Booker, the Dog of the Day
Name: Booker
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Male Breed: Yorkshire, Silky Terrier mix
Home: St. Louis, Missouri, USA
 
   Hi everybody, my name is Booker. My mommy was a Yorkshire Terrier and my daddy was a Silky Terrier, but I look like my mommy. (My birth mommy that is). The mommy that has raised me for the past eleven years loves me more than anything in the world. I get sad when she has to leave for work in the mornings, and I try to hide under the bed so that I don't have to be put in my cage. But I'm very happy to see her when she returns. I love when we have company, and I always have to greet people at the door with a dolly or a bone. My tail doesn't wag back and forth like other dogs, but twirls around in a circle. (My goal is to get it twirling fast enough to become airborne.) Mom says that I am a very pretty little boy, but terribly spoiled. I don't really understand that part. I just want what I want, when I want it! And fortunately, I always get it.

    Besides napping, my favorite thing to do is eat. I want to eat treats all day long. I love to go for rides in the car and bark at all the people. Even though I'm a little guy, I love the cold weather and love burying my face in the snow. Mom says that I'm always doing things to make her laugh. When I was a puppy, mom sent my picture in to the "365 Puppies" calendar, and I was chosen to appear in that year's edition. I became famous at a very young age but never let it go to my head. Nonetheless, Mom thinks I'm a pretty special guy.
