I totally understand that. I'm just saying because most people are mixed where I'm from, half breeds, mixed breeds, mutts...saying those terms are the norm. In Hawaii we have one more -- "poi dog". Kinda similar to mutt.

I know that if I were to use the term anywhere else it won't be welcomed at all. I'm aware of that. It's not a word I'd use everyday.

But in this case it was appropriate. I mean, look at Cindy. She definitely looked like an animal.
