Teeny, the Dog of the Day
Name: Teeny
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Rat Terrier
Home: Pasadena, California, USA
 
   I was rescued from a petshop in Pittsburgh, PA. Pittsburgh is where my mama went to graduate school. We just recently moved to Pasadena, CA because my mama graduated and got a post-doc here. I like Pasadena much better than Pittsburgh because it's sooo much warmer!!! Plus, they have neat places to go to like the 3 Dog Bakery. My mama takes me there and dresses me in cute costumes at the bakery (like the one in the picture) and buys me yummy cookies. Sometimes my mom is dense and I have to try hard to communicate with her... One time, I accidentally splashed my water dish in the evening and I didn't have any water... It was late and my mom didn't notice my bowl was empty. She went to bed and boy was I thirsty!! So I woke her up in the middle of the night and tried to send "I need water" thoughts into her head but she just didn't get it, so I scratched on the door and led her outside to the swimming pool in the back yard and pointed to the water with my nose and looked at her. She put 2 and 2 together (bless her heart, she is rather slow but when she catches on, it's lovely) and realized that I was thirsty. Humans!!! You just have to be patient with this species, that's for sure!!!
