Mona, the Dog of the Day
Name: Mona
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Boxer
Home: Wisconsin, USA
 
   Mona is an extremely happy and playful dog. She's the quintessential boxer. She loves to run, wrestle, and most of all, cuddle. She is very well behaved. She will sit and stay until you tell her she can go. She can shake paws and roll over as well. Mona loves to tear up cardboard boxes, rip apart stuffed toys to find the squeaker within, and play tug-o-war with her rope. She is a 60 pound lap dog and if you sit on the ground cross-legged, she will do her best to curl up in your lap like she did when she was a tiny pup.

    Mona loves children and people in general, but she is a very skittish, wary dog when it comes to adult strangers. She's quite protective of us. She will bark at just about anyone or anything that crosses our path, but her "bark" isn't so much a bark but a low growl followed by a "boof" sound. I think it is a sound unique to Mona, and not very threatening at that. But it doesn't take her long to warm up to people. Soon after first meeting them she is kidney bean dancing around them like crazy, giving kisses non-stop!

    We feel very fortunate to have Mona in our lives. She makes us laugh every day, and her love for us is boundless and completely obvious in every way. You can see it in her big guileless brown eyes. And we look forward to taking care of her and loving her to pieces for many years to come!
