Nelli, the Dog of the Day
Name: Nelli
Age: Thirteen weeks old
Gender: Female Breed: Chihuahua
Home: Whiting, Indiana, USA
 
   This is Nereida Elise Dumas (nickname: Nelli). Nelli is special because she has only been on this earth a short time and is already a genius. She made the transition from her mom's milk to "real" food in only a few days and has a very healthy appetite. She really loves to eat! She's in such ecstasy that she keeps her eyes closed and just devours everything in her dish, so that when she finally emerges for air her face is covered in food bits. (This may explain why her width is greater than her height.) We also have two large cats at home, but Nelli is not intimidated at all. In fact, she spends most of her time stealing their toys and trying to hitch a free piggy-back ride.

    In addition to her feistiness, she also has a very loving nature and will snuggle under our necks and fall asleep if given the slightest chance. What's most amazing to us is that it only took her two days to learn her new name and when we call her she comes running as fast as her short, stubby legs can carry her.

    So in summation we feel that Nereida Elise Dumas should be the pet of the day because she is a triple-threat - brainsbeauty and a big tummy! What more could we ask for in a pet?
