Kira, the Dog of the Day
Name: Kira
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female Breed: Labrador Retriever
Home: Lawrenceville, Georgia, USA
 
   This is my dog, Kira. She is two years old and still loves to run around inside or out. She loves to play with any type of toy. Her favorite is a ball. She has at least five, two being soccer balls. Kira is always trying to steal my boys' soccer balls, too.

    I got Kira the day I left my last job and she has been following me around ever since. I can't even get up from the couch to walk ten feet without her at my heels.

    Kira does have one trick. When she is offered a treat she is to sit and be nice and then she will say, "Please." All I have to do is say, "What do you say?", or "Kira, say please," and she says please (barks). What is really funny about Kira is that if she has to wait too long for any type of food she drools. I was making steak for supper one night and I looked over at her and it looked as if she swallowed a shoe - she was dripping out of both sides of her mouth. She looked like Hooch from Turner and Hooch. Sometime she will drool when asked, for a treat though.

    Kira also likes to play Hide-N-Seek. I will hide her toys and she will find them. Granted sometimes it takes a while but she does find them. Kira is somewhat independent but when she wants mommy she is right there. She is an inside dog but will play outside for hours by herself with her soccer ball. It also amazes me that she knows when it is 7:00 p.m. This is the time she eats supper. It doesn't matter where she is at 6:59, at 7:00 she will come in the kitchen and stand by the pantry door and wait to be fed! Smart girl!
