Pup-a-lup, the Dog of the Day
Name: Pup-a-lup
Age: Three and a half years old
Gender: Female Breed: Plot hound,
Red Bone Coon Hound Mix
Home: Georgia, USA
 
   This is our special girl Pup-a-lup. We think she is a Plot Hound/Red Bone Coon Hound Mix, but we're unsure. She was dropped off where we live and was living outside for a few weeks before she decided to adopt us. We were outside on Halloween when she came up to our porch and decided that we were the family for her! We're so lucky, she is so sweet. She was very skinny when she showed up, but you can see from the picture that she's very healthy now! It took a few weeks for her and our six cats to get along, but now they get along just fine.

    When we come home from work Pup likes to howl with us for several minutes! We all howl together until Pup runs over to the cabinet and waits for her treat. After that we put on her harness and go for a long walk. She gets really excited when it's time for her walk, and runs all through the house, jumping and howling. When we first took Pup in we only had a queen-size bed, but we bought a king-size soon after, since pup loves to sleep with us. She knows when it's bed time, and will get up and walk into the bedroom and get into bed, even if we're not ready to! She likes to sleep in between us, resting her head on my legs, or over the top of one of our heads. Sometimes she'll lay with her head and legs on top of me, and she weighs almost 60 pounds! She always lets out huge sighs when she lays down with us. Pup loves to get her ears rubbed, and always yawns when we rub them. She also loves to play catch with her stuffed toys. She's one of the most wonderful things to ever happen to us, and we're so glad that she adopted us!
