Moxie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Moxie
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Miniature Rat Terrier
Home: Tennessee, USA
 
   Moxie is my mighty hunter and walking companion, fearless in the face of Chipmunks or Bobcats! Although I'd prefer she leave the Bobcats alone!

    She competes in Dog shows and has titled in Rally - RE (Rally Excellent) and CGC (Canine Good Citizen) But her favorite place to be is with me no matter what I'm doing. And I couldn't ask for a better friend!

    Moxie does an assortment of tricks: walks, crawls, spins right and left, dances, rolls over and of course sits up. She entertains all that she meets as well as helps me teach puppy obedience and Rally classes. But true to her terrier heritage she won't do any trick if there's not a proper reward offered, preferably cheese. Moxie is shy around strangers unless they have cheese but she loves children almost as much as she loves cheese. We do pet therapy at the children's hospital. She loves to snuggle under blankets and loves to climb up on the fresh hot laundry while I fold it. She has saved me from mid-life humdrums and I saved her from a very poor farm in East Tennessee. She means more to me than I ever thought possible.
