Gretchen, the Dog of the Day
Name: Gretchen
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Female Breed: Dachshund
Home: Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA
 
   She might have short legs, but boy you should see them go! Gretchen accompanies her Mom and Dad in the mornings when they go for their power walks. She even tugs on the leash with her teeth if they're not moving fast enough for her! She has participated in charity 3K walk/runs, but has a hard time sticking to walking when she sees others running - she likes to be in the lead and tries to get in front of everybody! She loves to be the center of attention when company comes over, and if she sees anyone eating without her, she'll perform her tricks to try to get a nibble. Sometimes she forgets she's a dog and sits on the back of the sofa, or she'll use her short little paws to clean her face like her sister Cali, the calico cat does. She's spoiled rotten and dearly loved by her family.
