Terra, the Dog of the Day
Name: Terra
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female Breed: Basset, Beagle mix
Home: Wisconsin, USA
 
   Woof, Woof.. my name is Terra. I was adopted from a shelter six years ago. I had another family but they didn't come to claim me. My new Mom liked the look in my eyes when she visited me, little did she know that it was a look of mischief!! She was selected as my new owner when many other people wanted me also. We didn't get along very well at first, it took awhile for us to get used to each other. I think Mom almost took me back to the shelter, but one day I curled up on the couch with her for a nap and I never heard anymore about that. I am glad to be with my Mom, she is very special and treats me very special. She calls me 'little girl' and I like that.

    I am a basset and beagle mixture, which makes me all hound dog. I love to chase rabbits. Am always on the lookout for a rabbit during our walks. I drag my Mom under bushes and around pine trees looking for those rabbits. I like to make friends with new people and animals. I always greet people when I see them. Most of the time they will pet and talk to me. I like that, it makes my day! Most dogs are also pretty nice but cats are a different story... they are pretty standoffish. We go for a lot of walks together and I am always patrolling our yard on the lookout for rabbits. I am special to my Mom because I make a good companion and give lots of love everyday. I demand a lot of attention which Mom is happy to provide. Right now, I am pretty tired from chasing rabbits and being outside all day as you can see from my photo. I am ready for my nap, BYE
