Wally, the Dog of the Day
Name: Wally
Age: One year and three months old
Gender: Male Breed: Long-haired miniature dachshund
Home: Englewood, Colorado, USA
 
   Wally loves to play! He wakes up and the first thing he wants to do is grab his squeaky toy. He also is a cuddler too. He loves to curl up in ball and snuggle up next to you with the blanket or a chew bone. Wally brings a smile to our faces every day.

    Wally can be very stubborn, especially when he wants to play or curl up in your lap. He'll give you a little half growl/bark to let you know, "hey, throw my chew toy" or "ok, I'm ready for a snooze... lap please."

    Wally is very smart and has learned some tricks. His most recent, that he is particularly good at, is playing dead. If you point your finger at him like you're shooting a gun and make the "Pow" sound, he's on his back in a second with feet up. It's awesome! He can also roll over, sit and lay down. For any favorite game, he loves to play fetch. His biggest nemesis - squirrels. They love to torment him and he loves to chase them.

    Wally is a snuggler, especially in the winter time. When the electric blanket is on, he's in heaven. He especially loves curling up with us in our bed sometimes. We love Wally and he is such a wonderful addition to our family.
