Phoebe, the Dog of the Day
Name: Phoebe
Age: One year old
Gender: Female Breed: Border Collie Mix
Home: Atlanta, Georgia, USA
 
   This our dog Phoebe (aka Phoebe "cakes," Phoebus, Fleabus, Crazy Phoeb, - the list goes on!). The general consensus seems to be that she is part Border Collie, there's no telling what else. She lives in Atlanta, GA and we adopted her from the Atlanta Humane Society. She just celebrated her first birthday last week.

    Phoebe entered our lives when we adopted her on the same day my fiance proposed. Our lives have never been the same since! Everything is fascinating and new to her...I wish I had that mentality sometimes! Because she is such a happy-go-lucky dog, you can't help but smile when she's around. She is constantly making us laugh because of her amusing antics. Here are some examples. She loves to catch tennis balls thrown at her head just about as hard as you can throw. Each time she is taken outside, she deems it necessary to return with a carefully selected stick. At least three times a week, she runs around the apartment (or chases her tail) at mach speed for around three minutes at a time. The list goes on and on! She is a very smart dog and learns things very quickly. She truly is a wonderful playmate, friend and confidant. Don't get me wrong, she isn't perfect all of the time, but look at that face!
