Megabyte, the Dog of the Day
Name: Megabyte
Age: Five months old
Gender: Female Breed: Golden Labrador
Home: Cape Town, South Africa
 
   I know Megabyte probably seems like an odd name for such an adorable looking dog, but it was a "in-joke" for my hubby and me, we both work with computers, and we had decided that we had to have at least one pet with a computer related name. We call her Meg for short, but her name is apt as she does everything in Mega amounts! She goes to puppy school every Saturday, and she has learnt how to sit, (lie) down, stand, wait, heel and stay. She loves going to school to play with the other puppies, she sings with excitement when we're waiting for my husband to get the car out of the garage.

    We have another dog, a Maltese poodle named Snowy, but Meg's best friend is my mom's Rottweiler puppy, who is the same age as her, named Jade. Meg thinks that our cat is a toy made for her to harass. She is losing her baby teeth at the moment, so is chewing up everything and anything she can get her teeth into, including our sprinkler system, and the planks she's pulled off the cover of our pump. I'm just glad that she can't get into the garage, or bye-bye car!! I have never had a big dog of my own, and it really surprised me that I would love her so much. She is very cute and super-friendly, so I doubt she'll be much of a guard dog, but I'm really happy that we got her.
