Hamlet, the Dog of the Day
Name: Hamlet
Age: Five and a half months old
Gender: Male Breed: English Bull Terrier
Home: New York, USA
 
   This is Hamlet, or sometimes Hammy for short. Hamlet is very special to me and my boyfriend. He fits perfectly into our home and as you can tell from the pictures, he's very happy too! He loves pushing a soccer ball around with his face, and chasing his reflection in the water.

    One funny thing about Hamlet, he has an under-bite, meaning his lower jaw is just slightly longer than his upper jaw, making his bottom teeth stick out of his mouth, even when his mouth is closed! I find it adorable.

    As for his personality: imagine a human toddler, then multiply that by 50. He constantly does things to see if he can get away with them, sometimes three or four times in a row. But just as toddlers do, I watch him grow and learn as well. Hamlet is also very vocal, he sighs and groans when he is annoyed. He also makes "baby dinosaur yawn" noises every time he's really sleepy.

    He does know several tricks, the best is Hamlet can keep a bone on his nose until I tell him he can have it. He's still learning to catch it before it hits the ground though.

    Hamlet is more independent than affectionate. He walks around the house and explores. He does this so much that we have two baby gates placed in two different areas to block him from exploring the whole house when we are not there to watch him. But after he's tired of exploring, Hamlet usually comes on the couch, and sleeps next to me.
