Penny, the Dog of the Day
Name: Penny
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Female Breed: Miniature Wire-haired Dachshund
Home: Holly Springs, North Carolina, USA
 
   Penny is truly a DIVA! She loves to sleep on her special pillow on our couch, and when we leave to go out for a night, she stays on her perch until we come home. She is the only girl in an extended family of five dogs (three other dachshunds and a rat terrier), and she uses this fact to her advantage. She's the queen bee and has to get her way!

    She's also a lover and is always ready to give as many kisses as her "Momma" and "Daddy" need! When Momma comes home, she will run from the farthest room of the house to meet her at the door.

    Her favorite treats are ice cubes - when anyone opens the freezer door and grabs a couple ice cubes out of the tray, Penny will wait at the door until she gets a special treat! This works at her house and her friends' houses equally.

    Her favorite toy is her laser pointer - she will run and run and run after it, and even once it disappears, she'll continue searching for it for another hour. She loves to destroy any other toys that she receives - first she breaks the squeaker inside and then she finds the weak spot and pulls out all of the stuffing. Every time!

    She's also the most vocal dog we know - she has the loudest yawn, and true to a hound, loves to bark at anything (leaves, squirrels, and wind) in the backyard.
