Cookie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Cookie
Age: Ten months old
Gender: Female Breed: Coton de Tulear
Home: Indiana, USA
 
   My mom calls me Cookie, because I'm a sweet little thing. I'm a smart little Cookie, too!

    I live with mom and an old Dachshund, named Duffy. He's a hoot! He likes to spend most of his time in his bed under a blanket. If he's not there you can be sure he's sitting in front of his bowl, or he's outside watering the lawn. I've got too much energy for Duffy, so I spend my time running up and down the fence with my neighbor friends, Oscar (a Lhaso Apso) and Sully (a Bloodhound). Now those guys know how to play!

    I'm no longer ten weeks old like I was in this picture, but ten months old. We submitted my "baby picture," because even though I'm cute today, I was unbelievably cute when I was a little puppy. Now that I'm almost grown, I'm just plain pretty. I'm mostly white now, with black on the tips of my ears and a butterscotch saddle between my shoulder blades. I also sport a lovely beard, which I didn't have when I was a baby. Most Cotons are all white. My fur is unbelievably soft, but it gets real long and matts easily... so I get haircuts once a month and keep it the length you see in this picture.

    My favorite things are playing (and playing, and playing) with squeaky toys, going for walks, going for bicycle rides, and traveling by car. Mom's got a special car seat for me that allows me to look out the windows - it even has a safety belt! I love everybody and everything, because Mom has made sure that I have been well "socialized."
