Dusty, the Dog of the Day
Name: Dusty
Age: Six years old
Gender: Male Breed: Silky Terrier
Home: Kingston, Ontario, Canada
 
   Dusty came to us six years ago. My husband and I were newly married and I had been pestering him for a dog. He had seen Dusty, as a puppy, and thought I should go take a look. My first thought was, "Yeah cute, but what about those ears?" His ears were bigger than his body, it seemed. Well, he gave us the wiggle bum and leapt in my lap, as I knelt on the floor. It was love at first leap. He came home with us that day.

    Ever since, I can't say there has ever been a dull moment. He delights us in so many ways! He always greets us at the door with a "Where have you been, I've missed you so much!!" cry, grabs a shoe in his mouth like a soother and goes in a curly wiggle circle. It doesn't matter whether we've been out for hours or just a few minutes. He also loves to visit at the neighbor's house as well. If he sees us going there without him, he totally freaks out. After all, they are his friends too.

    We have a wonderful companion with Dusty and hopefully will continue laughing at his silly antics every single day, for many years to come.

    P.S. He did eventually grow into his ears.
