Skyler, the Dog of the Day
Name: Skyler
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male Breed: Australian Shepherd
Home: Wichita, Kansas, USA
 
   Skyler is special in that he's never met a stranger! He loves everyone, and doesn't have a mean bone in his body... you can probably tell that about him from the grin on his face! If he has a fault, it's that he thinks he's a "lap dog," and at 60 pounds, he's just a tad too big to be sitting on his Mom's lap all the time. Everything is his favorite! Truly, I've never had a dog that was so happy and eager to please! Since he's a herding dog, one of his absolute favorite activities is to "herd" our cat around the back yard. When kitty slips out the back door, I just tell Skyler to "get kitty" and he gently, but vigorously, herds kitty back on in the patio door! He loves to watch TV from the couch (and my lap, oof!)... and is too cute when something on the television catches his attention. He'll cock his head to the side, and you can just see the "wheels turning" as he tries to figure out how that bird, cat, or dog... or anything... got into that big box! He's a joy to have around the house!
