BrandiWine, the Dog of the Day
Name: BrandiWine
Age: Eleven months old
Gender: Female Breed: Lab mix
Home: California, USA
 
   This is our Little Princess BrandiWine. She wants to tell you her story.

    Shhhh! My parents were fooled the moment they saw my picture on an animal rescue website, so I decided to live up to their expectations and be their little princess.

    I was quiet, calm and loving on the long drive home. Once I reached my home, my parent's lives and mine changed forever. I suddenly forgot the meaning of "No." The whole house - tables, chairs, counter-tops were all new obstacles for me to clamber on ... it was exciting. My parents watched with what began as amusement and they cuddled and kissed me lots. That was five months ago when I was about six months old.

    Now, life is even better. I have a large couch to sleep on and the bed is mostly mine since my parents squeeze themselves to the side of the bed to give me space.

    I used to be terrified even of water dripping from a tap, but my parents taught me how swimming is such fun and now they wonder why. They can't even keep me out of a little puddle! I've also learned to drool, since I've learned the taste of so many yummy things, some of which I sampled when my parents were out.

    I go almost everywhere with my parents and in these last five months of my life I've been to lakes, the ocean, the desert, mountains, played in snow, doggie parks and been on lots of road trips. Best of all, I'm always drenched in love. I've learnt a few tricks, but when I smell my treats I start doing a Sit, Down, Lie-down and Roll-over all at once, even before my mom asks me!

    Strangers always tell my mommy I look like such a happy doggie and my parents think they are so lucky to have rescued me, because I was meant to be their Little Princess. Wish you all lots of love too!
