<span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">I SWEAR to you on all things sacred in my life (including Little Miss B) that this is NOT an April Fool's joke.</span></strong></span>

&nbsp;

I felt a lot of pressure to whip out some sort of stellar April Fool's joke for you today, but I just couldn't seem to get it together.

&nbsp;

And then I thought, why am I sweating over this?  I don't NEED an April Fool's Joke!  I have Bella's Doggie DNA test results, and NOTHING could top this joke!

&nbsp;

<a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/02/24/day-149-doggie-dna-test-yes-ive-lost-my-mind/" target="_blank"><strong>You may recall that on Day 149 I temporarily lost my sanity and dished out 70 buckaroos + tax for a Doggie DNA test.</strong></a> I'm not sure if I was brave enough to share the expenditure with you back then, but I'm coming clean now.

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #008000; font-size: medium;"><strong>This is what people without human kids do.  We overindulge our pets.  (And our own insatiable canine curiosity, in this instance.)</strong></span>

&nbsp;

Bella is most obviously the Poster Child for "Wire-Haired Terrier Mix".

&nbsp;

She also moonlights as the Poster Child for "Cutest Dog You Will Ever See In Your Life".  It's true.  Total strangers stop and coo over Little Miss B.  Everyone's first question (after the "She is adorable!" declaration):

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: medium; color: #008000;"><strong>"What kind of dog is she?"</strong></span>

&nbsp;

I've been told by People in the Know (<strong><a href="http://www.mixedupmutts.net/adopt.html" target="_blank">Mixed-Up Mutts Rescue</a></strong> and her vets) that she is a "wire-haired terrier mix".

&nbsp;

<strong><a href="http://www.wisdompanel.com/" target="_blank">Wisdom Panel/Mars Veterinary</a></strong>, the makers of the Doggie DNA Test, have shared Bella's results with me.  Before the reveal...

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: medium; color: #008000;"><strong>Let's play a little game.</strong></span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: medium; color: #008000;"><strong>Which of the breeds below do you think match Bella's gene pool?  You may pick up to three.</strong></span>

Was her biological mother a Yorkie?

Perhaps she has a touch of wire-haired Jack Russell Terrier in her lineage?

&nbsp;

Or...she was found in the streets of Yuma which is very close to Mexico.  Chihuahua?

Could my 10 pound peanut have Neapolitan Mastiff in her DNA?

<span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Mars Veterinary, it may be April 1st, but I am no fool.</span></strong></span>

&nbsp;

And you are no scientific organization.  Nor are your tests in any way, shape, or form "authentic".  I want my money back.  Now.

&nbsp;

Dear Readers, what do you think?  Hmmmm???

&nbsp;

Is this a scam?  Should Mars Veterinary kindly refund my money?
