Dearest Maverick, you are adorable! What a sweet, precious young man you are, so cute lying there so comfortably and looking out at me. You are just ten weeks old, and you've been with your family for three weeks now. You're full of energy and make your dear people smile with your antics! You love playing with your toys, especially your plastic pop bottle. You have three kitty housemates, and you think they're puppies, too! You are already beginning to "retrieve" things, maybe not always things you should retrieve. You and your dear people and kitties all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Maverick, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
