PET OF THE WEEK

Katie in the front yard

Name: Katie

Breed: German Shepherd

Weight: 70lbs

Age: 2 1/2 years

Home: Mendon New York

Best Friend: June Skinner

Hobbies: Chasing her ball (or anything anyone will throw), walking, running, and swimming (thats what she calls it... we call it "wading."She won't go in over her head.)

Katie is a lady, through and through. She's gentle, especially with small children, well mannered and lots of fun. She's reserved with people at first, but quickly makes friends with them as she gets to know them. One of her best friends is a Standard Poodle named Louie. Louie runs away from home occasionally and comes to our house to sit by the deck and wait for Katie to come outside. True love!

She does have one bad habit, which is not uncommon to most dogs. This is why we call her our German "Shedder."
