Maddy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Maddy
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female Breed: Weimaraner
Home: Washington, USA
 
   This is our youngest, Maddy Bleu. She has ruled our house since day one, including bossing around her big sister Lexus, a Doberman. At the time we thought our "only child" needed a sister to play with, but what she got was trouble on four legs. Don't let her cuteness fool you, we call her the Blue Devil. She may look like sugar and spice, but behind that sweet face is a big trouble-maker. Like most Weims she is too smart for her own good. While at work, we leave the dogs in the garage, where they have places to rest and plenty to do. Well, one day, she opened the lever-handled door that leads to the house and set off our security alarm! The police officer that responded to the call was not amused with Maddy. She also knows how to open her kennel door.

    She always has to be first at everything, first to eat, first in the door, first to get attention. It doesn't matter if you are dog or human, if you get in her way, she'll throw her weight into you and barge her way through. She has a hard time sharing "Mom's" affection with her sister. If Lexus is getting any attention, Maddy gets very jealous and positions herself between me and Lexus as if to say 'you're gonna have to get through me first!'. Some of her favorite things are food, tennis shoes, hunting the rabbits that inhabit "her" yard which never let her catch them, going to doggy-daycare and did I mention food? After a hard day of play, she loves to curl up next to me on the couch and burrow under the blankets. She's got a pretty loud snore on her and she runs in her sleep. I guess those rabbits can't outrun her... at least in her dreams!
