Specky, the Dog of the Day
Name: Specky
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Lhasa Apso, Pekinese Mix
Home: Madison, Virginia, USA
 
   Specky is a Lhasa Apso/Peke mix -- lovable, very active and healthy! She has a cute personality with very defined personality traits. She loves to have company! When I have guests in, Specky will sit on their foot while they are visiting, to keep them from leaving! She loves to go for walks, loves people and children -- and loves to play with her stuffed animals and chase a ball. She is an excellent little companion, is very smart and lovable.

    Specky is a very feminine little dog -- and, yes, she wears bows very often - her ears have grown out now, and the groomer puts a pink bow at the top of each ear which makes her look like she has pony tails!! She will bark and jump at me when I get home if I am gone more than three or four hours - she is fussing at me! And if a cat or another dog happens to wander through her yard (when she is on her cushion at the sliding glass doors looking out) she barks - she doesn't like for them to be in her yard!!

    One more personality trait - if I don't answer the phone by the 3rd or 4th ring, she will come to me and howl - continuously! - until I answer!!!! This usually happens when I am in the shower. She is a "personality-plus" little dog, full of love and devotion, and, very comical - and everyone that knows her, loves her.
