Joey, the Dog of the Day
Name: Joey
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male Breed: Poodle, Terrier mix
Home: Orem, Utah, USA
 
   This is Joey, known to some as Ben Fur. Joey was adopted into our family when he was two years old weighing in at only four pounds. We have now fattened him up to about eight pounds. He was a very well behaved dog from the very beginning, he is easy to take on a walk without a leash, and can be let outside without ever leaving the yard. Being so small, Joey is the target of many children's affection, which scares him a bit, but he handles it like a pro. Joey's best and only trick is ringing a small bell by the door when he wants to go outside.

    Joey's best friend is his "Uncle Jeff" (my dad) who he follows around all day long. Wherever my dad goes Joey is just two steps behind. Joey is very good at telling time. When it's time for "Uncle Jeff" to come home from work, Joey drops what he's doing and hops onto his footstool near the window to watch and wait. Joey enjoys lying in the sun, burrowing in between people who are sitting next to each other on the couch, riding in the car, barking happily for attention, and chasing his puppy friend KC around the yard. Joey has been such a blessing in our lives and we can't remember how we got along without him.
