Phædra, the Dog of the Day
Name: Phædra
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Female Breed: Weimaraner
Home: Algarve, Portugal
 
   My dog Phædra's a female Weimaraner dog, with an uncropped tail. We live in Portugal, near the shore, in the district of Algarve. What makes her special is that she came to us right at the time we (me and my boyfriend) were looking for a dog to adopt. I was thinking of adopting a pit bull in a shelter because it's my favorite breed, but a friend of us was told that someone had a pregnant dog, an accident with their Weimaraners while the female was in heat. So, we took the offer, to help them (they had nine puppies) and also because my boyfriend had lost his Weimaraner a few months earlier and wanted another. And it's also his favorite breed. So, you can say she fell from "heaven" when we most needed her.

    Phædra loves to sleep with her head on the pillow and hug you while you both sleep, she loves the beach, the sand, running after flying birds' shadows and insects, playing with cats, rolling in the dirt and run with horses. She really likes to play with my friend's pit bull, Winston, they roll all over the floor or the bed. And she loves smelling and licking my pet rats!

    She has had a purple blanket since day one and a purple scarf (it's actually mine but I just love to see her with it!) too! We can dress her in anything, as long as it's not on her head. It's kinda funny, me and a friend once dressed her in some pieces of our University's uniform, namely the necktie and the cape. Also, she loves bananas and apples, and she knows some tricks like sit, down, come, stay, paw (both of them with separate orders), speak, rollover and spin. We're still teaching her beg and growl. Taking photos of her is easy, she looks directly at the camera most of the times.

    She loves hugs (especially in bed as I said before) but also being hugged and kissed. She could sleep the entire day if we stay in bed with her, as soon as the word "walk" is said, you'd better get the leash because she'll be pulling with her mouth, and she absolutely loves cars and traveling inside (and we sometimes let her run beside the car when we're in the countryside). She has one problem though, she gets nervous when alone and sometimes barks, but we're working on that :). We love her very much!
