Belle, the Dog of the Day
Name: Belle
Age: Ten months old
Gender: Female Breed: Dog
Home: Birmingham, Alabama, USA
 
   This is Belle, second generation mongrel, twice removed. She was a gift to my wife just after christmas. She was then six weeks old, huddling in a crate at the Birmingham, AL humane society. Now, she's 65 pounds, and, as you can see, all ears. She has that peculiar way of always having one ear up and one down that cracks us up every time. Factor in that weird tongue of hers, and you have what our vet calls "100% golden-german-chow-retriever." She is all spunk and never ceases to surprise us (or wear us out!) with her energy.

    As to her disposition, she is especially affectionate. She's now ten months old, and already learning a few tricks like sit, lay down, high five, and the newest is shake right and shake left. Unfortunately, those ears have never decided what to do, as one of them remains stoically at half mast! Favorite toys are rope bones, and she is on her 6th, each one bigger than the last. She sure is a handful, and always ready to play... sometimes too much!
