Sooty, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sooty
Age: Eleven months old
Gender: Female Breed: Mini Poodle, Jack Russell mix
Home: Ipswich, Queensland, Australia
 
   This is Sooty. She is a very pretty dog and should be in show business. Sooty has the longest eye lashes I have ever seen, and a white star on her chest which indicates she should be a star. She is selectively intelligent and obedient - in other words she is very feisty and will avoid being told what to do where possible. She beats up on Sparky and bosses her around. She has definitely not been an easy dog to have, as she is a barker and still not totally house-trained. However she is very affectionate, if only she wouldn't jump up and nip me on the bottom when I come home from work. I had to resort to dog obedience training to teach her that I am the Alpha dog, not her... I recommend it for any dog as it has made a great difference... she nearly always stops killing Sparky now when I yell at her to stop. I give Sooty a dog biscuit each morning but instead of eating it she runs outside and buries it, which is very funny to watch, however not so funny when she buries it in my plants. Sometimes I find strange things buried under pillows and cushions in the house. Having two dogs is great because you never feel guilty when you have to go out, as they can keep each other company.
