Tess, the Dog of the Day
Name: Tess
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Black Labrador Retriever
Home: Renfrewshire, Scotland
 
   This is Tess. She is a three-year-old black Labrador Retriever, and she lives in Scotland. Tess comes from a long line of champion gun dogs, but she is not a trained gun dog, she is a much loved family pet.

    Tess is a clever little dog, who knows exactly how to manipulate her human "parents" and keep them constantly on their toes, catering to her every whim. Whatever they are doing, they will jump up to let her out, or in, and when she appears with her ball in her mouth, they kow that now they must (despite their fairly advanced age) run around the lawn, playing Tess' favorite ball game. That game is called "I (Tess) grab the ball and run and you catch me if you can, but I'll never let you have the ball!"

    Tess will sometimes eat greedily, but sometimes not at all, making her "mom" frantic with worry, so she will offer her one delicacy after the other. Tess knows to wait, as there might be something even better coming. But Tess is also a very lovable, and playful companion, and every day with her is a joy. See Tess at her own website.
