Winter, the Dog of the Day
Name: Winter
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Spitz, West Highland Terrier mix
Home: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
 
   My dog's name is Winter. I am her owner but I am currently studying in Perth, and she is being taken care by my family in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She is a home-dog and was brought back to the house when she was about two months old and since then, she lives with us, most of the time, following us everywhere we go and entertaining us is many ways becoming a very "human-dog". :).

    She loves to eat fruits, unlike most of the dogs I know of. Her favorites are oranges, apples, mangoes, mangoesteens, pears and anything sweet. She also knows how to control her diet. Once she has had enough, even if its her favorite fruit, she would turn her head away when she is fed. Her vocabulary is growing slowly...she knows the names of her toys. She also loves to give my sister kisses [licks her face] and every time my father leaves for work, she would follow my mother everywhere she goes, begging to be carried out to say goodbye... my mother would them walk to the main gate waving goodbye to my father. Also, when the whole family's upstairs, and if she's bored downstairs, she would climb up the stairs to look for them and she never barks for attention which is good.

    There are so many things about her that makes the whole family very happy and I am glad I bought her when I did. The photo is her lying on her back in my lap - most dogs dont like that position but she has gotten used to it ... and she is rather photogenic at times.
