Collared today: Nani
NAME: Nani.
OWNER: Lorinda.
HOW THEY MET: The story begins like this… One day a friend of my children came home from school and called her mom at work all excited yelling, "Mommy, mommy we got puppies!!" Mom quickly replied, “You better take them back where you got them!!” They yelled back, "No mommy, Nellie had puppies!"
Sure enough, the mom came home to find nine beautiful puppies. Here is where I come in. After hearing about these puppies I just had to see for myself. You see the mom is a German Shepherd and the dad is a daschund. A daschund!
The children brought all the puppies and put them on the sofa for me to see. I sat on one end of the sofa and they played happily at the other end. While sitting there talking to my friend, I felt this warmth crawl across my lap. I look down and there was this beautiful little black and brown puppy sitting in my lap. She looked at me and puts her head down and went to sleep.
That is how Nani and I came to be. Nani picked me. So of course I had to take her home. Her name means beautiful in Hawaiian.
AGE: 3.
HOME: Baltimore County.
BREED: Mixed German Shepherd/Daschund.
BEST TRICK: Catching tossed things.
FAVORITE ACTIVITY: Flyball.
FAVORITE FOOD: Cheese and chicken.
FUNNIEST MOMENT: When I play with her squeaky toy she sings.

IF NANI HAD A MOTTO FOR LIFE, IT WOULD BE: Telling other dogs, “Don’t smell my butt please.”
