Tess is a ten-year old Siberian husky, samoyed, wolf , chow chow, and border collie mix –what a mix that is! She is a herder and tries to keep all her humans close together and in a group. Tess loves playing in the snow, barking at me to get out of the water when I’m swimming, running with her owner when he snowboards and mountain bikes, destroying squeaky toys, and occasionally sharing an ice cream cone or popsicle with her humans.
Little Tess lives in Vermont with Dean and is also kept company by Dean’s daughter, Phoebe.
There’s something wrong with a world that not only allows convicted dog fighters to get their old lives back, but actually rewards the person with a contract for a new reality tv show. Officials still haven’t said how much he is earning, but it’s easy to assume he’s making a few million dollars for the deal.
“People who abuse animals don’t deserve to be rewarded,” said PETA spokesman Dan Shannon. “They shouldn’t be given multimillion-dollar contracts . . . or given the privilege of being a role model.”

As we’ve said before on Muttskis, we love all mutts and mixes, even if they happen to not be mixed at all. With that in mind, say hi to Duke, a lovable Akita adopted from the Midwest Akita Rescue Society by Connie.
An Eagles fan who, like most of the world, hates Michael Vick was told he had to wear a shirt displaying an anti-Vick message inside out if he wanted to attend the game.
“Not only has (Eagles owner) Jeffrey Lurie and the Eagles organization supported a dog murderer by signing this convict,” she said, “but now they want to take away my freedom of speech just because I don’t agree with them?”
This is sickening. I can’t agree more with her, it’s bad enough to have signed Vick, but to try to silence protests against that fact is just terrible.
