Felipe, the Dog of the Day
Name: Felipe
Age: Three and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Miniature Schnauzer
Home: The Woodlands, Texas, USA
 
   My mom found me at a rescue location outside a Petco. She didn't know I was a miniature schnauzer because I still had my full tail. (Mom loves my full tail. She says it looks like a big feather plume!) Mom says I am the best. Akane, my beagle sister, wasn't too sure about me at first but now we are best friends and we make mom laugh with our antics. My mom now works with Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston and she says I am the cause of it. She keeps track of all the medical records for them. I put up with her doing that some but when I think she has been at the computer long enough, I will growl at her or get one of my toys and throw it at her. She finally gets tickled and pays me the attention I deserve. I am told I am named after mom's dad, Phillip, but with a spanish spelling and french pronunciation. Hey, I'm international!!!

    Oh, I almost forgot. I am a pin-up boy. Mom submitted my photo to MSRH's calendar contest and I was chosen as Mr. May so I guess I am kind of a celebrity!!! Mom says everyone thinks I am a golden color when they see my photo but I'm not I am white. The photo was taken in the evening with the evening light. I look pretty good don't you think?!?!

    Note from mom: Felipe came into my life after my almost sixteen-year-old teacup poodle passed away and Akane had gone to live with my daughter for a while. I couldn't stand the empty apartment and Felipe has definitely filled that void. Akane came back to live with us about five months after I adopted Felipe. I don't know what I would do without my handsome boy or my baby girl!
