The DNA Results Were Not What I Was Expecting

The results from my dog's DNA test are in!

This photo is a result of a different kind of test Benny took.

To read about the test visit http://madelinebarr.blogspot.ca/2015/08/my-dog-benny-is-getting-his-dna-tested.html

We suspected that he was a Labrador/ Border Collie cross and speculated that he might have some Boxer in him.

To our surprise, he doesn't have any Labrador or Border Collie.

He does have Boxer.

According to http://dnamydog.com/ , Benny is:

• 37-74% Boxer
• 20-36% German Shepherd
• 10-19% Rat Terrier

Boxer (37-74%)

German Shepherd (20-36%)

Rat Terrier (10-19%)

With a little math, we can determine he is actually about 45-70% Boxer.

If he was the minimum percentage of the secondary breeds then he could be up to 70% Boxer
(100% - 20% - 10% = 70%)

If he was the maximum percentage of the secondary breeds then he could only be a low as 45% Boxer. (100% - 36% - 19% = 45%)

The one thing I know for sure is Benny is 100% lovable!

Grim Reaper Image made in Photoshop

I enjoy working with Photoshop so during my lunch hours sometime I try to teach myself something new. Based on this tutorial http://photoshoptutorials.ws/photoshop-tutorials/photo-manipulation/how-to-create-a-grim-reaper-scene-artwork-in-photoshop.html I created the image below.

Lack of Doubt Could Be Due To Lack of Talent

Author Joanne Levy had us guessing what is her biggest writing handicap. I was sure I had the correct answer with "self doubt." Even though I wasn't right, she agreed with me that she, too, has self doubt. Wait! She agreed with me. You mean, I'm not the only writer with self doubt?

@JaneFriedman tweeted about a fabulous post written by Eugene Cross about writing and if you have self doubt, you might be on the right track. I particularly liked the comparison with American Idol.
