Yuki, the Dog of the Day
Name: Yuki
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Peek-a-Poo
Home: USA
 
   Here is a picture of our angel - Yuki Dixon. She is a five year old Peek-a-poo and is the most precious, intelligent dog on the planet!!! Why is she special? Everything about her is special. She loves to be held and to give you kisses and snuggle. She is never grumpy, just always smiling and loving. She understands everything we say. We talk to her like she's a human and she just does whatever we are talking about. If we are sick, she is right there to look after us. She has just added so much love and joy to our home in the five years she's been with us - it's just unbelievable.

    What tricks does she do???

    Well, she dances, sings and talks when you ask her if she wants a "treat". She spins around and walks on her back feet. She puts her head back and sings her head off and is so proud of herself!! She catches treats that are dropped. She always knows which hand we are hiding a treat in and taps that hand with her paw to get the treat. We hide treats in the house and she finds them - she loves to run around the house and find where the treats are hidden. She's an only child so she sleeps a lot during the day but at night she is ready to play!! We play tug of war and she gets on the bed and goes crazy finding my hand and attacking it under the covers.

    Her funniest game is "get Daddy - get Mommy". She'll be on his lap with her paws on his shoulders. He'll whisper "get Mommy" and she come sailing across the room and fly into my lap - put her paws on my shoulders and kiss my nose. I'll whisper, "get Daddy" and she will fly back across the room and into his lap... this goes on until she has gone back and forth six to eight times and we are all worn out from laughing at her. She learns so quickly - we show her something one time and she never forgets. She is certainly "gifted"!!!!

    We own a tennis camp and live in a dorm in the summer during the camp. Yuki loves the campers as much as they love her. She just loves being around people and other animals. When we go outside she immediately looks up and down the street to see if anybody is there. She just knows they are there to see her. She does Community Service by making visits to schools, Churches Vacation Bible Schools, Nursing homes and visiting elderly shut-ins. She brings so much joy to everyone.

    She is very special and very beautiful. She also has such nice manners and is so polite - just a perfect "little Lady"!! We've had people tell us that they wish their kids were as nice as Yuki!! We take her every place we go and she is always the center of attention because of her beauty and wonderful personality. She is our Dog of the Day every day!
