Who is Toffee?

When she gets excited or exuberant (like just before her dinner is served), she twirls around in joyful circles like no dog I’ve ever known.
     When she’s puzzled or uncertain, she furrows her brow in a human-looking expression of confusion.
     She can smile a toothy smile.
     She’s the color of a deer – light brown with a little bit of black and bronze along her back.
      Her adoption papers said she was a “shepherd mix” but we see signs of Labrador, coon and maybe even boxer in her looks and demeanor.
     We’ve been dying to know her ancestry.
     So, over the weekend, we took steps to find out. We sent off swabs of DNA (from inside her cheek) to a veterinary lab in Nebraska to find out just who our 10-month-old Toffee really is.
     Answers should arrive in a couple of weeks.
     We’ll keep you posted.
