Lois, the Dog of the Day
Name: Lois
Age: Fourteen years old
Gender: Female Breed: Black Labrador
Home: Sterling Forest, New York, USA
 
   I love my very stubborn, a mind-of-her own, beautiful Lois. She lets me know when she's not happy with something I'm doing, she nudges my leg towards the door when she wants to go out, she always wants to eat, she doesn't like to snuggle, but she is my wonderful old lady. She is our first of many dog paws... we adopted her as a pup and started hiking her soon; it helped keep her healthy all these years, at least I'd like to think so.

    Lois came to us from Guiding Eyes for the Blind, New York, after she failed her temperament tests at a young age of eight weeks old. She was afraid of loud noises so could not start training; she had remained with this problem till recently, now that she's lost some hearing, the thunder, etc. doesn't seem to bother her. She lives a charmed life hiking, swimming in lakes, oceans and any swamps she finds too. Lois lives with Savannah and Desmo who came from the West Milford Animal Shelter, NJ, and Sweet Border Collie rescue, NY, respectively. She made a lot of friends with rescue dogs at Animal Rescue Services, NJ, too. Lois thinks rescue dogs rule! Her Mom and Dad do too!

    My husband and I stay young because of our dogs by making sure they lead well balanced lives with plenty of exercise hiking and doing agility, maybe we'll live to be 90 because of this, but if not; we can honestly say our lives are very fulfilled being woke daily by these wonderful fur balls!
