Tika, the Dog of the Day
Name: Tika
Age: One year old
Gender: Female Breed: Pug
Home: Roscoe, Illinois, USA
 
   This is Tika J. Pug. Tika is the craziest little beast, that can't get enough attention. She is a first class sleeper and feels like the a queen size bed is just not big enough for her, my husband, and myself. We can't imagine life without her... she makes us laugh all day.

    She has the most amazing personality. I work at home and she is known around our house as my assistant. She loves to sit on my lap while I work on my computer. She has a sister (seven-year-old cat) that she loves to chase and wrestle with. Her best friend is Sadie, a 10 month old english bulldog. They rough house almost daily and Tika has been known to cry actual tears when Sadie has to leave. Tika J. loves to go for rides in the car and actually received a doggie carseat for Christmas. Tika is the life of the party at all family gatherings. She is not overly independent, which is probably because I am home so much and am able to baby her. She would rather be on my husbands or my lap than anywhere else.

    By far her favorite activity is playing fetch usually with her small stuffed Pumba toy, she's been known to play for hours before getting bored. Though she loves small stuffed animals, she's never been known to pass up a pigskin chewy. She will work on a chewy for a good three to four hours before getting bored. We finally started working on some tricks with her. She knows sit, stay, down, and shake. Not much, but her attention span for tricks is not so good. We couldn't love her any more.
