Designer Dogs

Eek!! Designer Dogs!!! They are pretty cool!!! My dog is a designer dog(Pug+Beagle=Puggle) Anyway, designer dogs actually started with crossing poodles(for the hypoallergenic* fur) and another dog(for the other desired characteristics). This is probably why poodle mixes are SO popular! D. dogs(Designer dogs) are identified by the portmanteau names. Portmanteau means crossing two words to get one fabulastic(haha thats one right there!!) word. Ex.- Schnauzer + Poodle = Schoodle. D. dogs are usually a combo of 2 dogs, but on occasion there is three- German Shepherd + Husky + Chow Chow = German Chusky. D. dogs can be used for jobs that other dogs cannot fulfill- suppose there is a blind man, desperately in need of a guide dog, but he is also allergic to dogs!! OH NO!! But since poodles are hypoallergenic, and Labs make GREAT guide dogs, if you bred these breeds, you would end up with a hypoallergenic guide dog!!! Now this man can have a guide dog, with out suffering from his allergies!!! Its a win-win situation! Anyway these are great dogs if you are looking to adopt a dog!!

So today I bring you THREE other sources of protein that isn't chicken! Before that however, I want to say that I make what I call "protein bowls" for lunch 95% of the time; it is basically a salad with a lot more protein! They are so delicious, low relatively low in calories, and chock full of nutrients. Sometimes I just throw a handful of spinach and some chicken in a bowl and call it lunch, if I'm running late and didn't pack it the night before. And while leafy greens are one of the best vegetables (and foods overall) to eat, there are other types of vegetables that provide essential nutrients your body needs; hence the phrase ...
