Danni's Dog Honey- by Danielle Xu Qian Smith

        

         Honey is a Deer-head Chihuahua. She is only 3 months old. I named her Honey because she is the color of honey. I got her as a birthday present from Mommy and Daddy. They bought her from a lady in our neighborhood, who sold chihuahua puppies.  I have had her for three weeks now. Every night, after we are in bed,                 Honey and Cracker-Jack, my sisters dog, get a treat after they go outside,so Honey learned to sit on the kitchen rug and wait patiently for her treat. Honey loves to play with her small tennis balls and squeak toys. Every time I throw a toy for her, she will catch it and bring it back like a golden retriever. She will never get tired of playing. Honey also tries to play with Cracker-Jack, but he will growl at her so she will leave him alone. She has a lot of energy(as puppies usually do).When I lay down on the couch with her, she will snuggle up close to my neck. Honey loves to cuddle.         Honey is a little smaller than a guinea pig and is small for her size. We used to have a small Chihuahua mix that was 3 months old and was twice as big as Honey. The lady Mommy and Daddy bought her from said that she was "the runt of the litter". I think that's why she is so small. Honey loves to run around our backyard and she runs like a cricket.   

              

       Honey is almost potty trained and  is a quick learner(chihuahuas usually are). When she is potty trained, I want to teach her some tricks like Sit, Stay, Come, Down, Shake, Dance, Bow, Wave, Speak, Give a Paw and Roll Over. One trick that I never taught her is Sit Up. When I open the refrigerator and get a treat out for her, she will sit up on her hind legs expecting the treat. Honey is very gentle when she takes a treat from me. When we are watching a movie(usually one that has dogs in it), Honey lays down and watches it too.
