Sports and Sheena, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sports, Sheena
Age: Ten, Eleven years old
Gender: Male, Female
Breed: Miniature Schnauzer, Greyhound Mix
Home: Alexandria, Virginia, USA
 
   This is a picture of Sports and his girlfriend of six years, Sheena informing Santa of their wishes for this year. (Sheena hoped for peace on earth and Sports asked for thick T-bone steak.) They are wonderful little friends who light up our lives and make our family complete.

    Even though they are a year apart, we got both of them at nine-weeks old. Sheena is "scary-smart" sometimes. She knows when we've ordered out for pizza and waits for the delivery (she doesn't do that after any other phone calls.) She loves to exercise and still runs like the wind. She doesn't have time for other dogs at all but loves people.

    Sports, on the other hand, has slowed down a little, but still has that protective (and adorable) terrier attitude. He loves dogs, cats, people, but especially food. He is very protective of his owner but genuinely likes most people and other dogs. He is also fearless and will defend himself against others who are much larger and more powerful than he is. He's very playful and always dominant with other animals, except when around Sheena. Then she's the boss (and it's been that way since day one.) They were both unwanted giveaways and we feel privileged that they were able to make our house their home.
