Thomas, the Dog of the Day
Name: Thomas
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Chihuahua rat terrier mix
Home: St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada
 
   This is Thomas, a (mostly) Chihuahua, though we think there is some rat terrier in the mix. We have had Thomas since he was six weeks old and he is certainly an important part of the family. He has a really great personality and makes friends everywhere that he goes. Because he is such a sweet boy, we have taken him on lots of trips both in a car and on an airplane. Thomas has been to Newfoundland (Canada), North Carolina, Florida, and California and the list is still growing. He really likes to travel, since he gets a chance to check out (i.e., smell) all the new places that he visits.

    Thomas is a very smart little guy who is completely committed to everything that he does. Whether he is sleeping, playing, running, hiking, or smelling the flowers in the yard - Thomas gives whatever activity he is doing 100% of his attention. Recently, since we moved to Newfoundland, he has taken up hiking. He prefers to go on more deserted trails since he can be off leash there, but he doesn't want us to get too far away from him. He likes to be able to see us at all times on the hikes. Even though Thomas loves the outdoors, you can most often find him sunning himself on his dog bed in front of the windows in the living room. This spot is also a good vantage point to watch everything going on outside, and he is always looking out the window at us when we get home from work ready to greet us with a big lick on the face.
