Lady Weatherby, the Dog of the Day
Name: Lady Weatherby
Age: One year old
Gender: Female Breed: Yellow Laborador Retriever
Home: Dixon, California, USA
 
   My husband is an avid duck hunter and would take our Black Lab, Remington, with him, leaving me lonely. So, last year I hinted for a lap dog. Well, Weatherby was my Christmas surprise. She and her "sis" are named after guns, being the hunting dogs they are. Remington wasn't too sure about this little yellow ball of fluff coming into our home, and would growl at her at night so Weatherby began to share our bed, which I might add she still does a year later and 75 pounds for the better. She figured out that the mom has an electric blanket on her side of the bed so she insists on sleeping very close, usually hogging the whole side and making the mom and dad hang off the edges. When it's time for the dad to get up, I ask her "where is the dad?" and she bolts through the bedroom door and wakes him with lots of kisses, she especially likes to lick his ears. I couldn't have asked for a more lovable personality in my dog and companion. She is my Dog of the Day every day.
