Boomer, the Dog of the Day
Name: Boomer
Age: Four months old
Gender: Male Breed: Shepherd, Husky mix
Home: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
 
   This is Boomer. He is four months old and is a Shepherd Husky cross. He is very playful and is quite a little jokester. He loves to sing in the woods, howling to all the other animals who live there. He is madly in love with his girlfriend Tula, another Husky who lives with him. He is a magical little boy who has brought laughter and love into my life.

    He is very affectionate and all you have to do to win his heart is pick him up in your arms and place him on his back so that he can stare at you with his soulful amber eyes. Boomer loves to be with his mommy and follows her around every room in the house. He has mastered both sit and down, but likes to ignore come, especially when his hikes in the woods are close to being finished. His favorite times are when he is walking in the coastal rain forests around Vancouver, BC where he lives. He is very spoiled, as some days he spends his mornings frolicking at Kits Beach with all the other dogs, and his afternoons hiking in the snow on the North Shore Mountains.

    Boomer likes to play games with his people friends. He loves to "steal" things from them and run around the neighborhood prancing like a thoroughbred. He thinks this is quite hilarious. His Mom hopes to train him as an avalanche dog when he grows up. He has already been for a ride on the ski lifts and the skidoo at his mommy's work. The chair lift ride was fun but the skidoo ride was scary and he wrapped both his little paws around the driver's arm soooo tight that the driver fell in love with him. However, games of fetch and recall haven't quite been mastered yet, so there is still much work to do.
