Xena, the Dog of the Day
Name: Xena
Age: Seven years old
Gender: Female Breed: Chipoo (Chihuahua & Poodle)
Home: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
 
   Xena arrived at my house weighing only one pound and seven ounces! For the first few days I had her, she slept in a cut up Kleenex box, which was just perfect in size! The moment I held her, I fell in love with her - she's my little baby. There is no greater feeling than coming home after a long day, and seeing her spin in circles and whimper until I bend down and pick her up. I then get showered with kisses!

    Xena can have a bit of an attitude, especially towards people she doesn't know, or people she does know and doesn't necessarily like! We named her Xena because the day she arrived, we were watching Xena: Warrior Princess, but never dreamt that the name would be so fitting! She is very protective of her family and will gladly show her wonderful teeth if you try anything funny towards one of us!

    Despite her small appearance, she has a monstrous appetite. I've been told only too many times that she could stand to lose a couple of pounds. Watching her eat is quite entertaining... she gets one piece of food, runs into the other room, watches it, plays with it, finally decides to eat it, and then starts all over again! She is certainly the queen of our castle!
