Annie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Annie
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Boxer
Home: Somerset, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   This is Miss Annie. She came to us 3.5 years ago on Thanksgiving day. She was running stray on my grandparents farm, and when we caught her she was very thin and malnourished. We tried to find her owners, but to no avail so with a little pleading my parents brought her home for me. That is how she got her name, Orphan Annie. As you can see from the one picture she is a true snack hound. Some of her favorites are cheese balls, cheese, chips n dip, french fries etc. Basically she likes anything that won't eat her first.

    Although she is now five years old she is still a puppy at heart. She lives for a good wrestling match on the floor, and playing with her stuffed hedgehog Buddha. She also enjoys "reading the newspaper." She starts running around like crazy when she even hears the rattle of a paper. Her other favorite activities include sleeping, going for walks (or shall I say taking me for a walk), and going for car rides. If she hears the words ride, walk, or go she goes insane running around in circles and jumping up and down. I think the best part about having Annie is that when you get home at the end of the day she meets you at the door so happy that her whole body wiggles, jumps up and gives you a hug and kiss.
