Cuppycake, the Dog of the Day
Name: Cuppycake
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Female Breed: Pekingese
Home: Bartlesville, Oklahoma, USA
 
   Meet Lit'l Rusty aka Cuppycake. Cuppycake was found at my sister's - we know she was dumped there. I fell in love with her the moment I laid eyes on her. After taking her to my vet and having her checked over, I was told she had a broken jaw - most likely because she had been kicked. She had an infection from the break under her chin. She was very matted, and she hadn't been groomed in months. I wasn't able to have her surgery until it was determined who her owner was - she was micro-chipped - but to make a long story short, I was sent her registration papers so she was able to have surgery, her jaw was wired for six weeks and she was spayed.

    Cuppy was very shy when she first came to live with us. She is still frightened of men, but it is getting better. She is a mommie's girl, and goes bye-bye with me as much as possible. She has a wonderful car seat that she just loves and her beanie buddie Nanook goes everywhere with her. He has lost his nose from Cuppy chewing on it, but she still loves her no-nose Nanook. She has brought us so much joy... I can't remember or imagine life without her!
