Lenin, the Dog of the Day
Name: Lenin
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male Breed: Yellow Lab, Jack Russell Terrier
Home: Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA
 
   Lenin loves to run around in the yard, go on long walks, and stretch out across a bed or couch in his down-time. The only thing he has bad thoughts about is bath time, and will consequently greet every visitor with tail-wags and kisses... unless they are wielding a hose. Ever since he was rescued from the animal shelter at seven months, he has been spoiled by his parents, grandparents, and anyone who sees him. He is the perfect dog in every way, and our lives would not be as wonderful without his presence.

    When we picked Lenin up from the pound, freshly neutered, he was pretty subdued most of the ride home. It wasn't until Octopus's Garden came on the radio, that Lenin's energy returned. So we knew he was a Beatles dog. Unfortunately, Lenin's Dad has a bit of a mischievous streak, and purposely misspelled "Lennon" on the dog tag. But since then, we never wanted to change it, and Lenin seems to like it. He dictates our lives pretty well, so it fits. He's a very active and personable dog, who is independently motivated. He can entertain himself for hours in the yard or around the house, often rolling around and wrestling with the carpet. He can be a lap dog (when he wants to be), but most of the time, he is begging to play a game of sorts. His favorite game is tug of war, and he always wins! He knows a few standard tricks (sit, lay down, fetch), but we are most proud of his ability to come and go on command. He is a very obedient dog who stays by our side without a leash, and loves taking rides to his grandmas' houses. He knows as soon as we arrive, and runs straight to their front doors! He is everyone's favorite pet!
