Rainy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Rainy
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Female Breed: Blue Heeler, Beagle Mix
Home: Big Bend, Wisconsin, USA
 
   Rainy is a ten-year-old Australian Blue Heeler-Beagle mix. We don't see the Beagle in her. She thinks rabbits are only slightly interesting, and she doesn't seem to be able to smell where they've walked.

    She is the smartest dog, but has peculiar (dingo?) traits. She's very particular about who she accepts as "one of the pack." She often stops mid-stride in the funniest positions (must be a throw-back to her shepherd breeding). Her proudest moment is when she runs and cuts through the backyard. She likes to hear us make comments about how fast she is. You can tell because she seems to show off her speed right in front of us.

    Rainy Rooney (as we sometimes call her) enjoys a carrot every day. She's also addressed as "Rainy Roo," "Teppers" or "Sweetie Butt." While her big sister is off at college, she has a futon and two pillows to herself where she likes to spend most of her day.
