State Dog? This is a good question to ask as we have a State Rock, the Petoskey Stone. We have a State Bird, The Robin, apple blossom (flower), eastern white pine (tree), brook trout (fish), white-tailed deer (game mammal), and the Petoskey stone (gemstone). Why don’t we have a State Dog?

Meet Jett, My Rescue Pet Dog
All my life, every one of my pets has been a rescue pet, from dogs to cats, birds, and even fish. I just have a soft spot for animals.
This loveable dog came into our life as its previous owner could not handle the dog as the owner was pregnant, and the dog was always jumping up on her. It was too much for the family to control. This is when Jet became part of our family at the Screamin’ Scott Ranch.
Jett is a Lab Sheppard mix with tons of energy that we thought we could handle. Jett is about one year old, and I can’t wait for the terrible twos coming. The saying goes, ” If you have one pet you have a family. Two or more pets and you are a referee.” As of this writer’s deadline, we have three pets and are awaiting one more rescue kitty cat from a co-worker. My problem is they are all girls.
