Sissi, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sissi
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Smooth Fox Terrier
Home: Orleans, France
 
   Sissi is a very kind and very affectionate dog. She is always close to me, even at night. She loves to sleep under my feather bed. We met when she was five months old. My first fox terrier, Olive, had just died. We needed each other then - and still do. Sissi comes everywhere with me: to the office, visiting customers, visiting friends and riding.

    She loves to come to events; when I am preparing the horse to go in Eventing, she stays near the truck so as not to stay at the stables. On the ground she runs and jumps on fences. She is so happy ... Only one thing is forbidden: if a horse balks, Sissi is totally furious and wants to bite it! But she knows this is not allowed.

    Everybody knows Sissi, and she has a lot of friends: she is definitely a nice girl, she never fights or growls. She is very sociable and loves to play with other dogs or with cats. Her best friends are Real, a golden retriever and Felin, a cat. I can never punish her. Sometimes she can be a little bit of a rascal, especially with food (she is fond of everything you can eat!), but I have never been angry with her. How could I?

    We leave in Orleans, in France. Three months ago a new smooth fox puppy joined us. I wanted to find a friend for Sissi, I think they are happier when there are two of them. Sissi was a little bit sorry about living with this puppy during the first week, but they are now best friends.
