Nala, the Dog of the Day
Name: Nala
Age: Nine months old
Gender: Female Breed: Labrador mix
Home: Palm Harbor, Florida, USA
 
   Nala came to us at the age of eight weeks old, when I had fallen in love with her right away. At times she can be a real pain in the behind but, she's still a puppy. :) We adopted her from the Humane Society of North Pinellas where she was with her littermates. She was the smallest of her brothers and sisters from those I saw. She and her littermates had kennel cough before we had adopted her.

    Nala currently only knows a few tricks and is still "in training." She can sit, lay, speak, roll over, hold things in her mouth, and flip treats off her nose and catch them. She's quickly learning from her 'brother,' Simba, who was previously Dog Of The Day. Nala very much enjoys food, rawhides, and toys, Tons of Toys! Her favorite snack is carrots. She loves to play tug of war, whether it be with a blanket, stuffie toy, or tug of war toy.

    She's my first 'real puppy', as my other dog was already 8 months and fully out of the puppy stage when we adopted him. I've loved seeing her grow into the gorgeous, almost dog she is --yet, i'm sad because it's gone by too fast. She grew like a sprout, even within the first week we had her.

    Nala's rather protective when it comes to noises and strange people, but once that noise or person approaches her, she's gone in a flash to hide! She's all bark, no bite. :)

    Nala says she's proud of her Halloweenie pictures, and wishes everyone Happy Halloween!
