Well I love having mutts in the house and I am 100% naming my next mutt DJ. Here is my current mutt.
Daniss Jenkins on the Pistons having DAWGS on this team. “We all nasty dawgs, nasty boys, whatever you wanna call it — that’s us. A bunch of mutts. You don’t want mutts in your house, do you? We nasty boys, that’s what we are.”
