Ivy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Ivy
Age: One year old
Gender: Female Breed: Pitbull, Terrier mix
Home: Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
 
   We got Ivy from Animal Aid this last summer, after our family dog died. I first saw her at Petsmart and we immediately hit it off. We signed her up for puppy kindergarten that July. I guess you could say that Ivy was "at the top of her class." She is very intelligent and will sit, stay, lie down, roll over, and get her leash on command. In fact, Ivy's favorite word is "leash." When she hears it, she runs through the house to retrieve it, and then patiently waits at the door.

    Ivy is extremely fun loving and enjoys playing tag and chasing squirrels and birds in the back yard. She is an active puppy that enjoys being the center of attention. If Ivy does not feel that she is receiving enough attention, she will bark until she is noticed. Aside from her rambunctious side, Ivy is tenderhearted. She loves to snuggle at night and follows me with every step I take. Ivy feels it is her duty to watch over me. Even though Ivy weighs 40 pounds, she thinks she is a lap dog. Ivy has been such a blessing to me and to our family.
