Precious, the Dog of the Day
Name: Precious
Age: One year old
Gender: Female Breed: Japanese Chin
Home: Cleveland, Oklahoma, USA
 
   This is Precious, she's a Japanese Chin, and the flower, I caught her biting it. She's six and a half months old in the picture, but is a year old now.

    My husband, Pee Wee, eats breakfast out every morning and brings Precious back a piece of cooked bacon. If she gets out of bed before he returns, she runs and jumps in bed with me and licks my ears and plays with my hair until I get up. When she hears the car pulling in the driveway. She runs to the door and howls at him until she gets her bacon. After her bacon, she eats her breakfast.

    Precious has a great personality and loves to play with children and other dogs. She scares most dogs away by laying her front paws on the ground with her rear end up and when they come near her she leaps on them. She knows what "bye-bye" means and has to go for a ride whenever we are going somewhere. She knows when I get dressed and pick up my purse, she needs to go somewhere!

    She is in Obedience training at this time and has learned to sit, lay and stay with hand signs and a clicker. Her treats are bits of bacon. Precious was in a Christmas parade in December and was the star of the show. She rode in our Corvette and wore her Santa's outfit.

    Precious has a rabbit with a small ball on the back of it and she puts it between her front paws and pulls the string. The rabbit vibrates! She continues to pull the string several times in a row. We love her very much and it has been such a joy to have her. She plays with squeaky toys and continues to squeak them about ten times in a row. She fetches her toys and wants us to throw them for her and she can speak on demand.

    She chased a spider on the patio this summer and had it between her front paws. I just happened to see her and yelled her name. She let it go and jumped on it again. I ran out and said "No Baby!" She let go again and he went up the wall. I brought her in the house.

    Precious is a real smart little girl! She doesn't bark much, except to go outside. One her favorite things to do, is when she is full, she tries to bury her snacks under the cushions on the couch. She has two kitten friends, Sylvester and Oliver. She loves to play with them. The kittens are the same age of Precious. We have cattle behind our house. Precious tries to be brave! She sits at the fence and waits for them to walk by and runs inside the sliding glass door. She turns around and barks at them from inside the house.
