Apollo, the Dog of the Day
Name: Apollo
Age: Seventeen weeks old
Gender: Male Breed: Boxer
Home: Sharon, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   My name is Apollo. I am a seventeen-week-old puppy with natural ears, but in this picture I was eight weeks old. As you can see from my photo I am very inquisitive. I have a great need to know everything that is going on around me. I need to know where my family is at all times. They try to pick up the keys quietly so I don't know they are going somewhere, but I know, I hear those keys no matter where I am! I love when my Mom (she is great by the way) takes me to the playground to play. We run around and I chase my ball through the high grass. That is my favorite thing to do.

    Every Sunday evening my mom and dad take me to Dairy Queen for a baby-sized vanilla ice cream cone. Mmmm!! My brother Jimmy, eighteen, takes me to the dam to play in the water. He throws the ball in and I go in up to my neck and then I make Jimmy chase the ball the rest of the way! The best part of this is that Jimmy goes and gets the ball every time!! I have trained him well. My sister, Courtney, seventeen, takes me for long walks around the neighborhood. We go and visit my friends, and I get to see all of my favorite trees and bushes. I think I'll stay around here for a while, I think I have it made in the shade!!!
