Luella, the Dog of the Day
Name: Luella
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Beagle, Rottweiler
Home: West Palm Beach, Florida, USA
 
   I found Luella wandering the streets when she was about seven months old, nearly five years ago. She happily got into my car. I actually didn't even know she was a puppy until the vet looked at her teeth. She has always sort of looked the same, except for the unfortunate fifteen pounds (6.8 kg) she's gained in the last two years. We are working on that with diet food and a bit more exercise, though that's not easy in the heat of a South Florida summer.

    Luella loves to swim. In the cooler months, I take her to the nearby Intracoastal waterway and throw sticks for her. She'll go out again and again, even being overweight. She also enjoys balls, and lately has exhibited a wonderful talent for soccer! She will run after the ball and put her foot on top to hold it firmly in place. Good luck trying to kick it (or pick it up) from under the iron foot. I think she would do great on an obstacle course, but sadly, her mother (me) is too lazy and affected by heat to pursue it. One very cute thing about Lu is all the noises she makes, when awake and when sleeping. She grunts, snorts, and snores. Quite the noisy girl!

    Luella shares her home with many cats, a few of whom she dislikes and will bother, but most of whom she gets along with well. Her best friend is my dog Ping. He was found in the streets of the same neighborhood one year later than Lu, and they are the greatest two dogs I could ever wish for. Whoever abandoned them gave me the best gifts ever.
