Nabby, the Dog of the Day
Name: Nabby
Age: One year old
Gender: Female Breed: Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Home: Richmond, Virginia, USA
 
   We knew we were getting a girl with a mind of her own when we met Nabby at the breeder's. As we were leaving (we were going to take her home at a later date), I wanted to get one last picture of her. She had her back to us, and we kept calling her name for her to turn around. Finally, after much pleading, she swiveled her head around, keeping her back to me, and shot me a look as if to say, "Happy now?" and turned right back around! (That's the small picture.)

    Nabby has been the joy of our lives. She's got an arsenal of cool tricks: being a dead bug, shake, wave, roll over, stand up. She'll stop at nothing for a treat, and sometimes she'll run through her whole repertoire without being asked if she knows there's something in it for her.

    When she gets in trouble, she knows exactly what to do to diffuse the anger: roll over, wiggle her little legs in the air and smile. I challenge anyone to stay mad when faced with that.

    She follows us everywhere, and never misses a chance to shower us with kisses or make us laugh. She's also the best canine communicator I have ever met...we always know when she's hungry, thinks someone is outside, wants a walk or wants to play. She's friendly to everyone she meets, including other dogs and cats. Everyone who meets her falls in love at first sight!
