Dr. Brown's Cream Soda, the Dog of the Day
Name: Dr. Brown's Cream Soda
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Pembroke Welsh corgi
Home: Manhattan, New York, USA
 
   His name is "Dr. Brown's Cream Soda" or DB for short. He is now nine years old. We live in Manhattan, New York, USA and he is special because
  1. He smiles and smiles,
  2. He licks and licks,
  3. He goes back to smiling!
    And when he is not doing the above... he enjoys visiting nursing homes to meet new friends, he enjoys the attention... licking any hand offered to him. And he seems to have a permanent smile on his face, which makes him appear quite friendly. The only problem was that given his legs, when he was on the floor, most of the patients were unable to reach him from their wheelchairs. So, we bought him his very own set of wheels - a classic red Radio Flyer wagon with wooden side panels. He just goes along for the ride! It brings him up to a nice level, where everyone can see him, and pet him if they want to...

    He also enjoys biting at any source of a stream of water, getting his tummy rubbed, and playing tug-of-war!

    When I bought him from a typical pet store (the conditions were pretty poor... he was very small, with kennel cough and the rest... in fact, the vet we took him to for his first visit was dismayed, and felt he should never have been sold in the first place..), it was unclear if he would end up a cream color, or more brown... ...thus, we gave him the name, "Dr Brown's Cream Soda" just to be covered... (of course, he ended up red!) We never registered him so the name is only official in our hearts...

    Not only is he my first corgi, but also my first dog... and what a surprise he has turned out to be... A big dog personality in a tiny little package...
