Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

There has been a mad rush of late to see how many different dogs we can breed together. And by "we", we mean crazy dog people who have nothing better to do than sit around and wonder what a Pomeranian and a Chihuahua would be called (a Pomchi). Or what about a Saint Bernard and a Poodle? A Saint Berdoodle (that could have ended badly). A few of our other favorites:

Schnoodle - A Schnauzer and a Poodle
Puggle - A Pug and a Beagle
Cockapoo - A Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle

Extra credit? Comment in on your favorite and for an extra 20 points, what's a Doodleman Pinscher?
