Clover, the Dog of the Day
Name: Clover
Age: Seventeen months old
Gender: Female Breed: Black Labrador
Home: Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
 
   Clover is ridiculously special. She's extremely silky and shiny, at times indistinguishable from a piece of velvet. Her shininess is overwhelming, you can almost see your reflection in her coat and she has been referred to as "the shining." She has big, silly ears that flap in the breeze when she runs. She loves to lick - every person and dog and everywhere, although her preference is the face. When she's excited she paces around the room and does countless laps around the coffee table. She has an exceptional tail that wags in complete circles, diagonally, and has been known to go faster than 50 mph. When she hasn't seen you in a while (like > three hours) she moans as she dances circles around you. She drags her feet when she walks, it sounds as if she's wearing a pair of slippers. She's an ardent athlete. She loves to swim, play soccer, and catch Frisbees. She's also quite a gymnast - sometimes she'll sit down with her feet out to the sides as if she's doing a split. She loves to cuddle. You can pick her up and put her in any position on you and she'll fall asleep just like a baby. No matter how she spends her day, she's curled up in a tight ball nose to tail on the couch by 8:00 p.m. every night.
