Webster, the Dog of the Day
Name: Webster
Age: Six years old
Gender: Male Breed: Black Lab, Golden Retriever
Home: Linthicum Heights, Maryland, USA
 
   Hello, my name is Webster. I was brought to a shelter because I got "too big." My Mom started walking me at the shelter every week and we became fast friends. Before I knew it, I had a new home with her and my two "brothers". I like living in a house with three dogs. There's always someone to play with. I am your basic lap dog and all around couch potato. I like nothing better than to sit with my back to my Mom and then flop backwards onto her lap. She will hold me like a baby and scratch my chest which makes me very happy (although I have heard her complain that 70 pounds is a little much for a lap dog). I think it's just right, as I don't leave an inch of lap unused.

    I love to eat and to lap nap. I know a lot of food related words. I know "hungry," "snack," "dinner," "delicious," "biscuit," "treat," and "cheeseburger". I will come running when I hear any one of these words, although I think it frustrates my Mom that I won't come when my own name is called. I like to have only the freshest water when I drink, so I only drink out of the bathtub faucet (Mom is regretting the day she thought it would be cute to show me that little trick) and I will stand for a very long time in the bathroom waiting for Mom to turn on the faucet. Sometimes it takes her a while to notice me, but if she takes too long, I'll give her a little bark to let her know I'm waiting.

    I am very snugly and my Mom doesn't mind when I fall asleep in her lap. I'm glad we found each other.
