Minkus, the Dog of the Day
Name: Minkus
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Beagle, Mini Pinscher
Home: Marlboro, New Jersey, USA
 
   Minkus Ramone is believed to be half Beagle, half Mini Pinscher. Coming from the Jersey Shore, she loves the sun more than the Jersey Shore cast. When finding out my Christmas present was finally being able to get a dog, I saw her face and took a four-hour drive with my dad to adopt her. There are not enough amazing adjectives to describe her. Minkus has made this house a home for the past five years. Running up to me the second I walk in, wagging her tail and unsatisfied until she is kisses you at least 100 times, Minkus should be honored.

    Minkus is one of a kind. Her sassy walk and loving ways can get her out of any situation (especially the ones that involve a sneak of our food)! She loves long walks around the neighborhood where all the neighbors know her name and wave to her. After a nice long walk she will enter the door, sit until her leash is off and go into a running craze all around the house as fast as lightning. The whole family just laughs as we hear her upstairs doing laps around and comes racing back down. After her race she will sit by the couch and bark. That bark means she wants to come on the couch and sit right next to you. Later at night Minkus makes her rounds to see where she wants to sleep for the night! If your door is closed, Minkus will knock, come in and look at you under you open up the covers for her to jump in. She loves being under the covers.

    My family didn't believe me at first when I told them Minkus knew how to get into my room when my door is shut. About two months later my mother witnessed the whole thing, Minkus knows a spot on my door that, if she pushes it with her paw, it sometimes opens. That is definitely one trick she had learned on her own. As for sitting, laying and giving high fives, those tricks were taught with love and treats. Minkus loves being petted, kisses on her head, rubs behind the ears and people love giving them to her. Minkus major dislike is the bath! If I put on my shower to go in, Minkus flies out the room! She is very protective over us and loves barking at people that walk by the house. She is definitely a leader of the others when playing with them. Not only are people drawn to her but other dogs as well. She is an all-around happy, funny, loving, charming puppy!

    Minkus is from Marlboro, New Jersey, about twenty minutes away from the beach even though she is not a fan of the water. She has a strong attachment to my Dad, John. We all know deep inside My dad is Minkus's favorite. She loves being in the car. If my dad is mowing the lawn you can asure Minkus is in the passenger seat of the parked car just sitting with the door open!
