Queeney, the Dog of the Day
Name: Queeney
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female Breed: Maltese
Home: San Juan, Puerto Rico
 
   Queeney's full name is Queeney Flirt. Ever since she was a puppy, she's always loved to watch me when I'm getting ready to go out, putting on makeup and doing my hair, and she looks as if she'd like to do the same. Then she disappears and waits by the door because she wants to go out too. And whenever I can, I take her with me. She likes to wear bows, barrettes and anything that'll make her look feminine and pretty. She even has a flirty way of walking, she swings her rump from side to side as if she's modeling in a fashion show. Queeney loves to pose for the camera and she loves acting too. A few years ago, she appeared in a TV ad for a local Sears campaign. She was very serious about her job and she didn't have to repeat her scenes as much as the human actors! Every time people saw her on the street, they would ask if she was the dog on the Sears TV spot and she loved all the attention.

    Besides being a flirt, she's also a great watch dog, even though she only weighs five pounds! She lets me know when there's someone at the door or approaching it, even before they knock or ring the bell. I live in a building and she knows when I come home from work. She barks all the way from the third floor and she doesn't stop until I open the door, then she greets me with so much happiness that she makes my stress fade away. When I'm watching TV, she cuddles with me and likes to eat popcorn too. She knows when I'm sick, when I'm sad and she gets excited when I'm happy. She's always following me around the house and if I get up in the middle of the night, she gets up too. We just seem to have this strong bond and I'm very attached to her. She's a very special dog and she's the Queen of my heart.
