Hi Pumpernickel! Happy Dog of the Day!

What a cutie patootie Doxie x Chi puperoo you are, Pumpernickel! That sweet face of yours, those warm, love filled brown eyes are total heart-melters! And oh my, how beautiful is that silky, shiny, silver dappled coat! Your mom is right when she says purple is your color; sets off your coloring to perfection! I just ove your name, Pumpernickel! On second glance I decided you DO resemble a loaf of pumpernickel! hehe (And here I thought you name was a nod to your German heritage!) You may be small in size, Pumpernickel, but you sure do pack a ton of personality, sass and attitude into that little frame! Even your big brother Jack, the GSD, along with aunt Lulu, know who's the boss! The biggest dog in town, that you are, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

How lucky your family is, Pumpernickel, having a happy, sassy, playful, sweet and loving best friend and furkid in you, sweetheart! You're just as special as can be, a treasure, and so very desesrving of your big day of honor! And while I'm sorry your fur pawrents, Baby Girl and Rodney, are not here to celebrate you being crowned Dog of the Day, I know they're so proud of their precious girl!

Thanks for starting my day off with a BIG smile, cutie pie! Reading your human's touching tribute, seeing all of your heart-melting photos, has been a real treat! Hope you're treated to a very special day of celebration: keeping all of your loyal subjects (human and furry) in line; dancing, running, jumping and playing catch; cuddling with big brother Jack and your people while watching Andy Griffith re-runs; being loved and pampered to pieces by your family and all of your adoring friends and fans! Lots of love, cuddles and kisses to you, precious Pumpernickel, our very special and most deserving Dog of the Day, EVERY day! Love to dear Jack, too!

Oh, that face!!!
