Sheeba, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sheeba
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female Breed: Golden Retriever
Home: Florida, USA
 
   Hello there, this is Sheeba. I love getting my pictures taken (posing!) and I consider myself a human, I mean I understand everything. I have done some pretty silly things like trying to eat a pin cushion with pins in it, or right after getting a bath rolling in the dirt, or trying to stand up but falling backwards, oh yeah and let me tell you about this one time when I was a pup I ran into a glass sliding door, because I thought it was open, but you gotta love me.

    If my family is hurt I will be right by their side. My family has had me since I was eight weeks old, there was my sister and I to choose from (I was called Bigfoot by my breeders because I was suppose to be like my dad when I grew up, and my sis was Lilfoot because she was to turn out like my mom {small}). I was also very chubby unlike my sister, and I think that made me cuter. Plus, I mean, who could resist a face like mine?

    I am very energetic and I know a lot of tricks such as stand on two feet/dance, stand up on knees, sit, lay down, heal, come, stay, my left and rights, and more. I also knows sign language signals to those tricks. I love swimming and rescuing people out of the water. Boating is my favorite hobby.

    I love to eat and especially my favorite foods which are peanut butter, popcorn, and pizza. Chewing on ice cubes is very enjoyable too.

    I also love chasing lizards, although I haven't caught one in my six years of training. Oh and when my family isn't home I lay on the couch even though I am not suppose to =/ .

    My tail is like a monster, I have accidently knocked over a glass of red juice onto new carpet. I cant help that I am so happy and tend to wag my tail a lot! When I get hyper I run around the house like a greyhound at the derby lane! My family bought me a bed to sleep on but I won't sleep on it because I have to sleep right in front of the door to be aware of any strangers, but my little sister Bella sleeps on my bed instead. I am very spoiled, and stubborn. I am always laying in the way of people but my family still loves me. I know human language like if my family were to say "take the dog out" or "walk", I can even spell out the words because if my owners were to say "take the dog out" I would get all happy and jump up and down and start barking, so they started spelling it out but now I know that so that doesn't help. I love the holidays because I am always getting more and more toys. Now that you know some facts about me, I am going to be getting offline to go for my walk.

   Always your darling diva,
   Sheeba
