Phoebe, the Dog of the Day
Name: Phoebe
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female Breed: English Springer Spaniel
Home: Wellington, New Zealand
 
   Phoebe was a surprise birthday present for my brother. As she was being flown in from another city, we told him that we were going to the airport to pick up our cousin who was coming to visit some time in the near future. Unfortunately, Phoebe didn't make her flight as she'd been playing the prima donna and was kicked off the plane for making too much noise. After making a fumbled excuse to my brother about our cousins missing their flight, we returned to the airport later that day to collect a very floppy and sleepy Phoebe who had now been given a herbal sedative to make her sleep through the flight. When we arrived home and presented her to my brother the first thing he asked was whether she was our cousin's dog - he was delighted to find out she was ours! After ten minutes of exploring her new home, Phoebe toppled over and fell asleep in the doorway.

    Phoebe is a wonderfully loving pet who is completely pampered and is convinced she is a cat - her favorite toy is a plush kangaroo, whose ears she sucks while prodding her sheepskin! She's our girl!
