Bodhi, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bodhi
Age: Fouteen months old
Gender: Male Breed: Shiba Inu
Home: New York, USA
 
   This precious Shiba Inu is named Bodhi, after Patrick Swayze in the movie "Point Break." He loves going for rides, eating Vienna Sausages, and playing with any and every other kind of dog from Rottweilers to Jack Russells. He is a skillful jumper and sometimes hops the fence to chase a cat or two! He definitely runs the house and our lives revolve around his needs!

    He was my 2008 Christmas present from my boyfriend and quite frankly, the best present I have ever received! Our neighborhood is full of cats and sometimes I think that Bodhi thinks he is one of them. When he isn't trying to sneak a nap on our bed, he is perched on the back of the couch looking out the window or cleaning himself. Sometimes I think his internal clock must be a Timex because when it is time for us to come home from work he waits eagerly by the backdoor for me and by the front door for my boyfriend.

    Bodhi is extremely independent and is perfectly content snuggling up on a throw rug on the floor, but when he senses something is wrong or that I just need a hug, he is the first man on the job! He always seems to be fully aware of what is going on. We don't have the typical "Shake" or "Kisses" commands for him, but rather "High Fivers" and "Lub Lubs"... which he fully understands, but is sometimes reluctant to perform unless we have treats-in-hand! (He can very easily be bribed with yogurt, cheese, ham, or an empty ice cream bowl in need of a good licking). When we first got him he was terrified of the world, and now, he rules it! Oh, and did I mention he is a Buffalo Bills fan? He loves watching football!
