Bearon, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bearon
Age: Seven years old
Gender: Male Breed: German Spitz
Home: Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, USA
 
   Our dog, Bearon, is seven years old and is a German Spitz. After our fourteen year old pomeranian passed away, we went to Small Dog Rescue and found Bearon. He was a very friendly dog. He started off having some "anxiety issues" but they were soon resolved after he realized we always came home for him.

    What makes him so special is he is a very happy dog, who loves going "bye-bye" anywhere, anytime, even if he has to stay in the car. He especially loves going "walkie-walkie." We have never known a dog to "lift his leg" so many times in a short span of time like Bearon. On one half-hour hike on Tubbs Hill near Lake Coeur d'Alene, he "lifted his leg" almost 70 times!

    He likes to be the center of attention and will do almost anything to be noticed. Of course, people think he is so cute, that he eventually gets the petting he is seeking. He freely gives out kisses, because he is such a loving dog. And for a treat he will: Sit / Shake / Lay Down / Rollover in five seconds flat. If you pat your chest, he will quickly and smoothly jump into your arms.

    He loves his backyard and regularly dashes out his doggy door at the speed of light to chase after some squirrel that is climbing up the bird feeder.

    He loves to wrestle with anyone, especially our cat, Maxie. Visitors always laugh when they see those two wrestling in a playful way. We take him out on our kayaks and as you can see from one of his photos, he frequently sits on the front scoping the lake for geese. (Yes, we put a life jacket on him, because he regularly falls in after spotting some geese.) He also goes fishing with us and runs back and forth in the boat looking for fish. He has brought so much pleasure in our lives.
