Peanut, the Dog of the Day
Name: Peanut
Age: Thirteen years old
Gender: Male Breed: Dog
Home: Walling, Tennessee, USA
 
   I have the most darling dog and his name is Peanut. I found him in a ditch in Indiana in 1997 which makes him approximately thirteen years old. He was just a tiny little thing and nearly frozen in ten-degree weather. I wrapped him up, took him home and he has been with me ever since. The vet said he has the head of a Chihuahua and the body of a Jack Russell, and of course his distinguishing feature, ears like a jackal.

    He is a nine-pound bundle of love. He has a wonderful disposition. He loves everyone he meets and everyone loves him.

    He has an affection for small stuffed animals which I buy for him once in a while and he gets so excited when he gets one. He never tears them up, but will take them to bed with us at night. They all get a turn. He snuggles with them. If I call them his toys, he just looks at me as if to say "what did you call them?" But if I say "Get one of your babies," or "Put your babies away," he will go and pick them up and put them in the box I have for them. He is very intelligent and understands what I say to him. He knows sentences I use and words and will react to whatever I have said.

    My little boy lives in Walling, Tennessee, where he and I just bought a new house and he is overjoyed at having two acres to run on. About three weeks ago, he just got a five-year-old cat sister and he is going through his second puppyhood. I think he is sniffing the catnip. He is so happy to have her in the house and even lets her sniff his babies.
