I love our dog. As some of you may know, we adopted our dog Sheena in August 2011 from Out West Pet Rescue in Prosser, WA. This is my first time owning a dog and let me tell you - I am in love. She is so sweet and we have so much fun with her - we are truely lucky to have her! Rob tells me I have no idea how lucky I am to have her as my first dog. I really don't I guess. We didn't have to house-train her. She isn't dog-agressive (in fact, she's overly friendly!). Her nickname suits her perfectly - she certainly rules our lives! She loves to play. She doesn't chew furniture and she doesn't want to eat the cats. She would love to be firends with them, but our two cats Onyx and Tabby have not been very accepting. I think Tabby and Sheena might end up as friends, but Onyx still hasn't left the spitting and hissing stage of their relationship yet.At the risk of sounding like a crazy pet lady, I am starting a pet photo album on Flickr for our 3 furry family members, or our "minions" if you will. Why not? They are part of our lives and I think it is imperitive to document all of their crazy antics. Sheena - soaking wet in the Oregon spring rain, tongue hanging out the side of her mouth, happliy trotting back to me with her precious ball. Tabby - laying on her back with her legs spread wide (not very ladylike by the way) with a dumb look on her face as if she is thinking in her walnut-sized brain "everything looks so funny when I'm upside-down". Or Onyx with her silent meows - begging for "ups" as we call it - she needs her shoulder time! And there are questions to be answered. Why does Tabby wake us up at 3am every night? How much of what we say does Sheena actually understand? Is Onyx really that sweet, or is she just using us to stroke her and feed her? The world may never know.
One thing I do know is this: I love these animals, and they love us.
