Phoebe Jane, the Dog of the Day
Name: Phoebe Jane
Age: Eleven months old
Gender: Female Breed: Boston Terrier
Home: North Carolina, USA
 
   Phoebe Jane was given to us last December when she was six weeks old. She is special because she is deaf, but being deaf hasn't slowed her down. She is very smart and has learned many hand commands. Her favorite hand command is the command for "cookie", which by the way gets her to come when we want her to! She has also learned the commands for sit, shake (paws), down, high five, rollover, and much more. We reward her by giving her cheerios. She is also a very loving and sweet puppy who never meets a stranger. She will give kisses to whoever will accept them.

    Phoebe has another side too. One that likes to get into everything! Her most recent incident was falling into a well in one of our attic spaces, from which she had to be rescued. One day she pranced into the living room with a steak knife in her mouth that she had gotten out of the dishwasher. Another time, she got a drinking glass off of a table and proceeded to chew on it. She definitely keeps us on our toes.

    Phoebe's favorite toys are stuffed animals, she loves to rip the stuffing out of them. She also loves playing tug with us and her companion, Libby, who is also a Boston Terrier. We call her our true blue Boston Terrorist!!! We love her high spiritedness and couldn't imagine life without her!
