Amber, the Dog of the Day
Name: Amber
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female Breed: Shetland Sheepdog
Home: Austin, Texas, USA
 
   Amber lives with me (her mom) and her younger sister Lexie (a gordon setter mix) whom she loves very much. Although I like to call her my little princess, she rules our house like she's a queen.

    Yes, Amber can be as prissy as she looks (she likes to pose for the camera as you can see), but she can get down and dirty with the big boys as well. She likes to keep her pretty little white paws clean (she walks around puddles to avoid them) and hates to have to go out and do her business when it's raining outside.

    She's a typical Sheltie, as she's very shy and wary around strangers, but to people she knows, she is extremely loving and loyal. She smiles and half closes her eyes when she sees someone she loves. She's very affectionate and likes to kiss even her sister. She also barks a lot, but she is well-trained and usually pipes down when I ask her to.

    She is very protective and a good alarm dog and doorbell. Most of the time, I can't hear the doorbell ring, but I don't worry because she always lets me know when someone is at the door. Her favorite toys are stuffed animal squeaky toys, especially her lamb. She'll wrestle them to the ground and squeak them until she's had enough. It's such an adorable sight to watch how feisty she can be. These are only a few of the reasons I think she's special.
