Fancy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Fancy
Age: 22 1/2 months old
Gender: Female Breed: Standard Poodle
Home: Cape Girardeau, Missouri, USA
 
   Fancy is an extremely happy strawberry blond Standard Poodle. She is in constant motion, thus, earning her the nickname "fancy antsy pants". Fancy never just walks. She goes at top speed, always. She bounces, she leaps, she dances, she prances, she hops, she spins and she runs, always enjoying life to the fullest.

    Fancy has taken several obedience and agility classes. She is very smart, learning a command in one try - but - she has the attention span of a flea and there is still that problem of trying to hold still for longer than a second. You would never know she has hip displaysia but she was diagnosed at one year old. Now I keep her medicated with the highest safe dose of doggy glucosamine and let her live life at top speed if that's what she wants.

    Fancy did earn her Canine Good Citizen award from the AKC at fifteen months and was certified for pet therapy shortly there after. Fancy is following in her big brother, Toby's, paw prints. Toby is a huge white Standard Poodle. He has shown Fancy the ropes so she wouldn't be nervous in elevators and going through revolving and sliding doors. They visit both hospitals here and all the nursing homes in the area, also working with kids and reading at times. Toby is now seven and remains laid back and dignified. Fancy, however, bounces her way into a room, a big smile on her face and her tail wagging her whole body. No one can resist smiling at her and loving both of them.

    I feel so honored sharing their lives and sharing them with others.
