Edie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Edie
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Longhair Miniature Dachshund
Home: Nashville, Tennessee, USA
 
   My name is Edelweiss Destiny, but I am called by my initials E D, which is spelled "Edie." My humama wants to nominate me fur the Dog of the Day recognition. I am a three-year-old longhair miniature Dachshund who lives just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. I don't think I am any more special than anywoof else, so I will step aside to let my humama tell you why I should be recognized!

    Hi, Becky, a.k.a. Humama, here. Edie is such a special little girl! She was the birthday gift for me and for my then-seven-year-old triplet sons. She is a small dog, but has the playfulness and heart of a much bigger dog. She is smart and amusing, having amassed quite a few tricks in her repertoire. She never knows a stranger, and has such a good relationship with our mail carrier that he leaves her a doggie treat nearly every day.

    But the thing that makes Edie so special is the way she takes care of her "pack." If she has the sense that someone is sad, she makes it her mission to cheer them up. When any member of the family is ill, she will stay right by his or her side, taking care not to disturb that person if he or she is resting. Presently I am recovering from foot surgery, and Edie didn't leave my side for many hours, other than for brief food and bathroom breaks. She would not let anyone pick her up to take her away from me, giving a rare growl to those who would dare remove her. Edie is truly a nurse, a comedienne, a confidant, a sister, and a friend. She is a fine young lady who is so deserving of such an honor.
