching) Another BIG question: Marley's mom, Angel. hmmm.....could she be parent 1 or 2? We can find out from Jami as she shares her opinion and makes the big announcement. =)
I honestly expected that DNA would show a wide variety of breeds and was surprised of these results. This new information gives our dogs an identity. It gives us a glimpse into their genetic makeup and how breed characteristics fit into shaping their unique personality.
Our family loves Marley. Everyday I thank God for him and the love that he has shown to all of us.
I will write more later. I hope everyone enjoys the Labor Day Weekend!!
