Gracie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Gracie
Age: Eight months old
Gender: Female Breed: Pit Bull mix
Home: Illinois, USA
 
   Here is our beautiful Gracie. She is eight months old now. We adopted her from our local animal shelter when she was eight weeks old. She was quite a little black ball of joy, and nothing has changed! She has learned how to sit, come here, lay down, shake, shake ten (both paws), where's your toy?, car car ride?, treat?, and most importantly "Do you want to eat?"

    Gracie is a people pleaser and will do almost anything for a treat. She is very smart and loving. She is housetrained, and only barks during playtime. She loves to play fetch with her daddy and make him happy by being a good girl. She gets very excited when visitors come, always keeping a good eye and ear out for any potential guests. It is a delight to come home to our little "Baby Gracie" because it is required of both daddy and mommy to greet her with "Where's my Gracie?" She comes running full speed ahead, tail wagging, ready for her hugs and kisses.

    Gracie's hobbies include watching TV, looking out the window, playing chase and talking with her "boyfriend" Tommy along our adjoining fence, laying in the sun, chewing on her toys, eating ice cubes, and spreading love throughout the house. Gracie is good at keeping herself busy. If she can't get us to play with her, she will just play by herself! She will take a toy in her mouth and swing it around, let it go and then go chase after it!! She has discovered that balls are especially exciting to push with her nose, stop it in mid roll and push it away again. What a smart little girl we have been blessed with! What fun she brings to our house!! We love our "Baby Gracie!"
