Renata, the Dog of the Day
Name: Renata
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Female Breed: Terrier, Lhasa Apso mix
Home: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
 
   This is our super loved, spoiled rotten and adored pet... Her name is Renata and she is a mix of terrier, lhasa apso or something similar. Isn't she cute? She lives in Vancouver, British Columbia and her personality and demeanor are of a grand queen... she owns us and loves us. She is protective and jealous, but she has a wonderful memory and absolutely adores and worships my parents.

    Every day, at about 9 pm, she follows Mom into the kitchen and asks - no, demands - her chicken. This started as a way to give her medicine for a few days and she managed to make it a daily habit. She gets chicken pieces in her mouth and after those, she goes to Dad and asks - no, demands (again) - her "cookie-time" which is a few pieces of her dry food, then she goes to Mom for her share and finally, to me. She gives me "five" (1 paw), then "ten" (the 2 paws) and she sits, lies and rolls over in her very well-rehearsed routine to get the snacks out of my hands.

    We love her and she is the pet of all our days.
