Baxter, the Dog of the Day
Name: Baxter
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male Breed: Chihuahua, Corgi mix
Home: San Diego, California, USA
 
   Baxter is three years old and is a Chihuahua - Corgi mix (we think). The picture was taken after he came back from the barber shop. He is now living in beautiful San Diego, California. He moved here about a year ago after being a street dog in Miami Beach, Florida. Fortunately for us, Baxter decided to follow a cute little rat terrier, called Cleo, home. Baxter was then offered a free plane ticket and the opportunity to become a pampered pet and he quickly decided to leave his rugged life style behind.

    Since he doesn't have to work anymore, Baxter spends his days lounging around. Although he takes frequent trips to the back yard to hunt unsuccessfully for insects and rodents. He enjoys dog beach and the dog park, where he provokes large dogs to chase him at breakneck speeds. Baxter is a fierce tug-of-war competitor, he'll dangle in the air suspended by his teeth for extended periods of time. He has a meaningful intimate relationship with a stuffed Odie. No one would suspect his uncultured background because Baxter has impeccable table manners, he chews his food one kernel at a time. The day is always finished with a good chew while watching TV.
